combustion cartridge prototypes

The don't highly concentrate it
Calculate how much of pure oxy and how much of propane need for lets say 2x mix and measure it with a syringe and there you go.

I think this will be my nest project, it reload's bold-action. In my country(holland) they sell a kind of schrader valve's but tou can alwys put air without pushing a piston .

I like your nice and simple design but the hardest part is still yet to come:
making the cartridge itself.

[Tom]

Well for the cartridge i will use CPVC, for the seling on the back of the shell I will probely use 3mm thick pvc sheet. The spark gap will be the hardest part(for me )

i thought the idea of a cartrige was easy and cheapest reloading, y dont u make paper cartrages with ammo in the front that u slide in the back of a full chamber, shut the back that has the ignitor in it and lock it down, then u got possiblities of double barrel and stuff?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

A paper catridge is hardly reloadable, plus is wouldn't give that satisfying clatter when it ejected and hit the ground

looks nice! did this shoot fast? I am wondering if I should go into the combustion business'' as it gives so much more power. But at the same time it seems so much more uncontrolable and dependent of so many factors>mix shock time etc. Jack is it really practical to start looking into combustion airguns?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

That prototype would easily put a marble through 1/4" plywood, however with combustions if you want power you have to go big. When I tried making 6mm cartridges, the power was a joke. For a small powerful cartridge it would have to be a hybrid, and that adds complication that isn't worthwhile if you don't have a machine shop and tonnes of cash.

lol we thought of the same idea, except mine uses a firing pin and percusssion caps!

[ramses]

It also costs more, is less powerful (than an equivalent air mix hybrid), and is less available than air.

EDIT: poop, sorry for kicking, but I was linked by this delete if you feel like it.

... yet I was considering it as an option, never came to anything though.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Ok, time to breath new life into this idea. Here's an HGDT model for a buckshot round with 9 BBs, should give about the same power as a burst from a BBMG, good enough for me

very nice, pretty similar to mine only yours has larger cartridges,,,

Mine will be glued up as soon as my PVC cement unsolidifies and is useable...

If that works time to make it look nice and Neostead here we come...

and then many other guns of course, at least one from borderlands.... But that all is in the future, when I have more money

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

If that works time to make it look nice and Neostead here we come...

Actually, this is what I had in mind it wouldn't look bad with the massive cartridges.

[JDP12]

Ah... very nice. Or you could go with the Mechem NTW-20

thats a 20mm beast, even bigger cartridges

Personally I'm a shotgun guy... If i get these to work pretty good, I will be making alot of gun platforms for them- probably at least one based off of a shotgun similar to one in Borderlands- a revolver style...

We shall have to see
