I was thinking of making a kind of Airsoft turret. No pyrotechnics will be involved.
That is a picture from the turret or AutoSentry device found in quake. There are levels for upgrading it, but of course mine won't do that. It will look like the top 3D view, with the two front and side views on the bottom right. I will also be adding different items to it, one being a laser unit on the top/middle part of the turret and also two motion sensor devices (one on each side).
My plans for it will be composed of a turret. 2 cannons and 2 gatling guns mounted to a tripod. They will be tripped by a motion sensor. For the Gatling gun's mechanism will either be for each to be spring loaded or (if that turns out to be to hard though) my CYMA G36c's will fit the job (From 30 ft, they are accurate, but don't hurt enough to get pissed). If you get "lit up" this wouldn't pose a problem because of their low punch and velocity. What it would do is first fire off the M203 shells (165rnd gas BB grenades). Then if the target was still in the line of the motion sensor, I was going to put a timer of 10 seconds to shoot the 12 spring loaded gatling gun barrels while the barrels spin.
Also I was thinking that Munin's (off of MiA) Dunking pool idea was kind of cool, I was thinking a similar thing, but I have no idea how that would work, since the motion sensor would trip the guns, that unless the target cut the power to the motion sensor. Also unless you ahve an AEG, I doubt that it would knock the target back hard enough to cut the power. Thus resulting in Machine vs human: "I got it out, but it kept shooting me!!".
The turret will have 2 seperate types of weaponry devices. The first type is the Cannons on the top. Those will use grenade shells. Like from the CAW or Mosquito Molds Mini Launcher. The second type is the kind of Gattling gun. It will feature 6 barrels and will work just luike one. With the barrels being spun around and the top one at the time shoots the BBs.
So you want... what? The top barrels fire each time the turret does and then rotate to recock for next time? Or they do one complete rotation and then have to be reset? For that, yeah, I'd get twelve springers and rig a cam to trigger them as they became centered, then rig a battery and motor to spin them.
Well they wouldn't be AEG's. I wouldn't want that for anyone, let alone maybe me or a teammate. This thing will be most likely ment for a type of CQB environment. So, I am looking more towards the CYMA G36c's in my closet as possible weapon models for the bottom weapons. They shoot far, but don't pack much of a punch. Which would be ideal for the bottom weapons.
The six barrels would rotate around (It will be modeled off of a Gatling Gun or an attack helicopter's mini gun). The top barrel would fire the BB's so it be just for an awesome look more then 12 barrels firing at once.
So far I have the floor plan for this turret. Only items I have so far is the PVC Piping that will become the barrels for the guns, the G36cs that will become the gattling guns, and the tripod. Other then that I have to research how the rest will be built. Anyone have any cheap methogs of making the body that will attach to the tripod, and house the weapons (Aluminum, scrap metal, ect?). Although I want this thing to be water proof (So if it rains I won't ahve to race to go get it and risk getting out).
It's a big project, because I have everything both thought out in my head and on paper.
