Red Rider= Lever action Paintball gun.

From what I have remembered owning a Red-Ryder BB gun, it was spring loaded but after you pumped it once you could not pump it again. It would either be a very simple or extremely difficult to make some sort of peice to keep from "multi" pumping. All around a good idea of sorts, great for scenario play like civil war or something.

P.S If anyone was wondering, I cant hardly make it on here to post so much, just pop in every now and again.

hmm.  You'd need some huge intricate pump design to make it stockpile enough pressure in a single pump.

the problem that i can see with this is a lot of bb guns you can pump over and over, thus achieving a greater velocity..........i dont want to get hit with a ball going 400 fps please

sounds interesting.  good concept actually....

BB guns already go around 300fps..and most fields only allow 280 fps so not quite 300 fps.

Wouldn't it be cool if a "BB gun" company made a Paintball gun. Now I'm  talking basicaly a Red rider with larger, removeable barrel and reinforced parts or parts made some sort of metal. Now there would be problems with it such as controling Velocity and ROF. Also what kind of hopper would it take if any? But heck! If I could get my hands on one of thos, I'd quite speedball and play stricly rec ball. I might have to do some tinkering tonight to see what It would take and see if it would be acutaly possible.

Pros: Never ever have to buy air, could be very consitent run on pressurized air, and it would just look ganster.

Cons: Very slow rate of fire and ???s about how much punch the red rider air pump has..... could it projest a Paintball?????? Thats all I could come up with.

Please don't Flame the heck out of me.

 Any Thoughts on the Idea. Input a preciated.
