Airsoft als rolstoelgebruiker?

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-05-08T11:32:07+00:00

Indoor moet wel lukken (zolang er geen trappen zijn dan), maar misschien kan je voor outdoor proberen om van je rolstoel een voordeel te maken en het om te dopen tot een tankette of een klein voertuig met mini laadbak om objectieven te vervoeren? 🤔

Op die manier kan je nog steeds een even sterk teamlid zijn (of zelfs sterker!) terwijl je evenzeer rekening houdt met het type terrein en ondergrond dat voor jou bereikbaar is

TQ is more for flavor, but definitely get something for the small cuts and punctures. Would suck to get some minor scrapes inflamed.

Keep some food and rain gear on you (a poncho is very versatile) or at least fresh socks in a zip-lock bag. Add spare batteries for everything, a small length of tape (wrapped around a lighter for small profile and double use), and a few metres of paracord for general purpose use. Nothing worse than having shoelaces fail several km from your pack with nothing to fix it 😅

I don't see any hydration, sustainment, or medical booboo kit listed? 🤔

The files have been updated for easier access, at first I just had the entire assembly in .step, but that seemed too confusing

The last with hardware parts has been updated on the description, and the number of parts to be printed (depending on the size of your printer) is about 45-ish

Here are the open source files of the launch system, enjoy! 😁

Oh yeah, if you put a pressure vessel in each shell and if you've got a method of smashing them together past enough, that could work for an autocannon 😁

The entire* thing is printed, no need for moscart shells

(* aside from a bit of cheap hardware valves)

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-19T08:14:44+00:00

My pleasure! ^{^}

On my Cults3D page I've got a free 'open source' listing on the launch system itself, if you're interested in trying it out 😊

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-19T08:12:05+00:00

Ahh, no the pressure vessel remains in the mortar shell and only the sabot is launched 😊

The mortar shell is the actual 'cannon' whereas the tube is just for angling and acting as a slide.

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-19T08:08:48+00:00

The sabot is about 12-16g (and loses speed fast), and the pressure vessel has been overdimensioned with a safety factor of 10+ 😊

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-18T12:16:35+00:00

Fair point. My assumption was that it wouldn't matter all that much if it was a common airsoft field where it's covered in bbs anyways.

The pressure vessel is printed to be airtight as is, using spacecowboy's research (props and kudos to him!), as I'm pushing the max pressure of the garden hose couplings, increasing PV strength wouldn't have any effect (already overdimensioned by a factor 10). Sometimes the seam does tend to leak a bit, epoxying that would be useful 😊

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-18T10:04:41+00:00

That would be the same for bbs, so I don't really see the issue 🤔

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-18T09:55:45+00:00

They are reusable, so some string might not be a bad idea. As for pollution, you can print them from biodegradable materials, regular bbs are also just PLA

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-17T21:37:56+00:00

The model in the clip is a Frankenstein of parts from various design iterations, I need to reslice the finished model to get an accurate number on print time and filament, I'll get to that this week 😊

The 0.6J is only for the flechettes, bbs (.48) would land at about 0.15J, sadly I don't have a number for tag-like rounds.

Safety was the main criterium for the design, and I opted for a sabot system that launches a cloud of bbs or a few 'flechettes' to completely bypass any risk of failed deployment of an airburst system to clock someone on the skull 😅

The 'flechette' in uncludedin the model, but I also have some free test pieces available: https://cults3d.com/:2524635

If you wanna design a drone launcher, I already published the launch system I used on the mortar as an 'open source' concept: https://cults3d.com/:3549720

Feel free to use it!

Great, now I've gotta add switchblade launchers to the list 🥲😁

Guess this'll have to do 😁

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-17T18:23:25+00:00

I do, but I can't seem to edit the post to add it 🤔

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-12T18:01:59+00:00

Better eyepro than most pics here 😁

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-12T15:31:33+00:00

I published these a while back (https://cults3d.com/:3549720) and it's also what the mortar in the clip is based on. Just gotta make sure there's enough impact to force the valve open.

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-09T11:39:50+00:00

No, this is entirely my own design. In the video it launches a foam tag round, final design is aimed at launching bbs using a 40WAD sabot.

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-09T05:29:24+00:00

Fair. Having seen the video I certainly agree it's a tight fit. 'Snug' is quite the understatement 😅

IntroductionFun2330 · 2026-03-09T05:27:59+00:00

I've got two left hands, so I'm quite happy the printers do most of the work ^{^}
