3D printed Blaster faster than the REAL Minigun??

[@neonuva2767]

I would love to see explanations of all the technical complications! I can think of a couple, like the barrel length, feeding and decoupling the belt, and also having an actuator that can run that fast. But I would love an in-depth explanation of those and any other hidden things I couldn't think of!

[@shalafi4]

I'm an engineering nerd. I'd be thrilled with a full video of all the little gritty details. One of the side projects I had for a while was working on a gatling that would feed mega darts

[@williamjacques3561]

Yeah, well the reason is that i think he plan on sellig it, and well... Showing people how it works will just end up with knock-offs

[@HuskyMachining]

​@@williamjacques3561I hope he eventually sells thr plans. I would buys the plans so I could build a fun project but I wouldn't but a finished gun

[@viperbuzzard01h84]

i had the same idea except with normal nerf darts, great minds think alike lol. what kind of feed system are you going to go with? magazines, hoppers, or belt fed?

[@Katvanished]

please do

[@stevecrafter518]

i absolutely agree

[@Jiroo1210]

I liked that the bullets are shot so fast that the rotating "long" barrels effected the trajectory. Your smile and laughter after each shots make me smile. Geat content!

[@gyrosoftalt]

Amazing work! And terrifying to know 101's not the limit...

[@Scott.E.H]

I know that picking stuff up is kind of the spirit of nerf, but I think it would be really neat to have a system that can take the empty "rounds" and feed them back into the ammo box, like the GAU-8 does. That would get rid of all the mess of the links.

[@Sk00byDoo]

I think half of the fun is the giant mess in the end.

[@Boredability]

One time I saw a broom, it was made to collect nerf darts and put them in a container. It has like a spinny and grippy thing on the bottom that grabs the darts. Never got it, but it is probably amazing to have

[@pedrobettt]

@@Boredability I believe those are commonly used at ping-pong rental places too. it's really good at picking up small, light objects.

[@space_designs]

Man, this is insane, 5 years ago this wasn't even possible in the wildest of dreams

[@PointBlank65]

It's amazing how fast home 3d printing has advanced , and allowed stuff like this to advance with it

[@gatlingtommy]

I am also surprised how rigid 3d printed parts can be, but it cost me a lot of optimization loops to get there…

[@IM2awsme]

​@@gatlingtommyare you going to release or sell the files?

Gotta love it when the shell ejecting mechanism has recoil.

[@FoamFlingingHS]

"And it was JUST 75 darts per second" You're saying that like it's slow, love it. Love this blaster.

[@gatlingtommy]

haha, you are right, JUST 75 ^^

[@jonashaertl]

in the end when the gun is shooting 400 darts in 4,25s, then its not 101 per second, its 94,12. or did i missunderstood something? in my opinion its still P2 behind the M134

That laugh after you fired off the first full backpack of ammo at high speed successfully was priceless. The "child" is still in you for sure. Great to see!

[@3DprintedLife]

This is absolutely ridiculous, congrats on breaking the 100 dart/s barrier! Guess I'll just have to race you to 200/s :D

[@gatlingtommy]

Thank you! You really got me sweating with your last video… 200 I think I cannot reach, so go for it!

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

​@@gatlingtommyOn paper, seems possible, since you're only running @ 48% 😊 I agree, though, and 125, then 150, ate more reasonable goals! 😅

[@sunrisejackdaw1779]

@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE damage darts with enough speed darts may squib in the barrel if rotational force is high enough maybe?

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

@@sunrisejackdaw1779 Quite possible... I wonder if printing data with that highly flexible filament would work... Still soft, but I think they'd have more strength. However, a potential issue then might be the friction... Might have to toss those new data into a talcum bath to make them move through the system and down the barrel. I also don't know if their additional weight would cause feed issues... 🤷‍♂️

[@shiftyjesusfish]

The demo clip at 1:16 made me smile. After hearing you say "in the blink of an eye 10 darts leave the gun" i blinked and your whole hallway was covered in darts and linkages instantaneously

[@furrygamerstudios8862]

This project just keeps getting more and more incredible! Would love a video on all the nitty gritty steps leading up to this final achievement!

[@danpeel6411]

This MOAB you have built is incredible! Just thinking out loud, in regards to having to make the barrels shorter so the darts can leave in time, have you considered making a half length dart version? Looking at the hobby, half length darts seem to be the future of the hobby, the half length darts are more aerodynamic, accurate etc…

[@plattysnerfshop2160]

Wow, an impressive achievement to be faster than a real minigun. Great testimony to your hard work and great design. More videos with tech details and problem solving would be fascinating.

[@MmMerrifield]

Now do realize that the 100 rounds per second isn't the "maximum" for the mini gun, it's the limit set in place to ensure reliability.

[@Verysma11rocks]

I'd love an in-depth explanation of the design process, this is amazing!!!

[@danwood1121]

[@Elephant454]

I'm having daydreams of learning how to design blasters at some point, and not only would I be interested in nitty gritty details, I could watch a ten hours worth of documentary on the design and implementation of this beauty. Wonderful and awe inspiring work. :) Also, will there ever be files or instructions released such that we can build our own?

[@gatlingtommy]

Haha, 10 hours could surely be filled, but only if I show all internals and the reasons for the current design. But this would also make it easy for copy cats to reengineer my blaster… 🤷‍♂️

[@Rollypolly1064]

This guy is so incredibly underrated it’s unbelievable.. like how doesn’t he have at least minimum 1 million subscribers by now 🤨

[@williamjacques3561]

Quick idea for higher rps/dsp: maybe adding a fix ramp for the plungers or the plunger spring to ride on at higher firerate, might also increasse muzzle velocity

[@atlas4733]

I love that the article had to say “the fastest firing gun in service” because of the metal storm lol. Absolutely stunning achievement on your part and I would love to see a long-form dissection video :)

[@Drachenhebron]

Oh right i had forgotten about it XD yea, it kinda cheats using mass parallel, but even its single barrel speed although limited to a few bullets cant really be beaten

[@CreEpeRneSs125]

[@prydwne541]

Is it right to say that the main factor that is preventing you from further increasing the rate of fire for now is more so the bullet not clearing the barrel in time than the internal component’s ability to withstand the forces at a higher rps?

There are plenty of people that love knowing all the details of how a thing works. One of the best parts of KZbin is getting intimate details about the build process, mechanics and problem solving done to build. I loved the build, but love more details. What’s the inner chamber look like, how did you properly solve the jamming issue, did you use a rasp pi, or Arduino, How many rotations does the chamber do in 1 sec? There are a ton of interesting engineering questions here. My favorite question so far is how do you get that firing rate without everything that’s 3D printing melt because of friction?
