Who knows slg's on here

[The Inflicted]

I ran with a UL SLG as my main "fast" gun for a couple years. It never went down on me in the middle of a game, but I remember having to tech it quite a bit between outings to keep it running right. It seemed like there was a very fine line between the sear spring being so weak that the gun would go into runaway full auto and too strong to the point that the gun would require multiple trigger pulls to make it release. More than once I had to disassemble the gun and stretch or compress that spring to get it to just the right strength. Also, using a brand-new alkaline every other time I played was essential as again, even a slightly weakened battery would keep it from reliably firing.

I also remember the C-ring on the bolt wearing out often and needing replacement, though at one point DYE/Proto sent me some replacements made out of a newer green material that lasted longer than the original black ones.

It's a shame that the gun had those small problems because when I was actually using it I had no complaints. It was VERY fast, quiet, compact, super-lightweight, and never broke a ball on me in a game.

If they were ever to revisit the design, perhaps with an integral rechargeable lithium battery pack, I would be excited to give it another try.

Yeah I'm having a problem with batteries now, guess all mine are just old and I need new ones, I haven't had an electric marker in forever, I dont play much so I guess if it works the few times I may use it I'll be happy, I can always keep it in the collection as a cool marker from the past

Now I'm remembering I might have some slg specific parts.... I had a bunch of field kits I've been stealing orings from but they had some hard parts.

If they turn up one of you Looney's can cover shipping if you want it

Sounds good

...and I want to try and build a mechanical one at some point. I think it can work and it should be a fairly quiet spool if it works.

I always hoped that with the proliferation of 3D printing this would get done some day, though obviously the sear and/or trigger itself would need to be milled or laser cut to work. The geometry and location of the needed parts would be radically different from anything else done before.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to fit everything in the frame yet but I'm thinking of intercepting the air from the regulator, go into a 3 way, one output goes to the dump chamber, the other to a ram connected to the sear.

Since the incoming air will be shut off while firing it shouldn't continue to fire once the dump chamber empties
