Next up is to remove the 4 outer screws from the back plate to remove the internal mechanics of the launcher. The innards are under tension of 3 rather robust springs so when you pull the last screw out it will very likely self disassemble all over your work bench for you. |
| |
Next we will strip this all down a little more... pulling the spring retention clip off the front of the motor module as well as the firing sensor. Sets the sensor aside this will be vitally important for later steps. this project will not work without it. |
|
With the motor module isolated finally we will be cutting it in half. Remove any unnecessary gears on the inside of it with a little pressure from a screw driver. Finally throw the motor bits into that bucket, bin or box of assorted electronic parts you never seem to use. We will be connecting its power lead to the motor in the airsoft gun in a later step. |
|
So this is a step where someone else doing this for you pays off in time and frustration savings. The bottom of the launcher module we will need to remove for our project here. There are 2 contact switches that it presses to indicate max movement up and down. This we will just glue to our lower hinge part we cut from the motor module later. One tip here is to mark the back section as the back to save work later. |
|
This is just a quick reference shot of the switches for the max range of movement in the top of the turret. |
