I would recommend adding a stock to help with aiming. This way you can stabilize your Lego weapons better.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Not a bad idea, would probably make the handling significantly better

[@doctortwilight]

@@JamiesBrickJams you could also attempt at making a brace that grips your arm, though I think making a basic stock, even one made out purely Technic beams and connectors as a sort of wire stock, would be easier.

all 3 airtanks to one barrel would be insane😯

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I've actually tried 4 tanks on a single barrel! It's a little stronger, but a bit underwhelming as each tank is bottlenecked by their small outlets. But perhaps some modifications to the tanks would be worth messing with!

[@falkez1514]

​@@JamiesBrickJams yeeah the key is to maximize peak pressure and its duration on the chamber. We (or just you, for that matter lol) could do some calculations to make a super-strong sniper rifle haha!

[@polip3000]

Hello I have a question, how did you get the airtanks?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Hey, these ones are actually 3rd party - I bought on Amazon. It's pretty tough getting hands on the old Lego tanks unfortunately

[@Captain-Bricks]

Do you have a link to those little motors?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Sure: circuitcubes.com/

[@thebloxxer22]

An improvement you can make is some Teflon Tape on the Primary Air Tank (the reused bottle) to seal the threads on the cap better.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Not a bad idea, cheers!

[@svenlangstrom8927]

Small tip for the hose connection to the bottle, you can connect the hose to the t-junction then thread the hose through the hole instead of the juntcion first, thus getting a tighter seal. You'll need a slightly larger hole but it'll work better since you can use higher pressure

[@JamiesBrickJams]

That's a great tip, cheers for sharing man! 👌

[@svenlangstrom8927]

@@JamiesBrickJams No problem, another advantage is the higher pressure will give a tighter seal thus enabling even higher pressures. The highest I've dared is 9 bar so it should be plenty. Wouldn't recommend it for pneumatic engines though since it's a bit much for the pistons😅

[@Trex0Pol]

It's just amazing what you can do with just lego :D

[@JamiesBrickJams]

It's a truly fantastic system!

[@kevinstidham1036]

I would like to see if you could actually make something to automatically close the tubes or to just block airflow from going through the metal tubes instead of over and over, pulling that lever forward.

[@falkez1514]

petition: Long range sniper build

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Ooooh yeah, I like that

[@RedShift5]

Move the small tanks as close as possible to the barrels for maximum force

[@punchtrees3022]

12:00 bro shot in the hole of the piece😮

[@quinnobi42]

How many PSI are you charging those air tanks to? I would assume that the system is bottlenecked by small diameter tubing having low airflow, so a higher pressure would help without having to modify any parts. Though you could try drilling out the outlets of the tanks to a slightly larger diameter.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

You're totally right, that bottleneck is quite frustrating. I was only pumping this up to about 50 psi at most, but I like your idea of just pushing through the bottleneck with higher pressures. I think cola bottles can take quite a bit more pressure, so it might be worth creating better seals and pushing the pressure even higher!

[@quinnobi42]

@@JamiesBrickJams My understanding is that Cola bottles can take 60 psi safely and potentially up to 90 at the risk of them exploding. Or you can just look it up, I'm pretty sure other people have tested it.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Yeah I think it's around that neighbourhood. I remember being surprised when I looked it up - was much higher than I expected. Will see what I can do 😉

[@kartnerd231]

You should combine the divided 3 tubes into one=sniper

[@JuraRay]

where you get all of these parts?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

These are all parts from various Technic sets over the years

[@ЛуК_ТуК]

Now do it for a smaller caliber up to 4mm and increase the barrel length by 2 times. I recommend using 4mm nylon balls for this gun.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Good idea, would love to try with small projectiles like bbs!

[@ABean56]

Nice

[@nyananas20111]

btw, sometimes air or gasses can mess up the calculation of the cronograph (i heard) and also, what if you make it so its a break action? that you break it (fold it open) and put the bullets in that way (and maybe put a ring on the axles for schell ejection! and also that the bullets stay put while shooting )

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Ah interesting, I hadn't heard of gasses or air affecting the chrono. I love the idea of a break action lever too, cheers for the suggestion!

[@toilegaming1463]

We needs schematics... But we can also just see the way you built it. Anyway, epic video

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I reckon it should be pretty straightforward for anyone to replicate from my video here! Though I know there's still loads of room for improvements to it

[@techpriestmars6731]

A thought on accuracy: one of the main two ways, historically, that have been used to produce more accurate projectiles, has either been thru endusing a spin in the projectile, usually through rifling. Or, by using fins. Rifling takes Very precise machining, or 3d printing, and might not work well with LEGO products. So, I think your best best might be to use a Discarding Sabot type of projectile. By encasing the projectile in a casing that keeps it flush against the walls of the barrel, and putting fins on the projectile, you should be able to produce a far more accurate hit, without sacrificing power. I'd suggest giving it a look for V4!

[@Pythonister695]

Really nice! What if you took some concepts from other lego guns on yt such as magazines? Maybe you could even divert some air to create artificial recoil. Would be even cooler!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Ooh I love the idea of making a blowback system to provide some artificial recoil.. and maybe even reloading. Great suggestion, cheers!

[@ToastyGuy]

Lego beast titan

[@JamiesBrickJams]

[@lassebrustad]

you could try to add automatic reload, except the bullets, either battery powered, or doing it the fancy way with the air storage as a multi-purpose part 😁
