ok, came up with the feeder mechanism, that is, upon certain conditions. i need a more elaborate switch for my trigger, im thinking a double pole single throw. anyway, the second circuit running through the trigger would be the feeder motor. this will work only if the motor does not get damaged by stalling. heres the basic operation. trigger pulls. fires the sprinkler valve. also, the gun recoils on its oscillating frame against the staionar frame, unjoining the front sprocket from the butt plate. at the same time, the motor will kick in on the other circuit. it will spin the feeder till it locks into place in the pins that are spring- held in the butt plate. it is then ready to be fired again, as soon as the pressure switch is ready. heres a couple pictires: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TQCFA4sXwJ5!AyrrpCktqu22BaCWIiVpRi9726WJaa4qjdAGAsf6BFVaC5HCvjKHpuZ5JD2gY*TepT75VNxGy0o*YfSwa5K0VFWZYYqWS26EA8K*BUmtUA/mini3auto-10.jpg?dc=4675421683578324176 trying to post actual pic also, heres another pic of just the cannon: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SgCFA7YWJ12MdP4!meI1t2ANL7Uz6A!4TxDRTzdZBtxGwUU!idRWdhTgWuQ!3vNf1AtPq3N2fl5aCiYWQD*RT1QtVRONip!pL1uHVwteiYz92s9ZMds4OA/chunker-5.jpg?dc=4675421683373411286 and trying again to post a pic of that one: anyway, oh, also, while looking at it, i remembered another thing... would adding a rubber boot around the back of the breech help to minimize side-released air? well, i can see that this gun will kinda work, but theres going to be a lot refinement needed! anway, lemmeknow your thoughts -Peter
