Have you ever heard of a game called Medal Of Honor?I must say, the backwards baseball cap did not scream "professional killer" to me.
Anyway I thought that this was fantastic! If none of us went to wars an were just regular joes then we would all say, "I've always wanted to shoot someone with a nerf gun while driving." Which I do!
Great film! Keep that atmospere in your films going!

I have a question, does the Spectre still have the same priming bar design like the Maverick where it breaks easily?

Heres the thing dude NO ONE USES NSTRIKE GUNS!
Next time take this bullshit to Nerf HQ.
Umm, what about nitefinders, magstrikes, and mavericks to name a few that are REGULARLY used at most wars.
No one likes a piss poor attitude, especially around the holidays dude...
I think this is a valid question, yet would be better fit to ask in a PM. I thought about doing this myself at one point. I think this would seem like a good idea to maybe make one of these for a war, along with normal clips. It could be used if oyu pretend to be reloading, then fire your shot. These only belong at wars. If you use these at a HvZ event at a college, it would not help you when trying to trick zombies...

Very creative, I love it.
I'm guessing you used a file to sand the E- Putty so it makes a nice seal on the plunger tube right? I could see that getting to an absolute mess for me. Do you have a special method for applying the Epoxy?

...I was at Home Depot with my dad one night. He need some adaptor for his RIGID Shop vac. I was done looking around so I waited with him until he was done. I noticed that RIGID also had vacuum tubes that attach to the Shop Vac. There were two pipes, so I picked the smaller one in dimaeter. I then took it over to the PVC and the end that was not tappered was perfect for the pump handle. All you need to do is cut it down before it tappers and you have a solid pump handle for half of the price!

Yeah, SC is a little slow in the noggin when it comes to getting anything, especially brass.
Thanks for the input guys.
Yeah NerfGeek, I would have tried threaded couplers, but I wanted the pump handle to feel connected. It's just so much nicer that way.
A word of warning: the tube I mentioned earlier is MUCH weaker that PVC, so don't try putting the strongest springs you got in it. I have two Home Depot springs in mind, and they should work just fine.

To start, here is my PAS with a CPVC speedloader. Universal Coupler, [k25]. Ranges are about 97' with good darts.
Trigger and Priming Bar were made by Louie. He makes great stuff.
And because I hate when all of you guys do this, MONEY SHOTZ YO!
Yeah, eat that.
For shits and giggles, I put on a flashlight. Works well too.

Materials:
1/2 PVC
5 1/2 PVC Elbows
Modded Lanard Shotgun (or any other blaster really)
Rope, String, or Twine
________________________________________________
1. Frame
The Frame is used to Hold the shotgun in place so it doesn't get pulled off the object it is placed on when the rope is pulled.
Take your shotgun
My Rigged Shotgun will be placed on my bed, so alterations may have to be made in the design if it is to be put on other objects. The Front is used to hold the Shotgun down, while the small section in the back is used to hold the frame on the bed. Here are some extra pictures:
This is how it will be placed.
It will be placed on the bed like this.
This is the way it will look once it is dropped in place.
____________________________________________________________2. The Lever
The Lever consists of a piece of PVC tied to the door with two elbows at the end to keep it in place. This is how it is placed:
Here it is without the trigger pulled:
Here it is pulled:
Finally, here it is put in place:
Tied to the door:

The rope is actually losser than you think. First, the lever is slightly pulled for the shotgun to be fired without too much force. Second, if you can see in the video, I have a small bedside table. When tension is put on the rope, it gets caught on this, instead opening very far, making it harder to fire when the door is opened only slightly. All you really have to is tie it too the door when the door is nearly closed. I sorta show this backwards in the video when I take the rope off the door. Hope this helps!This might have an obvious answer, but after setting this up how do you get out of the room?
Thanks for the comments guys!

#303676 Spud's Internal PVC Tee Catch Design
Posted by

Homemades
Flaws in the original design:
-Limited to a vertical peice of PVC as your handle.
-Unsigtly tee jutting out of your blaster
-Parts of a shotgunned version would be seperated
In this design, I fix all of these problems.
Here is some of my original sketches for the design:
Materials for the catch system:
-3/4 in PVC Tee
-2 #8? Finishing washers
-3/4 in CPVC
-1/2 in CPVC
-Small Home Depot Spring (Exact sizes in the writeup)
-washer in the catch (Exact sizes in the writeup)
-E-Tape
-Super Glue
-cut down 10-24x1 1/2 Bolt
-Dremel of any type with a cone shaped diamond sanding bit and metal cutting bit
-Drill with drill Bits
-8x1/2 screws (to bolt it in place)
-3/4 in PVC
-Epoxy Putty
-1 1/4 in PVC Coupler
-metal Angle Bracket
1 1/4 in PVC
Now to start, The only way to make the catch not jet out of the back of the Snap, is to make it internal. I have found that the bottom of the tee is not neccessary. Only the ridge on the inside of the fitting is.
First, grab your 3/4 inch PVC Tee
Then cut the Tee down. This part really doesn't matter. Just cut it down so it esaier to sand later.
From here, sand the tee down so it fits nicely in the 1 1/4 in PC. You may have to sand the the middle of the coupler down. It doesn't matter as long as you have the two end sections have the lip still. It is also important to sand the inside ot the tee so that the catch ring fits, as well as the plastic bit that is on the side of the tee. It will not fit unless this is sanded down.
Here is the Tee being test fit inside the PC.
Next, the internal parts of catch needs to be made. By using previous writup, cut your 3/4 inch PVC to the length of the Tee. Then cut a 1/2 inch section off for the catch ring. Then cut the excess in half for the two supporting ends. The purpose of these is to keep the Plunger rod in position, and to keep the catch ring from moving too much.
For the catch ring supports, wrap them in E-tape and fit them into both ends of the tee. Super glue them in place.
Now for creating the catch ring setup.
First, cut your 10-24x1 1/2 Bolt to about 2 cm.
For the washer, I used a washer with the OD of 1'', and the ID that is a little less than 5/16''.
For the spring, I used a spring in Home Depot's Assorted Spring Kit. The product number is #471864. The spring length is 13/16''. The diameter is about 1 cm. The spring needs to be cut down to between 8/16 and 9/16''. I used a bolt with a triangular shaped head. Your spring size may vary according to what type of screw you use.
I then took a #8? finishing washer, flipped it upside down, and glued it to the washer using super glue. The purpose of this is to keep the spring from moving around on the washer.
To help with this process, I used another finishing washer and placed it on the bolt head to keep the spring from slipping off the catch. Now just drill a centered hole through the CPVC and place the assembly on this. You may have to super glue the bolt to the CPVC for stability.
Again, here it is assembled:
Test fit the Catch in your tee. If it fits and the wacher is stable, then you have done something right.
Now in order to use this, you must make a sizable hole in the blaster in order to make sure that the catch can be released.
Once you have found the place you want you catch put in, mark a line on the PC from the center line inside of the tee.
I then drilled a 7/32 hole in the PC where I wanted the catch to be located. A higher caliber drill bit would be ideal, but that was the highest I had at hand. From there. take your diamond cutting cone bit on your dremel, and dremel out the PC until you can fit your catch ring in place.
From this:
To this:
Test fit the tee
Fit the catch ring in place:
In order to use this blaster, you must have an internal Trigger to fire it. I used a modified version of BoltSniper's PVC handle. It is angled, and is attached to half of a 1 and 1/4'' PVC coupler using Epoxy Putty.
I then drilled a hole in the center of the Coupler that would fit over the bolt in the catch.
Now test fit the handle on the PC.

How the Angle bracket is placed on bolt:
Well, that is pretty much it. Nothing much else to it. The catch seems well secured and the catch is very hard to release. However, with the help of the lever action from the trigger, this will be very easy to do.
I used two Home Depot springs and a neoprene washer setup for my pull back Snap. Ranges and firing test are in the video.

You may want to PM rork
Or you could ask me since I live in SC. Have you heard from Rork recently BTW? I have been more than a little curious on where he has been. ;D
Yeah, I live in the capital. However, Not a lot goes down up here. I would just suggest waiting until another GA war comes out, go to it, meet some people, then host a war. Peope tend to go to wars of people they know. Nice that there is another SC nerfer. Welcome!

Please tell me you don't use those spider guts-splatted darts at wars.
Wouldn't be the first time someone did (looks at NoM). Got shot in the mouth by a Teebow with spider guts covered dart. Was quite enjoyable too. (Just messin' around NoM

As far as the trigger, it may be because your nail is too long, your clothespin is cut too short, or yes, the clothespin may not be strong enough to support the spring. Wal-Mart has a big pack of hefty plastic clothespins that are slightly bigger. This may help you, and with a little E-Putty, your blaster should preform better.
Hope to see more of your work soon.

I seriously doubt that this could work at all. I don't know if you know the strength of PVC, but it does have limits. Even with the epoxy, and screw, the PVC around this area may start to give, overtime breaking off. Or your epoxy could give out, and the head of the screw would pull it's way out of the hole. Use Nerf's Longshot as an example. People have their boltsleds breaking all the time, just because the bolt is pulled from one side, and that's all the way through the boltsled, unlike your idea. If you say it's possible, then try it and prove me wrong! However that seems like a slim chance to happen.You would definitely need to use something solid, like a 5/8" dowel rod. The way I'd do it is epoxy it in place on the piston, and then drill a hole on the opposite side. That way you could fit a scredriver/drillbit in to drill a hole through both the piston and the dowel, that you could then run a screw through. You'd have to use a relatively big screw; I'd probably use 1/4", though that might be a little big.

Considering that the screw he used is barely an inch long, I would have no doubt it would hold. Since the screw you would need would be near 5 inches, the length of it would be the problem. Same thing happens when you try to ben a 4' section of PVC, and a 5'' section of PVC.Take a look at the quixote's priming mechanism. If you use a large enough scerw, combined with the epoxy you probably won't have problems. It's a moot point anyway- nesting the spring inside the piston would not allow signifcant shortening of the blaster.

"The blaster is pumped by sliding the bolt back as you load the gun, you do have to pull it back multiple times though. "Do you pump it by cycling the bolt multiple times before loading the dart in? Also, I must say that I am relieved that this blaster does not use shells as those are a royal pain.

Also to include how people moving, or influential modders in the NIC have made more Nerfers in areas of the world. Example would be SGnerf, Athanie, Psyk in the areas of Asia, and The Unholy 3 in the North West (correct me if I am wrong there).

Sounds like a cool war you got going there. The only thing is, is that A LOT of people that participate in Nerf Wars, bring either modded guns, and or homeades with homeade darts. Plus, the lack of any grammar, and the age limit of 11-14 really makes me think you aren't very qualified to host a war. But that's just me. There is a really great amount of wars in the South East, mostly in GA. If you would like to attend a war, go ahead, there are some coming up. Otherwise, I would doubt that anyone would actually show up.
