hi guys
ive been attemtping a schematic that, for all intensive purposes is an advanced, relaodable zip gun(i hate that name and the device) its a basic concept and i cant really draw so i havent actually MADE one yet. so please jump in and share any opinion you might have.
it starts off with a basic rig that gets straped to your forearm. 3 half inch sheets covered in leather, 3 leather sttaps to snug.to your arm, and a small springloaded handle that goes in front of your palm. ( best way to explain would be the concept of a spring loaded industrial ratchet strap on your arm) now comes the hard part.
the plan is to weld 4 tubes onto a base plate that mounts to the back of your hand, and connecting the springloaded pulley to the rear of the tubes with 4 seperate hammers that would all hit at the same time.
another problem im having is the reload process. i have no idea how to weld or devise an efficient method to reload the tubes aside from putting them in thru the top. but at the same time how would the ammo not fall out while walking?
and of course the right material for the job. this is metalworking AND gunsmithing at the same time. ive never made a gun nor do i understand the proccesses to create one.
so idk what metal for the tubes, whether they need a spiral groove ran inside, and if its even possible to have it so i could reload and seal the ammunition within the tube.
i am going to yse a basic pulley system for the hammers and it will be spring loaded. a cool idea is that i could make within each tube a small piece of metal that slides up or down depending on the tension of the pulley and hammer system, but i can only imagine, no clue if its practical or not. id enjoy.it if i could reload from the rear of.the tubes closest to myself, butbof course i need for lack of a better word, a stopper and sealer to kep the ammo in place.
p.s. the size of this device will truly work best wanything from a .22 caliber to a .40. mainly due to the size restrictions.
give ur input and lets make something amazing ;)
