I have been trying to write this out for the past month or three but i have not had the time, nerve, or gumption to do it. I have parts coming in now and need to poo or get off the pot. I currently have 4 autococker paintball markers and 1 Alien marker that i am considering doing something with and i need ideas / assurances.
To start off with i was able to get an Alien Interceptor maker from here with ideas but now that i have it and am looking at cutting it i am not sure if that is what i want to do. My plan was to use an Arduino with lipo batteries, wireless charging and a screen on the side. This marker is very clean and i am not sure of the rarity of an interceptor so i am very hesitant to start cutting wires and aluminum. I have two ideas for this and would like anyone interested to weigh in on them. One is to pick up a mordock board kit and use that instead of the arduino. Two is to return it back to original and use it.
On to the autocockers. I have a full black and blue dye reflex, a full pre 99 teal splash, a trilogy, and a mountain something tan and green body. I have 2 electronic frames a blue Eblade E2 and a race frame coming to me right now and i am trying to decide if i want to find another body, and find the missing parts for the current body, or convert the reflex and or the pre 99 to electro. The one i am most likely to convert right now is the pre99 it is currently just a wall hanger and i already have a wall hanging autococker (steampunked autococker).
If i decide to convert the pre99 it will use the race frame have an ID ram with 1 Eclipse QEV, Dye LPR, raceframe 3 way, ANS venturi bolt, maybe an ID valve, stock spring, new bottle but with the air america reg. At this time i plan on disabling the eyes and not installing them as well as in the future running a mordock board in the race frame depending on if i can get the race frame going.
The Eblade E2 would go on the dye reflex or a new body. The reflex has been upgrade way way to much. ID 3 way, Eclipse ram with 2 Eclipse QEVs, Palmers LPR, Dye hyper 3 HPR, stock bolt Venturi bolt, rocket valve, lightened polished hammer, stock spring, and i am sure i am missing something but it is what it is. I think that the trigger is stock but i might have put a roller bearing in it at some point. I can shoot this marker extremely fast but most everyone else has issues with it. If i decide to use the electronic frame i am very hesitant to even think of putting eyes on this since i may want to go back so likely the eyes would be disabled here as well.
To help combat the lack of eyes, these would be feed with dye rotors or a similar force feed hopper.
If i decide to finish the mountain it would be instead of the pre99 and would use the race frame, and most of the parts listed for the pre99 except change out the ID valve for a rocket valve , i would need quite a few parts for that though, hammer, back block, HPR, spring, asa, etc.
As far as the trilogy i think it would require to much work and machining in order to add the eblade or race frame.
If I decide not to change over the reflex that would put the eblade on the back burner and I would work on getting a body and all of the other parts maybe even seeing if i could get something from ID or freeeflow. Leaving the reflex as is would not hurt my feelings in the slightest.
As far as currently active markers i have 2 electros, 2 mechs, 2 pumps, 2 ICD alleycats, a nova and a thumper. I play weekend warrior type ball and enjoy woods ball more then speedball but of the 2 fields around me both fall more into speedball venue than woodsball.
