Ok after much thought an consideration i have "scraped" The tripple s

i now plan to make a new gun with stats guessed at the following:

- 16mm barrel(rifled 16mm soon to come)

- Slimmer design than the triple s.

- researched 2 piece piston ( the main part i am focusing on ). soon to come it is an o-ringed aluminum peice.

-18mm port.

- 30mm chamber: 2:1 barrel ratio with 16mm barrel.

- better ergonomics.


ill get some plans up on here soon i hope.

edit: scratch that i might enter it

peace all

Wait... did you actually throw it out? If so, why?

Anyways, good luck with this build. It would be a good idea to have a chamber:barrel ratio of 2:1 for all the barrels, rather than just one.

What do you mean by two part piston? Are you talking about one with an internal check valve? Are you talking about one that involves half of the piston as a piston stop, and the other half as the actual moving piston (like the Supah Valve)?

You're binning it already?

I thought (aside from the piston thing) it was working fine?

looks amazing chaos im looking forwards to the new rifled barrel
nice work

aight, it done kinda im still in progress of the piston i need it lathed so it shouldn't be long

im making plans on the bolt so even tho experament-u2 has given me a brilliant idea for the bolt, ideas are always welcome.

neways its way easier to hold, fill, fire, and wateva else, and best of all it has no:

lol im so happy i must now go shoot the 200 od marbles i have hehehe.

Holy hell. I've spent so many nights drooling over this gun, I never throught it was yours! Great looking gun man. I'm looking forward to the final product!

oh cheers mate, well i also had another idea i might make a "shell" for it then it will cover up the uglyness of it, if that is possible .

Nah I wouldn't. You don't see too many stainless steel guns. It looks great!

ok so yall want the good news or the good news?

I was wondering what you were on about.

I've finally found the interesting bit


I like the breech

Thanx mate, i appreciate the comments.

did you do your sig in photoshop? i might have to do the same.

I've got photoshop but I used the gimp because I've used it for so long I know what all the controls do and I can't be bothered learning all the bits of another graphics program.

The photo itself wasn't edited though, just a border and some text effects.
