So I had this very interesting idea the other day that I could turn a ski pole into a gel blaster. Now the mag is easy enough, just a straight stacked thin mag. The hardest part is the hop up unit and rest of the firing mechanics. Does anyone have any suggestions for blasters that have small enough internals or just something I should do?
Wow, that’s outside the box.
Well, considering the difficulty we had finding a gel blaster gearbox that fit into an UZI shell, I’d say you’ve set your sights on a very difficult task. 
It’s definitely not a project I’d take on.
But as I always say… no guts, no glory. 
Have a crack at it. Hope you can prove me wrong.

All I could think of is the P90 system, inline gearbox, inline mag feed etc.
Might be worth checking out 
I somehow don’t think you’re gonna get any kind of gearbox into one of those
Only thing I can think of is using like APS shells
Kind of like the old powerheads from the '70s for shark defence?
Might be easier to drill a hole at either end and use it like a pygmy blowgun.
Hey… they take down big howler monkeys with those in the Amazon jungle.
kinda what I was thinking. I might have to end up making almost the whole thing from scratch.
Slightly thicker but My friend and I were almost able to do it with airsoft a year and half ago so I think I have a chance
Never say die, buddy.
Also nice to see another lateral thinking nutter in the group… I do like the weird projects.
I’m following this thread with baited breath…
Might be a bit before it’s done but right now we are looking at putting the gear box in the grip of the pole.
UPDATE-
- we are looking at putting the gear box in the grip.
- It does not seem super doable to completely conceal it but still going to do my best
- possible gear box contender for prototype v1. Not great performance but something of this size is what I am looking for.
Same gearbox I put in BME’s Uzi… you should check out the thread, might get an idea or two about trigger solutions from it. 
Weird trigger system on that MP9 gearbox… it was tricky to make it work in the Uzi shell, I don’t know how you’ll get it chooching in a ski stock grip.
But I’m keen to see you attempt it…
