Buffdaddy, that is actually pretty close to what I was thinking for Rev. 2. Maybe a bit more engineered, but pretty close.
Silverhead, it actually isnt that hard to turn, I lubed up the foam before I slid the CPVC in.
There is a decent amount of dead space with this method, but that could easily be reduced by using 3 reducers with CPVC stubs in them, cut to match the selector. I should have taken a better picture with the hotglue in it. Before it could cool, I used my finger to turn it into a ramp, so that air doesnt hit a wall at the end of the CPVC, but rather a ramp to help direct it in the right direction.

Buffdaddy, I have 2 more ideas floating around in my head that will be added when they are done, no spoilers.
ChaosRaisin, I only had one on hand, but one of the barrels I plan to attatch is 3/4 CPVC. The triple coupler came off of my 4B, so I figured I might as well stick it on the other end. So in the end, I could use one more, but I can do without. Three would be best for a better seal though.

Very cool. How's the seal?
There is a slight leak in this one. With thicker craft foam it should not be a problem though, the stuff I use is from a dollar store, so its not of the highest quality. This is going on a Pango though, so I am not to worried about the leak on this one.

Also, do you have to point it down before every shot? That's the usual downfall of an RSCB system like that.
The beautiful thing about RSCB's on HAMPs, is that they will vaccume load most of the time.
How easy is that to hold? Does the ball valve get in the way at all?
Did you make the plunger rod from scrap? Or did you modify a solid rod?
I like what you have done here, I think I might need to build myself another HAMP.

That's called dry firing, and is a great way to break your plunger tube. You need to not do that, and to protect against others doing it you need to add padding to the plunger rod, making sure to cut a hole so air still gets through, try craft foam, layer it up if need be.
You did nothing wrong, the AR's are there to prevent this, along with keeping the ranges safe.

A few weeks ago, Buffdaddy stumbled upon a ball valve that lets you change barrels on the fly, Buffdaddys write-up. Now, that particular ball valve is quite pricey at $15 apiece.
After seeing this I knew what I needed to do, make one.
You will need these materials:
- A section of CPVC
- 1, 3/4 CPVC tee
- 1, 1/2 CPVC coupler
- 1, 3/4-1/2 CPVC reducer
- Some craft foam
- Super Glue
- Dremel
First off, you are going to need to make a hole in your tee. I used a "zip" bit on my dremel to rough out the hole, then used a 5/8 drum to finish it.
Slide your reducer into the tee.
Then slide your CPVC through the hole you made, and into the inside of the reducer. Drill, or mark a hole in the middle.
Then widen the hole for better air-flow, I used the zip bit and 5/8 drum method again. This will serve as your air diverter.
Slide the CPVC back into the tee and check your fit.
It should look like this:
Then you are going to want to trim down the CPVC so there is only enough sticking out of the hole for the elbow to fit. Stick on your elbow, then mark the CPVC inside of the tee so you know where the craft foam will fit.
Pull the CPVC back out and slather some Super Glue in the space between your marks. Then wrap your craft foam around the CPVC, wait a bit for it to dry, then trim it as needed.
Stick the CPVC back into the tee, making sure the end goes into the reducer.
I put some lube on mine to make it a bit smoother, it isnt needed though.
Fill in the part of the CPVC that sticks out of the tee with some hot glue to seal it, then glue on your elbow. I put a screw in the elbow, through the CPVC just to make sure I dont twist the elbow off.
And you are done.
There are easier ways of doing this, I can think of at least 1 right now, but I thought of this first and had to follow through.

No, that is not the place we are talking about.
The complete opposite end of that piece is the right spot though, so you are getting closer.
What you are having us check is increasing the seal between the turret and plunger, which wouldn't hurt either.

I only advantage that I see with a homemade wye is that you can customize the angle. If you have a mellower angle you can use longer darts with the system and darts should load smoother. Try a 40 or 35 degree angle next time. Nice job.l
Thank you, another very important factor for making wye's, is the fact that Flexpvc's shipping to Canada is crazy.

I wouldn't be worried it probably just had a rough shipment, if the gun works i think it should be fine.
Must have been quite the bumpy ride, enough to unwrap a dart and load it into the gun even.
You should just take it back. It might work fine now, but why did the last person return it?
Unless you like paying full price for something that is used.

Having successfully built my first wye for my MEGAHAMP, I decided to try building one for my 4B. Seeing as how it was going to be of a more suitable size for the community, I decided to document my fun with PVC for you.
Materials:
½ Inch PVC
Super glue
Hot glue
Dremel
Angle or mitre box
Knife of some sort
½ Drill bit
Sand paper
First you want to bust out your angle or mitre box and mark and cut a piece of PVC at 45 degrees.
Take your sand paper and wrap it around some ½ inch PVC. Sand your 45 degree cut on this until you get a nice snugish fit. You could also use the sanding drum on your Dremel if that’s how you roll.
Now grab some more ½ inch PVC and your ½ drill bit. Use whatever method of drilling you prefer, I just use a spade bit with a ratcheting screwdriver. Drill 2 close to overlapping holes or one if you have some time.
Now use your knife/Dremel and connect the holes.
The next part is pretty much trial and error. Widen the hole so that no PVC shows when you hold your 45 piece up to it and look in the PVC.
Time to trim your 2 piece’s down to size. You don’t want them to be too short, nor do you want them to be too long. Try to get them just long enough so that there is enough to hold the pipe going into the piece.
Now you need to make sure the ends of your wye can accept ½ CPVC.
This will be easiest with a dremel with a small sanding drum. Take your time and make sure to check your fit often.
All 3 ends should more or less look like this.
Time to glue the 2 pieces together making sure it is lined up at the same time of course. I like to use a drop or 2 of super glue to hold it together before I smother it in hot glue.
Now all you have to do is follow this very timely posted thread and then strap it to something big and powerful.
This design can easily be used to make wyes of all sizes, not just for ½ CPVC.
For my MEGAHAMP I used ¾ PVC, as it needed to accept ¾ CPVC and ½ PVC.

Home made PVC wyes are not at all new to Nerfhaven, but I would say your method seems quite a bit cleaner than Carrtoon's method from 4 years ago. I still would highly recommend solvent welding instead of hot-melt glue OR electrical tape.
Thank you Bob, I was not aware of that. As for the glue, I agree completly with you, I'm just very impatient. This one actually is held together mainly by Loctite Gel super glue, with the hot glue for an extra bit of strength. I make sure there is no super glue showing before I do this as well.

I say use a plastic welder or even a soldering iron and melt the two ends together. Thats the only thing that I've found you can do when glues wont work.
When people use the term plastic or solvent weld, it doesn't mean using a deice to literally melt/weld the plastic pieces together through heat....
Solvent welding uses a solvent (chemical) to dissolve the surface of the plastic and re-harden the two pieces into one piece.
And when he says plastic welder, or soldering iron, he means literally melting/welding the plastic pieces together through heat.
Did you see the word "solvent" anywhere in his post?
Heating the ends with something is most likely going to be your only option. The tricky part will be making sure you dont push to much together, making the priming rod curve.
I do not have one here in front of me, but you should be able to use a small ringed finishing nail to strengthen the joint, like you did with the catch.

You are a couple of months late, seeing as the season ended this week.
I was hoping to see a Vulcan used in some way, but considering it was shot in Australia the price probably kept them from doing that.
I do thank you for that link though, that is a very interesting site in general, and should help with a current project of mine.
I didn't realize the Recon was actually 2 hacked and glued together, there are also a couple of other things that make me think it would be pretty hard to still shoot darts, which kinda sucks.
The NF however looks like it only needs a few minor tweaks to make it still be able to fire darts.

Although, a half green, half purple one would look cool locked together.

If you build that, it has a 50/50 chance of breaking every time you let go of the trigger. There's nothing to stop the trigger from catching behind the plunger and totally fucking everything up.
There's a bunch of other problems too, probably, but none that would totally prevent this from working as much as your trigger design.
The trigger problem would be easily solved just by cutting the back of the trigger into a slant. That way if it does go "behind" the plunger, it will simply slide over and catch the right way.

Dude thats mean, thats not something that you sigg. you don't have to be dirty people to get roaches fleas, or bed bugs, he could live in an appartment buiding or something. When I was growing up we lived in the hood, and even though my mother was a clean fanatic we still had problems with roaches because of the neighbors weren't as good a house keepers. If a building has them then anybody in the building can get them. Also roaches can get into the smallest places.
