Giant version of this CO2 revolver for paintballs?

I think it might work with a little tinkering

Sounds good to me!

lol, exactly!

Giving it a go to see how feasible it can be ...

lol, nice! I wonder if any mods are needed to the CO2 delivery hack he has going in order to get decent FPS out of a paintball or FS round.

This should be interesting!

The main issue I see for paintball is the lack of dwell ... The valve stay open as long as you're pressing the trigger ...
it's a neat idea with a clever solution, but might be a bit hard to apply to paintball ...

I'll finish this one and go from there ...

blaze those trails!

It's not as smooth as it could be, there is some print tolerance issue (didn't clean the prints ...).
in theory it works, but it would benefit from a few metal parts ...

The big question to adapt it to paintball is complicated ...
- The indexing is not reliable enough for GameDay - the gas valve may not be suited for paintball, there is no dwell ...
- the gas line needs to be flexible, this may cause an issue to get enough flow for proper velocity

I don't show my bottom layers thee hee

Is it possible to take just the nelson style valve back.. if there's a power tube then chop it down all the way.. and mount the valve inline to move forward and back... and legit have a spring loaded rear hammer that just smacks the shit out of the entire valve body pushing it forward and engaging the valve.......... I think this would actually work for a revolver :P

The mechanical noise of your marker will at least be 2x the next guy haha 'TINK' every time you shoot - I guess could put some rubber.

I t would be like an old prolite with an anti-siphon tube CO2 bottle on it... those things "panged" so hard.

I have custom machined a nelson valve and you can make them 1" - 1.5" in length minimum so can be a tiny package, aluminum very light easy to move with a hammer, only downside I can see is .. some resistance from your air tube having to move with the bolt. an extremely heavy trigger pull to actuate the hammer / reset it's spring...unless that is reset via gas somehow. Or we're doing the ole slap the hammer method I forget what it's called.. single action triggers? I dono.
