Pyragon Drum Internals

Pyragon drum internals
I just had to see how this thing worked.  It's much more simple than I was expecting, which is pretty impressive from a design standpoint.

I do not recommend taking this thing apart.  There are a total of 11 springs, most of which do not want to cooperate.

Just take a look at these pictures and save your self the time of having to figure out exactly how to put this thing back together to get it to work.

After removing the top the 1st tubes spring pops out at you like a jack in the box.
This exposes the tube advance arm.

Under the gray plate you see the wedge system that the arm uses to advance the drum.  The other tube disc pusher upper things are still held down by the orange plate.









In the center of the drum there is a torsion spring that turns the drum as each tube runs out of ammo




pyragon drum internalsThe little wheel shown here attached to the disc pusher upper thing rides along one of the bars on the left until the tube it is out of ammo.  Once the wheel reaches that height it goes over the bar and the torsion spring spins the drum to the next position.  Really great design.

Another pic of the wheel take on top of my pet polar bear
 
This is the mech on the bottom that is engauged bu the "unload" button.  There is a wedge that pushes it out and allows the torsion spring to spin.

This is the torsion spring.  If you are trying to close up the drum and its not sitting correctly this is the reason.  If you fully disassemble the drum you will have to insert the ends of the spring into the base shown here and and the center of the inner drum and then wind the spring again so it will advance the drum properly.

  1. I opened up my drum a while ago and have been having difficulty getting the rotation system to work right. When reassembled and the lever is pulled it rotates fully, but does not go back slightly so new discs can't be loaded and then it can't rotate anymore. Did you encounter this problem at all or do you have any suggestions?

  2. Yes I did.
    The problem can be 1 of 2 things that I can think of.

    1 the 2 plastic pieces between the springs on top of the drum that get turned by the lever are not assembled correctly. The order is thiner orange piece with the longer tube part, small spring, other orange piece, large spring.

    2 You didn't wind the torsion spring enough so its not turning with enough power

    Hope that helps, let me know if you need any more info because I did have that exact problem and was able to fix it.

  4. Just look at the ones of it being taken apart backwards. Joking aside the thing is a pain to reassemble and if you need some help let me know. I've done it a few times now and know a bunch of the things that can go wrong.

  7. My son's jammed, and after taking it apart I can only get the first section to work.
    How many twists of the drum are necessary before reassembly?
    There are two small springs on top that go around the metal post, and I am having trouble figuring out which order they go on.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
