TPX First Strike Demo.

agentSmith · 01-20-2010, 03:03 AM

Just an off the cuff video of work in progress plus general fooling around. I'd been outside all day and was pretty numb! Thanks to my friend Walt from the HS Mercenaries as always.

The first strikes really shoot well, now that I'm confident that they'll be available in a field paint version at Hell Survivors it's time to get it done!
I've got a sledneck design for the magazine that looks like it will work once I get the time!

The barking eye brow behind the fence is just funny.

But other wise great demo, sooner or later I need to start tinkering on mine again

It was training! As I told my friend Walt "when you have enough focus to filter out the dog and not notice it, you have enough focus to play pistol and put up with the rest of your team and their noisy little constant air 'dogs' making a hundred or so barks for each elimination!"

Love the tool..want to kill the dog.

When I was lucky enough to try out the prototype Tru-Feed mags several months ago, I realized that they would be far simpler and more effective as first strike mags than a modded 8rder. All I had to do was wait for them to come out! I was able to junk my glued up 8rd mag saturday and spend an hour making this:

Opening out the top part of the paintwell to match the bottom section inside the mag was mostly what was required, for my pistol I had to strengthen the mag springs a bit too, but I made the breech tight on purpose so my first strikes didn't flip the first round upward as the T4 I tried did several times.

Because the back of the round with the fins goes straight back in the top of the mag instead of tapering downward as a regular ball would, I only load 6. Works like a champ though...

nice. I tried on a staggered mag as well - total pain in the ***. can't wait to swap my mags and do this.

agentSmith · 06-14-2010, 05:51 PM

I'll get some pics of the mag opened up. I can take the time now that I've shot all my first strike rounds up

.

I'm still amazed at ripping off a mag of these things. I'll have 2 mags ready of these whenever I play outlaw.

They're still not allowed at HS though...
