pump ion and closed bolt

[fouge]

Hi

Now that I ordered what I needed to make a mech ion, I was wondering how to make a pump ion? Is it possible to make it work in closed bolt? Does anyone have a schematic or something?

Thanks

Two fat guys paintball had it figured out, but they only sold a few kits.

You would have to completely re design the bolt itself. With how the ion is stock, the dump chamber will fire when the bolt closes.


Lemme see if I can find a gif of the operation.

Heres a thread from the lesser of the paintball forums. you need an additional air inlet on the back of the can, plus a bunch of other work.

A lot of the links and pictures are broken, but you can get some what of an idea.

Id think you will run out of room for tubing pretty fast with a pump added as that was just another air blocking switch that the pump hits resetting the bolt.
