TOpic is extremely old, and so old that I forgot that I had asked it, and was about to reply to the person that i had the same problem until I switched the barrel to brass, until I realized it was me who asked the question.

I tried to modify my expandablast, but it only shoots about 20 feet. 
What I did was remove all the usless extra stuff, then i glued 2 pvc cuplers to a 8 inch piece of cpvc, then shoved it down the barrel untill it was snug. I then bought a new spring, but it would not catch so i had to use the old one. I put the gun back together, added some ruberbands, and tried it but was very dissapointed. With no dart in it, when i put my had infront of the barrel and shoot, i can feel tons of air comming out, but it dosnt shoot the dart very far. Am i using the wrong type of barrel? Should i use brass instead?
Thanx

Overall the philly guys had a great time.
We got smoked the first round when we were teamed up on, but its all good cause we should have been more smart anyway, and not have gotten caught in between both other teams.
The pistol wars were really phat.
Dave was kinda bumbed that he couldnt use his titen, because he just made it. And talio, by the way the barrels are not pteg, they are airline tubing inside of pvc.
We don't mindthe nicknames, and by the way, we are still calling Tom, The Mouth. (he dosnt mind)
One last comment: Our ammo sucks, but I can't yell at anyone cause im the one who made it
I think our foam is to thick, because i have to twist it to get it into my barrels, and they get all squished, and when i fire it they explode when they come out of the barrel.
Gotta go to Home Depot, and find the type of FBR that Hersh and Talio use. I think its like frost king or something.
And thanks to the lglf for hosting the war.
To bad warlock couldnt make it, sorry i forgot the brass.

They are the only kind i make since i can get tacks much easier than fish weights or bb's
They dont hurt that much more than the others, but of course you dont stick the pointy end of the tack out or you would puncture someone's skin.

I modded my Tech target gun with 4 inches of 9/16 inch brass and 1 inch of 17/32, and i got ok results. I took it apart then put a 6 inch piece of cpvc on it, and the gun shot much harder and faster. I thought brass was suppost to work better on this gun.

Sad to say, I do not think the scout is gonna be good. I opened mine up to find a small spring, with a small plunger. The barrel is not replacable because its part of the plunger. The air restricters are extreamly hard to take out. I finally took mine out and got about 30 feet at max. It is not rubberbandable. I then replaced the spring with a first shot spring. It increased the distance to maby 40. Overall, the gun is not nearly as good as the nitefinder.

I went to my local toysrus because i was told they were having a sale. By two nerf guns get one free. I went, and I decided to buy a tech target gun and an at2000. I wasnt sure what get for free, so i looked around, and in the back of the shelf i saw a gun called the tripple strike made by nerf, and it looked perty old because on the back of it it had pic's of a screat strike II, and some other silver gun. Is this gun any good? Thanx

Hold on one second. I have been reading all these newb posts, and one thing is pissing me off. A mod posts right after the newb and tells him how useless his post is and to leave. Instantly all the semi-newbs on this site join the bandwagon and think they are cool by telling the newb exactly wat the mod already said, and theirfore creating more useless posts. ITs just gay that if Vac had said that it was a cool pole, and made a positive comment, all the semi-newbs that feel its cool to make useless post hammering some guy would have completely agreed, and all voted in the pole.

What do you think of my first homade?
I tried the two valve system, but it suked so i just use one of the valves now.
I put a checkvalve in the pvc and use a sm1500 pump. It takes about 40 pumps to make it shoot real far. Should i make the air tank smaller so that it has more pressure?

I am using a "real check valve"If you make a pump in that way, you'll need to use two check valves. One check valve prevents air from going back out into the open air and the second keeps it pumped into your pressure chamber. I'm surprised a design like that pumps air at all. I'd suggest buying real check valves
I'd also slap a real barrel on this gun (cut off between the two check valves and add a coupler). You'll need a pretty long barrel to work correctly on a ball valve. That might mean you should make your air chamber bigger. If you intend on keeping the ball valve trigger, I'd try some way to grease it or otherwise make it open faster.
Good for a first homemade I suppose.
Its a fishtank one that fits perfectly inside of 1/2 pvc and makes an airtight seal. I don't need two.
I do have a barrel but i just removed it. It fits inside of the valve because the end of the valve acts as a coupler.

Our break ends jan 3, and school exams are right after break, so my parents won't be letting me go to this war. I did talk to many of the philly guys, and they all were intrested in the war, especially the "Mouth", but we probably wont be able to attend any wars until spring.THanx tho

Put a for sale sign on the back of his car, then write his phone number and a cheap price like 1,000 dollars. Then people will call him asking to buy his car and he will have no clue whats going on.

I think you all should chill. All he did was say how far his nerf gun shoots, and even thought its not a nerf gun, and probably dosnt shoot that far, he is allowed to be excited about his gun, and if you dont agree with him just ignore him instead of flaming the hell out of him.

There goes 99% of the philly guys guns...........Yes, that means brassed 2k's and other super micro shooters are out of the question. Also, I list the Titan under my banned list for wars I run, Horseman rules or otherwise. The regulars are ok cause I know almost everyone is using PVC with Mega's. For the newer guys, general rule of thumb, if it's more powerful then Freds 1500, it's not going onto the field. Thats pretty much how I'll be judging it. Twins, leave that bitch cannon of your's at home and use an actual Nerf gun.

More like you're to scared to face up to them...Philly kids, or are we too scared to put down the brassed weapons?
On a more serious note, its going to be difficult to convince my parents to let me drive 2 hours on a weekend, since its not during my spring break. In the summer its much easier since being down the shore is closer to these parks.
