#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.

#173253 "whats That Sweetness?"

Posted by tatertotguy on 28 August 2008 - 06:50 PM in Modifications

I plugged the pump on mine and at 20 pumps I'd say it gets 125' angled or more I haven't measured precisely.

#166845 New Nerfer Database

Posted by tatertotguy on 06 August 2008 - 03:13 PM in General Nerf

I think there is going to be an increase in Nerf related crime such as RF20 drive-by's and people getting sniped in their back yard by a singled Titan. This google map could be very useful.

Posted by tatertotguy on 30 July 2008 - 03:47 PM in Modifications

#165406 Legality Of Nerf Gun Modding

Posted by tatertotguy on 30 July 2008 - 01:08 PM in Modifications

The local laws in my town say that you can't discharge any weapon that launches projectiles. I shoot potato guns at my neighbors garage and the police didn't come so I think it is safe to mod nerf guns.



#165192 Armadillo Run

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

#164640 Outlet Powered Vulcan

Posted by tatertotguy on 26 July 2008 - 01:38 PM in Modifications

When I get my Vulcan in the mail I will first do basic mods then carefully move on to other forms of power.

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

Posted by tatertotguy on 25 July 2008 - 04:14 PM in General Nerf

Ask NerfCrazy (he might be gone). Why can't you use stephans?



#164466 Outlet Powered Vulcan

Posted by tatertotguy on 25 July 2008 - 04:12 PM in Modifications

I was being optomistic about the options we can use to power the Vulcan.



#164451 Outlet Powered Vulcan

Posted by tatertotguy on 25 July 2008 - 03:37 PM in Modifications

My dad is an electritian and he says if you get a 9v. transformer you can wire up the Vulcan so all you have to do is plug it in and shoot. I am also thinking of the possibility of having this be removable so you can take the transformer out and convert it back to battery power.


So, some nomenclature:

What you're talking about is not a transformer, but a power supply, and then you are correct.

The trouble with using a transformer (which is just a matched pair of coils) is that there is no rectification of AC to DC. the Vulcan runs on DC - running it on AC has the potential to seriously damage it.

So something that you could in fact do is use a 120VAC-9VAC transformer, and a piece of electronics called a "bridge rectifier" which is in fact simply four diodes which chop the AC waveform into an all-positive set of humps, and a capacitor to smooth that waveform out to something closely approximating steady-state DC.


That is a good idea and if you really wanted to get fancy you could attach a photovoltaic panel (solar panel) to it for unlimited power or even attach a mini wind turbine.

Here is a picture of how a bridge rectifier works:

#164408 Outlet Powered Vulcan

Posted by tatertotguy on 25 July 2008 - 12:51 PM in Modifications

When I recieve my Vulcan I will by a 9v. transformer and e-tape the wires to the battery terminals just to see if it will work before I destroy the internal wireing by trying to parralel wire it.



#164404 Outlet Powered Vulcan

Posted by tatertotguy on 25 July 2008 - 12:48 PM in Modifications

I was thinking that you could set up some type of pill box or bunker with a lookout to call the shots like a loser team and they could cover you while you reload. The whole premise of the plug and shoot was if you were in an indoor war you could use the extension cord if the batteries went dead as a failsafe.

What the heck someone fricked with my post it originally said $niper team!!! Every time I go to write the word $niper it changes it to loser?

Posted by tatertotguy on 24 July 2008 - 05:40 PM in Modifications

The chain is half backwards and because of this I doubt it would "PWN"...



#164203 Outlet Powered Vulcan

Posted by tatertotguy on 24 July 2008 - 05:35 PM in Modifications

The kind of transformer I was thinking of was a cell phone charger that has a 9v. output. All you would have to do is strip the wires and attach alligator clips to the ends of the wires and connect the clips to the battery terminals.

Ever since I saw the pics of the ammo belt I had the theory that the plunger tube creates a seal on the ammo belt and you should be able do cpvc the belt. How long are the screws?



#164169 Places That You Wish You Could Nerf

Posted by tatertotguy on 24 July 2008 - 04:38 PM in General Nerf

I'd say the Colusseum in Rome, the Tower of London, The Vatican, and the Mall of America!!! (I have been to all of those places and they would be so frickin' amazing for nerfing. And I would also add Ostia a Roman port it has tons of partially destroyed buildings and tunnels and there are tons of walls and pillars for cover.



#164117 The Vulcan: Unboxed

Posted by tatertotguy on 24 July 2008 - 01:44 PM in Modifications

#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.
