If you find the videos entertaining please vote with your fingers that way the companies that supply the models get their merchandise in the public eye, they sell more units and we get asked to produce more videos, and you guys get to view them.
Some video of a 12gauge firing device that we designed for Armortek a few years back, it has a drum magazine and is chambered to fire 12g black powder short carts, this was a bugger to get the legal aspects sorted but sorted they were and hundreds of the units are now sold world wide, Phil for magpiespyro

I just realised these are your video's Phil! I am still cringing at the thought of spending so many hours building one of these things and then shooting them but it must be very good fun at the same time. I assume the drum fed firing system uses black powder blanks like ones used for alarm mines but do you need an shotgun certificate for them or did you manage to get over this?

[magpiespyro]

I must confess I do enjoy what we do with them, the BP carts can be bought with no licence, some states in the States and some EU countries are a bit twitchy though, the reason It was designed for the messy BP carts is to keep the working pressure down but still have a good report with lots of ww2 propelant smoke effect ( the Germans used lead string I think to reduce this ) although the unit was proofed with a x3 nitro load just to "prove" the robustness of the unit and its components, we recomend that only BP carts are used, the guys that purchase the device have to sign a legal agreement with Armortek before they can buy

I understand your forum name now

Do you have a website? I am always curious about the mechanics of such systems being a very amateur engineer that shoots as well.

[magpiespyro]

Na no site attracts to much of the wrong kind of attention! This was interesting there were some pretty big bans involved in this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYAHzPqQ ... detailpage

How do you edit the post guys?

[Christel]

You should have a button to the bottom right hand side of the post that says EDIT.
You have it for 15 mins after posting and then after that you cannot edit anymore.

Hope that makes sense.

[magpiespyro]

Oh yeah many thanks Christel
