You'll do a lot better if you spread the lips with the front. Trying to wriggle the back in there first seems a bit counterintuitive.

As far as brass breeches go, I don't see why you'd have to rotate the barrel Zorn,
Since the mechanism is open at rest, trying to load magazines at rest has a high chance of ruining your half-pipe. Rotating it during loading and "almost firing" the blaster seem the two simplest, if not most ideal solutions.

Uhh, so I entered the chat, and was banned by Chanserv in about a minute... I hadn't even typed anything yet. After the ban it said in parentheses "tantrumbullshit", so I'm guessing this wasn't a glitch/accidental. I'm posting here because I didn't get a chance to see who was admin.

The downside is that this sometimes also catches other members, so if you get auto-kicked or are continuously unable to join the chat, PM me or post here and I'll go about figuring out how to set an exception.

If you are using the "share on forums / BBCode" feature of Flickr, I'm not sure there is a way to disable the attribution. The best way is to manually delete that stuff as you paste it in.
I just cleaned up your OP in bulk by matching this following regex pattern:
and replacing all instances of it with a null character.
The only assumption this pattern makes is that your Flickr image names all start with an alphanumeric character, and do not contain a comma. If your images did in fact contain commas then I would have to replace the very efficient possessive tail pattern [^,]*+, on Flickr with something like .*?, on Flickr which would still fail if any of your image titles contained the phrase ", on Flickr"

They're cheaper, easier to install, and hold in wood better.Yes, I do mean #6-32 machine screws. I know the difference between different screws are and I know that there are a wide variety of head options, but for this application, machine screws work just fine. I've never done test trying to deliberately pull or rip the handle off, but it has held up to dropping and normal blaster wear.
Are wood screws more expensive than machine screws?
There's really no reason to not be using wood screws to hold in your handles.

For McMaster springs that are meant to be cut-to-length, spring constant is not very useful as it changes with the length of the spring.
What is constant for a given coils-per-inch, wire diameter, coil diameter, and material, is the total load bearing force.

A common laptop battery mod is to open up the casing (doesn't work with Macs for obvious reasons) and replacing the stock batteries with much more durable ones after the originals start to die. So to reemphasize what wes said, avoid doing the reverse and putting laptop batteries into a much harsher environment. Low quality batteries quickly deteriorate under stop-and-start drain/recharge.

If its any good I may get it. I heard shit reviews. Whats you're opinion?
I am ranked in like the top 2% of the world after 7 hours of guest passing, so I am probably pretty biased here :V
It's definitely the best RTS game out right now hands down. But the RTS genre and computer games in general is losing right now to console and console imitation (basically all of steam :V) games. eSports is also not very popular in North America as compared to Europe and Asia.
Single player is pretty awesome. The matchmaking is also really good though, even if battle.net2.0 has less features than the original from 1995...

You should expand your design goal 2) to be more specific:
2a) Doesn't look like a paintball gun / airsoft gun (necessary for public nerfing in the USA)
2b) Doesn't cost more than an ESLT / [insert mid-range airsoft blaster here] (low barrier to entry for nerfing)
2c) Runs at low pressure (additional safety measure to make the design idiot-proof)
2d) Requires hand pumping / intentionally gimped ROF (otherwise you should just go play airsoft)

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm going to be buying material for captain slug's washer/felt stefans, and wanted to know if I could buy the foam in incriments of something between 25' and 250'. Optimally I would like 100'.
Here is the link to the part in question.
Thanks!
Here is what you want.
Same exact thing you linked to, but in 20' sections instead of 250' sections. I know you want it in 25'+, but is ordering 4x25' that much different from 5x20'?

Oh god no.
The rubber band method will fail, because a strong band will deform your blanks, while a weak one will allow them to slide, giving you non-flat ends and defeating the purpose.
If you're going to use the PVC setup, why not just put the foam in and cut it there?

Why reinvent the wheel? Why not get people more easily to the point where they have the ability to make tried-and-true homemade and innovate from there?
Because if you have to be spoon-fed the materials, then you clearly don't understand why they were chosen, and consequently the product is going to be sub-par.
Also, see:
I see a thread like this bordering into the territory of "tell me what I should use because I don't know how to make decisions for myself", also know as "Wut iz best".

If you think putting all the information in a single location is "spoon feeding" then we should get rid of all the directories, write-ups and hell, even this forum. Because their purpose is the same: Bring information together to make it more accessible.
Writeups aim to teach people. This directory, while useful for replication, is not instructive at all. There's no mention of why certain products are chosen instead of others, or how we are supposed to fit 1/8"x1/4" tubing into a push-button valve whose openings are threaded for 10-32 UNF pipe thread (either just glue it in or get a tube fitting adapter to convert 1/8" ID tubing or 1/4" OD tubing, depending on barbed or compression fitting, into 10-32 thread).
Now, the OP started this thread under the presumption that most people have difficulty browsing mcmaster for the parts they want, not that we should have a bullet list of assorted products, which, without more description of what the items are and how they interact, promotes imitation rather than innovation. To address the problem OP identified, I did a short video tutorial on McMaster:

This would be a great gun for a plunger replacement. Basically if you could fit an LS plunger in there it would work well.
Why not take the drum mag and put it in an LS?
Even if you fit the LS plunger tube in and got it to catch correctly on the new plunger rod, you wouldn't have slam fire anymore.

I actually care more that it has a 4" priming stroke. You get a lot more leeway in making a breech with that amount of room to play with.
For comparison, my BBB has only a 3.5" priming stroke, which gives me only .5" of leeway on the breech since the nerf magazines are 3" long. Divide that among the 4 sections that take up space, and you're suddenly running out of room. Compensation either goes to more dead space (dart further away from plunger tube) or less reliable mag feed.
With the raider, all those problems will go away

I spot 2 triggers for the catch plate. I guess that's how slam fire works.
Also, a singe metal bar linking the shotgun handle to the boltsled? Fail.

I find that the slam fire is not as smooth on mine as it is on any of my Raiders, but I may just have a slightly less good one, as QC seems an issue on these from what I've read across the NIC. Anyone else notice this, or do I have a bad one?
The mechanism is the same on both the raider and the alpha tropper, but it seems like the raider's "slam fire bar" has a bit more contact area with the boltsled. Maybe just enough to be beyond the threshold for variance.

Question about this mod guys. Only my 2nd attempt at modding so sorry for the noob question.
Ok I've drilled ok some stuff out of it. In the back of the tube it looks like theres a ring with 3 pieces of plastic coming out of it attaching itselfs to the tube. Do I remove that ring?
You don't have to. Those pieces are what originally supported the air restrictor. If you want to go for completion the remove it, but if it is going to be too much effort don't bother. You've already opened up airflow in the barrel by quite a lot.

Seeing everyone again was excellent, especially with more regional representation this year as well. Hopefully I'll get the chance to come out again next year!
The only things I would improve would be having better dart supply (hopefully mass produced artifact domes will solve this in the near future) so that downtime is minimized, everyone can have standardized barrels and use any darts, and that way we can play more rounds.
