#249224 Can I Cut This Off?

Posted by tatertotguy on 31 August 2009 - 06:52 PM in Modifications

As long as your absolutly sure it isnt part of the tank. That is the noob mistake that I made with my rotorocket, I didn't know what was the tank and what wasn't.



#181766 Mms 1100

Posted by tatertotguy on 05 October 2008 - 05:15 PM in Modifications

I picked up this nice marshmallow shooter at the thrift store for 80 cents. It came with some foam pellets that didn't go very far. The plunger pull is massive it puts out a lot of air pressure. Here's the mod.

Tools:
Dremel
hot glue or some epoxy

Materials:
cpvc coupler
a piece of fbr or some foam

First cut off the front end where it narrows Dont cut it flush with the blue plastic piece that holds the front on. Then take the ammo tube off the back and shove your piece of fbr or your foam in the back of the place where the air comes out don't shove it in too far because it will cut off air flow. Next fill the back with hot glue. Then put your coupler on the front add a bungee and your done.
Here's pictures.
This shows the coupler on the front and the bungee placement.

THis picture shows the massive plunger pull.

Sorry about the picture size.



#195719 Range Shot

OK I'll work on changing it.



#195717 Range Shot

Posted by tatertotguy on 12 December 2008 - 08:27 PM in Modifications

I recently picked this gun up it has the ability to angle the barrel while keeping the rest of the gun horizontal (it has a protractor like thing on the front to precisely measure the angle).
Materials:
cpvc
coupler
e-tape
M10 washer
super glue

Here it is unprimed.

And here it is angled and primed.

It even has realistic sights!
The internals are very simple here is the catch and trigger.[img]http://http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m384/swadja__2008/2008_1212angleshot0002.jpg[/img]
Next I replaced the plastic washer to hold the spring in the plunger tube with a metal metric (M10) I found at Ace, to add reinforcement. I also stretched the stock spring.
[img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m384/swadja__2008/2008_1212angleshot0003.jpg[/img]
Next I cut a 2.5" piece of cpvc and put a coupler on it and wrapped the coupler in e-tape.
[img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m384/swadja__2008/2008_1212angleshot0007.jpg[/img]
Then to make a better seal around the hollow post I put an old stock dart in the cpvc (without the top).
[img]http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m384/swadja__2008/2008_1212angleshot0006-1.jpg[/img]
Then I super glued the coupler at the front of the stock barrel.
Here it is finished.

I don't have official ranges yet because it is dark out I will post them tomorrow.
Sorry about the pic size.



#195824 Range Shot

Posted by tatertotguy on 13 December 2008 - 10:49 AM in Modifications

I think you'd get better results if you cut the tube short and shove the barrel all the way into the orange part on top. There's a lot of dead space there.

Couplers make it easier to reload because you don't have to ram rod the dart.
There isn't that much dead space. The point of the mod was to still keep the gun as long as possible.
The stock ranges are about ten feet.



#165192 Armadillo Run

Posted by tatertotguy on 29 July 2008 - 03:26 PM in Off Topic

This game is really fun but in order to be good you must have a good understanding of physics.



#163891 Great Vulcan Deal

Posted by tatertotguy on 23 July 2008 - 02:53 PM in General Nerf

I was looking around on the internet and I found the Vulcan for $39.95 on Wal-Mart.com with free shipping!



#203181 At2k/3k Queston

Posted by tatertotguy on 13 January 2009 - 10:21 PM in Modifications

First of all the tank sizes are different the 2k has a smaller tank. Second you have to manually rotate the turret on the 2k whereas the 3k has a rotating mech. That is about it other than the location of the pumps.



#162495 Unsticking Stuck Barrel Material

Posted by tatertotguy on 12 July 2008 - 10:38 AM in Modifications

I don't know if you've solved the issue yet but if you dipped the part in boiling water as per F_A24 instruction, then quickly take it out, and spray the brass with a can of compressed air turned upside-down. It should spray a column of really cold(like -200 degrees) air that would quickly cool the brass and shrink it.


Chances are that really cold air will also make the plastic crack.


The plastic could not only crack but this process could make the brass brittle and it could shatter if you tried pulling on it with pliers right after you sprayed it with the really cold air.



#240002 Mnno-summer 09

Posted by tatertotguy on 03 July 2009 - 06:26 PM in Nerf Wars

Alas I can't.



#200713 The Firepike

Posted by tatertotguy on 02 January 2009 - 10:38 PM in Modifications

Its nice how the tanks fit in the pvc. I also discovered that a at2k tan fits in a titan barrel perfectly.



#203603 Where Do I Find Frb

Posted by tatertotguy on 15 January 2009 - 05:09 PM in Homemades

#164468 How Well Does Omc's Petg Fit Stock Darts?

#181768 Brass Cutting

Posted by tatertotguy on 05 October 2008 - 05:20 PM in Modifications

The problem your all having with pipe cutters is that you over tighten them. You need to gradually increase the tightness on the brass as you cut.



#175019 New Spy Gear Blaster

Posted by tatertotguy on 04 September 2008 - 08:33 PM in General Nerf

I bet that grenade would really stun the room with its horrible, deadly plastic shapnel!!! That looks like something you could make.



#186361 Possible Mod To A Marshmallow Gun

Posted by tatertotguy on 29 October 2008 - 08:53 PM in Modifications

I modded a marshmallow gun simmilar, I don't see why it wouldn't work.



#187066 Alternitive For Spray Painting In The Winter

Posted by tatertotguy on 02 November 2008 - 06:49 PM in Modifications

#247813 Berserker Mod

#242121 Silencing A Crossfire

Posted by tatertotguy on 15 July 2009 - 08:49 PM in Modifications

Cameras don't have enough voltage to knock you out. They just burn you where it touches I know from experience.



#181450 What Is A Silencer? And A Breach Idea.

Posted by tatertotguy on 04 October 2008 - 11:54 AM in Modifications

A barrel with lots of holes in it is a muzzle break, it reduces the recoil of the gun like so. The gases being forced forward go backwards out of the holes and fight the recoil.



#249222 Lbb Coupler Extension With Nf Integration

Posted by tatertotguy on 31 August 2009 - 06:47 PM in Modifications

Good mod, it is really cleanly integrated. If you gave it a new paint job it would look really good.



#165648 ''i Can Read Your Mind''

Posted by tatertotguy on 31 July 2008 - 12:13 PM in Off Topic

#163467 Message To The General Public - Regarding Spud Guns.

Posted by tatertotguy on 20 July 2008 - 06:57 PM in Homemades

With Nerf guns you can't almost burn your eyebrows off, or dent the side of your neighbors wooden garage siding. What fun is a giant fun where flames shoot out the barrel if you can't shoot it at people? I own a potato gun and it is pretty fun but you can't shoot it in the city.



#180236 Mnno Recap Thread.

Posted by tatertotguy on 28 September 2008 - 05:51 PM in Nerf Wars

The MNNO was awesome. Just about as awesome as my quad whopper from BK.
Pros:great weather
no guns breaking
getting a ride to BK
shooting Gage with my SM1500 (just kidding)
lots of fun rounds
Cons:the stair infection complete with ground bee hive :D
getting hit in the balls with the Ultimator point blank
freaking asian golf or whatever it was

It was awesome I can't wait till the next one.



#162254 Nerf Recons

Posted by tatertotguy on 10 July 2008 - 05:32 PM in General Nerf

The recon is a good gun it was kind of tricky to mod (partialy because it was one of my first mods) but now I am getting pretty good ranges.



#162436 What Is This Nerf Gun?

Posted by tatertotguy on 11 July 2008 - 06:24 PM in General Nerf
