Dude, it's a bow. Meant for Killing things. And you made it do what? Fire a "safe" foam projectile at someone? Not the brightest move man, that could actually cause some major harm dude. For example, a freak string snapping occurance could easily damage you, and firing it at someone's chest could injure their eyes, given the innacuracy of a nerf dart. Try it on some of the nerf glasses bro, and see what kind of harm it'll do to the glasses.
To be fair here, arrows are made to kill things, not bows specifically. The original Nerf Bow N' Arrow worked on similar principles as this (except it was spring-powered rather than string-powered, though the difference is negligible, really) and it was safe enough to use.
I don't particularly see this as being a viable, useful Nerf weapon, but let's be realistic here. Suddenly it's okay to make a singled Titan or something that can hit over a hundred feet, but not this? It's not like he's firing darts out of something with gunpowder or any other combustible.

It seems too bulky with an 18 round drum to be a decent sidearm, and there really is no point in doing this to just put in a 6 round clip. But this thing would be a great primary in HvZ, pistol rounds, and places with no super long range guns.
Fast reload would be a reason to do this for 6-round clips IMO.
Though if 10 rounds isn't enough for your sidearm, I think you might be screwed anyway.
Then again, modded this thing can get 40-50 ft ranges, so it might be a semi-decent replacement as a primary for HvZ or something, like you said.

Wow. This is the same price as a Maverick. I can see this replacing the maverick as the cheap, high ROF blaster for the little kiddies.
Making a Barricade Manta would be awesome. Dual wielding them...
It's not the same price as a Maverick. But it is a pretty good deal.
EDIT: On another note, It'd be cool to see this with a minimization mod as well, i.e. making the side parts that accommodated the turret smaller so the entire blaster could be thinner.

Has anyone else noticed that the trigger pull is kind of odd? Like you have to pull it really hard/far to get it to shoot, and even then it sometimes doesn't fire right away? I think it has to do with the "slam-fire" mechanism, because if you hold the shotgun grip farther forward, it's easier to shoot. If you let it "float", it can be more difficult.
EDIT: Just did an AR removal, results are pretty impressive. This is actually a really decent little blaster for the price. Good ammo capacity and ROF, coupled with decent range. I could see using this as a primary in an indoor war or perhaps a (albeit larger) secondary in an outdoor one.

*cool mod stuff*
Thoughts?
I really like this design, primarily because it seems like you could easily remove the stock if you wanted to use the gun without it. I also like the idea that adding the stock adds range, making it more beneficial to convert the gun to the "rifle" configuration. Makes sense that the "rifle" should have more range than the "pistol".
Anyway, nice work. I do see your concern with the stock's locking mechanism, though, since it's just a tiny piece of plastic, but maybe if it was replaced with metal or something it would be stronger.

I would just use a piece of wire and etape.
I don't know much about electonics, but would using two unprotected and one standard battery just lower the voltage or bring it up to 9.9v? SGnerf said that 12.6 was too much and the motors didn't work, and this might be the happy medium.
You typically don't want to mix battery types and voltages.

And like SGNerf said, using 9-volt batteries isn't a good idea for this application because they have really low capacity, especially in a relatively high-current situation like this.

Does anyone know where to source those AAA to AA adapters for making the "empty" battery cells? The ones on DealExtreme look like they don't have a bottom piece (making them worthless for this applications) and they're out of stock anyway. I haven't been able to find ones like SGNerf uses online anywhere.
If I can't find any, I guess the only option is to find a bolt/wire to jam/solder in between the contacts in the gun itself with no casing.
I just bought a few of them... let me see if I can dredge up a location... I'll edit this post once I get the name of the company.
EDIT: I found the source: Click Here (2 Pack for 2.26 USD)
UPDATE:
So, after I ordered these (at least a couple weeks ago, in fact), I never heard anything until I finally got them today. And as it turns out, they are NOT the enclosed type with the spring that are shown in the picture, but rather the same as the ones DealExtreme makes (with no spring and simply an open bottom for the negative terminal). Obviously these don't work for the Barricade, so I'm kind of upset. I'll email the company, as you must have gotten the correct ones (I assume anyway) and they gave me the others.

If any real electronics experts out there can elaborate further on how the safety feature works, it would be helpful to us all.
If someone took a close-up detailed picture of the PCB I might be able to figure it out.

Also, on a sidearm, it would look retarded.

Honestly, the Stampede shield is pretty stupid and not really large enough to protect you at all. I guess if you were down to using a sidearm you could shove it on there and try to move it around to protect yourself, but on the Stampede itself it's not like you're going to be able to flail the gun around to position the shield where you need it to be.
Also, on a sidearm, it would look retarded.
How big is it and whats the size difference between it and the Manta? Also what about the Stonewall shield? Its a pretty decent size.
I don't have a Manta so I can't comment on that, but the Stampede shield is probably a little less than a foot across and maybe 6-8 inches high, if that.

Does the silencer actually work? From what I've read, it just "looks" like a silencer...
Lol, what kind of a question is that? Of course it doesn't.

Hey quick question, sorry if this has been said before, anyone know the size of the stampede sheild vs the manta ray?
It is exactly one foot (12") wide and, at it's longest point, 9.5" tall. The actual height from the rail to the top of the shield, though, is 4.5".

i'm very interested on how you load it!
I would think that it is loaded by breaking the barrel like on the double shot or something like that.
But it looks like it uses the whistler darts, which have a tip larger than the body. So I'm wondering how you rear-load those things as well.
EDIT: At this point, my guess is that you simply break open the barrels and then load the darts into the rear of the gun. The front barrels are likely only for show/some semblance of accuracy. Which really would be fairly pointless, IMO.

Thats what I think, so we we could just unscrew the hinge CPVC it and use it like that.
Yep, it'd be pretty cool as just a two-shot front-loading blaster, if the range was decent (or able to be modded to be decent).
