The problem is I'm trying to still use the green handle to pull the cord to cock the gun but from rest to fully extended is a little too short. I tried running the cord some different ways and I get close but not enough.

You can see bigger pictures on my blog.

know its been done before but this is my version


It fits just about any gun with a coupler and u can make the barrels as long or short as you want


including Mega Missile and sonic bazooka

Has anyone modded one of these to shoot darts yet? It uses a self retracting lanyard to launch its rocket(a claimed 30 feet)instead of a spring or air

Posted by jerm78 on 13 December 2008 - 03:12 PM in Modifications

If anyone ever wondered they dont work well. Both darts have to load in the barrels exact or they wont fire wright. The air will take the easiest exit and only one will shoot and not very far. But the one good shot I got off fired 2 darts about 80 feet. I was making this for my titan but tested it with my signal launcher

The Thunderbolt, stock gets o.k. range like a Maverick, has lights and makes an annoying sound


A quick size comparison


Inside, the spring is not bad but the plunger tube is small and the hole where the air releases is small


The spring and there is a oring plus a rubber head


There is rubber on the tip of the plunger tube


You don't want to take this part apart, the metal post on the left side of the black thing with the green ring slides in and out so its impossible to push back into the orange turret(I finally found a way to get it back together)


I drilled out the pegs and added a spacer behind the spring to help compress it more.


Thats it for now I will finish modding it later and let yall know about ranges

I never got this gun to work so I decided to put something else inside.









It gets better ranges than my moded DT but not much better. I think I will have to barrel it to got it full potential.

Posted by jerm78 on 30 December 2008 - 01:52 AM in Modifications

The turret is from a BuzzBee Mustang six and I just cpvc barreled it. Drilled a hole in the bbbb and reinforced the hole with washers and done





My other 6 shot bbbb, shotgun style(shoots 6 darts 40 to 50 feet)

Posted by jerm78 on 17 December 2008 - 11:22 AM in Modifications

I still got some kinks to work out with the spring gun and if I pump the BB full the pin wont pull but I'll work them out later. I also need to fill in some empty gaps and paint it but its pretty simple just a BBBB stuck in a longshot.




and the almost finished project.

I am posting this for my friend, its a Titan in a Big Blast shell. Its a clean mod and a good way to make the Titan smaller and keep the pump strokes down. It uses the original titan pump but takes less pumps because there are no extra hoses and crap to fill.

Posted by jerm78 on 06 December 2008 - 10:54 PM in Modifications

I moded the stock gun using foam and rubber bands trying to get better range and got like 20 feet so I chucked the internals and made this



I cut the original slider piece in half to attach the pump handle and used the other half to elevate the pump because a piece of plastic needs to slide under it.





the hardest part was attaching the handle from the longshot. I got it on tight so no glue was needed




I used a hanger to attach trigger to pull pin and attached some cpvc for a barrel.

Enjoy.

Posted by jerm78 on 12 December 2008 - 02:07 AM in Modifications

A friend of mine came up with an idea and this is my interpretation of it.


I still have to fix the barrel and seal a leak but it works, and of course you pull the pin sticking out the back to fire



A 2k that fits in your pocket.

When did they start making the black cover on the back shorter. The last recon I bought was about a year ago and I don't remember reading about any changes to the recon. And yes I did search. If it was talked about and I missed it could you point me in the right direction and sorry for the post.

older cover is up top.

Basicaly I had a spacer behind the spring(its a heavy duty spring) to fully compress it when primed but it caused the pin that pulls the plunger rod back to break off.


Theonly parts needed is a screw and a nut and maybe an extra spring if you want.
So I decided to lengthen the pull stroke becuse that was the main problem with this gun, the plunger head stops way before reaching the barrel so all the air is not forced out the plunger tube. I moved the cocking pin forward about a little more then a inch using a screw with a nut on the end.


then I sanded down the stops in the pull rails like this, they were just under that hole in the side


then sand down the insides of the shell so the screw won't hit it.


now when you pull it back to arm you can see the plunger rod inside


I put a coupler on and filled the plunger heads holes with hot glue not sure if it will help but it cant hurt.


I then found after arming that the pull did not go all the way to back to original resting position because the plunger rod was hitting the new priming screw so when I pulled the trigger the rod hit the screw before coming to a rest and this was the result.

so the slit in the rod needs to be lengthened towards the barrel(pic comming)

Now it gets ranges like a BBB if not better, I think this gun has a stiffer stock spring

This is not the finished gun because I can't find a trigger system I like. Not familiar with the Pop Shot, check this post X-Tream Air Pop Shot . I have spent hours messing with this and I'm giving up for now.







I glued A o-ring from a AT2k to the tip of the Pop Shot


It's hard to explain the trigger system I'm using now but it's a screw with a rubber head, a spring and a pull cord. I have to open the gun back up to take a picture of it.



I will post more when I finish(If I ever finish)

For anyone interested I got this at Walgreens for $10 and here are a few size comparisons

It shoots about 10 feet less than a Tommy 20



3-AA batterys


It's quieter than a tommy 20 because the motors don't spin as fast

This is my friends gun which I thought was cool so I figured I'd post it here. He had to remove the barrel rotation part to fit the air tank in. He single barreled it for better distance and plans to cut off the front part and use the other barrels as dart holders. It's not finished yet but here it is.

Posted by jerm78 on 29 December 2008 - 04:25 PM in Modifications

That is amazing, can more than one channel be opened(Or cut open) to allow for a shotgun?

you can cut this piece and make it have 4 openings to get the shotgun effect

Posted by jerm78 on 04 October 2008 - 04:16 PM in Modifications

I recieved a few questions about this gun and while I'm not finished with it I decided to post it. I got it at Bass Pro for $24.99, they had tons of them.



I double stacked the spring with one I had laying around, It was the only thing I had that would fit over the top of the shaft(a NF spring won't fit)



I followed Angels write up mostly but I didn't have to cut anything. The orange tip prys off with a little force, its not glued on. And the locking washers on the turret come off with needle mose plyers. The hardest part was getting the rubber plunger head back on(it has to come off to add a spring) and getting the markers in so they made an air tight seal.



I have not tested ranges yet but its in the same class as my moded BBB and LS. This is a bad-ass gun and if you find one buy it its worth the money. I will post more once I do my range tests

Posted by jerm78 on 28 December 2008 - 08:47 PM in Modifications

Picked this up at TRU for $5 today and made it work with any gun with a coupler.


This is the inside the turret


and this channels the air to the diffrent barrels


all I did was cut the tube and glue cpvc and bent couplers to the inside to channel the air to the write place.


also stock darts fit the barrels perfect




also the inner tubing thats attached to the handle fits titan rockets perfect

From Toys R Us




load the missle on to the orange thing, drop it in the gun and press the big orange button to fire. It has three adjustable positions.

I got this from Ace. Has anyone ever used it as a stock? I searched but found nothing.
