Intellifeeding a blazer?

the larch · 03-01-2007, 05:21 PM

I have a non .45 grip blazer coming to me soon (I hope). and was wondering if anyone here has ever tried building a mag style intellifeed in a traditional single trigger blazer grip frame?

I hate large hoppers and think they are overkill in scenario play, but I need something to keep up with the blazer sooooooo.......

I've taken one of those BE pocket hoppers and rigged it with a revvy servo motor. I want to wire it down into the grip frame and conceal a 9 volt battery in the trigger frame with the switch.

Everytime I pull the trigger, it activaes the servo motor to make sure there's a stack in the tube.

Will there be room in the trigger frame to do this?

Feedback or ideas appreciated.

There is definatly enough room to do it with the 45 frame. Its doubtfull that it'll work with the stock BZ frame which is typically and older mag style frame.

If you're shooting at the point where a revvy won't keep up with your Blazer wouldn't your bigger problem be running out of paint from a pocket hopper?

However, it would be really cool if you got it to work.

striker,
A revvie will keep up, I just want something smaller that will keep up like a revvie.
I don't need a 200 paintball blimp on the top of my marker when a 40 rnd one will do. There just doens't seem to be a reliable 40 rnd agitated hopper built.

I already have the hopper built, just need to see if I can figure out how to wedge a battery into a traditional mag style frame.

Unless you are using hardware better than what was in the revies to begin with its not going to work well. My pocket revy worked nice on my pump but I could still outshoot it with my sniper. The issue is that the paddle really dosnt have enough spacing within the hoipper to mix properly.

And you need the size of a larger hopper to help overcome this.

I wish you luck though.

I took the four prong paddle and cut it down to the hub so that it was lower profile and then I string wrap/plastic welded a single paddle arm to the hub.

With the smaller size hopper, the single arm paddle works quite well

It will empty the 40 rnd hopper at about the same rate as my revvie.

In scenario play, I never do more than a 3-5 rnd burst, I just need something that will keep the stack there.

This is how someone did it with a 45 frame. I'd imagine the same would work on the standard frame ,but it's been a while since I looked inside the grip frame of one, so I don't recall how spacious (or not) they are. Even if it's a tighter fit, you could probably find a smaller switch than what he used.

BTW, have you thought about a Q-loader? I'm still intrigued, just never found a good enough deal on one to try it. If you're not going through pod after pod of paint and aren't rushed for time to refill your pods, it might be a good option.

Thanks for the link. I'm not so concerned about fitting the switch, I also want to fit the battery
I went the q-loader route. To me, it was awkward and a bit intensive.
