#46433 Johnny Carson Dead

Posted by NerfMonkey on 23 January 2005 - 07:15 PM in Off Topic

Johnny Carson, who was 79 years old, died of emphysema today. It was probably from smoking. For those of you (if anyone) who didn't know, he was the host of "The Tonight Show" before Jay Leno took over. He was supposedly surrounded by his family.

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.

#62260 At3k+brass

Posted by NerfMonkey on 19 August 2005 - 07:31 PM in Modifications

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."

#86292 Stereoscopy

Posted by NerfMonkey on 02 August 2006 - 12:46 AM in Off Topic

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?

#114983 In Site Questions

Posted by NerfMonkey on 07 July 2007 - 10:37 PM in Off Topic

This will answer all of your questions.

Being a recently validated member doesn't excuse missing the advice we give in what is now every other thread. SEARCH.

Being a non-recently validated member also doesn't give you the right to take the place of admins and be a bitch to new members.

1. That's a signature. The series of dashes with words under it is what I think you mean. It doesn't serve any real purpose and it just another way to set yourself apart from other members.

2. The plunger is the part of a spring gun that is pulled back, compressing a spring, and when the gun is fired it moves forward and forces air out of the tube in which it's housed to fire darts. Some people also refer to the pump in pump guns as a plunger, and it is in the sense that it pushes air into the tank, but generally people are referring to springers when they talk about plungers.

3. It depends on what you want out of it. Generally springers are faster (rate of fire wise) than pump guns, but pump guns generally outrange springers. If you want a good balance between range and rate of fire I suggest a large springer that has a big plunger and strong spring. It's still faster to cock it once than it is to pump a gun three or four times and can still maintain good ranges if its propulsion system as a whole is big enough. If you want the same balance of range and rate of fire from a pump gun go buy an Airtech 2000 (AT2k or just 2k) from Kohl's and replace the stock barrels of the turret with something else and plug the pump.

Welcome.

#66750 Anyone For Some Discussion?

Posted by NerfMonkey on 28 October 2005 - 11:31 PM in Modifications

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.

#59141 1/2" Pvc

Posted by NerfMonkey on 12 July 2005 - 03:12 PM in Modifications

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.

#51879 Chainblazer

Posted by NerfMonkey on 07 April 2005 - 08:45 PM in General Nerf

I don't have a Chainblazer, but I've heard they get good range for a fast gun. There is a problem with jamming, though. And chains sometimes fall off. The RF20's range is lower, but it's got twenty shots, although that means much slower reload time. Most would say the Chainblazer is an excellent gun.

#104409 Pumping On My At2k Is Messed Up

Posted by NerfMonkey on 07 May 2007 - 05:23 PM in Modifications

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.

#56275 Barrel Q

Yes, usually your local Lowe's or Home Depot will carry CPVC, 1/2" is what you want.

#56272 Barrel Q

Posted by NerfMonkey on 01 June 2005 - 02:59 PM in Modifications

For micros, PVC will not work, unless you're nesting a Crayola or CPVC in it, but for megas (though an NF wouldn't have much power for them), 1/2" PVC is the way to go. Don't use PVC unless you're going to use a micro barrel in it. And search next time, there is an overabundant number of topics like this.

Good luck.

#50557 Airzone Crossbow

Posted by NerfMonkey on 25 March 2005 - 10:04 PM in General Nerf

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.

#84142 Rapid Fire 20 Pumping Problem Thingy.

Posted by NerfMonkey on 01 July 2006 - 05:43 PM in General Nerf

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.

Posted by NerfMonkey on 01 October 2005 - 04:25 PM in General Nerf

A friend of mine named Eric has a small plastic orange gun that shoots the exact darts from that shotgun. It's actually pretty good. I'd consider the shotgun because if it fires the same darts maybe it's about the same performance-wise.

#77731 Rf 20 Help

Posted by NerfMonkey on 26 March 2006 - 07:33 PM in General Nerf

The tubing is fine; it looks like it would interfere with closing the case but it's always like that, you just can't see it when you have the black cover on.

Like Angel said, make sure the black seal piece is in place. I'll go get some pictures of mine's internals with everything correctly in place and you can compare them. Good luck; I'll edit this post later with pics.

EDIT: Pictures aren't necessary. I just checked mine's internals and your seal piece is in place wrong. Side-to-side, not up and down, is the way the wings have to go in.

#53141 Serious Problem

Posted by NerfMonkey on 21 April 2005 - 08:44 PM in Modifications

Did you put the rubber black thing over where the air comes out with the two holes in it back in the right way? It has to be put in with the holes in it vertical, they CAN NOT BE HORIZONTAL. I did that on mine and it took me a day to figure out what was wrong with it.

#84989 Xbow Problem

Posted by NerfMonkey on 13 July 2006 - 07:10 PM in Modifications

And, if you want to know my ranges, with a good dart I can get 75-80+ and angled 90-100+.

So...what you're saying is that your 3B gets over 80' flat with mega Stefans? That doesn't sound quite right.

What's the problem if the gun you expected not to get good range gets better range than your other one? As long as they both work for you don't worry about it. Unless your Crossbow's range really sucks or something, but if you didn't even notice until your 3B was modded, I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

#73065 Airtech 3k Mod Problems

Posted by NerfMonkey on 13 February 2006 - 05:11 PM in Modifications

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.

#108459 Magstrike, Pc Ranges?

Posted by NerfMonkey on 30 May 2007 - 09:22 PM in General Nerf

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.

#59121 Pc Vs Rf20?

Posted by NerfMonkey on 12 July 2005 - 01:44 AM in General Nerf

Wait. You have both, so why are you asking us which is better? Just mod them and test them against each other, then you'll know. I'm pretty sure PCs get better ranges modded than RF20s, but Shadow Ghost's mod claims to get 55-60' flat or something. I only own an RF20 (two, actually), but based on what I've read the PC is the better gun, although you may want to just try them and see which you like better.
