Re: Cushioning Your Hard Stop

We discovered the need for a reinforced stop a while back in testing. We are using a drawer slide to guarantee linear motion for our shooter and, as you might imagine, the draw slide designer did not anticipate hundreds of pounds of force pulling it out.

When we dry fired our shooter the small plastic hardstop built in to the slide shattered into pieces and the end of the slide rocketed off. We had to remove the restraints and replace them with hardened steel bolts right through the outside. Rubber may not be a bad idea to help with the force, but mounting locations are at a bit of premium on that thin slider.
