Semi Auto Marble Gun

[Redcoat]

Hi all,

I came across this idea while i was designing my bolt action MAS 36 and i dont think it would work really but i just thought that maybe anyone could say anything else about it im thinking about making a prototype but i dont think it will work anyway because there wont be enough pressure.

Thanks.

bit difficult to understand.. but all up im not completly sure if it would work maybe a more simple idea would be more efficient but still have a go and see how it turns out.

oh sorry about the other post i understand it now. good idea! i would like to see that in action

Nice idea you should build it and show us how well it works

thanks i might do that after i finish my competition bb gun.

shouldn't the airhole be between the marble and the bolt? Otherwise it will be blown back along with the bolt.

have a look at this design, it's roughly the same principle - it's also similar to the idea behind my cartridge-fed concept, though without the cartridges of course.

No, from the way I see it, the rubber band pushes the marble into a position so it is just past the hole. I think the first diagram shows the gun right after it has been shot (notice how the bolt is pushed back all the way).

I cant read Russian! What gayness is this?!?!

shud be rite is correct. the diagram i have is in the position to let the marble into the barrel and after that it gets pushed forward by the band so the airhole is in the middle.Im sorry its not the best diagram .The diagram is in loading position. And if this works ill be incorporating this into an
MLE 50 design to go along with my french indochina war arsenal that im making.
