I can spec and fit bearings check tolerances which goes down into microns to insure the load is correct also design and spec power transmission drives motors gearboxes and couplings work out drive belt loads to get the right power rated belts and pullies work out greasing requirements and quiet a bit of other stuff that is a quick basic run down and when I am not doing that stuff I do a sales rep role I've also done my first year of a civil engineering degree basically work with numbers and do a lot of maths I find All that stuff interesting and am good with numbers spelling grammar and that stuff on the other hand is not my strong suit predictive text is awesome lol and when I have to do official emails and stuff I write them then a lovely office Chic I work with make them PC etc send them back to me to send lol 😂

Sound like the perfect person to design a rotational pcp/co2 mag that locks exactly in line with the barrel, every time it turns and doesn't have play.
Or maybe a break barrel mag that works like a pcp mag and doesnt lift with barrel. Though you would probly need something like the sig asp20 locking system to stop barrel misalignments. The air gun world could use both.

Good skills there. As Kruz said, I am sure you can apply those to the airgun world. 
I know I enjoy learning about engineering/metal work.

Thanks guys I appreciate your beliefs in my capabilities but I think that you may have over estimated what I am capable of in saying that I have definitely been trying to figure out way's of doing what you are saying I don't have the actual skills required to physically do the build I could possibly do the theory but I would probably need a gun smith to do the physical work and make sure any idea that I had were actually safe to do I had thought about something like using a fixed barrel but having a slide under it that would work kinda like a bolt action you would pull it straight back to cock the spring then you could push the bolt up loading a pallet from a mag that lay horizontally what a spring in the mag and the pallet in line with the barrel one behind the other it's a little hard to explain

All designs originate somewhere, and everyone thinks differently.
