LOL bipod falls off...
That is really cool. It could use a redesign to make it prettier but as long as it functions! Good job.

Nice.
You know... If you used a 3 way valve for the trigger, you would have true semi auto.
And an air cylinder would make it cycle (better?). And if you hooked it up to a fridge compressor...

What are you using for your magazine spring? is the magazine sealed from atmosphere?

ty. in the spirit of KISS during prototyping, the breech was held together with tape. lol
It exploded several times. very fun. After i got it working, i glued everything down. No more explosions.
