Had an hour an a half (or so) to kill, drew this up in CAD

[skibbo]

Was a little bored today so I took about an hour and a half and came up with this:
I call it Weapon X (after Deadpool if you're a Marvel fan)
Really simple body design, would be a spool, no details like eyes or screws or anything though. Front part near the reg needs work to slim it down, she's a little husky up front.
Just figured I'd post.

Tip to tail she's right at 7 inches, total height about 2.5 inches. No idea if any drive train would work with it, just thought I'd take a little time to do some body design on something interesting.

With the red/black Deadpool coloring:

what software you use?

[skibbo]

I'm using Autodesk Inventor. I have the student version so the serial doesn't run out. I lost my access to Solidworks when I graduated.

hmmm, that is interesting. i almost could use that. what is the interior dimensions?

[new ion?]

Thought I recognized it! I do the same thing. I'm sure I could get Solidworks thru my school somehow.. but since inventor is free already...

I just picked some numbers. Main bore's .7 with an A/C threaded breach. Any dimensions that are critical? I could see if they'd work.

I could always use the basic idea and actually design something that'd work too.

.7 is pretty much the size of the breech bore. Not too many valve designs/guns all fit in that small a bore. The Aedes is one that comes to mind that does/did.

But the Aedes was 2 bore stacked tube...

[PBSteve]

That marker Colin had on display a year or two ago probably would. I wouldn't be surprised if the guts were an evolution of the aedes.

Like I said, bore was more of an afterthought. Just figured I'd see if I could make a good looking body and go from there.
