Logic Bow
FROM NOW ON I WILL NOT BE REPLYING TO QUESTIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY ANSWERED BY THE VIDEO OR THE WRITING BELOW, EXCEPT TO SAY "READ THE TOPIC AND WATCH THE VIDEO"
UPDATE: The concept behind The Logic Bow (put simply so everyone can understand)
By using a ratchet system to hold the bands behind the pin you can:
@ Decrease pin friction in barrel
@ Increase pullback distance
@ Increase power
@ Make the pin easier to pullback
@ Have a simple rail system
I have now uploaded a clip of the firing system in action for those of you who don't understand how it works
UPDATE: HOW IT WORKS
This is a pin type gun, not a slingshot. It uses a ratchet system to hold the rubber bands, therefore increasing the amount of bands that can be used and increasing ease of pullback. These bands are released when the trigger is pulled, propelling the pin into the bullet. This means that the effective pullback distance is increased, therefore increasing the range and power.
well here is the first "new thing" I have done in ages, (the last Truly innovative thing I built was the D-Frag grenade) the Logic Bow. It uses an all new 4-stage firing system that runs between two rails (I tried using a dual rail system but that didn't work out). So far I have the mech working, but it needs the rest of the body, the bow, a handle and probably a stock. It is a single shot that should have more power than a pin gun, the really cool thing about it is that although it uses a pin mech the pin takes almost no effort to slide back.
I will keep you updated as the project progresses, Feel free to ask any questions.
Update: I finished the entire gun and uploaded a couple of pics (see below)
This will soon be posted.

If so, I'll make it a couple sections longer. =)
Tell me DJ have you ever managed to get 5 64's on you sr commando?
if so how easy was the pin to pull back.
When you tick me off that bad, I don't care about your human rights. Use the spellcheck by the way.
I always knew I had a comedic factor... ITS OVER 9-FRICKIN-THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"but they are not true ram guns"
How are they not ram guns?
WELL LOOK AT THE CLIP ANYWAY.
And in case you didn't realize it, it's an Oodammo mag.
yes I know that. I am uploading the clip of the firing system now
Prove it.
This means you get increased power from the same amount of bands.
Happy?
Easy to pull back.
I had a flipmag. Had 7 bands on it.
Easier to pull back than the TR.
There's only one set pullback on both guns I mentioned, idunno what you mean by shorter pullback
W/E, I am not little, I'm like 5'9
Aha, so you admitted it
Nope.
Are you asking me to answer the question you asked Razzlekunai?
In that case,
1. Already answered that. Quality bands.
2. It's a very long draw. Just go make a MeZak, it doesn't use many pieces or anything...
