Anyone ever seen this beautiful old mama-jama? Cant find a name for it or a picture anywhere on the web. It is labeled Entertech 1988. There's a red flaky buildup in the front cylinder. Looks like it shot some kinda gel or red liquid. Looks like it could be modded to shoot darts, but I don't really want to tear up a toy as old as I am until I'm sure it isn't worth more to someone else.
I know how much I miss the manta ray I had as a kid, and If someone loved this babeh the same way I just couldn't bring myself to kill it. On the other hand, the funky internals make meh want to mod it to take foam, maybe pt replacement. Throw some lights in it and go shoot the people that are always falling asleep in the living room at my buddy's house.

If you are just using two stock springs, you will need to replace them to increase performance. Run over to home depot and pick up a pack of "handyman" springs. Make sure the seal is improved, and ram rod a dart
all the way down that barrel. It should get much better. A longer barrel will also help.

Here in SE Wisco I cant find alpha troopers or specters anywhere. I'm also having a very hard time finding sspb's, quite sure that the jolt is taking over the pocket blaster spot. It's just a matter of time before most of the current N-Strike blasters are gone and new Elite versions will come out. If there's something you've been putting off getting, pick it up now. Prices should drop right around when Elite shows up, or blasters may just vanish, like the alpha trooper.
Whenever I find sspb's I buy em all, seeing as they are usually only two bucks. Cant beat the possibilities of 100+ feet for that price. (working on a pump replacement right now).
Happy hunting, and don't forget to check Craigslist!

Found this blaster and it wouldn't catch so I opened it up.
It looks as if the tension spring was just to much for the poor old plastic to hand. My question is this, has anyone repaired this break before? I found pictures and info about the blaster here and it looks like this is a common problem.

Where the post attaches to the shell is where it is broken. It is wide at the shell, and then gets smaller where it goes through the catch mech. At the widest part it also where the tension spring wraps around. I suppose a bolt running through the whole blaster would work if I rigged something up to hold the spring in the correct place, but I really wanted to maintain the look of the stock blaster.

Really glad this popped back up here right when I found two of these babies. There's one thing that bugs me though that I've never understood about clothespin triggers, how does a vertical nail get up and over the plunger head. The way I'm looking at it, it seems like it would just get stuck where the nail is and not catch.
Great mod on a widely available blaster. Seems like people have just been overlooking these because the lack of triggers when we all shoulda been rocken em. Imma go take a look at the bigger xploders models. Springer primaries in every major retailer? I'm excited.

Well it's the day before the war and I'm sure everyone is in prep mode. I am planing on bringing a few friends, and am not sure I have enough firepower for them, specifically pistols. Would appreciate anyone that could bring loaners. I have plenty of stock stuff, just not enough time to mod them all.
Also, will be bringing a few items for trade including powerclip, at2k, koosh tornado, stock longshot, and whatever else I dig out. So if your interested, haul some stuff with ya.
Looking forward to another SOOPA day, can't wait to see you all there.
P.S. Hummer, throw some funk on that mp3 tac-rail attachment this time

Use superglue or an epoxy designed for plastics. One way to get it to stick better would be to glue the cpvc end-cap into a 1/2 in pvc coupler or end-cap so the glue has more surface area to grip onto. Just cut the pvc down to the size of the cpvc end-cap. One other way I add surface area is to take a razor blade and cut many crossing grooves into both sides of where you plan to glue. Apply epoxy, press and hold together so that the glue gets into all the cuts.
The rounded corner of cpvc end-caps make them trickier to get to stick. You may want to get rid of the end cap all together and go with a half of a coupler. Hope this helps.

While out shopping at Goodwill I came across the Wagner Paint Mate, and for only $3 why not take a stab at making it into a blaster.
It sat around my house for a while. Occasionally I'd pick it up, look at it, think "How can I put a spring in this thing?" Then it would go back to collecting dust. Inspiration struck after seeing the superpac and having one of those "DUH" moments where I realized that that it could be bow powered. Found what I needed on how to build it from Kane's Aabow and Ice Nine's bow powered +bow.
Hello Painter's Bow
Pretty much hacked off the roller part and glued what I believe was a 1in to 1/2in bushing (with a lil e-tape) into the plunger tube. Constructed the tee from a 1/2in input to 3/4 output tee, two segments of 3/4in pvc bored out to fit the 1/2in bow arms. Slid all that together anddrilled dremeled down the 1/2in input of the tee. The hopper attaches to the plunger tube and then the bow arms and tee slide over the barrel.
The rope runs through vinyl tubing that itself goes into a hole dremeled into the plunger rod tube(not actually a rod).
And here is the rope connected to the bow arms.
Currently using a 12in barrel and a 7 dart hopper. Both could be larger I'm sure. With 19in of draw length, by the time the plunger head reaches it's stopping point it shoots at least two darts, sometimes more. It may just be do damn big. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
This was my first attempt at any king of homemade, and it was a great warmup. The drill press I recently acquired is currently packed behind a bunch of crap in my storage locker so I had no option but to use a dremel for all the "drilling." It came out pretty clean for just eyeballing all the holes. I considering adding some kind of handle and catch system, but it needs to be firing correctly first.

I am using the original plunger head that was built into the paint tube. It is simply two o-rings on the plunger rod-tube that get perfect seal and move very smoothly.
Took it outside last night and took a few shots down the alley. Estimated range would be around 100ft with the first dart, 50 with the second, and twenty with the third. It was consistently shooting three darts each time. This morning I shortened the bow strings until I got it to shoot fast enough that only one dart fired. That lasted for about three shots when the pvc began to lose its elasticity and it began to fire two, then three darts again. I will have to go pick up some 3/4 in cpvc before work and see how that holds it's shape tonight.
I can see the glue beginning to separate from the pt so I will have to throw some screws in the bushing and a little padding on the ph to make it last. The draw is so long that I cannot use my left hand to hold the bow arm and instead have to hold the tube making it more difficult to aim, although I did manage to him my old lady at that 100ft mark with no problem. I'm think I'll cut it down a bit to make it overall more comfortable and functional.
I'm sure this same kind of bow could be made using one of those pool water guns that are pull to fill and push to shoot. Plus they have those at the dollar store. I would like to add a trigger, and could make a catch point easily by cutting a notch out of the rod-tube. Using a clothespin is out of the question though because the nail would just tear up the plastic. I'll have to find some other way to make it work.

The Painter's bow
4ft 3/4in cpvc arms into a 1/2in to 3/4in pvc tee that has bored out 3/4in pvc in the outputs. 9in of draw, 12in barrel, 7 dart hopper, adjustable ranges from poop to over 100ft.
Pictured with 3in pvc arms tied up to 3ft of rubber tubing. Much more compact, much tougher draw, much more scary. I definitely recommend trying out rubber tubing if you haven't yet.

If I half draw it will fire just one dart. It needs to be cut down. The front part is a check valve that will be worked into the plunger head, it is best used that way instead of rigging it up as a wye. If I did it again I would leave it attached and attach the bushing th end of that.
Going to ace tomorrow to find better bow arms as well as a new handle for the pr for when I cut it down.
Continued......
So I cut the plunger tube and tube-rod down to a 9in draw, sanded the 3/4in pieces even more on the inside to accept the 3/4in cpvc arms. This baby is beast.
It is now only shooting one dart at a time as it should. The painters bow easily hits that 100 mark, and can easily be tightened or made more loose to adjust ranges to wherever I'd like them to be.
The only downside to using a bow like this is it's size, and now that is optional as well.
The bow arms can easily be switched out for the more compact version that uses rubber tubing as the power source instead of the long arms. The full size bow is easier to draw than this, but the tubing is much smaller, and puts out the same power, if not more power that the arms.
If you haven't ever tried rubber tubing before I would suggest picking some up. This little bow blew my socks off when I installed that tubing. Friggin scary potential.

The bow arms are one continuous 4ft length with a hold drilled for the barrel to pass through. Thanks for the props.Are the bow arms one piece, with the hole for the barrel drilled through it, or are the 3/4 cpvc arms actually two separate pieces solvent welded or otherwise attached to the 3/4 pvc pieces?
I found my tubing in person at American Science and Surplus. I can't find it on their site but you may be able to. It is 9/16 OD and that is the same size as the vinyl tubing. I ran the rubber directly through where the vinyl was and am not afraid of it wearing to much because it has rather thick walls. It was around $2 a foot, and if it does break I can always buy more and make a larger hole to hold some larger vinyl to protect it.Where would one find such rubber tubing? Is it necessary to cover the rubber with vinyl like with string?

Works beautifully on a switchshot. With that tiny handle it is easy to keep your pinky ready to fire.

I'm taking a guess that your acrylic paint is old and had chunks dried in it, thus the bumpy end result. Try some fresh acrylic or if you are willing to spend a little more, hardware stores carry paint markers that have are similar to spray paint quality. These work great for detailing. You could always just spray the spray paint into a cup, or it's cap, and use a brush with that paint to do your details.

Very nice Manta, This is what I was thinking of doing with mine.

Pretty much any airgun can be boosted to be too powerful to shoot a person with. Make the tank bigger, and add a larger pump to fill the larger tank faster. The more air it puts out the longer the barrel you will need.

Nothing like the beauty of a seamless integration. Is the tank and barrel level to the rampages barrel? Is it solid, when you pump it fast can it come loose? How exactly is it attached, just cram it in there?
