Not bashing on the handles, btw. Can the BBB be primed with a hand on the 2K's handle?

Nice job on V2. Questions:

1. Whats the valve used on the trigger?
2. Where can I get one?

I posted it a while ago, here it is. I tried fixing the font and size last night and made it worse.

Thats really cool, i've never had any of the ATXKs before to try anything with them, but this looks really good. Nice job.

Sooo... the actual gun slides out of the controller? Is it on a tactical rail?

Its fine.
Well im assuming that you now do have a camera, so do you have plans on posting it? I've been hearing about all these other mods like this but no one can ever find them! I'd like to see what others have done with the tactical rail.

#170766 The "tactical Shot"

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 19 August 2008 - 09:26 PM in Modifications

Then i don't really see how that is anything like my mod.
Other than how the "gun" in the controller slides out like it says.

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 17 August 2008 - 03:47 PM in Modifications

I would've used NF guts, but i didn't have a spare one.

This kind of started out with me being afraid to really integrate anything with anything else permanently.
But now i can equip and un-equip as i please.

#170028 The "tactical Shot"

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 17 August 2008 - 03:25 PM in Modifications

**NOTE** I'm not going to bother with a write-up to this, it took too many tiny details and pieces from various things to get to the end product. If you're willing to attempt this, then just go by what you see like I did.

Now a write-up.

So I was messing around one day with my disc shot and i ended up just taking it apart. Took out the plunger tube and noticed i had a spare Tactical Light laying around. I then took that apart and saw what space it had inside it.
Posted Image

I got to working.

Posted Image

I took about 3 or so hours cutting out and removing any pieces inside that were just taking up space, and kept the parts that i could use to help fit the plunger tube with more snugly than just having it sitting inside.

Posted Image

EDIT: This is how I went about cutting all the internal shell pieces in order to fit the tube & such:
Posted Image

This was my original plan for the internals:

Posted Image

Turns out the PVC wasn't doing any good, so i took it out.

Another angle (with PVC):
Posted Image

Barrel stabilization was simple, just trim the hole up where the light used to be so the end of the plunger would fit. Barrel would be added on later.

Posted Image

End product:
Posted Image

I used a roseart barrel instead of anything heavy, mainly due to the fact that i've never seen a piece of brass in my town or anywhere near where i live.

EDIT: I ended up having the original hot glued barrel come off, so i gooped it on later.

Top View:
Posted Image

I didn't do anything fancy with the trigger mech. Just pressing down the catch plate was enough to function as a trigger.
EDIT: Working on a trigger of some sort.
Posted Image

Ranges:
Flat: 40-50 ft.
Angled: 1,000,000 ft. (I kid, i kid..)

It fits just like any other accessory with the tactical rail on it. Thats the beauty.

Other stats:
-Used a slightly stretched Sharpshooter II spring
-Will most commonly be used with my Mini Stefans™ for burst shots. Works very well for close-ranged fire fights, great addition to a long-range gun.
-Wrapped plunger head with teflon tape, then e-tape. Glued down with hot glue.
-Lubed up with silicone spray.

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 17 August 2008 - 09:11 PM in Modifications

Very nice modification, makes me want to buy another tactical light for that reason. Also, what rail was on your BBB when you attached it onto the BBB, it doesn't look familiar.

I cut up the barrel extension for the Recon, just the bottom rail.
It fit pretty well, I also took the rail connection piece (whatever you call it) that holds whatever onto the rail. This way i can put a NF or something on the other side.

#170500 The "tactical Shot"

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 18 August 2008 - 11:48 PM in Modifications

I added a trigger!

And it comes from the battery pack cover off the original tactical light, so it looks even more like the light did without modification.
Posted Image

Just hot glued on to the top of the catch plate with the little notch at the end of the cover. Works just by pressing down, and is now MUCH more comfortable. Now maybe i can USE it!

#170178 The "tactical Shot"

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 17 August 2008 - 11:55 PM in Modifications

Well, I did have a spare tactical light (ripped it off of my BBB 2 or 3 days ago) and I did have a spare Nite-Finder (ripped it off that same BBB 2 or 3 days ago...after the barrel fell off). SOOOO, I got to work, what happened was I gutted the crud outa everthing in the tac. light, crayola (yes crayola, no roseart for me...but it's the same color, yellow...) and hot glued the plunger in. Now I just feel like I wasted a perfectly good Nite-finder and Tactical Light. Why you ask? Well it's almost done, and since we're leaving for vacation tommorow I won't be able to work on it for 4 days. My only problem is the catch, it's just there, loose, so then gun is uncockable, and whenever you do try to cock it, either 1 of 2 things happen:
1. The entire plunger rod flies out along with the spring and cocking mechanism.
2. You bend the catch spring, you are able to pull the plunger rod back, yet it doesn't cock
because the catch spring isn't firmly mounted on the bottom so you just have to slide the
plunger rod back to the uncocked position.
I did take pictures ~~but I haven't uploaded them yet.~~

EDIT: (here are the picture[s]!) sorry for the bad quality

Just to see if I gutted anything extra, from your pics, it looks like I gutted alot more then I should've.

I DID TAKE THE HOT GLUE OFF (well actually when I cocked it the hot glue ripped off)
Also, the light is upside down, if you look closely you can see that

I'm sorry to say sir.. but if you'll look at my modifications to the inside of the light's shell, i did not cut out ALL the pieces of the inner tactical light shell.

**Posting a picture edited to explain how i put every thing in**

Very nice mod.

I've been thinking of implementing the Tactical Light (that comes in the pack of micros) into the area below the barrel of the recon, but im having trouble finding a way that it won't disrupt the clip-feed.

Thats awesome, to think some use whats basically this attachment as a single gun, whereas you can strap it onto whatever gun has the rail system that can fit it. Thats kick-ass. Good job for being one of the first that I can recall to get the attachment thing done right.

#174893 "vicarious" Mk. Iv (bbb + At2k)

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 04 September 2008 - 12:32 PM in Modifications

That's just plain awesome. I do have a thought/suggestion, though.

2k's, even quadded ones with barrels as short as yours are, should be getting more than 40-50 foot ranges. Since you've shortened the 2k's pump length by a fair margin, AND you have a larger tank to fill than before due to the sizable length of tubing, it's perfectly legitimate and safe (provided your tubing connections are glued securely and not leaking) to give it a few extra pumps. 3-4 pumps is ideal and expected for non-integrated 2ks with stock internals save pump plugging and barrel replacement, but you have more space to fill with a smaller pump now. I'd be willing to guess that with 6-7 pumps, you could get a more reasonable 70-80 feet out of your 2k, and the overall pressure would be about that of having 3-4 pumps on a standard set of internals. Your dart velocity will improve, and the effective range will be...well, far more effective.

GREAT work. I love it. One of these days, I'm gonna go buy another 3B. One of these days...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely try it.
I was kinda unsatisfied with the AT2K ranges, anyways. And unless I hold down the trigger for about 1-2 seconds (nothing less) the ranges blow even more. Maybe i'll take some needle nose pliers and tilt the wire on the trigger pin a little more backwards to achieve more air being released. Anyways, thanks alot. Really, I'm honored you love it. :lol:

EDIT: Yes, Falcon was right. I can get 5-6 pumps in before the over pressure starts kicking in. Ranges are about 60-70. I think the turret on the AT2K may have an air leak where the tank meets the turret, so i'm going to investigate that when I get the chance. Probably just a bad seal is all.

#174839 "vicarious" Mk. Iv (bbb + At2k)

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 03 September 2008 - 11:41 PM in Modifications

This write up will be done in two parts: One about the BBB mods and then the AT2K integration.

Now, you read the title and must be thinking "what happened to Mk. I-III?"
Those were a series of upgrades and/or times when something broke and needed to be replaced/repaired.

Now, as many modders can imagine, after something breaks it can be very, very frustrating.

Thats why i decided to to a complete overhaul of the gun, along with a few additions that would make it an overall better gun.

Did basic mods (AR's out early on when i first got the gun).

For the spring replacement i took a small cut (not too thin, or it'll snap) of CPVC and used various tools (dremel, xacto knife, rounded file) to make it into a squarish shape for it to fit onto the plunger rod. Then just slide on the NF (or other) spring.
Posted Image

I tested this out, and it turns out I got the plunger tube so lubed up that the NF spring slipped over the CPVC and got entangled with the BBB spring. I then took the cap of a Powerade bottle and cut in into similar dimensions of the CPVC (not pictured) and put that inbetween the CPVC and the NF spring. Worked wonderfully from there on.
Posted Image

I've been through at least 3 different barrel/coupler mods. All of which have been failures or have been upgraded.
I completely cut off the orange barrel, and dremeled it out to fit a 3/4" PVC coupler which i cut just past the little notch in the center of it.

One of these: http://rayssupplycom...arson_v-103.jpg

I pushed it through the hole so that the center "notch" on the outside (as i'll call it) was against the wall of the orange piece.
Posted Image

Then goop'd it.
Posted Image

Then I put on a 3/4" PVC adapter that has the "female" part of the screw onto the other coupler, allowing just enough space inbetween them for the case to fit on. Then i wrapped 1-2 layers of E-tape around the space between them to stabilize the barrel.
Posted Image

Goop'd it in place too.

The plunger head was pressing against the PVC coupler that was first goop'd down, so i had to cut a small bit of it off to keep from bashing the thing off.
Posted Image

Part One is finished!

Now for the ATsK integration. Let it be known that ForsakenAngel24's BBB mod the "Angel Bow" was the main inspiration for this mod. I've never seen this done before, but if anyone has please let me know.

I took apart my AT2K from this mod ( http://nerfhaven.com...c=12926&hl=AT2K ) and set it next to my opened BBB.
Posted Image

I took the front two pieces of the BBB (where the front handle is) and started emptying out all the little notches in the top part where the purple rod slides when the gun is cocked. To make way for the AT2K pump.
Posted Image

Make sure it fits well when the shell is closed.
Posted Image

You need to measure how the pump handle will be when the gun is closed and in the cocked position. Cut the purple rod enough so that the pump is completely closed when the BB is closed, in other words.

I cut the end of the pump handle (without the handle) so that it'd fit in the hole where the purple rod used to be.
Posted Image

I drilled holes through what was left of the purple rod horizontally so i could fit a piece of coat hanger through the holes to keep the pump attached.
Posted Image

That old yellow vynal tubing has to go. Get yourself about 3 ft. of 1/8" OD 1/4" ID vynal tubing from a hardware store. Squeeze it onto the pump nozzle after you've cut off the old yellow tubing.
Posted Image

Take off the goo gauge of the AT2K internals and cut the new vynal tubing so that you can squeeze it into the air tank. Find a way that it fits snuggly so you'll know how when its time to really connect it.

#174851 "vicarious" Mk. Iv (bbb + At2k)

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 04 September 2008 - 12:13 AM in Modifications

No, this is an all or nothing mod. Its glued on as a whole. But that doesn't mean yours can't be in halves.

There was enough flat surface for the top of the NF to fit, and where that screw hole is below the barrel of the BBB, it fits the gap between the little barrel "ring" and the rest of the gun on the NF almost perfectly. just some sandpaper will do the trick.

#174843 "vicarious" Mk. Iv (bbb + At2k)

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 03 September 2008 - 11:43 PM in Modifications

This next step is completely up to you how you want to do it. I took a NF shell with the trigger system still stock and put the air tank inside so that when the trigger is pulled a wire pulls on the rod of the air tank causing it to release the compressed air.

The shell needed to be "thinned out" on the inside a bit to accommodate the tank.
Posted Image

This is how i hooked up the trigger system, yes thats the bic pen mod on the air tank.
Posted Image

Its not pictured but I drilled a small hole towards the center of the trigger towards the top so the wire will fit in.

I wanted the original (but modded) rotating turret from the AT2K to fit, so i cut vertically on the NF so that the part where the turret and the air tank meet would be nice and snug. Then i took my round file tool (a dremel can be used too) and emptied out a place for the part of the turret with the spring.
Posted Image

Before you finally close the NF up, take that new tubing and position it on the gun that works for you. You'll see in the final shots how I did. Then measure where the NF shell will be (where the front handle currently is) and cut the new tubing according to where the air tank will be.

Then, take the still opened NF and the tubing and squeeze it into the air tank nice and tight. I hot glued it into place on the tank, and along the inside walls of the shell. The tubing led out the back of the shell where the NF plunger rod would've been.

Put the NF shell back together and it looked like this:
Posted Image

I painted the gun before it was finished, not sure why. But i cut off the front handle of the BBB while leaving the screw hole thats located right below the barrel to keep the shell from coming open.
Posted Image

Took 2-Ton epoxy and epoxied the NF to the space where the front handle was cut off. Then Hot glued all the way around it to help keep it in place while the epoxy cured.
Posted Image

Once its dried you are now capable of making it look far less ugly that it does.
Final product:
Posted Image

"Fully loaded":
Posted Image

To anyone who's wondering, the AT2K is pumped by holding down the BBB trigger and moving the BBB from the cocked position to the normal 3-4 times.

Video:

Ranges:
BBB: 90-100 ft
AT2K: 40-50 ft

I decided to name it "Vicarious" because of a particular line of lyrics in the song "Vicarious" by Tool:
"Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance."
"Vicariously I live while the whole world dies."

Q's? C's? F's?

Posted by Norther of Heaven on 04 September 2008 - 12:26 AM in Modifications

You are one crazy motherfucker for doing something like that. Is the whole grip cut off except for the screw hole, or just the grip part excluding the screw hole little ridge on the bottom of the gun? (I see how this is an odd thing to try to explain now) The picture was a bit dark, so I was just wondering.

Everything excluding the screw hole. i know what you meant.
And about the halves thing, i can always just cut away the hot glue and the front and back of where i glued down the NF shell, thats the only thing from keeping me from opening it. That and the screws, obviously. :rolleyes:

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. I think I'm going to do this with epoxy putty, normal epoxy doesn't like me very much, stuff gets glued to the wrong things. Thanks for re-motivating me to get on this project, and i hope yours stays together without problems.

I thought of doing this with Bondo, but that would've been too messy for my liking. Also thought of some crazy way to get halves of large PVC to hold the NF in place while the epoxy cured.

I had alot of ideas for this mod, including one where i took an empty tin can and make a shell for the AT2K tank with the Longshot's front gun's handle & trigger. Glad i didn't, it would've been very flimsy. But it was all part of the brainstorming process.

To go along with Killakit's Favorite Pistol/Secondary Thread, This is for posting you're current / favorite primary gun(s). Pictures are very much loved and wanted.

I'll start:

The ACCESS Bow. Ranges are in the 90s to 100s.
Mods:
CPVC Coupler, 2x mav springs, 1x firefly spring, 1x NF spring, removable stock, etc.

Very clean. Good mod.

My personal preference, i would switch the pump's position with the tank's and vice versa.

I thought about that, but the tank wouldn't have fit in the top cleanly.

Thats true. You made the right decision I guess.
