Subject: Even if you could lengthen it enough....

Just imagine though... I don't have the kind of money to feed a full-auto blowback....even if you could get the cylce rate down to 20cps, that's 1200 rounds per minute....faster than most military machine guns....you could figure out what the max. reliable rate of a warp feed is (I bet with a little tweaking, you could get a bigger mtor on it as well), and design the gun around those specs...I bet someone like Ken could do it fairly easily, given the right measurements...

A marker like that would be a friggin buzzsaw...great for cutting down players on the run... short controlled bursts and a huge X-chamber (funtioning just like a normal HVC) would keep velocity in the ballpark. Another trick you could do with greater travel in the bolt, is make a sloping feed path....much like what you find in clip fed weapons like the M16 or Glock...the bolt pushes the paintball forward, and the top of the chamber slopes, so that as the ball is pushed forward, it is forced down, into the chamber ready to fire instead of being chopped by the fast-moving bolt....that would allow feed rates to increase without ending up with a blender.
