Hai, I can haz cheezburger?
kthxbye
I count 70 ideas, though some of them are repeats.
Therefore, choose the top 7 ideas?
Let's see how this works
-Luke Miller
| Idea | Description | Terry | Luke | Charles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fix magazine issue | Ensure the magazine is level in the gun otherwise it jams | |||
| Grenade launcher | Mount a grenade launcher to the front of the gun | |||
| Front automatic gun | Mount an automatic gun to the front of the gun | |||
| Silent piston | Make the piston as silent as possible | |||
| Pump action rifle | User pumps rifle to get or less power | |||
| Magnetic piston | Redo the piston to use magnets instead of springs | |||
| Remove weights | Reduce the weight of the gun by removing the metal weights | |||
| Ammo counter | Digital counter displays how much ammo is left | |||
| Enhanced hearing | Attach a microphone to the front of the gun for better scouting | |||
| Sonar | Allows user to detect other people | |||
| GPS target locator | User "paints" a target so his teammate can find targets | |||
| Flying broom | User mounts gun like a broom and flies around | |||
| GPS system | Allows user to find his gun if he loses it or lends it to a teammate | |||
| Automated turret | Make the gun into an automated sentry gun | |||
| Shotgun | Gun shoots multiple BBs at target | |||
| Optical Camoflogue | Makes the gun very hard to see | |||
| Biometric gun lock | Allows only a few people the ability to shoot the gun | |||
| Gun decocker | De-cocks the gun while it is stored for long periods of time | |||
| 2 Halves | Enables easier disassembly of the gun | |||
| Ejecting shells | Shells eject for added realism | |||
| Metal finish | Makes the gun look more realistic | |||
| Body moulding | Conforms the body to the gun for improved ergonomics | |||
| Trigger light | Indicates how close the gun is to firing by measuring trigger pressure | |||
| Scope GUI | Shows how much ammo is left, whether the gun is cocked, and other important info in the scope | |||
| X-ray scope | Allows user to see targets hidden behind walls | |||
| Auto cocker | automatically cocks the gun | |||
| Feedback weight system | Weights move as gun is aimed to steady user's aim | |||
| Projectile projection scope | Scope that shows where BBs are likely to land | |||
| Automatic hopup adjustment | Adjusts hopup based on a targets distance | |||
| Guided BBs | BBs that are guided as specified by the user | |||
| Recoil gas vents | Vents that give the gun realistic recoil | |||
| Adjustable gas volume | Sensor determines targets distance and uses the right amount of gas to hit target | |||
| Explosion defense | Gun shoots out a blast of air to deflect incoming BBs | |||
| Smoke launcher | Releases smoke to provide the user time to escape | |||
| Football shaped BBs | BBs that are ellipsoid shaped rather than sphere shaped | |||
| Hybrid Gun | Hybrid spring/electric, spring-gas, or gas-electric gun | |||
| Ammo Status Indicator | Similar to the ammo counter, but just an indicator light that warns at varying levels of low ammo count | |||
| Collapsible Stock | Stock would fold to the side to reduce the length of the gun | |||
| Foldable Stock | Stock would slide in to reduce the length of the gun | |||
| Built-in Bipod | A bipod that is built into the frame of the gun | |||
| Foldable Barrel Assembly | Foldable front barrel assembly to allow for a long barrel as well as a reduced length barrel | |||
| Sliding Barrel Assembly | The bolt and barrel assembly could slide to reduce the length of the gun | |||
| Magnetic Magazines | The magazines would lock in with magnets instead of a spring-loaded latch | |||
| Internal Tracer | Internal tracer unit for use with phosphorescent BBs to give a tracer effect | |||
| Higher Capacity Magazine | A magazine with a higher capacity for BBs | |||
| "Nerf Football" Shaped BBs | A Nerf Vortex football shaped plastic pellet, but with a tail to help stabilize flight | |||
| Bullet Shaped BBs | A plastic pellet in the shape of a bullet | |||
| Clear BBs | BBs made from clear plastic to reduce visibility of incoming BBs | |||
| Electromagnetic Trigger | A trigger assembly that uses electromagnets to fire the gun | |||
| Improve Biodegradable BBs | Existing biodegradable BBs are poor in quality as sub par when compared to plastic BBs | |||
| Airsoft Mask | Design a mask that will not fog up and fits comfortable on a person's face. | |||
| Collapsible Stock | A collapsible stock will make the gun more usable. | |||
| Have the gun fire with a more realistic sound | The sound of an airsoft gun often does not resemble | |||
| Airsoft gun that can be mounted on someone's head | ?? | |||
| Airsoft gun strapped to the arm | Megaman style | |||
| Airsoft gun that fires like a shotgun | Many BBs are projected at once. | |||
| Airsoft gun that fires backwards | ?? | |||
| Integrate a human form recognition program | Similar to the Samsung Armed Sentry Bot, the airsoft gun will fire when it recognizes anything that looks human. | |||
| Airsoft grenade | The grenade will explode upon impact. | |||
| Improvements to the magazine | A magazine that does not feed by gravity and can take a bottles worth of BBs. | |||
| Add an electrical BB counter | The counter will count the number of BBs left in the magazine. | |||
| Ultra silent airsoft gun | No recoil, no discharge sound | |||
| Airsoft that fires by combustion | Boom! | |||
| Airsoft that fires by the Mentos and Diet Coke | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM | |||
| Safety Watch | This idea is not new. Make a watch that will interact with the airsoft gun through rfid. If the rfid chip that is embedded in the watch is not close enough to the gun then the gun will not fire. | |||
| Something with tasers and airsoft | Mount a taser on an airsoft for close combat action? Electrically charge the BBs so that when they hit their target more pain ensues? | |||
| Airsoft gun manufactured from 100% recycled material | An environmentally friendly airsoft gun | |||
| BBs that turns in powder upon impact | Similar to a paintball, the BB will powders when it hits. Powders are better than paints as it is dry and can be wiped off. | |||
| A lighter Well's L96 Airsoft gun | Remove some weights and re-balance airsoft gun. | |||
| Snap Pop BBs | An airsoft gun that will fire snap pops instead of BBs. Snap pops are tiny explosives that emits a popping noise upon impact. |
