@andromedarr that extended part you speak of is there as a delay for the return of the TP... probably to ensure that a BB has enough time to chamber itself. In slow-mo it doesn't seem all that critical...but in FULL-AUTO in real time there's a slight chance that a BB wouldn;t have enough time to chamber if you lessen the time the nozzle is "open".

no, the gears act as one, a tourque gearing, a high speed gearing, or standard gearing. a gear (i never remember the gears) the bottom one contact the "one way vaulve" of the anti reversal latch, this keeps the spring from prematurley going forward. the middle one is the realy gearing so to speak, but it dows that and conectst the powered gear to the springs gear and a ration unset. usally 1:11:1.3 or 1:1.5
well yes, but the other gears are there to help the "motor" turn the "sector" gear (main), has to do with gear ratios... and the other gears mesh with the anti-reverse lever... the motor alone cannot turn the sector gear...
The slight changes in the angles of the cutout aren't just for clearance... they are there to compensate for the relative location of the "tab" on the sector gear as it travels is circular path. it's this tab's x-axis travel which pulls back the tappet plate just enough to maintain a relatively stable/consistent x-axis position. :) that was a mouthful haha
@locry So the Tappet plate is still pulled back far enough after it got released by that mm? I have a sector chip, and a Semi GUn only...but the Response time is so damn fast that i am afraid that the nozzle hasnt chambered completly when the Piston is released, resulting in lower FPS or even BBs rolling out the barrel...
haha, the hop may not be turned up but that's not a mistake. :) watch the sector gear nub... the tappet doesn't make contact ALL the time... and notice the cylinderhead... there's no "hole". :)
I have a question: The Tappet Plate is pulled bacvk by the Sector Gear, and then it gets released by about a milimeter, it stays there, and then it disengages compleetly. Thats because the Tappet Plate's engagement-Plate for the Sector Gear has a cutout for the Gears Axle...atfer it gets released that milimeter, is it still pulled back far enough to feed a BB? Or could i cut of that lower Section, without compromising the TIme the TP is holded back?
electric motors by themselves dont have much torque, that is the reason why it needs a set of gears so the mechanical energy from the electric motor can move the spring , otherwise it will just dont do anything and fry the motor, probably your battery too

Very nice video definetly helps show the basic concept of how an airsoft gun works.
btw... the motor meshes with the gear farthest from the "main" gear... the beveled one
thanks bro! supposed to make a complete gearbox, haven't had time though...

nice explication, good work ! : )

nice animation great work

Galeng tlga sir Locry!
Very nice animation :D
awesome!
whats the point of all of the extra gears? dont you only need the one the pushes the spring back?
electric motors by themselves dont have much torque, that is the reason why it needs a set of gears so the mechanical energy from the electric motor can move the spring , otherwise it will just dont do anything and fry the motor, probably your battery too
There are 2 actually... animation and model-wise
and you're right about the BBs not making it all the way up... so make that 3 mistakes. hehe
i don't have a ver7 and an AEP gearbox. :)
i do have a ver3 but its basically the same.
it only seems that way coz of the frame rate... :)
This is pretty awesome. Did you make this in C4D?
3D Studio Max9 :)
3d studio max bro...
there's something wrong with the animation... can anyone spot it? :)
