Im finally back after 2 whole months of building! Im sorry i havent posted in a while, but this was so fidgety and painstaking to make. As you can see, this is a bolt action rifle that I have created. I’ve had this idea for a while now, but what really inspired me to start to work on this was seeing SnoWFLakE0’s post a bolt action rifle, which I hadn’t seen before. I decided to make my own version and take on the challenge of building something mechanical in Simpleplanes.

How it works: Step 1: After loading in, push VTOL forward and wait for the bullet to fully move upward into the area that you can see. Once it has stopped moving, pull VTOL back to the middle not too fast but not too slow, and it should push the bullet into the chamber. If the shell gets stuck, or goitches out, push VTOL forward a little bit and try again to pull VTOL into the middle.

Step 2: Once the bullet is in the chamber without breaking, you can use Ag. 1 to shoot the bullet. Next you can push VTOL forward again, with the shell attached to the front of the bolt, to the farthest it can go back. Deactivate Ag. 1, then when the shell is fully pushed up, activate Ag. 2 to eject the shell. If it gets stuck for who knows why, just restart.

Step 3: Activate Ag. 3 to move the next shell into the area you can see. (These jext steps are basically repeats of steps 1 and 2, but I will go through them anyway) so once the bullet is fully into the area you fan see it with VTOL fully forward, slowly but not too slowly pull VTOL back to the middle to push the new shell into the chamber.

Step 4: Use Ag. 4 to shoot he bullet once it is fully into the chamber without breaking or glitching. Activating Ag. 4 should also activate a new magnet that attaches to the shell. Push VTOL forward, once again, and deactivate Ag. 4 once fully forward. Wait again for the platform to push the shell up all the way, and activate Ag. 5 to eject the shell. If it doesnt eject and gets stuck, it doesnt matter cause in real life it cause in real life just pull it out with your fingers. I mean you can’t get any simpler with that.

I’m sorry if it gets stuck or breaks or glitches. That will mainly be because Simpleplanes part-to-part physics need improvement. Just restart if anything goes wrong.

But anyways, I have posted a video for better instruction, and easier use. It is a step-by-step demonstration by me on how to use this. I hope it helps.

If you read this far, you will probably try it out, because usually people don’t read ok instructions and don’t even try it out. That would be plain rude.

Thanks for reading and hopefully trying it out. See ya next time!
