Because hammer forges are expensive.
well, I think you still need an elevator of sorts, but it would mechanically operate by the zig zag wheel, instead of a spring.
Well if I have the zig zag as a roller that solves that
how so?
So the trenches are forced along a roller
Makes it much easier to move along and then I only have to lube the roller
The zig and zags would be lifts and drops
So they themselves are the elevators
Each second shot is lifted
Then it's a sheer drop for the next
quick question, where would the zigzag go exactly?
Also prevents falling out without a latch
Bottom of the tray
Then ontop a flicker like in a belt fed machine gun to push it along.
ah
So little holes ontop and zig zags on the bottom
This also prevents you from inserting it upside down.
so like the zig zag would look like this, just off to the side of the bolt?
wouldnt the flicker line have to move up and down to be able to maintain contact with the magazine?, or are the spokes going to be long enough to avoid that problem?
I'm probably gonna make it a gear
Then have little droppers in the gear that land in holes
The zig zags are more for the raising and lowering of rounds
hmm. not sure I understand.
Im sure it'll work though. you understand this stuff a lot better than me xD
I'll draw a quick diagram
ty
The shaded ones are raised and the none shaded ones are lowered
So they would ramp up and down
so it basically is the metal block idea
oh yeah, its all coming together now
Side view
ooh
As you can see near the send of a zig zag it would have a sheer drop
So it can't roll back
Nope
Infantry
Because I ain't a pussy
i already got rejected because i have asthma so thats fun
