horizontal magazine

[sinper2006]

i just had an idea to make a horizontal magazine just wonderin if anyone got any ideas for it




well dats proble wat it will look like but i'm prob goin to cut tee middle bit smaller and the elbow fittings so it will sit lower on the gun. just so you no its not finshed i don't have a end cap or the spring yet.

What is stopping the spring pushing all of the ammo into the breech?

[DannyGlover666]

It wont work man, i have the same gun.

[sinper2006]

well i only made this up like 30 min ago lol i goin to have a bolt n stuff inside all dat just need to figure it out a bit more.

[DannyGlover666]

Yeah it wont work trust me i just made mine like 30 min ago too, thats weird...

[sinper2006]

check out the Helical mag

dat would be cool on a machine gun but i'm tryin to make it 4 a rifle

[Hailfire753]

Mmm key. What you are doing, in theory, should work well. Your mag works on the same principal that most airsoft mags work, so there is no reason why it wont work.

You just need a weak-ish, long spring about the same diamerter as the inside of the pipe, or else the spring will bend instead of compressing. Also may need to add a piece of cardboard (or a piston) between the spring and the ammo, so that it pushes it.

Good Luck!

ya if i can find sum music wire i could make a spring but i dunno where to get it i did find the right sort of spring today but it would of been 2mm to wide grr.

if your Tee is wider than the barrel diameter, the spring could make the projectiles jam to prevent them from valling out ordinarily, but it will then feed normally when pressure flows through. This is how the magazine on the Baikal Drozd works:

the spring is only going to be strong enough to push the projectiles and inside the tee will be pipe with the same diameter as the barrel when i get a chance to get all the parts i'll tell you all how it goes
