Ah, reminiscing of days past with only a 10-year-old's nerf gun, duct tape, and a caffeine-driven imagination.

Just take a look.
Its got 1/2" PVC for megas and 1/2" CPVC nested in 1/2" Thin-Walled PVC for micros.
I'd say it completes the gun. And the letters on the side look pretty nice on it if i do say so myself.
This way i don't need to carry around a whole 'nother barrel if i want to switch ammo types. Once the clip is emptied out, if i have the other ammo type at my disposal i just switch them. Easy.

Well i couldn't think of anything else to call it.Dude, not worthy of The Incredible Machine's name. That game was THE SHIT. Don't agree? Play it, try to beat it without any hints, guides or cheats. Then, after failing, suck my left nut.
But a sweet ass mod it is. That thing has great range, a good ROF, good accuracy (just looking at the box...), and it will probably be banned at most wars...
Fuckin yeah ive done that. When i was 7. STILL my favorite PC game of all time. Nothing beats it. Fuck Portal.
Anyways, thanks for the comment.
Its working very well. It wasn't hard to make at all. And its very comfortable.Not being a gamer, I'm just going to pretend it's named after me... But really, this is ferociously cool. Makes me want to start messing around with pneumatics again. My only quibble is that I wouldn't have used a 2k shell, but it looks interesting. How's the push-button trigger treating you?

Because they have 3x as much weight in them as the micros do.Excellent job. That is amazing. Why do you think the megas got farther? (Besides the obvious size difference) Anyways, incredible job. I may just have to make one myself.

Due to my inexperience with homemade air guns, this is what i was going to originally use for a release valve. The Magstrike's.
Thanks to some research, and the help from Imaseoulman and CaptainSlug, i came to the conclusion that i'd either have to make my own or find a release valve with better air flow. I ended up making one from the design of CS's Dchap-1. I modified it slightly, using smaller pieces, a different angle, and with a bolt rather than rods.
Pretty simple, just make like so:
But before you screw everything together take a 1/4 drill bit and drill a hole as STRAIGHT as you can at the top of a 1/2" PVC Elbow. Fit the screw through the hole, fit a short piece of 1/2" PVC on the coupler running parallel with the bolt, fit the 1/2" PVC into the 1" to 1/2" PVC Plug, Screw on one nut, fit the (trimmed to fit the hole for the 1/2") rubber washer onto the bolt, put on the 5/16 washer and center it onto the bolt, and fasten another nut.
Once that is on, fit the 1" PVC Plug into one of the 1" "T" couplers with PVC Cement and screw in the 1/2" ID Vynal barbed connector to the 1/2" threaded part of the "T". And before you put the piece with the bolt into the "T", put a spring that'll make a good seal into the "T" and line it up with the washer on the bolt.
If you have any questions about the valve, just check out Slug's original.
Then epoxy the valve onto the left shell so that the head of the bolt can be comfortably pressed when the gun is held.
5. Once thats all finished just hook up all the tubing and you should be ready to go in terms of it holding and releasing air pressure. I put some zip ties on the barbed connectors to make the tubing stay on for good, just to be sure.
The rest of the 1/2" PVC pieces can result in a inline clip. Its been done 1,000s of times so i'll spare you the details.
Which brings me to an interesting little tidbit about this gun.
My seal on the release valve is not 100% air-tight. maybe about 90-95%. Real bad, huh? Not so fast..
Since while i pump there is air pressure leaking out at a slow rate, pressure builds up past the valve. Since i have an inline clip installed, all that i need is to pump as many times as i need, drop a stefan into the barrel via the clip, and as it makes that ever-so-tiny seal to the barrel the pressure from the leak advances the round even further into the barrel as if i had pushed it in myself.
The finished product:
No completely official ranges yet, but today i got these (albeit light rain and headwind)
Micros-
10 Pumps: 70-85FT
20 Pumps: not tested
Megas-
10 Pumps: ~120FT
20 Pumps: not tested
Darker Stefan: 10 Pumps
Lighter Stefan: 20 Pumps
I might make a video depending on if i have the time, and i'm not so experienced with video editing.
(Off topic, did anyone ever play TIM?)

I believe i got the idea for this from playing the latest Call of Duty game with a friend a few weeks ago. The Nazi Zombies mode kicked ass, and it gave you access to a gun that was a laser gun of some sort. I liked the feel of it. I had an empty AT2K shell lying around and i thought i'd use it in my next gun and that i'd try to make it look like the gun from the game. This is not what the final product turned out to be, however. But unlike my previous endeavors, i decided to make my first homemade.
Materials Needed:
- 1x AT2K shell
- 1x Magstrike Pump (or equivalent)
- ~1' of 1" PVC
- ~1' of 1/2" Thin Wall PVC
- Your choice barrel material (And whichever size wall PVC that it could be nested in)
- 1x 1" PVC Endcap
- 2x 1" to Threaded 1/2" PVC "T"
- 2x 1" PVC Elbow
- 1x 1" PVC Plug
- 1x 1" to 1/2" PVC Plug
- 1x 1/2" PVC Elbow (Slip x Threaded is what I used, doesn't matter)
- 2x 1/2" PVC Elbow (Coupler x Slip)
- 1x 1/2" PVC "T"
- 1x 1/2" PVC Plug
- 1x 1/2" Threaded PVC Plug
- 1/2" ID X/X" OD Vynal Tubing
- 2x 1/2" Male Threaded Nylon (or Brass) Barbed Connectors for ^
- 1/4" ID X/X" OD Vynal Tubing
- 2x Nylon (or Brass) Barbed Connectors for ^ (1x 1/2" Threaded Elbow piece & 1x 1/4" Threaded Male Connector)
- 1x 1/4" Bolt 4-5" long
- 1x 1/4" ID Rubber Washer
- 1x 5/16 Washer
- 2x 1/4" Nuts (with the plastic on one side so its a tighter fit)
- A Thin-Gauged, Medium-Length Spring
- Hot Glue
- Plumber's Goop
- 2-Ton Clear Weld Epoxy (Or equivalent)
- PVC Cement
- Silicone Grease
- Screwdrivers, PVC Cutters, Vice Grips, 1/4" Ratchet, Rounded File or Dremel, Etc.
---------------------
1. The Shell
Make cuts on the inside of the shell to make room for the pump. Also cut a circle in the back of the AT2K's ..thing. This:
Make sure that a 1" to Threaded 1/2" PVC "T" can fit inside it when you're done dremeling it out.
2. The Pump
I first made room for the Magstrike Pump. I would've used another, possibly non-Nerf pump for this gun but it just fit so well i had to use it.
It should stick out to about here.
The "endcap" for the pump should be epoxied on to the end of the pump, after the pump is plugged and lubed up.
The check valve end of the pump needs everything cut off so it just leaves a hole, like so.
After that, take the 1/4" Threaded Male Barber Connector for the 1/4" ID Tubing and epoxy it on so you have a new connector for the pump.
3. The Airtank
I had planned on this being small and compact, but it turns out the way i made it works better.
Take some of the 1" PVC and measure how much it takes to fit two couplers together. For me they measured to be ~2".
Make 3 of them. Not sure why i made four.
Then fit some of the 1/4" ID Vynal Tubing onto the 1/2" Threaded Elbow Connector for its size. Take that (not pictured correctly) , the 2 Elbow connectors, the 1" to 1/2" Threaded "T", one of the connectors for the 1/2" ID Vynal tubing, the 1" PVC endcap, the 1/2" Threaded PVC Plug, the pieces you cut, and some PVC Cement and lets put this bad boy together.
Once its finished drying, put it in the shell like so and make sure its a good fit.
Hot glue it into place once you find the sweet spot.
So far the gun should look like so:

I have to agree. You're right.It's simple. Is more of the finished product made from scratch? Or is most of it altered, reinforced, or otherwise customized?
If you made most of the functioning components from scratch, then it's no longer the blaster you bought. While often times the shell is required for the components to function, the shell doesn't make it a particular blaster. The internals do.

I'm talking about a gun i'm currently working on, the trigger mech. as well as the air tank are homemade. However the pump and shell for the gun come from store-bought guns. I'm a little confused as to how such a project would be categorized.
I'd like to think that its a homemade, but isn't the shell a big piece of what separates mods from homemades?

The only thing i can think of that you could improve is the seal on the reverse plunger with e-tape under the O-ring, but is that even possible without asking for the tube to get deformed?

I was not calling you dumb nor was i saying you were posting something unoriginal. I knew this was one of if not your first mod because you haven't even opened up the gun yet, and you yourself called yourself a Noob so don't get upset if people call you a Noob, Noob. Christ.Let me give you some sound advice before anyone answers all your questions for you, "noob".
The best way to go about whatever you're trying to accomplish is to just try things out on your own. Don't go by what other people have done, don't go by what you think you're supposed to do, and don't expect everyone to give you all the answers to things. Go on and explore your creativity. Think up things that no ones ever tried before. Then you test it and see if it was worth it or not. If it was, good for you. If not, then think of it as learning from experience. This is the best way to start out, otherwise you'll end up like alot of members who only post re-posts of previously done mods that they just read the write up about and copied without innovating in any way. Okay, i'm done with my rant.
To answer your questions, just take out all the ARs if you really want 60 ft flat out of a NF. You could interlace more springs with the stock one, but i'd suggest just replacing it with an overall more powerful, single spring. A barrel replacement is not necessarily necessary on the NF if you're just going to use taggers and streamlines.
I just answered most if not all your questions to help you get started.
And use the damn search function, because we're not always as patient or generous as i just was.
First. I will. I know. But doing some successful basic modding FIRST might help one be able to do their own more "original mods." I am also not dumb enough to repost an unoriginal mod, i just want to make it.
By all the ar's great, but still confused on what the "second ar" would be?
why wouldnt barrel replacement help?
And I DID use the damn search function. That question list was immense before i wrote this, and i knocked out about 90% of it on my own.
By ARs in GENERAL i mean ANYTHING that restricts airflow inside the gun. Take them ALL out.
A barrel replacement (in this case) wouldn't help much. Granted, it definitely wouldn't hurt, but the NF's stock barrel has a good fit on streamlines and taggers in the first place. Its not necessary unless you really want it. Micros, Taggers and basically any other stock dart will only go down barrels to a certain point because of their length before the head of the dart keeps it from going down any further. This excludes streamlines.

I've only ever gotten one of them. Its hard for me to find any pump/air chamber type gun.It's times like this when I thank god for being capable to get A2K's.Very clean and what I was hoping for when I read the title.
And thanks.
Oh, and before i forget.
To help reduce the force of impact with the NF's plunger rod, i took a cloth mousepad (with the cloth-like material on top, rubber on bottom) and cut a 1/2" wide piece and whatever length so that it completely wraps around the diameter of the tube, and put it at the end of the inside of the plunger tube.
The way i did it, i put the rubber side facing outward and the cloth inward, and it fits wonderfully. It does its job quite nicely.
They're easy to find (i have probably hundreds), easy to cut, and easy to integrate into the tube. Might be a more easy to find/get alternative to sponge gaskets or more effective than craft foam, but its up to you. This can be done to virtually any springer.
