A beautiful, functional, full-auto, select fire, brushless flywheel nerf blaster. More info on this blog in [this](https://thwacknerfmods.blogspot.com/2018/12/wip-gts-1000.html) post and [this](https://thwacknerfmods.blogspot.com/2019/02/g1-update1-mayor-emerges.html) post. For all versions, code, individual parts, and documentation, please refer to the [Github page](https://github.com/DrGlaucous/G1) *** ##UPDATE 1: **Confirmed to work** Many of the pieces have been updated to function better and screw together stronger. * The backend has a larger space for the PCB and corresponding wires. * The Voltmeter slot is larger and a cover was added to hold it in place. * Trigger and gearbox area was given a complete redesign along with the pusher cam and arm for better functionality. * An option has been added for a pusher crank with a metal screw post instead of a plastic one (use the wide pusher arm for this). * several places integeral for grip now have captive nuts for a better and less intrusive feeling. * On Switch! A hole was added for a round toggle in the center of the "carrying handle" to cut power to the blaster when not in use.

Holes and overall specifications have changed slightly between versions. Other features were added and improved,. Here is a list: * More foregrip options added (now a total of 3) * There is now a flywheel cage option for motor mounting without the use of metal brackets (motors screw directly to the cage) ***Please note: this cage is slightly wider than the original, so several other parts dealing with the cage have been resized to accommodate this. All parts that are specific to cage option have their own sub directory in the ZIP file*** * Added defferent flywheels to accomodate different brands of motor. The blaster can now be used with BrotherHobby 2205, Emax 2205, and Racestar (v1) 2205 motors. All flywheels are now grooved on the inside to prevent wheel slippage. * Handle has been redesigned with a more ergonomic grip (vs the original square one) * Fixed an issue where the magazine well could not accept 35 or 50 dart drums (the large flange would hinder their complete entry) * Rounded some rough edges and other minor improvements *** ##**Credits** >-Mag-well inner dimensions and magazine release inspired by [Flygonial's](https://www.thingiverse.com/Flygonial/about) [Rektify Mk1](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2748949) -Pusher mechanism seeded from [Shades_10318's](https://www.thingiverse.com/Shades_10318/about) [high-speed dart pusher](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2095251) *And all the hard work of trail-blazers before me.*
