I’ll rock up, with coil sprung m4…
Every shots a 420 fps bruiser…!!
“Oh, your 16 shot mag is empty?.??
I’ve got 200 more, ready to go…!!”
Thats alright, my brother will cover me with his minimi while I reload 
I feel like there’s better ways to have the mag powered than an audio sensor…

You might have seen this already. Someone asked him how it was powered.
The answer - The adapter activates as you pump the grip, and loads gels in.
Well he said it was a “sound sensor” in that doc you posted earlier so I assume it triggers from the sound of the pump being racked back.
Unless he’s changed it since.
Just a small addition
Simple little muzzle, uses an o-ring to friction fit inside outer barrel, doesn’t interfere with gels, I might be imagining it but it seemed like it changed the sound a bit too.
Got a Duckbill one to print too.
Duckbill done, just based it on a plain real steel one.

Wonder if old mates had any progress on his fancy sound activated mag adaptor?
Haven’t really done much with my own efforts thou, but do have a number of ideas on how to do it, skill willing.
I don’t know either. Good idea.
Did an awesome job on the nade pouches. Thanks for sharing that process, very impressive 
A couple of questions…
1: What’s the latest, on mag development on these.?
Any progress, on non-teabag mags.?
2: Leakage: any problems, so far.?
My Hicks shottie is still fine, but…
The RE one has had a bit of a leak, from the front.
Fill it all the way up, and you can hear it leaking from the front barrel.
It will dump all the gas , over a few minutes.
I put some maintainece gas through it, and it seems to hold…for now.
Overnight Gas hold, and firing the next morning…
A bit concerning, from a new blaster… i know its all down to o-rings, but my other one is fine.
Anyone else had any issues, with leaks.??
Leaks you can hear through the barrel usually mean a faulty striker valve. Might be worth checking that.
Taking the valves out and soaking fhem in silicone gun oil for a whilesometimes helps bring the o rings back into functionality again.
Mine leaked at the rear after a bit of use, tightened the grip screw and it stopped it. Seemed it comes a little loose over time through use I guess.
Otherwise it has always held gas.
As @Friendly_Fire says, likely a striker/input valve.
Most likely just needs a slight torque up or an o-ring but I’ve not any clue how to go about it.
As for mags, Tang at Armoured Heaven made a M4 mag adaptor that works.
$250 for a 3D printed adaptor is very steep imo, if they were metal or injection moulded maybe that could justify it.
I can’t imagine they’d use anything but PLA and on modern printers you could pump out about 4 at a time in a few hours, I also feel there are other more reliable methods of signaling the mag to run than a sound sensor that would also be cheaper.
But I’m saying all that I haven’t made any progress on mine with moving etc.
Can’t say I’ve noticed any leaks in mine last I handled it, but it’s in storage ATM.

Given it likely is PLA, quite steep. But PLA prints easier and faster, and looks nicer than PETG so that is probably why, and I am sure the electronics are not expensive.
Yes I agree. TBH I think a slightly larger mag, with a spring feed would be fine. If it could hold close to 50 gels and work that give 8 shots with 6 gels, and that would keep me happy.
I too never really got time to look into printing a mag, maybe one day.

I was experimenting with spring mags for them too before I had to shelf it, pretty much using a spring from a GBB mag but I got some spring steel to make my own for longer springs.
I had some ideas I want to try but again everything is shelved until I get my own place 
PLA is fine cosmetic stuff but for something like this stronger material would be best and you can get some good prints out of PETG these days. You bump the mag on something the wrong way and something is going to break.
Using PLA for blaster parts in Queensland seems…short sighted.
When I got my new Wesker kit, I asked it to be printed in PETG.
I’ve had an item get warped, in transit before.
It was very rough finish, but sandable.
And , more likely to last over time.
If they make those to suit, I’d be asking for a stronger material….
You’d think that would be good business sense, from the person making it…
It would pay to get a good reputation…
But we’ve seen how quickly that can turn around unfortunately.
But agreed.
When I was making those grenade holders for Jug I was using PETG for this reason, but did find it was too stiff, it needed to have a little flex in it, but PETG isn’t great for that so I ended up using a new type of PLA from Bambu that has similar thermal properties to ABS, better layer adhesion but still prints like PLA and as far as I’ve seen they’ve been working perfectly.
