Andrew Lawrence comes up with this Hy-Score rotary magazine. Looking at these pics of the parts posted on another forum, I can’t even imagine how it works or how you would even think up such a thing?

There be some clever people out there.
Unfortunately I'm not one of them.
I can't work it out either!

absolute mind boggling excellence.
Award-winning Airgun Anorak
Has anyone got the language to explain in fairly simple terms how it works in practice? From the drawings it's got me stumped.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Do you have one? I think I have heard it described as bumper cars revolving as you twist the loading gate? I can load it and the seeming random holes rotating seem to make little sense? It kind of defies logical explanation? Not sure you can even make a video cause your fingers would always be in the way.Originally Posted by Garvin

At a guess, it shows one hole for loading, so you put a pellet in and turn until the next chamber is in place. After firing a shot you turn the cap a full turn and the cam shifts another tube into place ready for firing. the spring at the bottom pushes it up. I'm guessing that the 7th tube, the red one is to show when you have fired off the 6 shots and need to reload.

As ggggr says, the tubes containing a pellet each ‘float’. In principle, They are all pushed around by turning the outer section of the mag, and when a ‘tube’ gets to the 6 o’clock position it gets pushed up into line with the bore by the little spring. I guess you use gravity to assist the pellet into the bore, and a gate (figure 4) then closes behind it. Very neat. Still can’t picture it on a gun though. Never seen it before. Doesn’t the patent application have a written description of the operation?
