My A5 and 1200 Round Hopper/Backpack

I'm curious to see how that works.

Does it force feed the balls through the tube? It must, you said it has an eye to shut off the feed when the tac-cap is full. Also, it would need to force feed if you raise the marker above the pack. Do you have much trouble with ball breakage? How high a ROF will it support?

If you want to set a price for it, the first thing you have to figure out is how much it costs you for materials. Not knowing how it operates I can't guess as to what this figure is. Second thing you have to factor in is how long it takes to assemble, and how much your time is worth to you. Other than that, you do want to make sure the cost isn't too insanely high, or people won't buy it.

I actually did have an idea for something like this two or three years ago, though my thought would have been a shoulder carried rig with a tube hanging down to the marker, utilizing gravity. Nothing this elaborate. Nice incorporation of the tank holder/remote line as well. At the time I was thinking about it I definitely would have wanted one, though I never would have been able to afford it. At the time I was also more into the woodsball/milsim styles, but eventually gave that up for more high performance/speedball upgrades.

yea to me it looks like a warp

Rambino You are very wise.

Rambino, you might as well put your buisness card on there....

I dont know whats scarier, you doing patent work, or Mbro and CarbineFreak doing it for you.

I have already filed a patent. I have been wanting to show this off for weeks now but had to wait till I finshed the patent stuff. It was killing me.

The system uses a electric driven motor with an impeller to push the balls through the tube. The trick is doing this without stalling the motor or crushing the balls. Thats the secret.

The feed impeller is capable of feeding 25BPS. However you cant push paintballs through 3 feet of tubing that fast. There is to much friction and the balls are to fragile. I think this is why others have failed at a system like this they tried to feed the chamber of the gun and you cant keep up with todays rates of fire. This is why I use the little hopper on the gun It holds 50 to 75 balls and allows you to fire burst of full auto and not run out. The feeder is refilling the hopper at a rate of 7 to 10 BPS in reality is pleanty. If you figure full auto at 15BPS you would go through 1000 balls in 66 seconds. No one does that.

The system does not break balls as long as I use a medium grade paint. Cheap paint is crap. I wouldnt shoot it with or without this back. I shoot WPN Toxic.  I really like this paint. I was using before I built the Pack.  It worked in the system so I didnt see a reason to change. I have tested and will continue to test different paints. My plan is to build a list of recommended paint. 

 

wow that's l33t. i would so get one if you put it into production. IF i still played paintball though

DUDE, PLEASE make a vid, it would be sooo awesome to c that thing feed the balls.

the website doesn't work for me
