Howdy LPF! :beer:

I have one O-like gatlin for more that a year. It was cca. 100$ (a bit overpriced, but really nice host).

And I decided to... disassemble it! :eg:
(And reassemble it after that, no damage made :angel:)


Here it goes:



The gatlin:

Barrels detail:

Reloading the gatlin (battery):

Disassembly:


Tools you need

Tweezers and hex wrench (3mm IIRC)

Procedure:

Remove the tailcap:

Use tweezers to unscrew the part of the tailcap that holds the button:

You will get this:

Use the hex wrench (Allen wrench) to unscrew these little screws (but from the tail side of the laser, not the front):

Do that 12x and get this:

Now, pull the back part while holding the front part of the gatlin:

DSCF6905.jpg


You will get this:

DSCF6916.jpg


DSCF6918.jpg


And this:

DSCF6911.jpg



I tried to put the battery in and turn it on, and this is what happened:

Now remove the screws from the front of the laser:

DSCF6930.jpg


Pull out all barrels (12x):

DSCF6931.jpg


DSCF6932.jpg


Done!



Parts of the gatlin:

You can combine the front and the tail part of the laser, without using the barrels, to get this:

End



I hope you enjoyed this little tour!

When I first got into lasers I always wanted one of those. But it was expensive and always out of stock. Good guide and nice pictures +1.
