@PINGASMACHINE Will look into that! I'm looking for ways to apply this gas mechanism. That sounds interesting- what's so special about it?
Just looked into it. The gastrap 1930s version is currently impossible to replicate in SP (we don't have screws) but a similar design can be acheived. The clip system will take some research, though.
@IStoleYourMeme Which? Although, in recent testing of a similar concept on my own, yeah, they don't work. Although, there hasn't been a patch or whatever within the last 15 days to make this obsolete..?

@NFIGMT This is only a proof-of-concept! I'm working on a building and trying to improve reliability issues for now. If you would try to have a try at improving my current system, I can give you a link. Please respond if you would like so.
@Minecraftpoweer I know that you wont reply for the time being, but is the maxHeadingAngleAdjustmentRate and maxVelocityAngleAdjustmentRate adjusted? I would assume this allows for quicker rotation.
@metallicplanes The hand turned crank serves no purpose except for aesthetics. However, the turning of the platform and elevation is 100% done by gears.
@Roswell Yeah, from a functional standpoint it would be much more beneficial to use a normal rotator system (albeit gears were added for enhanced realism.)
@iwannabeelected At this point, with all the big builders developing new methods of producing thrust, I feel kinda sad... I keep doing a lot of these and never can perfect it. Simple genius good sir, deserves more upvotes but anything that isn't "cool" won't get attention.
@SpiritusRaptor Come to think of it, the only reason why piston engines used to fail was because they would reciprocate between two positions, not producing a single-directional movement. How'd you figure out the distance from the magnets to parts of the pistons? Plus, how'd you make this work without putting a crankshaft in the middle of the piston parts? Thanks for your time.
@Roswell I know... Then again, the challenge is what makes it fun.
@DarDragon Photoshop! Check my profile for more! :D
Nice build! The details are really nice- something I admittedly am not as good at.
@DeidaraEnterprises Thanks! I took the entire week to make this haha.
@BlackhattAircraft Thanks!
@EliteArsenals24 Thank you!

@IzzyIA Thank you!
Hopefully that's everyone!

@DeidaraEnterprises @Mmdben @WarHawk95
@PositivePlanes @BogdanX @USSR
@BogdanX Done!
@PositivePlanes uWu?
@IzzyIA Some of your builds say Mac - are you only on mobile nowadays? Always great to have more Mac users around.
BTW you can pause w/o the menu opening using keybind "P" by default

Looks like APFSDS fails to separate.

@Strikefighter04 Currently developing into a rifle of sort right now, but that was also a option I was considering.
@Roswell Mind if you share? Also, does it share the same operating mechanism?
@belugasub haha okay.
@belugasub Perhaps use F9 to take clean screenshots?
@cmdrzami Definitely not with winches.
@TheOwlAce None. It tracks a locked target automatically using a missile.
@Aizen Make a hollow tube and block one end.

@Hedero Mac Pro Retina Late 2013. Send help.
@Kitten777 The magic of the Klann Linkage.
@EliteArsenals24 Exactly, currently en route to doing exactly that.
@PositivePlanes I need the rounds to pass through so not possible
Yess.... Muchine gun...
While not a bad build, your description should be improved and I find the barrel guard a tad too thick. Great work!
@pavthepilot @destroyerP @ThePrototype
I think ya guys might've wanted get notifs about this one as well. Sorry for the ping!
@goboygo1 @LancasterAce @Gravity
The teaser was long ago, but here you go anyway. Sorry for the ping!
@iwannabeelected What the hell. I did not know that at all.
@iwannabeelected Thank you for all the support. I have something in the deep abyss of my builds folder that I think will finally work with your motor!
@ThomasRoderick Test Results

@EliteArsenals24
Thought you might be interested. Sorry if the ping bothers you- how you doing? Great to see you're still active.
@Nerfenthusiast @Minecraftpoweer @TrueSlav
Here ya guys go, fixed some things up.
@cedblox332 Code, code, and more code.
@Nerfenthusiast fixed, thank you. Don't know why it changed, when i used to be around a lot more it worked normally the way I did it.
@Minecraftpoweer ack. last time i checked it worked... Crap.
