Eureka!. A simple device, to load your air gun.

[Geoff]

Hi, just to let you all know, that I've found a simple, "SAFE" way to load your air gun.You won't believe how easy, & virtually "effortless", it is!. The part,s are readily available "off the shelf", & cost penny,s, & you don't have to be a "Rocket scientist" to make it, either. Now, I Know that most of you can load your gun OK, but if (like me) you have a very long one (I wished) stop it!, get serious Geoff....Sorry about that, as I was saying, if you have a long gun, there,s alway,s the danger of "Bending" the shaft, I know, I "Bent" mine last night, (The standard shaft that come,s with an ASSO, is, well, how can I put it?,... CRAP!).The beauty of this device, is, (A). It,s absolutely safe. (B). It,s Impossible to bend the shaft. (C). You can load with it as many time,s as you like, without your arm giving up. (D). You don't need to load on half power. (E). It can be used with "Mamba" type gun,s, still keeping the barrel, "Dry". (F). It,s very light, & not at all cumbersome.As soon as I have perfected the design, I will let you know, then, you can tell me what you think of it.Sound,s too good to be true?, just wait & see. PS. This is honestly my own idea, the principle, is used on tool,s, but I have never seen, or heard, of my application of it. Maybe, some one else "Has" thought of it, (Can't see why not, it,s so obvious) but I haven't "Nicked" their "idea".....You'll be amazed at this, try to "work out", what it is........Geoff.

 

[GreekDiver]

technique works fine with me. I load it effortlessly at high pressure.

 

[Geoff]

GreekDiver. What,s the lengh?, & how many BAR,s?.

 

[covert]

I get the idea he wants to patent the design first,,,,,,

 

[GreekDiver]

GreekDiver. What,s the lengh?, & how many BAR,s?.

115 asso with mamba kit. Fires a 7mm shaft and its loaded at 26 bar.

 

[SCUBAPRO]

I have a super sten and a mamba 115 I would love to have something that helps me load my guns quicker and easier

 

[Geoff]

Hi all, GreekDiver,....Rrespect!.
Covert, No, I just want to help you guy,s.
Scubapro, I have a 135, & this device load,s it easy. Although not as quick as the "Normal" method, it's an awfully lot easier!, & after 5 to 6 load,s, my arm doesn't tire one bit!. One slight inconvenience though, to use this, you have to unscrew the spear head, push the loader down the shaft, load, then remove & replace the head. I've designed a version that doesn't require one to do this, (my one) but with respect, it may be too difficult for the average person to make. Although completely safe, I may not post this design on this "open" site, as I don't want any problem,s if some one hurt,s them selve,s when using it. I will, however, be happy to explain it to any one who e-mail,s me. No charge. Won't be long before it's ready,......Geoff...PS: I see no reason why this device could'nt load a gun with 60, yes, 60 BAR, but I hav'nt one to test it on.I think the gun would "EXPLOAD!" anyway.Come on, try to work out what it is. Purly machanical, no batt,s, or gas.

 

[SCUBAPRO]

I cant figure it out I just want to see it:chatup:friday

 

[Geoff]

You'll kick your self when you see what it is, as I said before, the principle is used on numerous tool,s, you've probably got one in your own shed. With just a little work, you could quite easily make this your self. A clue, Carpenters use it, Plumbers use it, Tilers use it, Painters use it, Glazers use it, Builders use it, have I said enough?.

 

[Pastor]

An apprentice?

 

[foxfish]

An apprentice?

Now that was funny roflroflroflrofl
Seriously Geoff if you can help me load my mambas is the required smooth, one motion way then I will most definitely thank you

 

[Jonny250]

Pastor - that was very funny

OK I'll take the bait, gotta know what it is: I'm going to try and post a picture of what i think it could look like.. (I hope I've figured out the posting a picture thing..)

Do you think you coould build one of these foxfish?

 

[azapa]

An apprentice?

roflroflgood 'un!

Geoff: some kind of clamp, sash o bar cramp with threaded end?

To be honest, they don't make guns you can't load by hand, no one would buy them, so I can't see the need... but I love a bit of DIY, so post some pix, no one will blame you if they shoot their b..ls off. especially if you include that magical internet disclaimer...

PS: Jonny: cool drawings!

 

[foxfish]

Hey Jonny cool idea, if I had a 130 @60 atm I might just build one!

 

[Jonny250]

Come on Geoff, spill the beanz...
what's it all about??

 

[Geoff]

Hi all, well, good to see a bit of response, at last!. I used my new Asso today for the first time, a bit unwieldy, (because of the length,) but I'll sort that out. The thing is though, if I hadn't of used my new loader, I wouldn't have been able to load it, I tried, & I bent the spear shaft, again! This loader work,s like a DREAM, Only problem, is that it's too slow.I'm going to redesign it in the next couple of day,s, so you'll have to be a bit more patient. AZAPA, some kind of clamp? yes!. And the other thing you said, sound,s logical, but it's tiring, & even at 6ft with a decent reach, I find it very difficult. Fox Fish, this will load your "Mamba" but it's not a "smooth" continuous action, that doesn't matter though, for so as long as the spear doesn't move in the opposite direction to that of the loading one, the "seal", will still seal out water.
Jonny 250, sorry, no. Those diagrams are nothing like it!. It would still bend the spear anyway, & you would have to have some strength, to make the initial loading movement. Good effort though. Pastor, Come on!, tell us what you think it really is. PS: when I can get this photo thing to work, I 'll post a photo of my first prototype, to, "put you all out of your missery"....Geoff.

 

[Pastor]

I think I guessed it was a mastic gun when you came up with that list of trades but it sounds way too impractical so I can't be right. The apprentice sounds much more like a safe bet

 

[Jonny250]

OK Geof,
Would it be elbow grease or a glass hammer, standard trades stuff right?
I go with the ratchet and clamp idea aka mastik gun, grips, etc.... and I do even have some in the garage!

or maybe you could pressurise the gun after loading it? so the device could be a bicycle pump ;-)

Looking forward to seeing the proto.

 

[foxfish]

or maybe you could pressurise the gun after loading it? so the device could be a bicycle pump ;-)
Quite a funny thread!
Geoff what is the problem with posting pics?

 

[Geoff]

Pastor, CORRECT!, but just the mechanism. that,s the principle of it.
Jonny 250, "Pressurize the gun AFTER loading it"?, sorry, don't understand.

Incidentally, I've been talking to a guy in the Ukraine, he's very knowledgeable on Pneumatic/ Hydro pneumatic gun,s. He say,s, that the power control valve, (where fitted) decreases the efficiency, (because it, "throttles", the air) of any gun. & that the removal of it, would increase the, "speed", & thereby, the "power", of the shaft.This would, of course, make it "Extremely Difficult", to load, unless, of course, one used some type of loader, oh, how convenient!. PS: Foxfish, I don't know, it just wont do it!.
