yeah, like a relay. There are threads on here...lots of threads on airsoft mechanics...also lots of good info on Unconventional Airsoft...and DonP (asc tag) runs that site.
basically you can run wires to whatever switch contact you need to signal the chip to open power up to the motor. So then you're not bound to mechanical limitations for layout. You still need to break the gate contact when the semi-auto cycle finishes...but pfft, why sweat the small stuff
Go for it. Design looks cool. Head and scope placement looks kind of wonky...and the brass ejecting on the real thing must be a little distracting
Basically making a shell for the M14 and moving the whole thing back. I don't really see that you'll have any issues with the layout...leave room up front to run some sort of LiPo pack.
Or wait a bit for the gas version to come out and build it with that.
If you could make me one that'd be awesome.
