This was a pretty great first war. Met dudes, shot dudes.
Pros:
-Good Nerfing
-Decent weather (But the sweatshirt helped a lot.)
-Nothing breaking
-Ghetto chain, fuck yeah
-Not losing (or using) that many darts
-Ridiculous gun round
Cons
-Fucking bees in my shoe
-Minimal tower rounds
-Slowing pace the hour or so before I left
-Not having that great of guns
-Frequently moving stuff around
I'm thinking of greatly improving the ghetto chain, would it merit its own topic? Also, ideas for drink-rails have been floating through my head all day...

Busta, your SNAP has convinced me that they can look really good, with the right modifications. So I plan to drop by Menards this weekend and pick up supplies. Is there anything required that cannot be found there? (I was thinking springs)

The goal of this project was to build a reloading system that was both fast and sturdy. After seeing Rork's teaser thread, I got to work.
The bolt is made from a 14" CPVC barrel with a 1" section of sch 40 1/2" PVC hammered on to the end. I used cut down 3/4" fittings (endcap and plug). The endcap lets 1/2" PVC through and the plug lets CPVC. The Barrel goes through the endcap and the plug, with the PVC anchoring at the back due to the plug having a smaller lip. I used E-tape on the exposed end and put a sheath of sch 20 1/2" PVC. I then reinforced it all with epoxy putty.
The front bushing is a 1"x1/2" reducing bushing with the inside sanded so that the 1/2" PVC moves freely. The rear receiver is half of a 3/4" coupler with E-tape and teflon tape wrapped around it. The SNAP itself is a SNAPbow, in the fact that it uses a +bow spring and a similar plunger head.
The spring is there because it wasn't cocking securely before.
Comparison with a BBB.
Ranges haven't been taken, seeing as its dark outside, but is shoots incredibly fast and hard. (I made a point of increasing the resting spring compression)
Questions? Comments?
Anyway, don't mind me, enjoy.

Pretty sick! Can't wait for a write-up.
Probably won't do a write-up seeing as its only an addition to any SNAP with a 1.25" outer shell, but If anyone wants to build one, I'd be happy to help.
Mmmm...Pretty. That looks nice. How is the balance?
Balance is fine, as long as you don't try to fire it with one hand.

I think the problem here is that you are trying to make a Firefly have better ranges than 10-15 feet. Shit sucks, unless you replace the firing system.

If the problem is that the plunger rod handle won't slide far enough back to cock, remove a spring. (or get 1 strong one, an ace #49 for example) If it goes all the way back but won't catch, add another catch spring.

#188360 What The Heck Broken Stefan Tips

Yeah, I can't even begin to count the amount of times that happened today. I was at the war with BustaNinja, and we were playing a game on a playground. The stefan's tips are no match for extremely hard metals and plastics which the playground is built out of. It was really funny with the slug darts though because when they broke they almost looked as if they were splitting in half since the washer and felt would go flying in the other direction than the foam.No, the heads rip off the foam.Cs darts should work too right?
Yeah, usually my darts only come apart after numerous firings from a high-powered gun at a hard object at close range. But the cold decimated them so as to break them with one shot from a NF.
#183309 Singled Rapid Fire 20?

The regulated piston mechanism is designed to fire continuously so long as the trigger valve is depressed into the open position. You can control the rate of fire by adjusting the flow rate between the trigger and the piston (the stock rapidfire 20 includes such a feature) but it's not designed for nor is it optimal for single-fire.
You won't see any noticeable gain in performance.

And on topic, pretty much all of the flames are what I think, so I'll leave this alone.

I thnk your computer may have been infected with the "System32" virus. It starts out doing stuff like this, then gets a LOT worse. Just delete the "System32" folder and you should be good.

THAT IS NOT FUNNY IN ANY WAY, DO NOT DELETE THE SYSTEM32 FOLDER, IT WRECKS YOUR COMPUTER I updated viruscan TODAY and searched, it found no problems... system32 is a system process that is required for using your computer. This is seriously dangerous to a computer, an Admin has been PMed
Anyway, I'd say you just have some weird thing going on with your email account or internet connection.

Wish I could've made it, sounded like fun. Although I would never pass up what I'm doing now. Currently I'm in Quebec city, staying at the Chateau Frontenac. (google that, it looks amazing)
Anyway, I'll be around this weekend, but not next weekend, and hopefully around the weekends after that, in case anyone is planning wars.

I do believe that I have just wasted my time. People get banned all the time for topic revival here, and it also happens on every other forum I visit. Let the staff do their job and stay quiet.
