We need to make this... Brutus Rotary Mag fed pistol!

Maybe for the 12 gram and related lets find a standard one, like for a Phantom, and make it fit in the grip?

A fully contained 12 gram changer seems like a smart move.

I just figured reusing the TPX 12 gram components would be fine. The cap and body insert would work great in a grip.

So here's the 12 gram assembly


For a size comparison, I inserted an Empire/Invert Mini frame.

Put an 86 on it

Doesn't quite fit, but I think that this style of frame is what should be used since it's close to the original artist's design.

Make it fit. Lol

So, given the parts as setup, if we planned on a printed body for it, is there any machined parts we might need besides the breech?

The reg body needs 2 new holes and have existing ones tapped for plugs.

Let the trigger mechanism and 12 gram dictate the frame style. Put the trigger, sear and 12 gram in place and draw a frame to fit that.

The cosmetics will come later.

The original Brutus picture is not popping up for me: Anybody have a copy?

On the connection for the 12gram, do we need a setup that secures the bottom to... anything? Is the 12 gram in a sealed chamber in the TPX? Just see that as a possible stress point.

Edit: Puncture Valve Pin? On the TiPX, as I see it (don't have one here with me) the 12 gram is put in the gun, seals against the face, then the trigger when pulled pierces the 12 gram.

In the arrangement shown, if I am correct (doubt I am, but...) there is no way to pierce the 12 gram?

Right. I'm not really worried about the frame or anything else right now. I inserted the frames to get a sense of scale and to see what style of frame would look the nicest/work the best.

The bottom would be secured like it is now. Ther's 4 protrusions on either side of the metal insert that go into 4 holes on the insert to hold it in place. On the TPX the 12 gram is not in a sealed chamber. It's pushed against the pierce pin mechanism by the cap which has a set screw for adjustability.


Here's the original picture:




I did a quick rendering of the parts (besides the body, trigger and trigger linkage.
