Well...3 people said that hotglue alone wasn't good enough, then this is bad. The entire gun is held together with hot glue and e-tape, it has started leaking so I need to fix it!
I just have a few questions:
1.) Will Plumbers Goop help?
2.) Will epoxy work?
3.) Where do you buy Plumbers Goop
4.) Can you buy epoxy at your local hardware store (Home Depot, Ace, Lowes)
5.) Will epoxy PUTTY work?
6.) Where can you buy EPOXY PUTTY?
7.) Out of all the materials used to glue the gun together (Plumbers Goop, epoxy, epoxy putty or PVC adhesive) which one would be best for this job?
8.) If PVC adhesive will do the job, then is there any specific type that I should get?
9.) Last question, WOULD IT BE BEST if I bought all that crap and used it all together?!?!?

#201515 Vulcan Box Mod

I forgot about the Fully auto rule...dangit...Good work buddy,
If you want to mount it horizontally... maybe instead of using the cookie box you could use
something lighter, yet durable...
When your goalie in T.P.B. your going to dominate!
Thanks for reminding me, so I don't have to borrow Falcon's Pistolsplat.
I could've used those wipes boxes (made outa plastic) yet, I didn't think of the horizontal thing after I did this "mod"
It's weird, before I put them together the box could hold 50 by itself, then another 25 seperately, maybe if I make a 75 dart chain, then I could do that...for the "catching the chain" after it shoots the dart, I like the look of the long chain hanging down...It kinda seems like it can hold more than just a 50 dart chain. Otherwise, it's pretty nice. Have you considered some way to catch the chain after it leaves the gun?
Well...i'm not allowed to mod the vulcan itself, just the chain/box...and it handles a war situation very well...I think it has somewhat of an "intimidation factor" like a shotgunned Titan, hornet or crossbow...I personally just leave about 15 just hanging off the end and just stuff the rest on the box and i do just fine. Also, doesn't that make the Vulcan even MORE unwieldy?
Don't be afraid of it's internals, they don't pop out when you open the case like the recon, it just take a lot of screws to open.
I'm also curious as to how the Vulcan handles a war situation. It seems to me like it would take too long to reload to be effective.
Although you constantly overestimate its range and tell everyone that it doesn't really go as far as you think it will...It is a really GREAT weapon for CTF, just have a Vulcan and an Absolver ready...or maybe a big salvo. Lastly, if you are using a vulcan, rushing is a must and if you try to sit/stand there doing nothing and hope that people come to you, your most likely going to be picked off by a PAS/crossbow...not unless you can dodge.

Backstory:
Well after a few wars using my stock vulcan, I decided it was time for a mod. Since looking at pictures of the vulcan internals scared me, I decided to mod the chain. After removing the pegs of my 5 chains, I still wasn't satisfied. During nerf wars I would have 25 darts loaded, but it would all go so fast, I knew how to connect the chains, but it wouldn't work unless you have a box to put them in, so here it is:
Pretty self-explanitory, the box is hot glued to an old cookie thing, a hole is cut out in the bottom of the Vulcan box, and it works!
The reason why I didn't cut the whole bottom part of the box is because if I wanted to use a 25 dart chain, I could use that instead of a 50 dart chain. The only FLAW is that it would sometimes jam but the jam would clear after a few shots, I think this is because although there is a box, it still can't handle pulling the chains vertically. A possible solution to this "flaw" is to connect the box horizontally, but that would require velcro or something because that little nub isn't strong enough to hold the box and vulcan together if you were to connect the cookie thing horizontally.
Hope that made sense...

Well, I wanted a home-made, after seeing many new write-ups about "SNAPS" and such...I decided that a home-made that uses a plunger mechanism would be too complicated for me. I remembered linish22's "stefanzooka" and decided to make it...
It got less than 40' and blew up 3 times, I PM'd linish and he/she suggested to make the entire gun a home made, so this is what I came up with:
Close up of "trigger mech"
Size comparison to Vulcan:
As you can see, the bottom of the stock is an "elbow" I didn't have any more endcaps so I just filled it with Hotglue and it holds air. It uses a plugged Magstrike pump and I have to pump it about 20 times until it gets hard to pump. After my first range test today it got an average of 70-80', any shorter a barrel and it got 30-50'...which isn't good...
EDIT:
Well...I did hot glue the internal parts before putting them inside the coupler and hot glued the parts externally too, which I then covered in e-tape.
I'm guessing you're talking about that "PVC cement" stuff, well I didn't use normal SCH40, I used some "IPS" pipe (accidentally bought in thinking that it was PVC) the stuff says "350PSI @ 73 degrees F" but it also does say PVC on there...
You can buy PVC adhesive at Lowe's or something right?

Well 7'' inches is too much (from personal experience) and anything that is 3-4'' gets around 50-80' (yes, my gun changes ranges...depending on the dart) and I read a write-up that says 5''...So i'm guessin' around 3-5''I cut the coupler in half to get it in the shell when I did mine. How long of a barrel should be used???

I'm retarded...and you're a genius. I would have NEVER thought of sanding down the shell in order to fit the coupler on, I just cut the shell, left a little nub so that the Plunger would stay and hot glued the hell outa the thing. In the picture it is currently using a 4'' CPVC barrel, I am now using some brass.
EDIT: In your write-up, you had to actually work to remove the rubber part covering the plunger tube? That's weird 'cause mine was easily removed, no adhesive whatsoever.

Thats amazing because right now it says "7 minutes left" and i've only been downloading it for probably a minute...AND I HAVE A WINDOWS VISTAFor the record, I downloaded it yesterday, and have had a hard time stopping playing it. I highly recommend it. Very refreshing for someone who plays FPS (shooters) almost exclusively. It takes ages to download though. It took my high speed gaming laptop almost an hour.
Not that they suck or anything...
Okay, i'll play. I used to be obsessed with runescape, which is now a gay game. But I will try this out. And I will update this post with my ratings.
Fixed that for you.I played it 5 years ago. It was gay then too.runescape, which always was and always will be a gay game.
It made me addicted. My own personal heroine. If I was still playing, I would be 250 pounds and eating twinkies.
When I read the title it was the first thing to come to mind...YO! This thread is not about RUNESCAPE! This is a totally different game! There is NO relation between them.
To the point: I downloaded the game completely, updated it with the patch thing and when I tried to play it, it didn't work...oh well

First I didn't believe that person, but then, when I finally opened my Magstrike the plunger thingy wasn't in the right place (the back part wasn't in line with the housing so it wasn't secure). After that short fix, my Magstrike was repaired and it works really well. Hope that helped!

I decided not to, because
1.) I thought it'd look retarded having a turret in the front with a single barrel (didn't think of cutting it off.......)
2.) "Rapid Fire Shotgun" with one barrel
3.) You can get the Ball gun for the same price and it has a better seal (I think?) and bigger plunger tube...
Well anyways, good mod and it looks really nice when it's singled/couplered...

Yeah, but that wouldn't really work because you'd have to hold your barrel as the 17/32 brass will easily fall out. If you put a nub of PVC on the back of the piece of brass, then you couplered your Big Blast with a PVC coupler, it'd be much more steady...
It should look somewhat like this:

9/16 Brass

Now what Kyrative said would be something like this

That'd be bad because the 17/32 would fall out easily and isn't protected.

IMO, this should've been asked in General Nerf...but it is a modification related question so...
I believe you should PVC coupler your BBB, and for a couple of reasons:
1.) If you ever wanted to switch to mega's
2.) You can nest brass
3.) (As you said) you can nest PETG
4.) I don't know about you, but I can nest CPVC in it.
(The PVC was kind of internally expanded..somehow)
If you use a CPVC coupler, then you could probably use:
1.) CPVC (well no duh...)
2.) Brass wrapped in E-tape (hey...I do it)
and...I think that's it.
But those are my opinions, you could throw it against a wall if you really wanted to.
Not saying you will or anything...

Okay, I think I know the cause of this problem and how to fix it. First off, when this happened to me, I didn't know what was wrong and the first thing that I looked at was the front of the gun. I believe that the part causing the problem is the part that connects to the original barrel, it's in the wrong spot.
I think (If I can remember correctly) it's grooves should line up with the plastic edges in the shell. If that doesn't work, try putting it more towards the front. What's causing the problem (well in my gun at least) is that the front part get's separated from the plunger tube and it conflicts with the cocking mechanism. One time, I opened my gun and the plunger tube was completely separated from the front part...to solve this I hot-glued it in place.

I think (If I can remember correctly) it's grooves should line up with the plastic edges in the shell. If that doesn't work, try putting it more towards the front. What's causing the problem (well in my gun at least) is that the front part get's separated from the plunger tube and it conflicts with the cocking mechanism. One time, I opened my gun and the plunger tube was completely separated from the front part...to solve this I hot-glued it in place.

Modifications
Well it depends on the gun that i'm going to mod. If it's like a Nite-Finder for a friend or something, i'll open it up, take out the Ar's and replace the barrel with CPVC, easy mod, done using common sense.
When I try to replicate a somewhat moderate-difficult mod (that's in my opinion of course), first, i'll see if I have the gun and materials, and I want to do the mod. Then i'll read the write up all the way through, then again while doing the mod. Now if there's something I don't like about the mod, or what the person did to the mod, I try to get around it or find a different way of doing it. An example is when I did my write up for the ERTL Rapid fire Shotgun, I couldn't remove the fastener 'cause I don't have a dremel, so I just left it there and made it a manual turret.
When I create my own mod, I don't really write down the steps or draw pictures of how it would/should look like. I just bring my camera down with me ('cause I mod in the garage) and I take pictures of random parts and use the ones that I need.
Now, when i'm thinking about modding a gun so it would be my primary I think of a few things:
1.) Is it practical to use in a nerf war? (stuff won't fall out or get snagged)
2.) Does it shoot far enough?
3.) Is it comfortable?
4.) Does it look good?
When it's a secondary
1.) Is it practical?
2.) Will it fit into my pocket/holister/sling?
3.) Does it look good?

General Nerf
Updated that post...and I speak from personal experience they are useful...Vulcan
>Stock ranges: low
>Possible ranges:low
>Modding difficulty:
Gun: high-very high
Pegs: low
>Avg. price:$30-$50
>rarity: common
>Standard position:Primary
>Rate Of Fire: moderate
>Notes: Good CTF Defense, Reload time is SLOW, Belt's get in the way during wars, if you chain drops while you're firing, you are SCREWED
The RoF is slower of a magstrike and a little (just a hair) bit slower than an RF20...
Maybe an RF20 on "single shot" Multiple chains is a MUST yet you need some place to
carry them while running around, backpacks are useful yet reloading must (or should) be
behind cover while your teamates cover you...
Useful at taking out alot of people behind cover...
It's me...DISTURBING ISN'T IT?!
