Welcome to ©
Killbucket's vast website of airsoft creations, and a lot more.
Since 2007, Killbucket has been designing and making some of the
most unusual airsoft and movie prop weapons ever seen. Killbucket's GIANT file of Airsoft Gun CAD
work is available
in standard CAD format for fast downloading. Killbucket is AutoCAD Certified by PTI, and creates full design drawings for
everything he makes with his personal ShopBot PRS Robotic CNC. Mass
is traded for durability, complexity is replaced with modular
simplicity.
An actual killbuckets minigun drive, taken apart:
Timken bearing set #2 is used. A Chevy Colorado truck uses the same part on the front wheels, 2 wheel drive, by the way. the 3/4 plumbing pipe axle is turned down slightly for them to fit. It is close enough to use a file; you may get lucky and find smaller pipe, because its sizes by the inside diameter, not outside. It can vary.
Using a metal center axle makes for a tough, solid m134 minigun assembly that can outlive yourself. However, it's also harder to make, mount, and drive. It also makes for a lot of the weight in the finished minigun, and that is important with an airsoft minigun you want to actually use.
quarter-inch thick ABS sheet and PVC tubing make up the spade grip yoke for a mounted minigun airsoft. In the foreground is an assembled barrel pack , and a delinker assembly.
Here you can see the RC car drive motor, the metal bushing that is pressed onto it to extend its motor shaft. The tapered roller bearings will live forever in an airsoft minigun, because they are meant to go 100,000 miles on a 3,000 truck.
The basic parts bonded together to make the big delinker assembly for the m134 minigun, airsoft version.
The minigun delinker chute looks as if it is flexible, but it is actually a rigid assembly.
Parts were scraps from the CNC, I'd made some parts for a customer, and these were the carrier strips for them.
The helix on the side of the main body is a strip of ABS sheet, softened in the oven, and glued on. An M134 minigun has helical tracks inside to guide the bolts of each individual gun inside.
This pattern is not supported in any way, shape, or form!
