#359957 Springers that can use hoppers

Posted by Eightdotno on 16 May 2017 - 11:41 AM in Darts and Barrels

What exactly is the triple shot?

Airzone triple shot https://imgur.com/gallery/11wTT
This thing.



#359918 Springers that can use hoppers

Posted by Eightdotno on 15 May 2017 - 11:33 AM in Darts and Barrels

My list:
sledge fire, dual strike, expand a blast, ERTL PAS, air zone quadshot, big bad bow, the origional longshot (if your confused about this look it up, putting a hopper on a longshot is a thing),and most the origional nerf 1995 crossbow.



#359337 What barrel to use?

Posted by Eightdotno on 20 April 2017 - 11:30 AM in Darts and Barrels

1/2 in pvc may work, I would recommend schedule 80 for its nice fit around the dart although schedule 80 is hard to come by unless you got to a special plumbing store. Pex pipe can also get a nice dart seal, but pex pipe is only good for shorter barrels because most pex pipe is a flexible tube.



#361332 Vulcan Not Firing All Darts

Posted by Eightdotno on 18 August 2017 - 12:30 PM in Modifications

So the other day I descided to mod my Vulcan. I bypassed the electrical locks and replaced everything with 16 gauge wire and put in a 3S lithium battery tray running on three EBLs and I also put in a micro switch behind the trigger. I then opened up the gearbox taking out the air restrictor and Keeping the stock spring and threading on a old maverick spring Ito the stock one. Also I glued the clutch together and I put silicone grease around the seal that goes over the belt. then when I went to fire it only 10 darts came out of the whole 25 dart belt. Does any one know what the problem may be?

There are 3 notable problems you may be experiencing,
1. Youe vulcan may be pushing out as much air as it needs to fire your darts, putting a maverick spring around the stock spring may be the problem, it could be that it's not letting your vulcan not get sufficient compression, try taking out the maverick spring and see if that works.
2. Youe darts are too loose, the problem may not be with the vulcan, but your with your darts, what kind of darts are you using?
3. Your belt may not be getting a good enough seal around the plunger tube, you can test this by firing your vulcan, and looking at the belt feed while it's firing, if the plunger tube does not seal up with the end of the belt, that's the problem.



#361472 Anyone Play MLB: The Show on the PS Vita?

Posted by Eightdotno on 01 September 2017 - 12:31 PM in Off Topic

If the title applies to you, have you ever experienced freezing issues on load screens or error messages while watching replays of a particular play, such as a home run? I'm playing the 2014 version of the game, but I'm asking if anyone has this problem in any version, given how rare this console is.
 
Anyone have freezing issues in general on their Vita and if so, how did you fix it?
 
Thanks!

I just have 1 question, why did you ask this on nerg hayven? Sony or the maker of the game could help serverly, or you could look up the problem on google or youtube, but nerf hayven is probably not the place to start looking for answers.



#361431 Awfuls round blasters

Posted by Eightdotno on 29 August 2017 - 12:35 PM in General Nerf

The awfuls rounds at the wars I go to allow lemon blasters, so I use my slingfire, which jams almost every 2 darts, and is missing the screw that holds the stock on the blaster.



#361413 Awfuls round blasters

Posted by Eightdotno on 28 August 2017 - 12:12 PM in General Nerf

My choices are the slingfire(idk if mines a lemon, but the blaster constantly jams with new darts and the grip is also way to small for a 2 handed blaster), the centurion, and the tek 3.



#360066 star wars kyn erso blaster imr upgrade?

Posted by Eightdotno on 23 May 2017 - 11:31 AM in Modifications

You could do what drac did and put a bunch of resistors befor the lights and sounds.



#359916 Weird ammo I need to launch.

Posted by Eightdotno on 15 May 2017 - 11:17 AM in Darts and Barrels

I need a paper airplane barrel for my drain blaster, any ideas on how to build one?

 

And this is technically not off topic since paper airplanes are a dart, and I need a barrel to launch them.
 




#359975 Weird ammo I need to launch.

Posted by Eightdotno on 17 May 2017 - 11:29 AM in Darts and Barrels

For a Drain Blaster, maybe you can find a small straw that could be inserted in the back of the plane. That way, the airflow is directly to the rear of the plane. But, a drain blaster exerts so much air that the paper would rip, or the plane would go flying like crazy.
Or, you could like flatten a piece of pvc and shove the plane into it?

I like the idea of using straws, but how would I attach them to the plane without adding to much weight?
And also silly, I need this for a paper based ammo war im going to in a few weeks.



#360033 Weird ammo I need to launch.

Posted by Eightdotno on 21 May 2017 - 05:14 PM in Darts and Barrels

Also the paper based war has been canceled, due to someone setting a tree on fire at the park where it was being hosted.



#359994 Weird ammo I need to launch.

Posted by Eightdotno on 17 May 2017 - 09:42 PM in Darts and Barrels

You need a long, low pressure acceleration, or you'll just destroy the paper.

Also, this exists: https://www.youtube....h?v=J7K91g8yG_w

Where can I get this monstrosity?



#360065 Recon CS-6 $ Value ?

Heck you could even sell it on nerf haven if you want.



#359806 Screw Ports - How to reconnect?

Posted by Eightdotno on 10 May 2017 - 11:43 AM in Modifications

I would suggest for this siuation, that you to saw off the broken marts that are stuck, drill out what's left, and then use some kind of bondo like material to make a new port.



#359776 Screw Ports - How to reconnect?

Posted by Eightdotno on 09 May 2017 - 11:36 AM in Modifications

Can I get a picture of the problem, I have delt with messed up screw ports befor, the situation really depends on if the screws can go into the port, if the port is bent, or if the port is cracked.



#361429 Nerf martini henry.

Posted by Eightdotno on 29 August 2017 - 12:27 PM in Modifications

Sounds like a converted sentinel.

I originally wanted to use a sentinel, but the problem is that the boomco darts would spiral out of control due to the size of the plunger tube, if I wanted to use that i would have to keep in the stock spring, which would mean less power.also I would have to pay $40 on ebay because no store in my town sells sentinels(trust me, I've looked), so since I aleredy have a lemon slingfire I found at a goodwill for $3, I would like to use that.



#361444 Nerf martini henry.

Posted by Eightdotno on 30 August 2017 - 12:43 PM in Modifications

 
Drill out the stock breech and insert a section of Xploders barrel into it. Cut a large loading slot and remove the dart tooth and fine-tune.

Okay, but what about a sealed breech?
I primary just now need to know what kind of pvc let's exploderz barrels fit in it and I'm golden to start making s true nerf martini henry.



#361424 Nerf martini henry.

Posted by Eightdotno on 29 August 2017 - 12:51 AM in Modifications

This is something I have always thought about doing ever since I got my slingfire, a lever action breech fed single shot gun that fires boomco darts (straws?), and can hold some ammo on the side of it, but u have literally no idea how the breech mechanism would work for it opening up forward during the prime, but then again, this would be the first useable breech loading primary that I have made (by "primary", I mean I have only done breech loading absolvers for things like nitefinder's and drain blasters when asked).
Any suggestions on where to start? Or has anyone else done this?



#361350 Titan rifle.

Posted by Eightdotno on 20 August 2017 - 04:36 PM in Modifications

I swear, if your going to put a titan in a sling fire, imma loose my mind.



#361333 Titan rifle.

Posted by Eightdotno on 18 August 2017 - 12:43 PM in Modifications

Around the time of the mod contest, mu neighbor asked me how to make a titan rifle,I had just recently bought one at goodwill,I was originally going to give it to captain xaiver, but I figured why not, so I did a video on it, and posted it to youtube, and on the side was also my entry for the 2017 mod contest, I had planned something else, but this was something I had aleredy put together, and I could not afford anything else at the time.
So here's the video i did on it.



#360046 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 22 May 2017 - 11:22 AM in Modifications

I got to thinking last night, instead of an rscb, how about an inline rscb?
Instead of using a pvc tee and elbow, why not slide the rscb in another piece of pvc?



#360074 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 23 May 2017 - 07:49 PM in Modifications

Figured that I'd make a tutorial how ro make an inline rscb, since I could only find 1 mention of it, it makes the sledgefire hit a bit better, but not by much, I would love to improve upon the design, since you do not have to point it down and then back up, like a normal rscb, but I have no idea how, if anyone could make a more improved inline then I did, then please let me know.

And also, I thought I could replace the stock spring with a [k26], but I heard that it doesn't make it shoot much further.
I am also using both full length dartzone darts, and half length dartzone darts because they are cheap, and hit pretty well using the blasters I use.



#360035 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 21 May 2017 - 05:44 PM in Modifications

I am also using schedule 80 1/2 in pvc pipe as both the barrel and the rscb, it only looks like brass/copper because it's been out side sitting under a tree for more then a decade and has been thoroughly cleaned.



#360031 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 21 May 2017 - 04:58 PM in Modifications

I have been working on this blaster for about 14 hours, any thoughts on how to make it shoot farther?

#360034 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 21 May 2017 - 05:22 PM in Modifications

1. Use a cpvc/pvc tee. It appears in the photo that you glued brass/copper RSCB assembly to an elbow. Using a tee will definitely help the seal and allow you to experiment with different barrel/chamber lengths.
2. shorten the stub between the elbow and the plunger tube. This reduces deadspace.
3. Seals on sledgefires tend to be pretty good stock. Did you remove the air restrictor?
4. Go to a hardware store with the stock spring and see if you can find something stronger that you can replace it with.

1: I tried using a tee, it just makes the pump much harder.
2: the stub is that long for more ammo to be in the rscb.
3:the rscb is glued in, and yes I removed the air restrictors.
4: most of the springs at my local hardware stores are not that long or are only good for reverse plungered blasters. And also because the prime on this thing with the stock spring is extremely heavy.
ALSO, this blaster was bought from goodwill for $6



#360040 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 22 May 2017 - 12:05 AM in Modifications

I've seen people fire demolisher missiles off sledge fires befor with almost no issues, this thing has enough power to use an rscb.



#360037 Proof of concept blaster that I need help with.

Posted by Eightdotno on 21 May 2017 - 06:29 PM in Modifications

You should be fine with the stock sledgefire spring as it is fairly heavy (10kg). Other then that, you should smother epoxy on all of the joints to get a really good seal.

Currently I do not have access to expoxy, would hot glue work?
Also it has a great dart fit with the barrel, not that much air comes out of it when I dry fire it though.



#358994 My strongarms cylinder pop out won't work.

Posted by Eightdotno on 03 April 2017 - 11:19 AM in Modifications

Does anyone know how to make this work, all I did is remove the dart pegs to make it compatible with stefans. It does pop out a tiny bit I'm guessing it's the air restrictor but idk I would prefer not to have to remove them. Here is the picture and yes I know that it does not have the barrel thingy. Thank you for whoever can help!


It is the air restrictor, if your going to remove the dart pegs in a revolver, you have to remove the air restrictor. It could also be a broken pop out mechanism, but it's probably the air restrictor.



#359061 My strongarms cylinder pop out won't work.

Posted by Eightdotno on 06 April 2017 - 11:28 AM in Modifications

You have to pad the plunger tube and plunger head, otherwise yes you will break it



#359018 My strongarms cylinder pop out won't work.

Posted by Eightdotno on 04 April 2017 - 11:26 AM in Modifications

You can pad the plunger head with some rubber I'd craft foam to prevent that though.



#360208 The Friday Night Trooper Blues

Posted by Eightdotno on 30 May 2017 - 11:36 AM in Modifications

How heavy is your catch spring? You might want to double it or get a heavier one if it ain't catching.



#360735 Quick catch mechanism question

Posted by Eightdotno on 23 June 2017 - 11:02 AM in Modifications

I had this same problem, my solution was to not have multiple springs, and just put in 1 really strong one, your problem probably is that the springs are not getting enough compression, so you should either get a more powerful spring to replace all 3, or loose 1, or cut down one of the springs.



#361357 DIY Combo Mod: Jolt+Stealth Grip = RPG attachment

Ahoi
My Recon Mk II looked a bit empty in the front, so I came up with this, and made a tutorial for it.
Homemade Grenade Launcher attachment for your nerf blasters. Let me know what you think:

Do this for a big shock and you have the best attachment I can own.



#361432 Stampede Repairs

Posted by Eightdotno on 29 August 2017 - 12:39 PM in General Nerf

Thanks for that, one of the gears is a bit worn, any place I might get replacements?

Ebay may have old stampedes in disrepair, or you could get one of those metal gear kits for the stampede if you can find them, which haven't been sold in forever to my knowledge. If you have access to a 3d printer, you can print stampede gears.



#359663 Air Tank for Alphahawk?

Posted by Eightdotno on 03 May 2017 - 11:26 AM in Modifications

Big blast tanks work really well, along with blastzooka tanks.
But there are many other tanks that work extremely well.1st gen panther tanks will make youe blaster hit 90 fps If modded right, but they are hard to find. So I would recommend a blastzooka tank.



#361942 Dual strike rumors

Posted by Eightdotno on 11 November 2017 - 06:57 PM in Modifications

A couple of days ago at a nerf war, one of my freinds told me that the smart ar in the dual strike was extremley similar to the ones in the messenger in the matter that you can take off the barrels to access the smart ar and in theory brass the barrel and still have a smart ar. And today I got to testing this and I can confirm these rumors are indead true.

My apologies it was supposed to be messenger not sweet revenge.



#359339 What was the first known homemade?

Posted by Eightdotno on 20 April 2017 - 11:42 AM in Homemades

By the title I mean the first war practical homemade. I was looking at the topic of the first nerf mod when this came to my mind, I would imagine it would be somewhat similar to a bow and arrow. I have not dabbled into the history of homemade to much,the oldest I know of is the FAR from 2005.



#359583 Brass breech apollo?

Posted by Eightdotno on 29 April 2017 - 11:39 PM in Modifications

I have a rival apollo, and I have experimented with brass and rival roulds on airblasters, I would like to bring that same idea to mag fed rival blasters, but I have never even attempted a brass breech, so can anyone give me some advice on how to make a brass breech?



#358712 Roughcut gear removal?

Posted by Eightdotno on 22 March 2017 - 08:30 PM in Modifications

I would, but sadly I no longer have my roughcut, thus someone decided ro take my unlabeled roughcut from an hvz game.



#358693 Roughcut gear removal?

Posted by Eightdotno on 22 March 2017 - 11:29 AM in Modifications

I've had this idea in my head for a while now about replacing the gears in a roughcut with some kind of steel bar,
It's hard to explain but if anyone who has opened a roughcut (like me) then maybe you know what I'm talking about.
