Thanks for all of your concern with safety. Now that I look back on it I realize how dangerous it was. I will probably make a Hybrid of CS's tank and this tank. But MUCH safer. I have decided to scrap this one.
THANKS AGAIN,
Jackster

I'm wondering if the clip falls back down if you try to fire off only a few shots. You know how the etape mods prevents the clip from falling back down? Well, I was wondering if cutting open the front makes the clip fit loosely so that it falls back down if you don't continuously fire.
[/quote]
Nope. Its fine even with it cut open. It only fell in for me if I shook it when the clip was up, but some etape fixed that.
Thom - Thanks. Also chopping it down makes is have like 7 total screws.

PSI = 60
Shots = 32
Range = 50 on average ( Non- Banded piston)
Pump time with bike pump = 20 seconds
Verdict = I have successfully completed a LPA tank for under 20 bucks! Expect a write up later today.

I have a plan to build (in a way ) a simplified and less expensive version of CS 's LPA tank. I would use this tank on my magstrike only. This tank would let me shoot alot more shots and give me the option of using a double clip.
My plan for this build was to use 1.5'' sch 40 pvc as the tank. Then on one side of this 1 foot or so section of PVC goes an end cap. A bike pump/shader valve gets drilled into the endcap and is made airtight with Plumbers goop. On the magstrike i would connect a coupling to the flexible tubing that comes out of the trigger valve , I would then attach more flexible tubing (about a 2 foot section) to the coupling then attach it to the tank. I would pump up the tank with a bike pump via the shader valve. Then when I pulled the trigger of the MS the air would be let out from the tank to the tubing that connects into the magstrike tank.
Drawing ...
Now for questions.
#1- Would I be able to pump up the tank with out the tubing bursting , considering that the air will be able to flow freely from the bike tire valve to the magstrike trigger?. I would plan on filling this tank up to around 65 psi.
#2 What would the best way be to connect the flexible tubing to the 1.5'' sch 40 PVC tank?
Will those of you that have experience with these kinda things please help me out.

#228820 Problem With Dart Making

Don't switch to Mile high foam, though. It's horrible with heat, and turns into a horrible black mess.
Don't blame the foam for your inability to correctly make stefans.
I have made easily over 7000 stefans out of Mile High with hot glue and I have melted perhaps 10 and never into a "Horrible Black Mess" just deformed the tips a bit because I put too much glue in too fast.
A LOW TEMP glue gun is ESSENTIAL to making stefans in either the felt/washer method or the BB/Hot Glue method.
Wes's Stefans are a better than yours will ever be. His are half the cost, use white easy to find foam, fly really straight and EVERY single one looks exactly the same. Also with my experience MileHigh foam tends to be quite soft and inconsistent.

Tactic #1 - Fix your grammar before I shove your mav up your @$$. But seriously , it hurts my eyes to read.
Tactic #2 - Tactics are sorta non-existant in nerf. Just get out there with some friends and find what works for you. Every ones playing style is different.
Welcome to the Haven.

I've got an ASSLOAD of this stuff. Like GALLONS. How can i find interested buyers on that site?
I have been a member of Knex Innovation (KI) for a while now. About selling your pieces we used to have a marketplace that was similar to the trading forum here on NH but I am not really sure what happened to it. Maybe try building a few models then see if you still want to sell them...
I know that the whole knex gun idea sounds lame at first but it is actually really interesting and fun once you build a few guns.
Just Try it.

Oh my gosh this is so fun! I didn't have several parts needed, or I haven't found them in my parts bin yet. So I improvivsed out the wazoo! It was soooo fun! I'll get pics in a few.
*Edit*I accidently made my gun left handed when I'm a rightie!
Glad ya' enjoyed it. What gun did you build?
I like the enormous element of customization in knex guns. While there is customization in Nerf too the ability the change EVERY single thing about your weapon makes it lots of fun. Normally when I want to fiddle around and be creative I go for K'nex. When I want to just have a simple easy ready to play thing I pick up my nerf.
I don't really know why I just wrote that...
Oh Well.

Mav is to FireFly as PhotonBurstPowerBlaster is to A2 Quickload Power blaster.
Made by the same people. Look the same. Have the same darts. Have the same clip. Have the same design.
Have the same NAME almost.
I would assume it's a springer like the PhotonBurst

Try that. I did it to one of the Eveready's they sell in the check out lane at home depot. I have had it for about 7 months now and it works really good.
Just my suggestion

Brass is good. PETG is good. Depends of what your darts fit into.

Not sure where you heard that. We all use Micros.I'm just curious as to what you use. I've heard that the East Coast sticks to megas, but I'm not sure.
Megas are marginally popular on the West Coast, but from what I've heard Micros are still primarily used.
Think he probably heard it hear Falcon's Dart Index
But I am not sure...
And to answer your question I stick to micros. Get it???
Some micros have the little sticky rubber pad that sticks to your TV or windows..... 
And yes, I do know how lame of a pun that was...

You guys, this thing is going to be really small, so we are going to just kick ass, and nerf most of the day. I NEED people to bring fold able tables to set up. kthnxbai.
I have some foldable tables. May I ask what they are for?
We are not going to use those picnic tables. We are setting everything up right next to the field.
Do we really need tables for that? MENwar is actually the only war I've been to where I put my stuff on a table. I'm sure the ground will be just as inviting as a table for blasters.
Ok. Then the ground it is. Bring foldable chairs then probably.

I'm pretty sure I can come, but one quick question: Are singled unplugged chimeras Allowed?
Yeah, I guess. A simple 2 shot attachment would be best though, although I will still let you use it singled.

I'm busy the 8th, but any other date but the 1st should be good. If you can change it then that would be great.
I accidentally put the 8th. I read the calendar wrong, as I am at camp on the 8th. I meant the 15th. You are free then right?

Royal River Park
Yarmouth , Maine 04096
Google Map -
http://maps.google.c...c5f873862981392
When:
August 15th: If someone has a problem with this date then just post below, and we might be able to change the date.
10 AM ~ to about 3PM
Stuff:
This field is pretty open , with bushes/plants for cover. The park is only 1hr and 45 min from Boston. There is a subway sandwiches/convenience store about 1/4 of a mile down the road for lunch. Lets try to get 12+ people this time. Bring your friends! The summer war was a great time and the weather was perfect. There is a pavilion at the park to put our guns and bags and other stuff, but I am thinking about bringing some card tables and other stuff so that we can set up over buy the school where we had the most fun last time. Just meet at the normal place though. There is a pair of pota-bathroom things in the park. If you have any questions then just post below.
Rules:
No singled titans or sm5k's. Bring 100+ darts. All darts must have a FULL HOT GLUE or felt tip. None of this little hot glue line crap. Wear safety glasses if you are under 18. We'll play some of the standard team deathmatch games, along with some capture the flag, and anything else that we think sounds fun. Please bring more darts than last time, because people started to run out at the end of the day. Also, we will try to do a bit more nerfing this time than last time, with mostly standard team death match in the back area of the park where we had the most fun in July. Don't be a whiny little ass.

I have no plans for the 15th, so right now the date looks good. I'll confirm my attendance closer to the war date. I'll also see if I can interest some more of my friends.
Are you really thinking about skipping, because of the suckage of the last one? You shouldn't.

Jack and I got kicked out of the park by a guy in a easter bunny suit. They didn't like us nerfing during the egg hunt.
Evil Bunny - "WHAT ARE YOU SHOOTING? IS THAT AIRSOFT!!!!!!!!!!"
Wes- "Um no... Its foam.
Evil Bunny - " ITS EASTER! AND EGG HUNT IS GOING ON! GET OUT!"
That was so funny. Happy Easter.
