Schienenräumung / Rail Cleaner 3S v1.1 - A quad shell shotgun blaster
The Schienenräumung, or „Rail Cleaner“, is a needlessly complicated german löre-friendly name to indicate a cyber-future where german trains run on time, no matter what. This type of blaster is used by many train guards as their primary firearm.
According to them it allows them some "slop" when fighting the many dangers their train can encounter, while it makes its way through the snow-driven wasteland to the next bastion of humanity. The blaster was first introduced to train forces in 2396, as alternative option to the Motortier SMG. There have been roughly 4% less schedule interruptions since then.

Mechanically speaking, this is a nerf-dart compatible blaster that fires 4 darts at once, from shells. The cylinder flips out to the side and can hold 6 shells in total.
It has a hammer, that when cocked, revs up the flywheels and rotates the cylinder into position. It can be fully used with one hand.
The blaster has a firing distance of 12 to 17 meter flat, and about 20 at an angle. It does depend on your darts, though. I only tried standard elites and akkufakes.
The Rail Cleaner is designed to be powered by a 3S LiPo and houses 2 motors with 130 form factor. 180 works, too.
The LiPo goes into a compartment in the back of the blaster, for balance reasons. You can insert a voltage alarm into the top of the blaster during construction, to plug your LiPo into.
All parts can be printed on a bed of 220x220x220 mm size.
When you buy this I will ask you about the color scheme you'd like the blaster to be in. It has a PRIMARY color for the body, a SECONDARY color for highlights, a TRANSPARENT color for where the LEDs in the back sit, and BLACK for the grip.
The flywheel cage uses custom wheels by Fetteworst, and 3S Kraken for motors.
