The card shooter gun

Hi to everybody¡

It’s my new design¡

As the title says, it’s just a gun that shoots cards.

I was inspired by a cartoon series, that the main character was able to shoot cards with a gun.

I searched for one gun like this on the internet, but I didn’t find any, then I decided to do my own design and invent a gun which can shoot cards.

 

It’s the design for this gun, almost normal gun in her handle, but special in the top part.
Use this gun is really simple.

 

-First: You have to charge the ammo in the charger, this means, put a deck of card in the top charger.

-Second: You must charge

the gun moving back the charger trigger.

-Third: Push the trigger and the gun will shoot the card.

 

 

The mechanism:

The best way to see how this easy mechanism work is a video, one video is more valuable than one hundred words.

Here you can see a render from all mechanism: 

The mechanism is designed as simply as I can, t have two position:

First: The gun is load, the gear is being attracted by a dock but one small piece is holding the gear which makes the wheel turn.

Second: Push the trigger, the spring is compressed and the small piece is turning, it’s unblocking the linear gear. now the gear can advance until a physical lock. The linear gear moves the wheel gear that is join with another wheel. The wheel turn and shoot the card.

Another picture of the mechanism:

The mechanism is in fact really simple, maybe the chassis is the most complex part of the gun.

Technical characteristics:

Weight= 162.65 gram

The chassis and almost all parts are made from plastic ABS. Only the dock and spring are made with metal.

It’s just a toy, but it will be really fun!

That’s all my friends, I’ll see you in the next design.
