Status: offline 		Hope that this is the right forum to post this, because I'm not quite sure whether it is unusual enough...
First things first, I'm a kid - 15
... and I don't know anyone my age that builds stuff like me, so I might as well ask for help from the more experienced builders on this forum.
The platform which I have started with took me three weeks to build (Winter break + Spring break) and is 100% custom, It is a tank drive (skid steer) which is very stable, yet is a meager 6x5 inches. It has no suspension but has a .5 inch of ground clearance. Since my tools consist of a drillpress, hacksaw, and some files, I have done my best to make it look professional. I have a four channel futaba radio controlling it and separate speed controlls for each side. this is meant to be run on flat surfaces, or perhaps some small grass/dirt.

...Now for the NEEDED ADVICE

I have constructed a (turret?) and put a full auto airsoft gun in it. The elevation is controlled by a high torque servo and the firing is simple, but I need to make a magazine for sustained firepower and space is an issue...
any ideas for a magazine... any other comments are appreciated... I'm kinda down cause everything works except the mag. and I have finals coming up, so its a stressful time.
PS... the blue pistons are for dampening recoil
Now for the PICS:
