Title: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: younggunner on March 04, 2007, 11:10:57 am I am designing a homemade shotgun. By using the word shotgun i am describing how it loads not that it shoots multiple darts. It will be using rotating bolt like Bolt Sniper's BS-8 and the rest you can see from the pictures.

And its also nice to have a new member around the site, Welcome Ygunner! Is this thing clip fed?
Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: jwasko on March 04, 2007, 09:41:53 pm Welcome Younggunner!
Is this thing clip fed? Not to take away from you Younggunner, but, yes, it is "clip fed." Actually, it will be a tube magazine. Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: younggunner on March 04, 2007, 09:59:15 pm yes like jwasko said it is tube fed. I based my loading design off of that of a real shot gun, if anyone doesn't understand there is a diagram at the bottem of this page labeled Pump-Action Shotguns(http://science.howstuffworks.com/shotgun5.htm). This describes how rel shotguns work but it should answere most questions

Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: robonerfer on April 09, 2007, 06:57:37 pm Oops, I thought it was still march for a sec.
Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: younggunner on April 14, 2007, 10:54:11 am I tried making a 3d design in Google Sketchup because I thought it would be easier than a CAD program but I was wrong. So now I a making a 3D CAD design of the gun. I’ll put it up I when I finish.
Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: Megamannt92 on April 14, 2007, 12:15:38 pm A CAD drawing huh? I want to see that!
Quote Oops, I thought it was still march for a sec. Its Ok, this is still work in progess. Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: younggunner on April 15, 2007, 10:46:58 am It might be a while because of school but this summer I should have time finish the details in the design and start building.
I was planning to finish the design stage over spring break but instaed i got carried away with trying to single a hornet(which is almost done). I had some free time so I made a CAD drawing of my shell.

Brass Portions (http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=5e708AS7TFEqyI4s4eBgMmC8VjZYdM25Xm3Bv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=l) PVC Portions (http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=5e708AS7TFEqyI4s4eBgMmC8Vj-4TQ1GFFdDv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=l) Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: jwasko on April 22, 2007, 03:45:43 pm Good luck Younggunner. Is your design still (basically) like the original MS Paint diagrams?
I know what you mean about not being able to get anything done during the school year. Once I'm done (only two weeks! :grin:), it's going to be a marathon of Nerf modding and homemade-making as I get ready to go to PANO. Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: Megamannt92 on April 22, 2007, 07:24:13 pm I wish you luck, making a gun with shells is going to be difficult. Finding all the correct parts could prove difficult as well.
And you CAD drawings are pretty darn cool too! Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: younggunner on April 22, 2007, 09:29:56 pm The CAD Pragram I found is free, its basically a company is trying to promote their product so they are giving out a light version for free till june 30. It is a light version of their full pruduct but it has more than everything you need(at least for designing nerf guns). here is the link if anyone wants to download it, http://www.cocreate.com/OneSpaceModelingPE.cfm, I have found it easy to use and it works well

Is it like AutoCAD? Thats what my Dad uses at work. Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: younggunner on April 23, 2007, 08:36:30 pm I dont know I have never used autocad but i gues they have the same general purpose so they cant be too different
I know there are some programs were you have to type in commands for this one you dont you just have to select things with buttons I finished the front portion if the bolt (http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=5e708AS7TFEqyI4s4eBgMmC8VnCtWjNE4Fo2v4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=l) and I started the back portion here is what I have so far (http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=5e708AS7TFEqyI4s4eBgMmC8VjlndFJQ2Erwv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=l) Title: Re: Homemade Shotgun Design Post by: General Cole on June 02, 2007, 03:17:44 pm Search NH for the Boomstick.
