how a paintball marker works (math project)

[marshall13]

hey all i have a math project due here shortly and need your help. its on the way a DM7 works towards shooting a paintball from when you pull the trigger to the moment the ball leaves the barrel. if anyone could give me a step-by-step proccess of what goes on i would really appreciate it.

Dye techs would be very helpful to me right now

thanks

Marshall

What bits do you want to know that are relevant to the maths?

 

[Devrij]

It might be easier to do a mech instead of a DM7. Nice and simple.

do a shocker.

www.zdspb.com has a moving image of what happens as the bolt fills with air etc might leave you some way to what you need - will try and find the exact part.

Word zdspb has moving diagrams for most guns, the mini is probably the best to use as the full firing assembly is on the pic, or shocker, think there are a few others in there too, some just have the blt assembley rather than the whole air path diagrams, but you will have towork out the force put on each part from the air I'm guessing?

with the operating pressure of a Shocker being 200psi(average, also going by manual) it does make the maths a bit easier and you have Ydna and all his tech excellence on www.zdspb.com try not to do it on a gat you like rather one that is better for your project, just a thought

You pull the trigger, some stuff happens inside the gun, ball comes out the end! It's that simple

yep as andy piper said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. You pull the trigger. The little sprites inside wind the catapult up and load it. Then they release the catapult and the ball files.

lol or how about the magic fairy.

its the magic fairy that sits in the breech and shouts down to the little sprites to tell them to release the catapult
