Looks a little hard to pump. The breach is cool, I think it would be a beast with shotgun shells too.

OMC, awesome addon. The theme is very similar to my firefox skin, and my IM client's skin. Everything is nice and unified.
More google related thread hijacking:
Anyone else use digsby? It's a cool IM client that can do a lot of stuff. It combines all of your IM services, and can alert you if you get emails or messages on a social networking site. I use it and like it a lot. It keeps me from compulsively checking my gmail accounts and facebook.
It has a couple downsides though, no AIM chatroom support (yet at least) and doesn't work with just any email address. So far they support Gmail, AOL, IMAP, and POP accounts. I can't make it check my campus email (which opens in a web version of outlook), but I'm no email expert.
Just thought I'd share.

I've been inspired by your stuff to make a steampunk rifle of my own. I had an RFR laying around that I wanted to get rid of, so I figured why not. I used to be really into painting warhammer figurines, and I think that some of the painting skills that I learned can be scaled up. I also have a box full of citadel paints.
I hope you don't mind my intrusion onto your "turf" so to speak. I do plan on selling it on ebay when it's complete. It's not going to be as good as your stuff, I'm pretty sure. But I plan on taking my time on it. I've really taken note of some of the details that you put on your guns, and I can tell that those small details really complete it.

You might want to get some Citadel Clear coat. That's kind of expensive though, but you know it's compatible.Thanks for the comments guys. Guess I won't change it up anymore than it needs to. I did notice that the purple looks a lot like the purple on the crossbow.
I'm going to try and finish the rest of it tonight after I go out and buy some sort of sealant. Anything you guys recommend?
I use krylon triple-thick clear coat on my guns and it seems to work pretty good. It's cheap too, $3 @ Wallyworld.
I like your paintjob though, very slick. Blacksunshine made a few maroon guns, this reminds me of those. It's a good color on nerf guns.

#170837 Weird Barrel Issue

I had an AT2k that I was running with a crayola and pvc setup for stock micros. Most of the time it shot like a beast, but regularly, a dart would become folded over in the pvc.
Look for a barrel material that allows the smallest amount of space around the darts.

#166875 Steampunk Mav Mod

PREP WORK! The key is prep work.
This gun was clearly not prepped. The glue and most noticeably the paintjob are well, at best very rudimentary. If you took some time, sanded the warnings and logos off, sprayed a smooth coat of primer, and planned out your design, it would be much better.
To me, it looks like you had no real plan of attack. You thought on a whim to make a "steampunk" gun and then did it in an hour. I plan my guns out. I draw an initial sketch. Then I go out and look for parts. When I have a selection of cosmetic add-ons, I draw the gun again, reflecting the parts that I have.
Second, you need to plan your paintjob. You need to decide on a color palette that works. I recommend 3 or 4 colors. Pick one to be the main color, one or two for the other parts, and one for the accents. This white or grey color is not really associated with steampunk. Try something gold, bronze, brass, copper, silver, gunmetal, or even wood. These are the kinds of colors that are what make something steampunk. Remember, steampunk is the alternative reality where modern technology is created through Victorian means. Think about what something from the Victorian era is made of. Some kind of metal or wood.
Lastly, if you're doing cosmetic mods, you need to think of aesthetics. Maybe the gun looks awesome to you, if so then you've succeeded. Personally, I find it very unbalanced. The barrels look small and offset in comparison to the body of the gun. You've taken away a lot on the front, while adding a lot to the back. This is what creates this unbalance. I suggest making the back smaller. You could shorten the grip, sand down the slide, making it a nite-mav would also work. The hose is a good touch. If you took the time to glue it more evenly, and with less glue, it would work fairly well. I would definitely lose the spring on top. It looks silly. I know what you were trying to go for, some type of wire coil, and you're right, that would look cool, but if you want a wire coil, make one. It's not hard, and would go a long way to improve looks. A spring just isn't really a good stand-in.
I would highly recommend practicing. Maybe not on guns though, that could be costly. I am able to paint guns well because I have a slew of warhammer miniatures that I've painted. Most of them suck, but you learn from experience. I don't want to come off as a know-it-all self-important asshole. I just want to offer you some advice to expedite your learning experience.
To sum things up:
Practice painting
Practice designing
Prepare properly

One question; The Maverick slide doesn't slam into the shell when you fire, does it? That's the only potential problem I see with this. I really like it though, seems simpler than the original nite-mav.

sig-worthy.
But yeah, a set height to test from is a great idea...
...or at least people could tell what height they were shooting at if they don't like the metric system.
Anyways, interseting post C, I never knew height had that much effect on range.
