Questions for anyone with solenoid gun recoils

<< < (2/2)

BadMouth:
Moving the striking point closer to the body of the solenoid might allow for more rapid firing, but might reduce the amount of force.
If the solenoid gets up to full speed long before the end of the stroke though, there might not be much difference.
There may be a happy medium where you're getting faster firing and not giving up much.
That might be a better idea than a stronger spring.

Another idea is to have the solenoid hit something in both directions,  but that would probably screw up the effect for other games.

Just throwing ideas out there.

charlieram:
Maybe a Video will help explain, I'm not sure if anyone knows how Terminator 2s recoil system works? I don't but when you first pull and hold the trigger the energy bar is max and your shots are faster but if you keep holding the trigger in, eventually your energy gets lower and as a result the shots are slower until you release the trigger to recharge the gun energy, this is shown in the following video. One thing I did notice is the coil gets pretty hot and takes a while to cool down again but I think this is because the solenoid is pretty much on constantly until the fire rate slows down, So after watching the video do you think the fire rate is just too fast for a conventional solenoid recoil or is there anything to try such as changing he spring because it looks a pretty weak spring to me?


Dammit, How do I embed a video?!? Nevermind  :applaud:
