Your idea is neat but I don't think you'll find alot of people interested in owning a big mofo of a marker like the one you're proposing. It might be useful for scenerio play (I've never played scenerio so I wouldn't know), but that's about it. As for design, I think anytime you have a feeding system that forces the paintballs, you're gonna have lots of kinks to work out. Pinching the paintballs as they're fed is probably one of the more important issues you'll have to address. Firing at 15+ bps is something else entirely. There's already markers that can shoot at 15+ bps (eg, angel, mag, etc) but to design one entirely seems like alot of work. Alot of R&D has gone into developing those 15+ bps markers. In any case, good luck with your project.
