I'm not sure if this is worthy of its own thread, and I generally try to stay away from posting too much off-topic stuff, but since if you post in an old thread it will no longer go back up to the recent threads list, I decided it was. I know this is no new concept but I wondered if anyone else has tried it.
Stereoscopy is the process of combining two 2D images to form one 3D image. You take two images at two slightly different angles from the subject and put them backwards, so that the image at the angle your right eye would normally see the subject at is on the left and vice versa. If you don't get it check out the Wikipedia article on it. http://en.wikipedia....iki/Stereoscopy
I created one and it's really quite easy. It doesn't seem to involve as much calculation as you might expect to get the angles good enough. This is the only one I've done so far. I know it's boring but it was mainly just a test. Look at these two pictures and cross your eyes. You should then see one 3D image in the middle of two 2D images. The fan and the backpack to the right of it stand out the most.

So, has anyone else tried making these kinds of pictures or any other interesting things like that when they were bored?

Most people say brass is pretty light and I've seen a few mods that use brass. I think you'd be fine with it. You should make the barrels whatever length they are in cx's mod on this site, just with brass I guess.
EDIT: Brass is fine. "The barrel material is very difficult to find and can be replaced with 9/16" OD K&S brand brass tubing for very similar performance."

I did this with an RF20 and was able to fit about three 1/2" shotgun darts down each barrel, making for loads of fun just unloading on targets. Given that it only got about 15' flat, it was very impractical for wars, but next I'd like to try an RF100 now that I have some fresh foam.

They're pretty much the same size but you'd be surprised at the difference in how difficult it is to compress an old style NF spring compared to a new one. If you're going to add bungees or bands to the gun it won't make much of a difference anyway but if you don't plan on doing that I recommend the old style spring; it'll make a huge difference.

Check valve problem is what it sounds like. Or maybe the o-ring on your pump just came out of place or shrunk and isn't making a proper seal. Check the o-ring first and if it's shot replace it, and if you can't find a problem with the pump shaft itself you'll probably have to completely replace the pump with a new one.

What's so hard to follow? He took a Ripchord turret and stuck it on a Ball Blaster.
If you reduced the amount of barrels to three (either by plugging two of those or just putting in three homemade ones) it would probably get higher and more consistent ranges. I put seven barrels in mine but didn't realize that was way too many, but I think three would be good. Nice concept anyway, even if the ranges are shit.

Both my PCs are very reliable. One I've owned for a year and a half and the other for six months; neither of them has had any problems.
Like CS said the ranges are around the same, but my Magstrike got a few feet (maybe 5) on my PCs, probably because the clips are a tighter fit on my Stefans.

You can't overpump an RF20, it's got a pin on the bladder that releases excess air when it gets too full.
Your o-ring on the pump might not be making a proper seal anymore; it could also have a leak in the tubing. If it's the o-ring you'll need to buy a new one and if it's the tubing you'll need to replace it or find a way to patch it up. Use Plumber's Goop to fix the tubing or use 1/4" OD vinyl tubing to replace the broken section. If it's the o-ring you should be able to find a new one at a hardware store, or so I've heard.
Good luck.

When I pull the pump back about 3/4 of the way, it pressurizes it. If I do this about four times, I have a pressurized tank. Could it still be the check valve? This is an inconvenience, but at least I can still use it.

I got one a few weeks ago. I chopped off the air restrictor on the end of the barrel and shoved a Crayola down there. It gets about 50' flat for me. It could have been done better with some brass, copper, etc. but I was short on materials. I don't use it much, since it's a single shot gun. It's decent and the ROF is okay for a pretty good micro shooter. I kept the bow parts on mine, but lost the strings. I use those circle-shaped holes on the bow arms as ammo holders. The ones on the outside fit 1/2" Stefans beautifully. I'd recommend buying it for $10.00 if you're into Blast Bazooka-esque guns.

Okay, I just got the AT3K two pack at TRU. They worked fine for stock Air Techs, but after shooting the silver one about twenty to thirty times, it leaks. It worked the first few times after laying around for a few hours, but then every time I pumped it, it leaked. As soon as the pump handle is pulled, the air escapes. The barrels also don't rotate. I did a search on this, but didn't find anything about leakage. Please help, it's really pissing me off.
EDIT:Wait, it rotates, sorry. There is a severe leak in it, though.

I finally got around to my good old Lanard Blast Bazooka. All I did was saw off the last 1/2" of the barrel, jam a Stefan in there and shoot. I just did it and can't range test it yet, but I am guessing it will have a maximum range of about 70'. I didn't brass it. I'm sure this has been done before, but I couldn't find anything about it on the site. I'll tell you when I find out the range (with Stefans, stock micros and BB missiles).

Yeah, I know. I meant I couldn't find anything about just sawing off the tip of the barrel, not brassing it. Sorry for the confusion. >EDIT< I just tested the range. I get around 60-65' on good Stefan micros. I tried jamming about three 1/2'' long Stefans in the barrel. I only got about 30-35', but it had about a 15' spread. I could probably fit about six in there, but it would probably have horrible range then. I'm quite happy with it!

Foam backer rod (FBR), also known as poly foam cualk saver, is the standard material for darts. If you are planning on making micros, buy 1/2", if you want to make megas, buy 5/8" and if you are planning on making nanos-which is extrememly unlikely-buy some 3/8" FBR.

Exterminator modded his Mav with CPVC. One of my friends did this too, and I should try it as it gets about 50' flat. I think that's about all you'll get unless you do light, light, light, very light spring replacement like Duce, which I think he said got like 60' flat(?). I like my Maverick but don't use it too much due to its poor range and accuracy.
As for the Firefly, I don't like them. The same friend with the CPVC Mav has one; he says he's going to CPVC it, so we'll see how that goes. I don't think there have been any mods other than restrictor removal and spring replacement (with some reinforcement of course).
I got my BBB for $20, but I think some places still have them at $25. As Uncle Hammer said, they're only at TRU and I like mine. I use it a lot because of its solid feel.
Basically, the Mav has a little potential, but not a lot, and the Firefly I'm not too impressed with. It's horribly uncomfortable and only gets about 40' flat with the restrictor mod and I can't see it getting any more with CPVC.

Looks very nice, but unless you plan on adding a cap to the back end, isn't there a slight chance that hook could slip off and the spring fly and hit you in the face?
Anyway, I like it. I never thought to use a spring like that, I always thought you had to use a spring like in the stock guns.
EDIT: Oh, I get it. Never mind, looks really good.

I don't know why Nerf micros wouldn't fit. I'm not sure how putting PVC over the Crayola helps, so I'd say yes. I did a regular Crayola mod on mine and get about 49' flat with bands. It's not the best but it gets the job done. You can do a straight Crayola mod, but having PVC over it looks better, at least I think so. Good luck.
You should start using Stefans too, unless you can't find materials.

That's not your OP valve, it's the check valve. I lost both 3ks the same way. It might have been due to the fact that I did a craptacular job plugging the pump and got a mound of glue on it, so if you have another be careful plugging the pump. If the gun just loses all the air as soon as you pump it that's the check valve and I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think there's a way to fix that other than just replacing the stock pump with a totally different one.
If you plan on doing this, just take some 1/4" outer diameter vinyl tubing and replace the stock 3k tubing with that. Connect it with Plumber's Goop to both the 3k tank and the new pump you're using. You probably won't be able to keep the cool shotgun-esque pump, but it would be a lot better to have a working gun with a new pump in it.

Don't worry about it; if anyone like munson yells at you, pay no attention.

But some people like munson just stay n00bs forever, even after they're no longer newbs. So just ignore them.
About the mod. Just try it and see if you can do it, I'm not sure though because the walls of the Crayolas are very thin so you can't really sand them down to fit. I think your best bet would just be to do what some others have done to their Scouts and simply remove the peg. Or you can go to www.freewebs.com/sdnerfteam/sqiggssmods.htm and find his Crossfire mod. It's the second one down. I never really saw it shoot but it got pretty good ranges supposedly. It's fairly simple too. If you don't have access to CPVC (I can't imagine you don't), or you just really want to nest a barrel in the stock one, you could always go with a paper barrel. It sounds dumb but if you just take a sheet of paper and wrap it around your dart, and then tape it in a tube shape and cut it to the right length, they actually work decently. You can get a perfect custom fit for your own Stefans (or stock darts) and can add tape as necesary to get it to fit in the stock barrel. Good luck.
