Not really. Nerfing is probably the only "Nerdy" thing I do. I don't think it is nerdy, but some (most) people who do not nerf would think it is. Other things I do:
Hockey
Scouts
COD WAW.
I don't think most of the people I met at HbH were nerdy at all. FA_24 is a body builder type, Tank Rat has a lot of piercings/tatoos, dumpster seemed like the track/running type. No, In general, I do not believe that nerfers are nerdy.

Yeah. Complete BS. It makes Ice look like a prophet of truth. No way did he fit 5 springs in there, unless he just shoved random springs in places. The way it hit the camera, I can tell that the range is maybe max 95ft. A 200ft ls would have broken the camera. Don't believe me? take a titan and shoot your camera off a dresser, and see if it survives. It won't.

Id mod one if I were you. Keep the rest. But who knows, I don't think they are going to phase out the NF anytime soon, and it took the LNL years to become the popular gun it is today. By then you may no longer nerf. And With your huge sale, you could easily afford new NFs.
By the way, you don't have to put the goofy code after the name of the gun.
Example: Maverick Rev6. Leave out the rev6. Everyone will still know what you are talking about.

In the words of keef: " IF I hear one more time that someone gets 100ft out of an AT3K, I will beat a baby with a broken crossbow".
I hit 110 consistently with my TURRETED 2k that has the airflow mod and tank extension. 3Ks will never hit 100ft. At HbH, I was using a 2k, and Rixon was using a 3k. I was outshooting him everytime. At the end I was using some ass darts to try to hit a garbage can 100ft or so away. I could hit it with my 2k, but not the 3k.
The 2k tank is smaller, but releases air faster, making for higher range. 2ks are BY FAR the best guns in the airtech line.

Anyone who was at HbH2 will likely remember my AT2K. I also had a coupler glued in the back, and I had a stock made out of CPVC. Well, it broke off first round. The coupler stocks just aren't sturdy enough for wars. If you wanted it to be sturdy, I would reccomend epoxy puttying the stock into the coupler.

I do have 2 stock ones, so I will most likely try this. I can't on my primary 2k as it is RSCB'd but the others, why not. It seems to work. Excellent job.

I remember reading an article long ago about the advantages of an AT3K. The AT3K really may be the best all around primary to carry around. While reliable springers (like the crossbow) are great, if you miss, you can be in a tight spot. The AT3K's auto-rotating turret does a lot to help this. It also gets great range. Pretty soon I'll be posting my version of the "one pump" AT3K that is so awesome it's almost unfair.
Ill look forward to that.
I attempted your truly awesome SSM mod, but failed, so I integrated it into my LS.
Works like a charm.
Back on topic, I didn't know that the AT3k had an auto rotating turret, as TRU's description made it sound like a manual rotating one.

I use my modded LS with a switch shot max integrated for a primary, and my ppk'd NF for a secondary.
The AT3Ks come in twin packs, while the recon is obviously by it's self.
Both are 19.99 at TRU.

Most people do not use copper. The whole point of a barrel replacement is to have a better fit on the darts, to build up sufficient pressure behind the dart to propel it farther. Oh and fix your spelling, and capitalization, and don't use abbreviations such as y for why. It is all in the code of conduct, which you should read.
#226034 Barrel Length Of Bbbb Rcsb Clipped?

Just to clarify a little: Your dead space is preventing the 130ft ranges you seek. You may be able to get 130ft out of a single'd PLUGGED BBBB, but never out of a even single'd unplugged BBBB. Your ranges are exceptional for not having the pump plugged, and having an RSCB clip on it. My RSCB BBBB maxed out at 85ft. Im unsure if you could plug the pump on this, depends on what war you are attending. Some may say it is OK due to the added dead space, therefore a decrease in range/power.
Onto your barrel: You are using CPVC, if my eyes do not decieve me. CPVC can be a great barrel material, but not for air guns. Perhaps your FBR is really thin, but usually, PETG or 9/16 brass is better for airguns. Airguns= looser barrel material. 1 foot of CPVC will probably kill some range, try switching the barrel material or cutting down the barrel to 8 or 9 inches.

Im sure someone has probably done this before, but I found a neat way to shoot stefans and stock darts, and not just stick the stock dart in the end of the barrel. On this barrel, the darts go all the way down, and it has a good fit at the bottom. The way you do this is get 8 inches of PVC, and 3 inches of petg or brass. Then you glue the petg or brass into the bottom of the PVC and you are done. This enables stock darts to slide all the way down the PVC, and also provides the tight fit on stefans that PVC does not provide.
Cool idea or stupid waste of a post?

I had always wondered how 3/4 CPVC worked acting as 1/2 PVC.... Are the OD's the same? If I am not mistaken, PVC is measured by ID, and CPVC is measured by OD. Does 1/2 CPVC fit in 3/4 CPVC? I would expect that it does, but again I may be mistaken about the measuring method.
Good job, hope to get shot by it at mass4.

Keef is right about the coupler. They are the best, and if you nest something in them, will be awesome with micros. If you want to use megas like I said, I would just use the PVC. This Roseart thing sounds interesting, but the better seal gluing it would give is really not going to add 20ft to the range. I would PVC coupler it if I were you.

Looking forward to something awesome from this blaster, so keep working on it! Good start to it, but I want more range!
Im sure the range will go up once I add the new spring (It was a replacmemt for my sawtooth, which also has a tiny plunger tube) cut off the front of the gun where the faux barrel is, and work on the shells a little more.
I think this thing could break 70ft with enough mods.

Ok, as K9turrent described, the BBCB is a pretty good stock gun. I can vouch for it hitting 30ft flat on several occasions out of the box. Well, it's time to change that to something a little higher.
STEP 1. Remove all your screws. There are an obscene amount. No caps or anything. Here is a pic of the internals to reference:
So go ahead and rip out the plunger tube. One thing I found iteresting is the spring (which is pretty weak, I actually do have a replacement for it) is tapered at one end. One end is wider than the other. Fit a dremel drill bit into your dremel and widen the hole at the end of the plunger tube:
Don't over do this. It will ruin the seal with the shells. I also liked how all the moving parts were very well lubed. There was no need to apply lube to the plunger head. Put some etape on it, but I was out so I didn't.
Now, believe it or not, we are done with internal modifications. Close it up, and make sure it rotates well. I haven't had any skipping problems, it is like the razorbeast on crack.
Next, the shells. Well, they are buzbee shells that snap together. They have huge restrictors. When I put my hand on the end of the barrel and fire with no dart, I can feel a good burst of air hit it. With a shell in, nothing. Take that same dremel drill bit and take it to the hole in the back of each shell. Make it look something a little cleaner than this:
There is a ring on the back of the shell, get rid of all the plastic in that, and drill out the barrel post.
Now take your dremel sanding bit and sand the shit out of the inside of the shell, enough to fit some PETG in. End result should look like this:
Now take a small piece of 17/32 brass and cut it to about 1/2 inch. Glue it into the back of the PETG:
Cut the PETG down to just overlaping the end of the shell:
Hot glue it in there. Clean up any residue glue on the lip, or it won't rotate properly.
Rinse and repeat 29 more times. I only did it twice before doing the write up. I did one without the brass too, accuracy went up.
You are done now.
Now the part you have all been waiting for: Ranges.
I don't have a good length halway in my house, nor an open area to test it in. My longest hallway is 35ft long, and the darts hit the end of it with a bit of drop and a good smack. Im going to guess 50-55ft. The spring can definitely be replaced, and the plunger seal isn't the best either. The faux barrel also kills range a bit.
Expect another episode of the BBCB in a few days.

The problem with flexible connections on the outlet of any firing port is that they're ... flexible. When the blaster fires, it will absorb part of the energy.
I think he is reffering to the straw mod on the mav: Putting it inside the plunger tube, in this case the CPVC. Wrapping it in tape a bunch of times and gooping it into the cpvc connections might improve ranges.
I really like this, I hope beserkers come to Canada soon.
As for the pump, just do like Rork does with his decrapified MMs. The pump can be in the same place.
Just for clarification, you pump the gun, cycle the shotgun style grip at the front, and then fire?

Hot glue won't EVER cut it. It may seal for a bit, but it isn't meant to hold pressure and will weaken over time. Goop is my sealant of choice, but epoxy works too. Vinyl tubing will bond to almost all nerf plastics with pvc/abs solvent weld. That shit won't EVER come off. Be sure to sand down the parts you are epoxying tho. Don't do that, and the epoxy probably won't work.
