It sounded almost like an AEG firing, albeit at a much slower rate...interesting.
Can't wait to see it close up.

He means the ballistics between an Airsoft round and a Nerf dart/Stefan.
An Airsoft pellet is much harder and is hit with more force than is practical/possible for a dart/Stefan.

Forsaken, I will mail you $20 if you can get the Vulcan to go over 100 feet.
The challenge is on....ish

Why can't we speculate? isn't that what this is all about? and why SHOULDN"T we contact Hasbro? Do you just want to find stuff out first?

I smell a 9999 day can of whoop ass....

I still think we need a new picture of this thing.

Well, the tripod looks sturdy!

Which, as you all obviously know, is vital to a guns...umm....usefulness.

I think that the Vulcan is going to be a lot like BioShock. [b][Warning Opinionated Content] It is already over-hyped, and will most likely fall short of what is expected. This is not to say it will suck completely, I mean, i want one. Badly. But that is just me.
The game you're talking about is Assassin's Creed.

Yeah Assassin's Creed got old fast.
I never really liked Bioshock, but the Multiplayer on H3 is always fun.

But I only see 3N-Strike rails!
Shouldn't this have like, 12!?

#141173 The Vulcan

Ol' Sluggy already did.

Quick! Make an algorithim to find out how big it is based on the rail!
It's anywhere from 24? to 28? inches based on the dimensions I've measured of the distance from the rail stop to the little spring-loaded rail catch. This measurement comes from the same integration rail that's on the underside of the faux barrel attachment for the Recon.

I can't find anything else to measure from on the image and it's pretty hard to gauge taking into account perspective if there's any kind of focal distortion, although it's not terribly distorted so the margin of error isn't too bad.

Q.E.D.

The box that holds the chain means that it probably only holds one chain. Which sucks

Unless the chain breaks into smaller, shorter chains.

Shit...a green fucking Titan.

The hyperfire-look down in the bottom left corner of this link.
And this one.

Unless the chain breaks into smaller, shorter chains.

Which still would mean that it would only hold 25 darts, right?

Yes, but it would mean that more chains could be added.(like a refill pack)

Why would we use nanos?

#140275 The Vulcan

Posted by sputnik on 14 February 2008 - 06:11 PM in General Nerf

The hyperfire just sounds like 2 magstrike and 2 crossfires in one box to me.

I imagine the hyperfire to be some form of a blastfire.

That's like saying that a computer and a toaster are the same because they both use electricity.

So how does the inverted plunger affect the range?
Up or Down?

Up or Down?
The plunger direction doesn't affect range, more ergonomics. And I've never actually tested range on this gun. However, its construction is identical to the SNAP-4, with a slightly smaller inline. As such, it should get ~50-80 feet. Considering the number of shots, and that it'll eventually have a shield, that's great. I'll get "official" ranges later.

Cool.
Amazing work as always.

#140123 The Snap-4m

Posted by sputnik on 14 February 2008 - 12:37 AM in Homemades

So does this mean no more SNAP-DUO?

#140130 The Snap-4m

Posted by sputnik on 14 February 2008 - 01:10 AM in Homemades

On the contrary, but it's going to be a while before I can do the next step...namely, paint job. I have no basement to work in, and there's no way I can paint outside. Anyway, there's a few mechanical changes to make, and I have to give it a proper name, too. Besides, I won't let one project get in the way of starting another.

Oh good. You should name it Steve, in honor of Steve Irwin, cause of the sting ray thing.

Posted by sputnik on 23 February 2008 - 12:11 PM in Homemades

So it is still a regular plunger setup?
Or is it inverted?

#151146 The Quickie

Posted by sputnik on 14 April 2008 - 04:21 PM in Modifications

Yeah, since then I've covered it in black etape.
The point was to mod it without major tools, something newer members were asking about.

Also, the screws are rusted in(damn goodwill) so i can't open it...

Cool. I'm bewildered how one can hold a Titan and an N.R.F. MagStrike, but if it works for you, I think that's just jim-dandy .

Magstrike=slung over on my back.

Final product.

#151140 The Quickie

Posted by sputnik on 14 April 2008 - 03:53 PM in Modifications

Interesting. How does it hold up in war conditions?

As far as 5 person wars go, it works well.
I'm unstoppable from the low ground.
:lol:

This, paired with my Iron Man magstrike, is a formidable pair, at least for our wars.

#151135 The Quickie

Posted by sputnik on 14 April 2008 - 03:23 PM in Modifications

This modification is quite possibly one of the easiest to perform, especially with limited resources.
I did this mod because of my inability to open up the gun due to rusted in screws. Fuck Goodwill stuff.
For such a simple modification, it turned out quite well.
Anyway, I'll get on with it.

You will need:
Titan
Your choice of barrel material.
Duct tape
E-Tape
and nesting material.(PVC, etc.)

Ok, step 1.
Take the PVC

and the PETG
Posted Image

and nest them. This will act as the base.
Posted Image

I used 12" of PETG inside roughly 2 1/2 inches of Sch.80 PVC.

Step 2.
Put this piece aside, you wont be using it for this mod.
Posted Image

Step 3.
Now line the nested PETG up with the inner threaded stub.
I removed the AR, however, you don't have to.
Posted Image

^ompa's picture^

Wrap duct tape around as necassary.
I then sealed it with E-Tape. It is airtight now.
I used metal duct tape to stabilize it.
Finished product:

It may be fugly, but it took about 10 minutes to do, and gets 160' flat.

Disclaimer: I am 6' 2", and I shot from my shoulder.

Showered with it. Took it on long walks down the coastline. Did all the things a young boy could do with a Titan (except take proper care of it).

I'd sig, but I <3 the one I have.

I'm not trying to add to this fight, but despite the PS3's more powerful hardware, it still suffers from the same, blurry graphics.

You're responding to a 2 1/2 month old portion of this topic started by a member whose account was deactivated. Adding to a pointless and now dormant fight is precisely what you're doing. Let the topic move on.

Thanks VACC.
