Thanks Jacob for the idea.
I now have a new working prototype. It uses a Lego bungee cord instead of a
rubber band. It also holds five missles stacked in an angled from the firing
chamber. It work something like this:
1) Pull the firing pin back
2) advance a missle into the firing tube by briefly opening a spring loaded
firing door
3) Release the firing pin.
Now I'm looking for a way to link pulling back the firing pin, with advancing a
single missle into the firing tube with a single motion. Shouldn't be too
difficult. At that point, it something of a machine gun really, limited only
by how fast you can pull back the firing pin. Then I'll need to revise it into
a compact design which will be built into the hull of my Millennium Falcon as a
concussion missle launcher.

| That sounds pretty neat, Ben. I hope you can share pictures with us when the design is complete (or at least near complete). John Ben Fleskes <benfleskes@msn.com> wrote in message news:FB10yy.8w@lugnet.com... (...) a (...) firing (...) loaded (...) (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.build)
