not sure as what to do with my abrams build? ''the main gun'

do i (A) bulid in a fake recoil and sound

or (B) make it actualy fire :D

the first idea is simple build it to look like it fires, and try get a sound system to work in time with the henglong elecronics etc??..

or use the vast aray of live fire choices. The one that pleased me the most is a simple electro magnetic coil gun' quite powerful tool' and not many moving parts? ....or theres air soft :S ... and of course theres Co2 power??

anyone know of another way to make it fire!! i made a small (potato gun) with some simple tubing hairspray and a sparker' and as amusing it is to see a flash fly out the barrel with a little foam projectile, the reliability is an issue

but i really have an itch to get it to fire something

I still have the standard H/L system for firing BBs,,,its not too bad but it never seems to fire in the same place twice,altho i do have a short barrel on the KV so that probably doesnt help

Is yours not firing at all or just not getting the balls to the gun?

Would you prefer a paintball gun? More fun less complications to build. Sax
