I agree, this is not safe but it is not that hard to make it a lot safer. I build airsoft rifles, mgs and smgs for myself and my kids and this is one of my favorite ways to make the cheaper airsoft guns although I use either metal or sealed high-grade 3d printed engineering resin for the bb housing which makes it more durable and safer to use with pressurized air. The metal cylindrical housings are the most effective ones however the 3d printed ones allow me to shape them perfectly to fit the design of the gun I'm building. You can use comfort and style-oriented 3d printed parts to create a chassis for the gun mechanism and it will start to look really cool. Right now I am working on 2 guns using this type of firing mechanism, one is based on the pp-19 Bizon submachine gun where I use the same metal cylinder mag as the real-life version which is basically a metal cylinder with a hole in the back for air input hose which connects to the trigger which is behind the mag and then using the same type of trigger as you it simply attaches to a lightweight 12v compressor I mount on my hip. I simply need to do some assembly testing and then go 3d model the pp-19 Bizon chassis and stock to house my components in. The second and more exciting gun I'm working on is a browning machine gun. It uses a high quality 5/16 x 20-inch steel rod as a barrel and can use either a large metal back strapped tank to holds BBs (which gets pretty heavy but also allows you to go fully machine gun on them) where the gas normal gas input has the trigger air line connected (which is connected to the 12v compressor which is hip mounted again.) The middle of the air tank needs a drilled hole that then houses a connector that can move both BBs and air at the same time to be fed into the barrel after going through a very short slightly curved rugged but flexible air pipe which connects the tank to the barrel. The barrel is cased on the outside by either a larger aluminum pipe with round heat reduction holes similar to the ones found on real m2 Brownings or a PVC pipe that does the same. The larger pipe whether it be PVC or aluminum has a handle connected to the top which consists of two aluminum bars holding a PVC or aluminum pipe (PVC is low budget, aluminum is a slightly higher budget build.) Together the bars and pipes (which are attached on the bottom to two of the barrel holes perfectly opposite to each other, the PVC ones have simple rods going through them to block them from coming out of the hole however the aluminum handle is tig welded onto the outer barrel) make the iconic but simple m2 Browning handle that gives a good grip after I use a heat gun to burn on a layer of elastic rubber to make it a comfortable grip. The trigger which is connected by the first pipe to the tank and the compressor can either be mounted to the back of the gun facing up vertically for a stable trigger or be allowed to stay mobile without attaching it to the barrel which might allow more freedom but is also quite dangerous as it has two pipe attached and would move if not mounted. I'm thinking of working on some dual barreled or tri-barreled m2 brownings but those take even more work to make. I might even put the browning up as a commission gun if somebody was willing to pay a fair wage for all that work.
You're laughing about yourself alot but I do see some potential in this design. It's quite ingenious actually. And this post-apoc/sreampunk look could actually sell... How about a rotating mag that would give a 20 x 10 rounds burst ? Just saying.
Would be cool to see one of these except replace the bb container with a sch 40 pipe with caps. Good enough for a 12 ga slamfire; good enough for a BB gun 😂
I am trying to see if I can make a full auto or multifile spring firing rifle. A stupid idea I know, but I'm just wondering if maybe I can make one cock 30 shot spring powered rifle, semi-auto would be preferred actually.
