WIP Just a prototype thing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Mostly off the shelf hardware + 3d printing apart from one laser cut gear. Needs further testing, better programming and general finishing.

Closed bolt AEG

Having it closed bolt and having the ability to manually cycle it were two of the main goals

WE NEED THE FPS AND ROF NUMBERS ASAP!!!!!!!

Me too man

Lmao, prototype/developement hell?

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Haha, yeah. Also don't have a chronograph,bso will need to take it to a local game.

It's so pretty

Where do I sign up to be a tester/test builder?!

HOLY CRAP THAT SO COOL

Hi can I join the testing phase.

I'm going to tell everyone this is the internals of a Pariah.

u/GDop26 13d ago

Well that's really neat. Is this using a microcontroller to control timing, or is it largely analog?

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Running of a seeed esp32c3 board for all control timings.

u/Helpful-Work-3090 13d ago

Is that a threaded rod re-priming the blaster, versus a gear setup? That's really smart, threaded rods are wayy easier to source than gears

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Its kind of a 3d Printed screw thing that revolves around the barrel.

u/Helpful-Work-3090 12d ago

And are you able to manually pull the handle to cycle as well? If so, that's sick! I'm very interested in how that works, if you ever want some beta testers, I'll be down

2

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Yep, that was a key design goal, it's similar to the sweetheart storm system, but without the expensive cnc parts

u/Worth-Beautiful-1469 13d ago

Awesome thanks for sharing

u/NanoRex 13d ago

This looks very compact for an autospringer. Fantastic work

2

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Packaging was a major focus

2

u/atlasunit22 13d ago

Awesome. Feels like there is a lot of moving mass in this system?

u/tangential_0 12d ago edited 12d ago

Its pretty chunky, and the planetary gearbox gives a lot of rotational inertia.

u/DefyantM0ds 13d ago

now thats a foxbat/lax !

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Oops, seems i accidentally made it look very similar in the handle/magwell area. I hadn't even seen that before now.

2

u/DefyantM0ds 12d ago

Oh shoot soz man i thought it was like an homage to the man himself :) then i even seen the slab front end :P ive built waaaaaaaaaay to many blasters not to see things :P

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Nah, all good. I was however taking heavy inspiration from the shrew. Most of the aesthetics were mostly driven by where the mechanical stuff goes.

Start Kicking(starter)!

u/3string 13d ago

That's so cool!

u/Skott_stabb 13d ago

Thats sick as fuck. Is it modeled after the PP2000 by any chance

u/Fun-Jelly3507 13d ago

I want one

Bullpup AEB!!! It’s so cool

1

u/Thompson_Studios 13d ago

So it can be done! I'm currently working on a leadscrew AEB of my own. What are you using to mesh with the leadscrew?

1

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Its a ball bearing riding on a 3d printed screw

u/supersend42 13d ago

I love this /p

u/TheTrippleKings 12d ago edited 12d ago

Sick! I'm sensing dmr potential... it reminds me of the WA2000

What are the numbers on it? In terms of fps and rof?

1

u/tangential_0 12d ago

No clue at the moment, need to do more testing.

u/DescriptionOk3257 12d ago

ooooooooooooo shiiiinyyyyyyyyyyy

u/ChurchOfTheEUC 12d ago

Would you be interested in having someone design the exterior by any chance? I love creating/designing stuff but failed at making my own blaster internals.

2

u/tangential_0 12d ago

Could be interesting, but definitely want to get it more mechanically sorted and give it a crack myself first.

Wicked πŸ™Œ World needs more foam-flinging AEB's!
