Opposable Thumbs: The craziest modded-out laser tag gun you’ll see this year
This is one cool toy! Not airsoft but looks like the concept could be modified to work with an airsoft gun. Thanks go to Steve for the link!

Adaptable, yes. But at 3000 psi I’m not sure how soft that air would be…
“Dude! Your forehead is like totally dished in! Cool! Uh, dude????”
If you happened to be retreating and got hit by a medium-low shot, the results could be even worse…
“Mongo! Why are you walking so funny?”
Reply, in a strained, squeaky voice: “Just shut up! And tell me who has that damn grenade launcher!”
LOL!
Well that’s why we have the rules of engadgement that limit the distance you can shoot someone with a particular weapon. And if you DO break the rules then the firing squad may be called… 😉
The pressure is gonna make it go but the size of the line leading to the valve and most importantly the valve its self are the biggest limiting factors. Also the way this sucker looks like it works is by pressurizing the inside of the projectile. That is gonna limit the energy a LOT more than trying to fire a barrel type air weapon at those pressures. The most any of the ones we have played with here were fired at was 130 psi, but that wasn’t AT anyone, just a target, or for distance with no one downrange. 😉 The most we charged anything tested by firing at a human target was 50 psi and that was at 50 feet. Anyway don’t think the pvc barrels would hold up to 3000 psi! Suspect they use a microsecond burst to launch these.
I am gonna try something along these lines just to see how the inner chamber firing works. It may be a lot better than what we have been trying to do. The pressure isn’t a problem either. Mehel has scuba equipment and a couple (i think) of old tanks he has been using to charge stuff in the field via a double stage regulator or some such. A tank will do a LOT of low pressure recharges at 3000 psi!
Yes, I imagine a 3000 psi scuba tank WILL do a FEW recharges at 50 psi, into much smaller containers at that….he must have a GOOD compressor to fill that thing…but I guess that is a prerequisite for a scuba diver…
I think he uses a dive shop to refill. Not sure what they charge for a recharge. Either two or three stage compressors I suspect.
Come to think about it we have several multi stage compressors for these old steam cleaners. I think they are 3 to 5000 psi compressors. Wonder how they would do with air?
Got a smaller one (1500 psi I think) that I took out of the unit we converted into the smelter. Which reminds me that I need to reline it and start with the aluminum melting too… Anyway I may just try hooking a motor to that one and see if it will do air or if it requires the liquid for lubrication. Guess I can google it. (now the google police will be after me for misuse of their name…)
