Airsoft specific gun

If some company did make some custom AEG design, then they'd simply base the internals on a common model with a flexible layout, like the way most of the non-real steel pistol designs are basically the 1911 dressed up with extra bits. It wouldn't be worthwhile for them to try and reinvent the wheel - most of the ergonomic problems have been resolved in one way or another with the orginal real steel versions, and the majority of players want something based on real steel anyway.

As iceage says, it sounds like you'll end up with a paintball gun if you try and make a specialised 'bb ejection device'.

Of course, I'm biased and bitter, I've spent several hours trying to reassemble a Version 2 gearbox today, and I've having a hard time telling the screws apart from teeth splinters at this stage...

Been there, done that...... Spent 2 days attempting to re asemble mine. got it in the end. there is a trick to it that makes things alot easier.

put a screwdriver into the end of the gearbox into the spring guide. or even better, the threaded bar from the stock. screw that into the guide. makes ity alot easier to hold it all together.

7000 - 10000 rounds per minute? is that even possible? jesus christ, that's insane! it must be gas powered, there's no way you could get a gearbox to move that fast.

I think an airsoft rifle that doesn't look like a weapon would go down very well, apart from the culture. Gives a chance for people who can't secure their airsoft marker from siblings who would use it to rob shops, or who can't convince their parents to allow it to be in the house, or those who have a bad record and don't want to be known as a troublemaker anymore, or.......

I could go on, but the idea is clear. Making a marker that does not look like the real deal would sell to some people. Dismissing it out of hand is wrong.

Seems like you had a decent point in there but lost it amongst some nonsensical gibberish. Might want to rephrase it a bit.

It's actually an interesting idea that's not going to fly with 98% of the forum regulars (which is why such a thing will never be commercially available), but I can see the point. For some people, the gun appearance is a genuine issue; a 1J bb ejecting device that isn't a replica of a firearm is abstract enough that parents might allow this, and friends aren't put on edge. I've had gotten enough stick from my mates any time I've tried to explain Airsoft. Usually followed by "How the hell can that even be legal?".

A parent might not allow an Airsoft rifle with all the external qualities of an assault rifle into the house, but a tazer gun? Not nearly as much of a problem. Perhaps the same might be said of what would essentially look not unlike a G11 (I await the flames! Bring them on!) - a harmless looking box encasing a barrel and gearbox, slot for pouring in bbs, and fold-out grip.

Now that I've described it, I could see it selling as a starter/youth-orientated AEG; anyone want in?

i saw somthing like an airsoft flame thrower and was air powered, but had a shortish range more like a hose than a airsoft gun!(if this was already mentioned sorry.)

Yeah KD the strafer uses a bullet valve I think, or a hose under pressure.

And this is stupid, a bb shooting device is an aeg, just without the externals, selotape your gearbox to your battery to your hop to your barrel.

Get a 6mm paintball gun otherwise, sheese, I love airsoft replicas and the fact I can essentially hold and operate an ak or m4, and see what it would seem like at least a little bit, is the whole appeal.

I had a vietnam moment at the bday game, like in father ted when they hunt jack

A bloody paintball gun or some such galco pipework aint gonna give that feeling.
