Carbon Fiber Prototype...

[Trident]

Hey guys I have been working on a carbon fiber gun for the last few months and it is getting down to the wire. Don't be expecting some C4 knock off - this puppy is extreme and has a strong industrial feel!

This is the prototype for the next bigger version 120cm! Once I get all the kinks out of this one...:blackeye

I will post up some pics tonight but here are some specs...
- 90 cm length
- Neptonic Trigger
- Neptonic Handle (modified)
- 4 layer Carbon box beam construction
- Open muzzle with integrated guide rods
- integrated release
- Snubber (Netonic)
- Linen Mycarta stocks
- Aluminum custom muzzle (w optional power head)
- 2/3 band capable

Here are some photos! I still need to finish the stocks, put the runner in place and trim up all the alum. Then it is out to the water for some ballast tests! Can't wait.

Looks Great! Your really doing a nice job on the gun as well as exploring some cutting edge designs

Thanx Split!

I just got my bands cut and laced up, now I am just waiting for my runner (custom carbonfiber) to come in. Then POW!

I am building this one as a prototype cause they are gonna get bigger in the next couple of months (110 -140ish).

I will post up some pics next week when I get a few more parts sorted out.

Interesting design, what is the blue rubber thing?

It is called a snubber and is used to attach to the line then on to the float line. So if your fishey is too big it is attached right to the float and you don't loose your gun!

Really helpful in situations like Tuna or Moby Dick...:blackeye
