My Arsenal.

Posted Image

Clockwise: CPVC'd NF, PETG'd Pump-Plugged AT3K, PETG'd Super Mav 2K, Inline Clip'd PETG'd PAS, Spring-addition Seal-Improved Spring-compressive Stefan Clip-Accepting Recon, and PETG'd Inline-Clipped T.I.M, my absolutely incredible homemade. I have many more guns but they're all in a scrap heap for now.

Latest updates to the ACCESS:

Posted Image

The Coupler is now in there permanently, and has an air-tight seal on the plunger so its now vacuum-loaded.

Posted Image

The thin-walled PVC on the CPVC is just for looks.

Posted Image

Had the original rod snap in half where i thought was the strongest point on it, but its now held together with pieces of coat hanger like so on both sides.

Posted Image

And the stock has a new piece added to it for stability.

Don't have a picture of the internals, but it now has:
1 NF spring
1 Firefly spring
2 Mav springs
1 LSFG spring
and a cut length of a thinly-wound industrial spring with about the power of a NF spring.

And everythings been reinforced, so it pray it won't break anywhere anytime soon. Ranges now more likely to be in the 90'-100' range, but cold and windy weather prevents me from doing any official range tests.

Remember the NF from this?
I realized that I needed a sturdy, reliable, and strong sidearm. I felt like I was making my mods more complicated than they needed to be. So i put it in another NF shell:

Posted Image

~50ft ranges flat. Perfect.

And something else i'm working on:

Posted Image

My first attempt at a LS mod of this magnitude.

#226782 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

My first ERTL PAS. Due for a PJ any day now.
Posted Image

I added FBR to reduce the sound. Does an amazing job if i do say so myself.
Posted Image

Also, since the front of the gun carries the majority of the weight, I glued some copper BBs inside the stock to make it heavier. The same to the cocking handle.
Posted Image

This bad boy is equipped with the stock spring, LS spring, and a 1st gen BBB spring.
Posted Image

- The trigger spring(s) were made from the front (orange) attachment's AR spring.
- I added hot glue to further compress the springs on the plunger rod.
- Has a section of nail put inside the brown piece to prevent the stefan from being vacuum-loaded too far and into the plunger.
- PVC coupler epoxied on.
- Uses CPVC as barrel material for now. Getting PETG soon.
- Range: ~95 ft.

#247043 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 14 August 2009 - 04:05 PM in Modifications

The result of a stock Recon as a birthday gift.

Had an original Recon's plunger "cover" that i put on the newer model. Put a Mav + Random similarly-sized spring in the back to help force the plunger forward when firing. Other things:
- E-Tape wrapped around plunger tube for spring compression
- E-tape underneath the O-Ring for better seal
- Trimmed the piece on the bolt sled that engaged the mechanism for the dart tooth to go down slower, thus pushing the dart further down the barrel
- Can use stefan-modded clips

Ranges are ~45, a decent secondary. And with 8 clips theres no telling what can't be done with this.

EDIT: I tried out a PETG barrel to replace the original, but due to the looser fit it got worse ranges.

#286846 Homemades Picture Thread

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 11 October 2010 - 09:53 PM in Homemades

I got around to making more homemades. And I guess i seem to be following a trend of bows 'n such. le sigh.

Posted Image

Used some of that very small but very tough flex pvc for the plunger rod because the priming (tube?) kept bending the vinyl tubing i had there instead. Put some of the vinyl inside and boom, no worries about it bending and not priming.

Posted Image

This piece is called a wye/tee combination. Its a great handle. I hate seeing snaps and other such homemades with wooden handles amongst all the PVC. It looks unnatural to me.

Posted Image

When primed the plunger rod is visible from the stock tee.

And while I was at it..
Posted Image

The bow "head" i made interchangeable, so i decided to experiment a little on this design. I call it the Y-Bow.

Posted Image

I didn't quite get the arms exactly the way I wanted them, so i just bolted dem bitches down so they wouldn't come flying off by accident when primed.

Posted Image

Have to leave the thread kinda loose, its a tough prime when its more than just taut.

Posted Image

The arms curve beautifully.

Posted Image

Still needs some tweaking, but I think this design has potential. Maybe mechanically, maybe just cosmetically.

#215528 New Raider CS-35 Speculation Thread

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 28 February 2009 - 11:36 AM in General Nerf

Hmm. The drum magazine seems useful, but flimsy, and for me it takes away from the gun. Just a regular or super clip would be better for the gun i think.

And that front handle is getting a shotgun grip makeover.

I can't make it unless someone picks me up and brings me there and back, which seems extremely unlikely. So, sorry guys.

#244606 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 29 July 2009 - 06:46 PM in Nerf Wars

And so if I could use TIM that'd be great, because right now its the only primary i have working. Alongside my NF.

Bring it and if is not deemed unsafe then you are welcome to.

If it is and none of my other primaries are in working condition, will there be some that i could use?

#245119 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 02 August 2009 - 01:06 AM in Nerf Wars

Turns out i won't be bringing a guest, and if my repairs are successful to my 2 other primaries i'll have 3 out of my 4 working so i'll bring them.

Norther's Stefan count: ~40 ...sunday's gonna be a long day.

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 26 July 2009 - 02:54 AM in Nerf Wars

Glad you two can make it Norther and Rogue. This will actually be the first time we've had a Floridian nerf with us in Augusta. It's an honor.

Norther, we may let you use T.I.M. at the war. We're pretty lenient on gun restrictions. Bring it anyway because I want to see it in person

Okay, we'll see. I just got my first shipment of PETG and i'm looking forward to using some new guns with it. And yeah i'll bring TIM. Now i need to make those stefans...

I'll be attending. This will be my first war, I'm all giddy.
I'm gonna try to bring a friend with me since i don't really know anyone.

Oh, and also i'd like to bring my homemade just for shits & giggles. I will not use this in the actual war. That would be stupid.

#244599 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 29 July 2009 - 06:33 PM in Nerf Wars

So as luck would have it, my PAS stopped catching. I think its the catch spring.

Also, my recently PETG'd AT3K gets terrible ranges.

This is due to my inability to get SwiftNerf FBR to fit into PETG.

I hope i can find a way to make it fit, otherwise i'm kinda naked in the breeze.

And so if I could use TIM that'd be great, because right now its the only primary i have working. Alongside my NF.

You never sees to impress me.

Cease. CEASE.

This is too much.. but in a good way. Good job!
Is the foregrip hard to prime? I've always seen it attached where the original primer was, not directly to the bolt sled like that.

As it stands i will be unable to make it. I, myself am an "otaku" if you want to call it that. The South-East's largest Anime Convention (AWA, Anime Weekend Atlanta) just so happens to fall on that weekend for 3 days. It is in the ATL however.. i mean, its like christmas. CHRISTMAS. THE SEQUEL. IN 3D. THREE. DEE. So i will be unable to attend.

#183911 Favorite Pistol/secondary?

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 15 October 2008 - 01:12 PM in Modifications

My friend is quite dumb, he has a titan with a vulcan front where the barrel should be, a hornet on the bottom, two crossfires where the two side tactical rails are on the vulcan front, and a maverick where the scout should go. It looks hilarious when he uses it though, the gun is huge and he is quite short.

My lust for the lulz demands you put up a video of this. Now.

#180913 Favorite Pistol/secondary?

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 01 October 2008 - 08:47 PM in Modifications

If i still had my AT2K, it would've been that. The one with the burst shots.

For now its my SSII. 60ft range and 2 very fast shots.

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 09 September 2008 - 12:34 PM in Modifications

Marvelous. Just incredible.

But i have a question.. forgive me if i missed something. If the Titan is equipped, how exactly does the main gun fire? It looked like the caulk plunger tube wasn't even there.

But anyways, GREAT JOB. Can't wait to see the paintjob.

I was just reading a write-up on a SM1K and i thought to myself, "Hey, this looks similar to that Furyfire thing thats coming out.. I wonder if it could have similar internals."

And then I find this thread.

That bullshit is getting replaced with a 2K tank and a pump. Really, Nerf?

Very, very good work.

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 09 November 2008 - 11:59 AM in Modifications

Well in any matter, it's a very solid gun that gets monster ranges. And the firing sound was sweet.

#203555 Modding Basics

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 15 January 2009 - 02:44 PM in Modifications

Just incase anyone wants their AT2K trigger to still function like it does stock, (sliding on the pump) you can use the orange "barrel" off the top of LSFG to put the trigger on. It fits it very nicely. Not sure how you could use this in any way, but its something to think about.

If anyone's already asked this then forgive me, i didn't see, but what barrel material did you use? From your past mods I'd have to guess a Crayola.

#181074 Cosmetically, What Can I Change?

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 02 October 2008 - 07:12 PM in Homemades

If i can say something as someone who's never actually held a x-bow before, but from the looks of it the x-bow is alot skinnier than what you've cooked up.

I realize that a homemade version will be more likely rounded than the rectangular shape of the original, but maybe you could just make the internals the way you want (and to the right specifications bearing the desired output) and just make your own shell to make it have a feel of a x-bow.
