I recently came up with a design for a pneumantic pump action shotgun. I have everything thought out exept one part, the ejection. I need a relatively easy way to eject the empty cartridges and not let every cartriges out at once. I have might have access to a machine shop but im not shure. Thanks if you can help

Ejection is simple in theory, difficult in practice. All you need is a groove in the side of the shells, very close to the rear. On the bolt, put a long rod with a tooth on the end that will engage with the groove in the shell, so that when it is pulled back, it pulls the shell out of an ejection port on the side.
Completed projects:
CA1 SMSS Basic Inline
CA3 PDAB Airburst Cannon

Current Project: Bolt action rifle (25x140mm + 1in shot)

i just thought of this now, but you could use a magnet to eject a spent shell. it would be a simple solution, but your shell would have to be a fairly loose fit.

you know you are not an engineer if you have to remind yourself "left loosy righty tighty"

Take a look at this thread I made a few weeks ago, I built a working prototype pump action, that had a side mounted magazine, and a bottom ejection system. If you dont understand how any of it works, feel free to ask, either in this thread, or by pm.
