#27766 Sm5k

Posted by Namm on 05 June 2004 - 01:34 AM in General Nerf

My SM5K started leaking yesterday, and within hours it would no longer hold air. I've opened it up, and I can push the firing pin all the way forward and pump, and the air still leaks, out of the front. I think the valve is off center, it might be from over pumping but I think its from general wear and tear. Does anyone know anyway of fixing this, or is it ruined?

#21026 Max Shot Color Scheme

I was just about to post something about that, its probably the exact same thing internally, but we can always hope. I also noticed that their mission statement claims they're not stealing ideas from nerf ("innovative"), and that tomorrow is their future, mine too, get over it, its not that exciting.

Probably a dome, I would guess it'd be more areodynamic. I make both (mainly by accident) and it doesnt seem to matter that much, or at least not for me.

#80400 Co2 Push Valve

Posted by Namm on 19 April 2006 - 09:23 PM in Homemades

I really dont know when I'll get around to it, but I do plan on making a home made nerf gun. You know..eventually. Anyways, I want to use co2, but I dont know what type of valve to use. Paintball valves (I think, I'm not 100% sure) use a hammer to hit a valve, which opens and closes, but because of the way its placed in the gun (In the bolt, or behind it...I dont actually own a paintball gun) It would be hard to take out and use for a home made. I dont need an electronicly operated valve, just something were you push a button, or part, and it opens. Even better, you push a part, and it snaps open and then closed quickly. If I could use a pvc valve I would, but co2 is very cold, and much too high a pressure for pvc. I dont want to have to do a lot of work to make the valve functional, like boltsniper did with his BASR, and the brass eagle valve. If anyone knows of a solution, or where I could cannablize a valve from, that would be great.

#80589 Co2 Push Valve

Posted by Namm on 22 April 2006 - 12:33 AM in Homemades

I plan on using a regulator, I forgot to mention that. This valve would be for a homemade nerfgun, and as such, I do care about the flow. I thought about making a valve, but this would be finicky, and I was hoping there would be an easier solution, such as buying an already made valve. Because I'm using a regulator, I probably only need the valve to be good up to 200 psi, Its the temperature I'm afraid of, and the repeat use of co2 with plastics such as pvc. If anyone knows of a valve I could use, off the shelf, or something that would require minor tweaking, that would be great. I would really rather not attempt to build a valve.

#33504 Tech Target Mod

Posted by Namm on 08 August 2004 - 06:22 AM in Modifications

Angled range isnt really all that important, whats the range flat? if you glue some fbr (foam backer rod) to the front of the plunger, it can often make the gun much quieter, and you dont loose range.

#20947 Vortex(Poll)

Posted by Namm on 09 March 2004 - 03:17 AM in General Nerf

correct me if im wrong, but isnt the firestorm a six shot semi auto? (not a true semi auto, but you dont have to reload) Also, according to Janga its also the most powerful, that sounds pretty good to me.

#27617 Differences Between Sm3ks

Posted by Namm on 03 June 2004 - 05:44 AM in General Nerf

There are two versions of the sm3k yellow. One was produced by larami (it was actually called a supermaxx 2500, but its easily mistaken for a 3k), and one was produced by hasbro. I belive the hasbro built one fires megas, not larami darts. I own an larami 2500, 2 blue (newest) sm3ks, and I used to own a green sm3k, and a hasbro produced yellow sm3k. The Larami 2500 has a larger airtank (from what I can tell), it also rotates differently than the 3ks. The 2500 actually uses a small amount of air from your first one or two pumps to move the barrels (I'm not totally sure how it works, but I know it uses air, it has no rod or mechanical parts that the pump moves, only the air pipe from the pump that goes into a smaller airtank, which is hooked to the much larger main airtank). The hasbro yellow 3k uses a rod that is moved by the pump on the first pump (its all mechanical). My larami 2500 is brassed, but I've never really mesured ranges, and recently its stopped firing, though it holds air, I think the trigger has probably just come unhooked from the firing rod.

#16672 Broken Larami 1000

Posted by Namm on 19 January 2004 - 04:33 AM in General Nerf

I really dont want to single it, and i dont think i can make a new trigger. I might just use some of the rotation pieces and just manually turn it. at least thats better than singling it. I dont know if mine was messed when i bought it but i didnt find any O ring, maybe im thinking of a different place in the gun. I might put in an at2k assembly just because the device provides a better seal with the barrels. Id have to try the manual turn thing first though. Again, any pictures would be great.

#16604 Broken Larami 1000

Posted by Namm on 18 January 2004 - 12:23 AM in General Nerf

i recently bought a larami 1000, ive never worked on one before, i opened it up, to see if anything could be modded, and the rotating mechanics all flew out. I dont know how to put it together, but ive gotten close, if anyone knows how to put it together exactly right, a picture would be great. in the process the front of the trigger broke, right behind where the grey L shaped piece hooks in. The trigger, being the force behind the rotation of the chamber, being broken means that the excellent combination of power and rate of fire of this gun would be lost. If anyone has any ideas about how to fix the trigger that also would be great. I dont think epoxy would work, the trigger is extremely thin and i dont think it would hold very well. The only solution i can see is to melt a hole in both pieces and put a needle or something metal in and then epoxy over that.

GeneralPrimevil, The mouthpiece looks like a coupler with masking tape on the edge. 3D, Excellent job, I like how the word ninja is painted onto the gun.

#20949 Which One

Posted by Namm on 09 March 2004 - 03:29 AM in Modifications

Everyone else seems to love the at3k, personally both of mine have sucked, horribly. I like the at2ks much more, manual does not mean slow, or even slower than automatic. The at2k also builds up a huge amount of pressure, single barreled or multi barreled my at2ks all get over 80 feet on 3 pumps. My at3ks are much worse than that , the best ive ever had one of mine do is about 65, with five pumps. It is also fairly hard to operate an at3k in each hand, at2ks are quite easy to handle this way. With dual at2ks you always have a fairly high powered shot ready. Just my experience, from what ive heard about other peoples at3ks, they're pretty good.

#37277 Problem With Stefan Darts

Posted by Namm on 16 September 2004 - 03:18 AM in General Nerf

If you could be more specific it would help. You may have accidentally picked up a different brand of FBR, some brands use use different sizes than others. It could be that the specific pack you picked up happened to be a little bit thicker. Foam backer rod isnt usually made very precisely, so you get alot of variation. You might have picked up the wrong size for all we know. Add some details, and then we'll probably be able to give you a better answer. If your darts are too thick for your barrels, just stretch the FBR out a little bit, it can make a big difference.

#27993 Damn Memory Loss...

Posted by Namm on 08 June 2004 - 06:23 AM in General Nerf

I dont want to highjack this thread, but does anyone have a mod for the range shot? Before I started modding nerf guns, it was my favorite pistol, but I barely use it anymore. I tried to mod mine, but the way the plunger is positioned, its very hard to get any range out of the gun. The plunger is also very small compared to most nerf pistols. I first put a stronger spring into the gun, but the increased friction (or possibly it gets stuck at the end of the pluger when its fired) causes the plunger head to come of randomly. Every time this happens I have to open the gun up to fix it. I also sawed the barrel off, and used a copper coupler, some blue tack, and a chunk of cpvc to make a barrel. On occasion, when it fires, it goes no more than 30 ft. Has anyone had any sucsess with this gun?

#83055 Sm3000 Pvc-cpvc Nest Mod

Posted by Namm on 10 June 2006 - 01:40 AM in Modifications

110 what now? I've had at least three of those guns, and before the pump handles failed (they always do), I could only get around 60 feet out of them. At most. Are you measuring flat distance, from shoulder height? If you were angling the shot, from your roof, then those ranges would be completely normal. Maybe I'm being over critical, it could just be an excellent mod, and you happen to angle your shots slightly. Sorry, those ranges just don't sound reasonable to me.

#38302 Arrowstorm, Help!

Posted by Namm on 04 October 2004 - 02:53 AM in Modifications

Maybe your dart fit is good, but not quite tight enough. I use CPVC for my arrow storm, it works very well, and cpvc fights my darts fairly tightly. Other than that, you might want to check the barrel seals.

#38369 Arrowstorm, Help!

Posted by Namm on 05 October 2004 - 02:58 AM in Modifications

For plunger seals, I would use a lube of somesort, and then wrap the plunger head in masking tape (lower friction than electrical tape, and its cheaper), but not in that order.

I know this is a bad question to ask, but its been bugging me. The sliding piece which resets the gun, I know where it is on the internal pic, but where is it on the outside, what do you grab or slide or move to pull forward or back the knob on the inside? Is the piece on the left side (which there are no pictures of)? Is the whole front of the gun a slide?

#28906 Powerclip Qestions

Posted by Namm on 19 June 2004 - 10:07 PM in Modifications

On plugging the release valve. There is a release valve on the air bladder itself, when it gets to its maximum size, or just before, the end of the bladder is forced up against the case of the gun, and a small push valve on the bladder lets out air. There is one of these on the wildfire and im pretty sure its on the rf20 too.

#23014 Finding Rpl Compression Springs

Posted by Namm on 31 March 2004 - 03:25 AM in Modifications

I got two compresion springs at home depot, they were short and very strong, and a little wider than a TT spring. I found them in the same department as the expansion springs. They arent all that useful though sense they're too short for rifles, and to strong for pistols, but suprisingly enough i managed to put one in a nightfinder, i didnt do anything to the catch either. They're really good for NFs but not much else.

Posted by Namm on 31 August 2004 - 03:17 AM in General Nerf

Well, thats odd. My nightfinder gets the same range as my lockandload does, almost exactly, and I get a higher ROF with the LnL. As far as grips go, the LnL feels much better in my hand than the NF, and we all agree its pertty-er.

AirApache, it isn't that weird to have two xbows is it? I have two, but then again, I use them both. I also had two friends a while back, each at different times, who managed to get their xbows thrown away by an angry parent (usually for leaving "red spots" on their siblings) before I could get them, if it werent for that I would now own four crossbows. Oh, and twenty-five is nothing, I had to pay 60 for one of mine (the other was free ^_^

#27921 At3k Vs At4k

Posted by Namm on 07 June 2004 - 03:29 AM in Modifications

I own two AT3ks, a Supermaxx 2500 (larami), a sm3k, and an at4k. The 4k has got to be one of the most difficult guns to pump that I've ever used; Because of the position of the pump, its extremely uncomfortable and very hard to use. Having no petg, and because the 4k has 12 barrels, it would no longer rotate if I were to multibarrel it. Instead i removed the rotating device, and thought i might be able to get some results out of single-ing it. Wrong. The 4k also has a very small airtank, and I could never get it to fire past 50 feet. The AT3Ks have been alright, but I've never gotten as good as results as everyone else. Mine consistantly hit 60, but will never go further, thats ok though, because its multibarreled. I used to have two sm3ks, but I over pumped the modded one, so now I have one that im working on, but currently is unmodded. The one that I sucsesfuly mod (before it broke) used to get around 70 foot ranges (blue sm3k). The Larami 2500 I have is excellent, but recently stopped firing (I think the trigger has just come off its tracks); however, before this happened it used to get much better ranges than my sm3k, though I never officially mesured it, it probably fired 80 or more feet. I find the Sm3k and Larami 2500 much, much easier to pump than the AT3k or 4k, especially the 2500, though the at3k isnt that bad. On size and accuracy, I think the AT3k and SM3k/2500 are about the same accuracy wise; as for size, although the 2500 is bigger, I find it extremely comfortable, the 3k is not quite as comfy, and because of the large diamiter pump tube it feels like its going to crack in half every time I pump it, and the AT3k is not bad, but I always feel like its almost too small, the small pump handle makes it feel as if there is much more resistance compared to the 2500.

#25252 Ultimate Artillery

Posted by Namm on 30 April 2004 - 08:22 PM in Homemades

It's not very practicle because, as i think you mentioned, you would only have one shot, probably throughout the whole war. Also, a while ago, somebody was convinced that they could use the same method you're talking about, to build a shotgun. I can't remember exactly what was said, but I think it was something about how it would fire the one barrel with the least resistance, and then just flow through that open barrel. If that happened you'd get one possibly decent shot, from one barrel, and the rest of the darts would flop out, or just not go anywhere.
