#137011 Zaler- Heavily Modded Longshot.

Posted by Prometheus on 23 January 2008 - 07:36 PM in Modifications

Mine has the tubing removed, but I have another magstrike pump that has been coupler modded with a barbed hose fitting epoxied on and it can now accept 1/4" vinyl tubing. I might have a 1/4" to 1/8" reducer kicking around. I also believe the magstrike has a larger pump, but not exactly sure, never opened my hornet.

With 2 pages, confusion will increase, and there will be even more shit filling up the boards. CX would rip the shit out of whoever filled up the forums when everybody (or at least some of us) try to keep it clean. I'm with OMC on this one. Give 'em hell OMC.

#116413 Working On An Ls At2k Integration

Posted by Prometheus on 19 July 2007 - 07:25 AM in Modifications

You`ll need to replace the barrel to get better ranges. More power and a shitty barrel will do little. Also, a better barrel will really increase accuracy, as well as effective utilization of air.

It`s cool and all, but alot of the vets around here, ask why as it lowers your ROF. Perhaps there is something else here that you are trying to accomplish here...

#134872 Wood Tipped Stefan

Posted by Prometheus on 03 January 2008 - 07:57 PM in Homemades

Um what I meant was possible to break windows if you get a gun powerful enough (100+ranged) and shoot it fairly closely. I have shot at a window 5 paces away with my (maverick, Speed loader , {Maxshot 10 paces})
and didn't break the glass and I didn't dare shoot it with my singled titan. Its not as painful as you think my sister who dint know took 2 shots for me 1 wood tipped 1 washer stefan(about 2 paces away) . She said ouch to both but when i asked her which one hurt more and she said the washer stefan hurts more because it stings.My theory is the impact area is less for the wood tipped therefore spreading out the force of impact ...

That is contradictory. If the impact area is large, the force is spread out, but if it is small, then the force is more concentrated, and hurts more.

#97692 Wired Darts?

Posted by Prometheus on 04 January 2007 - 01:00 PM in General Nerf

Ok, 2" for a micro stefan is almost as long as I am using. Watch how deep your weight are, because if the are too close to the center, then they can fishtail. Obviously the two weights are too much, as that is causing the dart to flip over. I am using 1 3/4" micro stefans with some type of screw in the end, and when sitting on a flat surface, they sometimes want to stand on end. However bas as this might sound, the fly very straight and accurate, and they are accurate to around 50 feet, depending on the gun. Watch also if your weights are off-centre along the length of the dart. This can cause it to rotate as it exits the barrel, which more often than most results in fishtailing or at least bad accuracy.

I should be okay to make it, no tests/finals/midterms in sight, plus I might be able to drive myself and a few others. Anyone know if Cardiac Kid is in? I might be able to give him a lift from campus here at UofG.

Posted by Prometheus on 20 January 2008 - 12:37 AM in Nerf Wars

Ok, so my car is getting safetied, things are looking better by the minute.

Cardiac Kid - you'll be in Mississauga or Guelph for then? If you are here in Guelph, I can give you a lift. I'm in East (ECO-house), and my extension is 72066. Give me a ring sometime.

If anyone is interested, I am looking to get rid of an old magstrike for parts, no bladder.

I also have a stock titan and a stock hornet I would like to sell or trade. PM me an offer.

See you all in less than one week.

Let's get this fucker on! I am almost 100% I will be driving, so if anyone needs a ride from Guelph (Cardiac Kid?) I have room for a few. Max of 4 passengers, unless you like to ride stick (then you'll be on the roof). See y'all there.

Posted by Prometheus on 29 May 2007 - 11:14 PM in General Nerf

It depends if you think it's worth it. I paid $17 USD for an AT3K with shipping to Canada, and I payed double for my LS. Some say the AT3K as a rip, but I us it more than my LS any day. It is all up to as to whether you consider it a good investment.

#108091 Where To Buy Modding Materials

Posted by Prometheus on 29 May 2007 - 12:12 AM in Modifications

I recently went to a TSC farm store, and discovered that there is indeed three types of PVC, as I previously thought there was two. There is 200 psi thinwall, SCH40/80, and electrical conduit, which is a dark grey in colour. I've always assumed that the electrical conduit was SCH40. Is there any significant differences, other than size limitations? I've used 1/2" conduit for a prototype pressure tank, and it will hold 70 psi no problem, and 120 psi is the assumed upper limit. Anything else I should be wary of between SCH40 and the electrical conduit?

#120318 Where To Buy Modding Materials

Posted by Prometheus on 18 August 2007 - 06:18 PM in Modifications

I've found copper pipes at Lowes. is there really any difference between that and brass?

Yes. Copper is copper, whereas brass is a copper and zinc alloy. Brass is usually more corrosion resistant, and more malleable than copper or zinc.

Some hobby shops stock it. Just look around if you live in the city, or go to the city and look around. Never know what you'll find.

#131999 Where Do I Find Plasti Dip?

Posted by Prometheus on 10 December 2007 - 10:27 PM in Homemades

What exactly is Plasti-Dip?

Why post if you dont know?

Plasti-dip can be found in a tools section of most hardware stores and is normally used to dip your tool handles in to make them more comfortable. But check you tool section then ask people if you can't find it.

'Tis a valid question asshole.

Plasti-dip is a variety of compounds, depending on what we are talking about. Most times, it's a elastomer that is somewhat soluble in something such as acetone, and when something is dipped in, and then withdrawn, the acetone (solvent) evaporates, allowing the elastomer to stiffen.

At least, that is the plasti-dip I have used in the past.

#106041 Whats Your Favorite Fast Food Places?

Posted by Prometheus on 16 May 2007 - 10:21 PM in Off Topic

Definitely Subway. They're the shit.

The argument wasn't about his maturity. It was about him backfiring when he said he wasn't offended. I don't care if he is grown up or not, he said he wasn't offended but he responded as if he was. You told me to apologize for a mistake. What mistake? Did I offend OMC while thinking that I didn't. According to OMC, I didn't. So please just get over your brown-nosing selves and shut up. If OMC really had a problem with what I said, he'd ban me or still be on here being defensive. He doesn't have a problem so neither should you.

Wally, I like the stuff but others like to believe in what idiots say and claim they don't like it but then eat it.

Look, Gregory House (anagram: Huge Ego, Sorry) kind of like OMC, has a slightly different from the norm ego. They both act differently (in a neutral way), as they're ego is altering the perspective. Most of the time, this provides entertainment for us, as they both are more direct with their approach. I am NOT saying that the way they act is bad, but we are all unique and how we interpret things determines our reactions, and our reactions determine our next actions. Perhaps CH misunderstood OMC. Everybody else didn't, obviously, but CH isn't everybody else. So shit people, let's get on with life. CH appears to be in the wrong, just because of his interpretation, which resulted in a wrong reaction and then wrong actions. Like, shit, let's ummm, I dunno, end this?

My AT3K cost my $17 USD on ebay, but it was worth it (in my opinion). Look around the trading threads, they pop up on occasion.

I would recommend an AT2K or AT3K, easy to mod, excellent guns. Definitely some of my favourites.

Try making CaptainSlug darts, they are really easy to make, cheaper to make, and preform just as well.

Where do you get your washers and felt pads? Haven't found the pads in large quantities anywhere, and the washers are non-existent at the time.

#139105 What Is So Good About The Nightfinder?

Posted by Prometheus on 07 February 2008 - 07:37 AM in General Nerf

Why?
Well, several reasons.

-Reliability
If you ever look inside a Nitefinder, you will see a very simple set up of a plunger, a plunger tube, a catch, and a barrel. The only complex thing in there is the light, which most everyone rips out at some point. This is a huge reason why the LnL is so popular; simplicity at it's best.

-Performance
Not only does the Nitefinder reliably shoot a plenty far for a sidearm, it also has a fairly quick reload. Earlier, there was someone talking about two types of reload speed, Burst rate of fire is over a short amount of time, something the Maverick excels in. The other (I forget the name of this one...) is over a longer period of time, something the Nitefinder at least matches the Maverick in. Sure you can get off 6 shots way quicker than with a Nitefinder, but by the time you reload the whole turret, I bet I can get off my 5th-6th shot and be almost ready for the next.

-Availability
The Nitefinder is widely available all over the place, and for a cheap cost. I think Nitefinders over here are right around $7, with Mavericks being more like $10.

Just overall, the Nitefinder seems to win over the Maverick, and so it is the most popular sidearm for Nerfers.
Now, I'm not saying Mavericks are bad, despite other people's opinions. I think there's a place for them, and with proper modification, they can be quite good. Give it a swappable clip, a stronger spring, a more reliable rotating mechanism and some reinforcement. You should probably be able to hit 50' consistently with great rate of fire. Use it for rushing, defending, cover fire, etc. and it can be prove to be quite useful.

Yeah, Slug mentioned burts ROF and sustained ROF. A Magstrike has a high burst ROF, where as something like the AT3K or LS has a decent sustained ROF.

#107825 What Not To Do With A Titan And A 410 Shotgun Shell

Posted by Prometheus on 27 May 2007 - 05:40 PM in General Nerf

Yeah, a guy my Dad once knew took a 12-Gauge shell and held it with vice-grips... then smacked it with a hammer. My Dad said it's a shame it only took off part of his face and hand. Let this be a lesson to our stupider people here... We don't want your stupidity and imminent death linked to us at all.

If I am not mistaken, I always thought that pressure gauges measure how much above atmospheric pressure is there.

If you have a PVC tube that is open on both ends and you put a pressure gauge onto it, it will read zero PSi.

This does not mean that inside the PVC tube it is a vacuum.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct.
