Reloadable Spring Gun and Reloading Ramp
Here is a concept design for a reloadable spring “gun” that can shoot balls a short distance. It’s reloaded using a ramp contraption that safety delivers the balls into the chamber. It’s a bit complicated to use at first, instructions below:1. AG1 + VTOL up to compress spring 2. Roll R gently to lift ball into chamber 3. Trim up to release spring/shoot ball4. VTOL middle to move piston back5. Trim middle to move piston down 6. VTOL up to compress spring again, AG1 off7. VTOL middle 8. AG2 on, VTOL up slightly to move next ball through “windmill”. AG2 off9. Thrust to release hatch and allow ball to roll into chamber 10. Trim up to release ball/shoot ballTurn AG1 on and repeat steps 4-7 to reset spring and get ready for next ball. After shooting 2nd ball, you will need to move trim down briefly to allow the next ball to move forward into the “windmill”. After ball is moved forward, repeat steps 8-10. It’s slightly complicated at first but you’ll get the pattern down after a few attempts. If a ball gets stuck right before the chamber, just roll R to move ball into chamber. Would love advice on how to make this more powerful.
