#198116 Extremely Easy Longshot Jam Door Mod

Posted by iMod1 on 22 December 2008 - 06:21 PM in Modifications

Not trying to hijack your mod, but a much easier way would be to just simply put the bolt cover behind the boltsled. I've done it accidentally many times.

#198098 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 22 December 2008 - 05:21 PM in Modifications

It is actually very accurate with some stefans and the long barrel that I have. I just cut the bladder in half like imaseoulman was talking about, and I love it. 9-10 pumps for the same ranges. Oh and, if anything, I would definitely have my recon for secondary. I just removed the AR and it pretty much kicks ass (as hard as it may be to believe). Plus i don't have a NF at the moment.

Firstly, I hope this does not count as a necro, because for one I have useful information, and two, it has only been about two weeks or so. The useful information I have is actually an update on the gun. I have some new additions that you might find "entertaining". This is the gun with a brand new scope I found at walmart for $7. An incredible steal, it's a Daisy Air Rifle scope, 4x15.

I do not take credit for this, I only thought of It after watching Angel's titan video. I love the scope and calibrated it just this morning. As for the other update, I thought a smiley face (also not my original idea) on the front of the gun would do nicely. Here it is...

I was able to hit the large circle on a tagger vest from the length of my house (about 40 feet), so (insert british accent) I should be able to shave the stubble off your face at 500 yards!!

I haven't been able to do any really long range tests as it is raining outside -_- I like the rain, but not when it interferes with mah guns.

#197101 Twilight Review.

Posted by iMod1 on 18 December 2008 - 11:07 PM in Off Topic

I was about to go off at all you guys for being gay bitches, then I saw bionicle. Bionicle was good enough to spare my harsh flaming silensnipe, if there is ever a thread without it, you are in trouble. But yes I am a lego nerd and proud to say it, and I have all the second series toa. I don't really like where they are going with the new stuff though, I think they just need to keep it basic good guy/bad guy stuff.

#196659 Titan Pvc Problems

Posted by iMod1 on 16 December 2008 - 10:26 PM in Modifications

Well, I am not sure about the specifics, but I know that the same thing happens in my longer barrels as well. I usually wash some water inside and that can cure the problem.

#196655 Titan Pvc Problems

Posted by iMod1 on 16 December 2008 - 10:21 PM in Modifications

Darts or stefans? Darts make that noise from high powered guns when they generally do something other than going straight down the barrel. The WERMP noise is the dart head scraping and bouncing against the wall of the barrel.



#196587 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 16 December 2008 - 06:48 PM in Modifications

Huh. I think the half bladder idea might work better though. Because if I did do the valve, I would either need to rig it up to the MS trigger (that would be hard, especially with the force required to open up a ball valve) or find some way to expose it on the outside for ease of use. For the half bladder though, I would, theoretically, just need to pump it 15 times as opposed to 30, and probably get the same ranges. Plus, I was messing around with barrels and such, and I decided to put a crayola over the chamber release "hole" and with a 6" barrel and 10 pumps, I got around 60-70 which would only be five pumps with a half bladder. Man I wish I didn't have finals otherwise I'd be done with it already. <_<

#196416 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 15 December 2008 - 08:12 PM in Modifications

Well, there is actually nothing inbetween the bladder and the tank. That is actually what imaseoulman did with Arachnophobia II, because he kept the stock MS valve to "refill" the tank from the bladder. That is not what I did. The only reason it gets those good ranges is because it empties all (actually most) of the air in the bladder. So to make it semi auto I would have to put a valve in there.

#196148 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 14 December 2008 - 04:23 PM in Modifications

Well, I've been experimenting with some barrels, and a long two foot barrel with 30 pumps seems to give some quite impressive accuracy, but only goes about 30 feet. The shorter barrel is what gave the insano titan ranges, but indoors, couldn't hit a 2' x 2' piece of cardboard. Any suggestions for barrel length?



#195947 Making A Magstrike Pistol

Posted by iMod1 on 13 December 2008 - 08:23 PM in General Nerf

If you look at the pheonix that is what I doing to mine except I need a new trigger valve


I could not find one anywhere. Therefore, I decided to use an AT2k tank.

Oh, and JSB, a singled magstrike has been done. It's called the Phoenix.

#195924 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 13 December 2008 - 06:00 PM in Modifications

Yes the larger diameter allows all the air to release. The pumping is somewhat annoying, but the shot is worth it. Oh and cutting the bladder in half? That is a pretty crazy idea (in a good way) but yes you are right, there is after one shot about five pump's worth of air leftover. I might have to think about that half bladder thing though... ;)

#195913 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 13 December 2008 - 05:26 PM in Modifications

Thanks guys! Soothsayer: Yes I hooked up the at2k tank to the bladder, so I would say that the bladder is filled and fills the tank; the tank just allows it to release quickly.

Ok this is my first post on the Haven, so I am used to Badger's bandwidth limitations. Will do.

#195892 The Phoenix

Posted by iMod1 on 13 December 2008 - 03:47 PM in Modifications

Hello everyone, as Nerfdude has noticed, I am rather excited about this mod. I am 100% sure that this mod has not been done before (As in posted on the forums), but Arachnophobia II comes rather close. In addition, this mod was done of the period of several months, so I only have a limited amount of pictures, only at the beginning and at the very end. If you plan to do this mod, I have one
DISCLAIMER:
This mod will ruin a magstrike. If you like your magstrike’s capability to fling lots of foam very fast, then this mod is not for you. If you are willing to do this to be able to single the magstrike, then read further.

This mod originated when I accidentally broke the plunger tube of the Magstrike and tried to repair it with duct tape -

However, I could not get it to work. Before I thought of junking it, I noticed the perfectly good bladder and a plan began to form in my mind.

Materials:
• Magstrike
• AT2k Chamber
• Superglue / Gorilla Glue
• ¾ x 25 Polyethylene Tubing
• Plumbers Glue
• At least 3 feet of ½” PVC Pipe (5feet recommended in case of screw ups)
• One ½” PVC Elbow, Tee (Three way connector), coupler, and 45° angle Connector
• Keyring
• One foot of either string, copper wire, or other strong wire (twine would not be good because it will wear down)
• Duct tape

Obviously, you need to open the gun up. There is a small piece of plastic glued at the base of the pump, cut it or spend half an hour trying to pry it off (what I did).

Now first, as FA_24 pointed out, the stock valve is a stinky piece of poop. Soooo, you can cut out the entire top half of the system. Yes you heard me right. Cut the tubing, piston, valve, all the way to the bladder, including the tubing connecting the pump to the bladder. Don’t throw it away, it slides in nicely into the larger tubing for connections.

Find a drill size that matches the width of the tubing, and drill about half an inch into the back of the pump. Unscrew the plastic piece that holds the bladder in place, once you have the bladder, yank off yet another plastic piece that protrudes inside. There should be two holes on the piece, drill them all the way through.

Cut one and a half inches of tubing and glue the ends to the pump and one hole in the bladder.

Now for the AT2k tank. Cut off the annoying little orange goo gauge. It leaked twice then the rubber washer in the middle blew up.

Next, get about a foot of the tubing and connect one end to the bladder and the other to the 2k chamber. Because the “ledge” where the input for the chamber is somewhat small, I put a twist tie around it to seal it even more so. It should look like this…

For the coupler, add 5-6 layers of duct tape around the coupler to make it the width of the chamber. Then superglue the coupler to the chamber, then duct tape both the coupler and chamber with 3-4 layers of the good stuff.

Posted Image

In order to rig up the trigger system, tie the wire material around the firing pin and tie it on a keyring. Don’t worry about that until the secondary grip is in place.

Now for the stock and the new grip. Cut the length of pipe for the stock that suits you the best, I have it as about a foot and a half. Same goes for the grip, however long you want it. You need to have the PVC Tee wrapped in duct tape only about once or twice to fit in the very back of the gun.

Posted Image

Now that the PVC stock is done, cut three holes – one in the back of the stock handle, and two under the bottom of the top part of the gun. Be sure to cut the little pieces of plastic sticking out in the top shell where the chamber and the PVC stock are, they do not allow the shell to close completely.

Posted Image

Place the 2k chamber where the old MS plunger tube released, it fits perfectly with the duct tape put on earlier. It should look like this when done.

Ranges (30 pumps):
155
159
152
157

NO B.S.

Didn’t even bother to check angled ranges as they are so insanely far that they span from one of my neighbor’s yard, across mine, to past my next neighbor’s yard.

I am most likely sure that many people will call my ranges fake, stupid, BS, whatever. They are real. Originally I used the stock tubing, but it was too small and only allowed short bursts of air. In addition, it was very leaky. I decided to screw it and get some new stuff. The tubing I used was wider, and because I widened all the places where it was used, I effectively allowed all the air to be released at once, giving you the titanish ranges you see. And best of all… NO LEAKS!!!

If you know of anyone that has done this same exact thing before, then they have truly done it first and I could not find it. Although Arachnophobia II was singled, it still used the stock valve to pressurize the tank, which in turn was fired. In this mod, the tank and bladder release all the air at the same time, so not exactly like it.

I don’t see why everyone likes to put the final pictures at the top, and especially because I worked on it so hard, I would like them to see the design I had to think up and make work. So now… finally… NIC, I present to you...

The Phoenix!

I really can’t do fancy paintjobs, and because just plain silver looked so nice on it, I decided to keep it just silver.

Hope you enjoyed this modification write up!
