#290143 Nerf Dart Tag Furyfire Mods

Now obviously he didn't know to look there first, so he sorta got "lucky", however, as a community that prides itself on intellect and maturity, we should really make sure the suggestions we're making are useful, and not just some newb bashing under the guise of helping.

#280422 Need Help Designing Nerf Guns
Posted by nostyleguy on 16 July 2010 - 03:13 PM in General Nerf
To be fair, a lot of universities have the ability to distribute licenses of commercial-grade software for either free, or very very cheap. I have legitimate copies of Inventor 2010, Autocad2010, Visual Studio 2008, and could have many other software licenses if I wanted. All thanks to being an Engineering major.I use autodesk inventor 2010. its a great tool, as it allows you to design your parts in 3D, so you can see them in all their glory. Its also REALLY easy to learn and use. I taught myself in the lesser half of the week.
What you don't state is that Inventor is insanely expensive. $5300? Not for nerf stuff. And I can pretty much guarantee that you didn't buy it, so why don't you stop admitting to and encouraging illegal activity on a site dedicated to toys, populated by kids?

Can you elaborate a little more on the catch mechanism? Idk if its just the pictures, but the contact rod seems long and angled, but the plunger's catch hole is a circle. I'm likely just misunderstanding.
Great work though, These always make me jealous
#278330 Splitfire/2k Turret Modification!
Posted by nostyleguy on 22 June 2010 - 10:57 PM in Modifications
I know its pointless to argue about matters of opinion, but was this 'thread-crapping' comment really needed?It seems like this was done a lot better without the rear loading a long time ago.
Split-tech 2k a la Falcon, circa 2006. But you know, thats just like, my opinion, man.
Just to defend the op's mod (which is amazing). I can easily see a bunch of areas where the splitlantern is 'a lot better' than the splittech
1) rear-loading
2) no exposed brass
3) no ugly hot-glue spacers or globs
4) not ridiculously ungainly
5) reloads in one motion vs two
as for the splittech, the only advantage i can see is:
1) 4 salvos instead of 2

Posted by nostyleguy on 03 June 2010 - 10:59 PM in Homemades
What a ridiculously unnecessary post. There is such a thing as constructive criticism, and then there is just being a giant douche. Seriously. Just because its not a UBER MEGA HAMP doesn't mean its useless.I don't get the point of this or any the rest of your homemades. I doubt the accuracy of this thing is all that great, the ranges suck, and it looks like shit. I can't see how this would be very useful in a war.
Most guns can't fire nearly that fast. Its basically semi-auto since the priming and firing mechanisms are built into the same motion.
I'm sure the range could easily be improved simply by scaling up the strength/number of flexing arms.
Most of all, it looks reliable. A lot of breeches shave/jam darts, but this went 6 for 6 in the firing video. That alone makes it very appealing to me. I'd be drooling over a chance to use this

#276388 Angel Breeched Longshot Help
Posted by nostyleguy on 30 May 2010 - 12:15 AM in Modifications
I also tried a hose clamp, but (a) it still slid out of place and ( it got in the way of the clip feeding.
Finally, I tried soldering a steel cube (about the size of the stock bolt nub) to the brass, and this actually held, but broke after 5 shots.
The only other idea I have is to get some 5/8" brass (1 increment larger) and maybe cut a 'tab' out of it that could be bent up, and then used as a contact point for more steel soldering, but I don't want to buy a whole foot of brass (in a size I have no other use for) for a small reinforcement if it won't work.
So what works for you guys? How do you prime your angel breeched longshots?
#276000 N-strike Barrel Break Ix-2
Posted by nostyleguy on 25 May 2010 - 09:59 PM in News
Anyway, Is the gray priming 'grip' on the back necessarily indicative of a reverse plunger? Unfortunately, I think it is because there wouldn't be enough internal room to have a normal plunger pulled back without it sticking out.
At least the ammo holder looks cool
#273666 3k Tubing
Posted by nostyleguy on 29 April 2010 - 08:10 AM in Modifications
1. Super glue the new tubing onto/into its new destination.
2. Apply an excessive amount of goop all around the connection.
3. Fill the system with pressure via the pump until the (still mostly un-set) goop blows a bubble and starts to leak
4. Re-apply Goop, spending extra care to cover the weak spot thoroughly.
5. Let it set for at least 24 hours.
Hasn't failed me yet.
#273665 Big Bad Bow Problem
Posted by nostyleguy on 29 April 2010 - 08:05 AM in Modifications
I did a similar mod with epoxy putty to hold the barrel in, and after a few shots, a crack appeared between the putty and the barrel. It was tiny, like a hair-line fracture, but it killed range. Goop it up and you should be good to go.
#273347 Magstrike Air Compressor Mod
Posted by nostyleguy on 25 April 2010 - 10:18 PM in Modifications
It's purpose is not to actually fire anything, only to fill another firing mechanism with air. In the case of a MS, it is the MS piston which fills with air. The incoming air presses against the spring-loaded piston, building pressure. Once the piston is pushed back far enough, a valve is opened and all the stored air is shot out very fast, launching the dart.
Therefore, the MS Piston is analogous to an AT2k tank, or even a Titan tank in purpose, though they operate very differently.
Finally, if you want to use both a MS bladder and an AT2k/Titan tank, the MS bladder would serve as a reservoir for the AT2k/Titan tank. You could hook the MS bladder up to inlet of the firing tank (instead of where the pump usually goes in) and have the MS trigger valve between them. With this system, you would pump up the bladder to capacity, open the MS trigger valve (filling the firing tank), close MS trigger valve, open firing tank (firing the dart), and then re-open the MS trigger valve, close, fire, etc until the MS bladder was empty.
This is the basis for several Semi Auto AT2k mods on this site, and even the inspiration for some Semi-Auto titans, though I think in practice, the Titan tank is only able to get about 2 shots off with 40-50 pumps of the MS bladder. Not very useful.
#273033 New Info On Nerf Big Blast
Posted by nostyleguy on 22 April 2010 - 08:18 PM in General Nerf
From the bits and pieces coming in, this sounds like a new automatic system from Nerf. If its got '50' in the name, that probably means its belt fed, but the fact that 18 round clips have been seen is interesting. Maybe it will be able to support both belts and clips?
Either way, I hope its not just a re-shelled vulcan.
#272912 Singled Doubleshot Mod
Posted by nostyleguy on 21 April 2010 - 03:57 PM in Modifications
Bah yeah. I was thinking 1/2" Cpvc in 1/2" PVC. I've used a 5/8" drill bit to bore out PVC a few times so I kinda assumed that he was using it, and I was surprised to see no boring necessary. /Fail
Black CPVC? I dont think my 1/2" cpvc fits in 3/4" cpvc. Pretty nifty you didn't have to sand the barrel, or bore out the outside of the breech.
1/2" CPVC easily fits inside 3/4 CPVC with little bit of wiggle room.
#272861 Singled Doubleshot Mod
Posted by nostyleguy on 21 April 2010 - 12:14 AM in Modifications
I think some more pictures towards the middle would have helped, but I understand what you were saying about not being able to hold it open and work a camera.
I really like the breech tab, looks so natural.
Black CPVC? I dont think my 1/2" cpvc fits in 3/4" cpvc. Pretty nifty you didn't have to sand the barrel, or bore out the outside of the breech.
I'm gonna guess that an 18" barrel is too long for this application. Springers with much higher airoutput (LS, BB, +Bow) don't even take that much. My suggestion would be to cut it off an inch or 2 at a time and see if it keeps helping. Once it stops helping, stop cutting. Of course you want to do a lot of trials at each length, and do an average. Hopefully that's not too much math for ya (Just playing around, no offense meant).
Overall looks like a pretty solid gun, and a nice write up.
#272328 War In Mi
Posted by nostyleguy on 15 April 2010 - 04:52 PM in Nerf Wars
Chill dude, All I'm trying to say is that these threads along the lines of "Im gonna have a nerfwhere, sometime, somewhere, with some ppl" aren't very useful. If you're going to have more details later, then just wait till 'later' to post the thread. You're alot more likely to get community support and interest that way.i just want to get something straight ....your a dumb ass if you could actually read you would know that i would be posting details later so you better think long and hard about what you said you dumb fuck
and yes this is to you nostyleguy
#272272 War In Mi
Posted by nostyleguy on 15 April 2010 - 12:27 AM in Nerf Wars
I'm not trying to discourage you, but any real war has to have organization and structure. Find a place, set a time, make some rules.
This 'unsure' posting is sure to get no real commitments and a ton of flak from the community.
All that being said, I'd love to attend a well planned Nerf War in my home state.
#272157 Nitefinder Replacement O-ring
Posted by nostyleguy on 13 April 2010 - 10:39 PM in Modifications
Danco #57 is 1" OD, 13/16" ID. The #14 is 15/16"OD, 3/4 (12/16)" ID. The #57 might be better, but the #14 works just fine and is a little snugger.
Sorry for the mis-information.
#272102 Nitefinder Replacement O-ring
Posted by nostyleguy on 13 April 2010 - 03:57 PM in Modifications
Just take the O-ring to the store with you. Lowes has a size chart laminated on the wall that you can literally press the o-ring up against to compare sizes. I think you're looking for a #12 or #13 O-ring though.Thanks but I know that. I'm looking for the o-ring size for a upcomeing plunger head project.Wrap a bit of electrical tape around the plunger head in the slot that holds the O-ring in place. It should expand the O.D. of the O-ring, instant better seal. Just as good as a replacement.

Posted by nostyleguy on 05 April 2010 - 11:45 AM in Nerf Wars
As for ideas for organizing it, just be concrete. I've never been to a real 'war' yet, but I've read enough threads where events fall through because there are no definite conditions.
You have a group of attendees already, and that seems to be the hard part.
Hopefully the weather holds up, I'll be looking forward to this

#270921 Nerf Mg Write-up *updated*
Posted by nostyleguy on 31 March 2010 - 10:01 PM in Homemades
The problem usually seems to be the need to re-barrel a magstrike which is a pain, or the system eats too much air to be worthwhile.
With your setup, the barreling problem is solved by having 1 stationary barrel, and the air capacity problem is solved (presumably) because you can have a huge external air source since the system will be mounted on a tripod and (presumably) non-mobile.
Speaking of which, what are your plans for an air source? I'd like to see a ridiculously over the top air tank made of like 5" PVC honestly.
I don't want to be too optimistic but with a large enough tank expansion, and a large enough reservoir, you could be laying down a constant stream of foam 100' away.
#269420 Tetra Strike Help
Posted by nostyleguy on 17 March 2010 - 12:25 AM in Modifications
Not to derail the thread, but since there isn't exactly an abundance of TetraStrike threads available, I wanted to ask a question. Have you plugged the pump? If so, and you're pluming to pretty high pressures, can you get the gun to behave normally?
My problem is that the increased force needed to pull the firing pins is so much that it warps the trigger plate enough that the tanks either (A) open slowly resulting in a crappy range, or ( the second and third barrels fire at the same time, regardless of how slowly I pull the trigger.
I tried reinforcing the trigger plate, and did a pretty good job I think. I filled in almost every possible surface (that wasn't used in sliding) with epoxy putty, and added some coat-hangar-wire across the gap between the fourth tank and the trigger (this is where most of the warping takes place).
Anyways, it still isn't enough. The tanks can take extremely high pressures, but the trigger just can't pull them reliably. Short of machining a metal trigger plate, or designing a new trigger system, I'm not sure what to do.

#269093 Semi Auto At2k
Posted by nostyleguy on 14 March 2010 - 03:02 AM in Modifications
I love the idea of combining a bladder system with a hard tank gun like that at2k, but the triple part priming process seems to defeat the 'semi-auto' nature of it.
Have you thought of putting the magstrike bladder release behind the at2k trigger? With some tinkering, It seems like you could use the majority of the trigger stroke to depress the magstrike valve (untill the at2k tank is full) and then use the last bit of the trigger stroke to open the at2k tank and fire.
Put that system into an auto-advancing turret (3k?) and you'd have true semi auto (except for the whole regulator issue).
Still, what you have is very nice, and I'm not in much of a place to give criticism since I have never modded any of the ATxK guns. Wish i could find some though.

#267750 The 65-b 6 Barrel Buzz Bee Big Blast
Posted by nostyleguy on 03 March 2010 - 12:37 AM in Modifications
Is the tek 6 turret piece actually stabilized in the 'end cap' of the BBBB? if not, would it be practical to move the entire turret assembly back to the very beginning of the BBBB tank and thus minimize the overall length of the gun by about 6 inches?
I don't own a BBBB so i'm not sure how narrow the actual internals are, but there seems to be a lot of unnecessary length of 'barrel' before the end of the blaster (in all BBBB's)

#262904 The First Look At The Tetrastrike

Also, no vinyl tubing; its all plastic walls like a SSPB, which is sad. Not like it'd be hard to add, but certainly another step before the tanks can be used in an integration.
