Makes it much easier to move along and then I only have to lube the roller

2021-01-28 17:09:12 UTC  

The zig and zags would be lifts and drops

2021-01-28 17:09:20 UTC  

So they themselves are the elevators

2021-01-28 17:09:41 UTC  

Each second shot is lifted

2021-01-28 17:09:48 UTC  

Then it's a sheer drop for the next

2021-01-28 17:10:01 UTC  

quick question, where would the zigzag go exactly?

2021-01-28 17:10:08 UTC  

Also prevents falling out without a latch

2021-01-28 17:10:12 UTC  

Bottom of the tray

2021-01-28 17:10:35 UTC  

Then ontop a flicker like in a belt fed machine gun to push it along.

2021-01-28 17:10:45 UTC  

ah

2021-01-28 17:11:00 UTC  

So little holes ontop and zig zags on the bottom

2021-01-28 17:11:11 UTC  

This also prevents you from inserting it upside down.

2021-01-28 17:11:44 UTC  

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?

2021-01-28 17:12:07 UTC  

I'm probably gonna make it a gear

2021-01-28 17:12:20 UTC  

So it just has to spin to push it along

2021-01-28 17:12:36 UTC  

Then have little droppers in the gear that land in holes

2021-01-28 17:13:12 UTC  

The zig zags are more for the raising and lowering of rounds

2021-01-28 17:15:47 UTC  

hmm. not sure I understand.

2021-01-28 17:16:11 UTC  

Im sure it'll work though. you understand this stuff a lot better than me xD

2021-01-28 17:16:52 UTC  

I'll draw a quick diagram

2021-01-28 17:16:59 UTC  

ty

2021-01-28 17:24:24 UTC  

The shaded ones are raised and the none shaded ones are lowered

2021-01-28 17:24:33 UTC  

So they would ramp up and down

2021-01-28 17:25:21 UTC  

so it basically is the metal block idea

2021-01-28 17:26:28 UTC  

oh yeah, its all coming together now

2021-01-28 17:27:26 UTC

Side view

2021-01-28 17:27:35 UTC  

ooh

2021-01-28 17:27:58 UTC  

As you can see near the send of a zig zag it would have a sheer drop

2021-01-28 17:28:04 UTC  

So it can't roll back

2021-01-28 17:28:15 UTC  

Nope

2021-01-28 17:28:18 UTC  

Infantry

2021-01-28 17:28:23 UTC  

Because I ain't a pussy

2021-01-28 17:28:44 UTC  

i already got rejected because i have asthma so thats fun

2021-01-28 17:29:22 UTC  

But you get what I'm saying right?

2021-01-28 17:29:31 UTC  

yup

2021-01-28 17:29:49 UTC  

Thumb triggers are weird

2021-01-28 17:29:53 UTC  

They are

2021-01-28 17:30:40 UTC  

why would you want a thumb trigger?
