Is that a piece of somewhat-large PVC connecting the back of the turret to the gun?

I'm so proud...lol.

Looks great!

I would add a real barrell and mount it on a gauntlet.

That's pretty nice z80. I've never seen that gun before.

I have Vinyl connecting the turret to the airtank. It's pretty nice, gets decent range with good ROF.

I think getting rid of that vinyl tubing and connecting the airtank directly to the turret will increase ranges by a bit.

My moded BBB. First successful mod. Still looking for a name.

How about "Terror" or "Stalker"?

SMG:



SM500 with a 2k pump that none of you have ever seen (I traded it a longass time ago):



This thread needs more pictures.

Is there anyone affiliated with this site in anyway that has the time on Saturday to go take pictures at Hasbro's NY Office?

Cap'n Slug's post notwithstanding (he feels it may be counterintuitive to the spirit of Nerfing, he didn't make a judgment call on the blaster itself).

He was quoting my post which was actually my own comments concerning the impracticality of my design. I'll wait to form a complete opinion when I know more about how the Vulcan actually works, but my intuition tells me that it's not going to be a terribly useful weapon for typical Nerf Wars. Like you said, geared towards the purchase motivations of the average consumer and not us.

One wonders how much work it would take to rig a backpack car battery.

BAD IDEA. Car batteries are serious. You certainly don't need that much power, and neither lead nor sulfuric acid is fun stuff.

Battery powered=fail.

Seriously, to get a decent amount of range you would have to add an actual "good" spring and to fire a "good" spring you would probably have to hook it up to a car battery.

This thread runs in circles. This has been discussed before...Car battery=12V, 6 C batteries=9V. Only 3V difference. Not to mention that the car battery would have too much amperage for a small electric motor to handle.
When will this thread end?

Does anyone else see two triggers on the gun? The button on the top of the grip and the actual trigger. Could one of these be the motor button and the other be the belt feed trigger?

I don't. That piece (considering the size of the blaster) looks way too high up to be easily reached by your thumb.

Vid

Two shots from the LS, one from the sidearm, and the last is a double shot.

Sorry for the bad quality and crappy lighting. I'll have a better vid up by tomorrow when it's light outside.

As for the brass, its not too long, it's just not shoved all the way into the barrel of the sidearm.


Thanks for all your compliments.

I'm just throwing this out there, but in my experience, cpvc works better in plunger guns. Yes, this is a plunger gun, the air is the cocking method. I may do angles mod but relocate the trigger so I can actuate the trigger valve with a solenoid and supply air via paintball "nitro" tank.

I would recomend the use of hollowed out crayola markers inside a length of 1/2" SCH40 PVC for guns that use stock micros.

No need to pump at all. But using a gun like the Titan will empty it pretty quickly.
It is kind of large, but it's not too bulky. I can still run around easily and it doesn't weight more than 10 pounds so once it's on my back it's not very noticeable.

I've made ALOT of revisions to the design of both the gun and the valve/trigger configuration of this gun. I'm trying to simplify and reinforce everything. I don't really want to go into too much detail on what all of the changes mean, but here's the revised CAD design.

Will be less cramped, easier to machine, a little bit lighter, and will hopefully have a much more reliable trigger setup.

Interesting, on that list the Longstrike is named the Redshift instead. Why couldn't they have colored it red rather than blue and named the retail version the Redshift? It's less confusing for everyone that way.

So, where did you find the pictures? Someone seems to have acquired and unboxed it, maybe they could be contacted?

Yes im so happy finally a gun that is big enough for my massive 6,3 self. I am really excited about the long shot.

The Magstrike to me looks a lot like a Blastfire with a clip. Only one more shot and a little airtank/stock combo. Surely, it's going to be a hit among the community. I don't think the PC is going to go out of style though. There's going to be plenty of others that prefer 4 more shots to the stock & airtank. I know that would likely pertain to me. However, I do intend to invest in the Magstrike.
