Tested many variations for magazines and honestly noted that only gravity fed weapons (so magazine on top) are the best to extend. however, gravity fed magazines feed to slow, and cause blank fires (the bolt returns without pushing a new round in the chamber). Additionally, the magazine is a critical component of the weapon, a poorly designed magazine will not work in many ways. the current 6 round magazine is already rather good (comparing to my 3 round SLC M1905). the largest number I have tested was around 12 rounds. but with that one, it loses tension after 5 rounds and starts feeding terribly

Magazine extentions? I really like this, and I'm not complaining. Just asking if its possible, I reckon you'd be able to do so by moving the system further down.

Ey m8 stfu

WHY IS NOT WORKING ARE YOU SMOKING???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are advancing in technology in this game its only a matter of time before someone makes a mech or car with a weapon like this

Well, i must agree that you are right. It probably could somehow be implemented in the future but not now. How about an semi-automatic rifle? Like an SKS or something like it? Because i would love to see an rifle version of this system. Also, you could probably improve the system more.

The biggest difference between a real life bolt action bolt and automatic bolt is how it unlocks. when a round is chambered it is locked by the bolt. otherwise it would leave the weapon when you run with it, or blow up in your face when shooting. a bolt action is manually unlocked, automatic weapons use cams or gas loading (so with the gas escaping the weapon). this weapon (and basically all my other systems) do not lock the bolt.
Also, your ideas rely to much on a literall manual operation, namely with a drag tool. my systems are build intentionally to work without the dragtool. when I speak of manual extraction, i mean like with a different key than the one firing it. creating a pedersen device is not only insanely complex, not even in regard of the difficulties mounting the device

Well, i could rely on dragging the used cannon out of the rifle. Also, the rifle best suited for an system like it, would probably be Springfield 1903. But might have to include two versions, because the Pedersen device used an self-loading system. and the device would be be very painful to create with only one version.

I am personally considering building a bolt-action system that is capable of real action, so no pinned gun, but implemented into a carrier. however, bolt-action ejection requires to 'catch' the rim of the bullet, since the hitbox of the cannon doesnt support a rim, it cannot be realistically ejected. my previous solutions relied on the logic that the mechanism will always automatically eject the round, with a manual loading cycle. in other words, my bolt-actions are actually self-loading but always fail to load.

Also, please. Could you make an bolt-action rifle with an ability to turn it into an semi-automatic gun by removing a part?

ok. i seriously love this creation. i haven't seen anything like this in the workshop.

yeah, I have noticed it. it is caused by a half pipe under the bolthead. this one should be inside the magazine cover (the 2 plows). however, due the recoil it kicks out, sadly. this occured more and more after the MV launch.

Plus you have to drag the chamber loaded fully.

I figured out a way that you can somehow fire "ALMOST" all of them. You remove the two springs inside the chamber.

Petrus, could you please try to sort out the feeding problem that is, because after 2 shots i have to manually insert the round on the chamber?

see the description above. press the white highlighted "here"

What video did dreagast show this on?

First of all, thanks for the comments! @Rye turning on invincibility is sadly the only way this thing works properly. The ejection module is namely destroyed on the first shot without. Otherwise it should go fine, but since mv update dropped, physics might have slightly change

neat, simply neat

Can never get more than 2 shots (at best) before it breaks. Cool animations, though.

@petrus1904 I didn't really thought to did this before. Sorry, my bad XD
thanks guy :)

What a great prototype gun. The mechanism itself looks fantastic, let's see what the next version will look like. Hope we can get a larger clip.

Self-Loathing cannon - expodes itself indefinitely.

@Jaum, if you hover your mouse over a piston and press 'F' you will flip it (so it contracts when pressing the key). note that you'll need some space to make it flip. @Ross, thank you! I've also read post about somewhat the same stuff, but I was already making these kind of mechanisms back then. secretly hoped that they would be not implemented since this upload would become obsolete. besides, that would most likely not make the cannon eject beautifully from the system

It looks so cool seeing shells hit the ground! This machine reminds me of something I suggested for the game a long time ago...

好有蒸汽朋克风格！

Thanks for the contribution :)

Could you please tell me how this contract piston was made? I've tried to do this, but I can not find anywhere. :/

Ok.

Thanks! @SumoJunkie, making belt fed stuff in besiege is harder than you making it irl since you cant simply slam ropes on a cannon. so you would likely end up with cannons attached to hinges. sad thing is: if the hinge doesnt break (which it shouldnt logically) there is no blowback force to load in a new one. lastly, if I would build a functional belt-fed mechanism, I would not stick the belt into a chucky, high odds of getting stuck, magazine :)

Or RPD.

Like the LSAT from Cod.

Try to make it into a light machine gun.

impressive. I tried to make a gravity fed cannon but the feeding system was very unreliablel.

Yep, I realised that as well after a few more hours after that comment was posted.*

though*

A great gun thought none the less

yep i realised that aswell after a few more hours after that comment was posted

@cman its quite early indeed, besides making a manual operation mechanism requires one to be able to grab a cannon and release it with the right timing. or one assumes every round is ejected by himself but the next one should be loaded manually. one advantage is, that you can also control the tension of the magazine.

@hampus that method works pretty much the same as holding L, but I noticed that without invincibility mode on, the extraction method is destroyed pretty much by the first round.

TIp to evryone getting jams on this thing just use godmode and drag the bolt backwards

so it loads a new round

(obviously only useble if theres no round in the chamber so you can only use this method if theres a jam where it dosent load it or dosent push it in far enough)

@Petrus1904 I might try at some point. been working on other things recently.

may be a little to early to ask but maybe an model 1887 lever action shotugun from terminator 2

Thanks all! @Im_awesome04, I made a working model long time ago, this one was simply repeatable enough to be upload worthy. I challenge you to build your own model with maybe new insights gained from this one, so you could make an even better one!

Это очень круто работает .

id love to see one with a bigger mag but this one is very fun i like pushing it to its limts and seeing how fast it can shoot

dang it, you beat me to making a working one :(

i love it!
