How long are the barrels?

Having made several guns similar to this, I have some advice:

The back to the plunger tube is unnecessary.

Instead of working for a seal between the plunger tube and breech/barrel, connect them and have a moving plunger tube.

For the breech, I'd just do a simple one and forget about a clip. They are too hard to get working right and their jamming overshadows their speed.

You broke your gun so you're trying to sell it?

Also, you can't test range by shooting at a wall 10 feet away.

Posted by Quilan Fett on 29 December 2007 - 12:34 PM in General Nerf

Search a while to find what other people have used for your guns, or post your guns here and I'll give you some suggestions. The spings usually will be found in the door aisle.

#214644 Switch Shot Question

Posted by Quilan Fett on 24 February 2009 - 10:39 AM in General Nerf

Will the switch shot fit in thinwall 1" PVC?

Also, 19/32 doesn't seal with 17/16. Use 9/16 instead.

If you are still worried, just make where the transition between the half pipe and full pipe a v shape instead of a flat cut.

You could probabally sell it for $20 - $30, but I'd keep it.

I didn't see that one. I did see the part where they labled one of their cars "Humvee" and AM told them they had to remove it.

Um, how is that relevant?

I just found this link while screwing around on google. Now, it isn't about the "Total X-Treme Air" division of Lanard, but I thought some here might find it interesting.

For the rotation, I did CS's mav mod on my DTB and it works very well.

#146965 Suggestions Welcome

Posted by Quilan Fett on 25 March 2008 - 08:10 PM in Modifications

I tried a NFxDTB a long time ago and failed with the seal. I wish now that I hadn;t scrapped it for parts. Oh well. I remember someone on NHQ comleted one but I don't have the link.

Posted by Quilan Fett on 04 March 2008 - 12:10 AM in Homemades

It's cool, but I don't see the point. It is big, has a larger reload time, and it takes work to make. Why not a NF?

The second one is a NB-1.

#212851 Snap Shotgun

Posted by Quilan Fett on 16 February 2009 - 06:35 PM in Homemades

I have always wanted to make something like this and I finally got enough patience up to do it right.

I think this will describe it better than 5 paragraphs and be easier to read:

1.25" PVC Body.
Plunger tube is 1" Thinwall PVC
Brass breech is connected to plunger tube
CPVC barrel is stationary
Plunger moves back to prime
Opening in brass is exposed when the plunger is back
Dart is pushed into CPVC barrel by tighter CPVC behind it when plunger tube moves forward
Clothespin trigger

Key features:
Almost perfect seal (Plunger looses a bit of air but moves faster to compensate)
Unlike previous SNAP variants, trigger is easy to pull (Leverage)
Almost no dead space. Dart loads 0-1" from the plunger head's resting position.
Plunger is lighter than PVC (From bike pump)
Dart is pushed into barrel like angel breech, so loading multiple darts is easy
Removeable stock
Comfy

And the moment you've all been waiting for...

Ranges: Good.

Yeah, I know, kind of a letdown, but everyone measures differently. Plus, after a certain point it doesn't matter anymore. You're not going to have a showdown with someone from 100 feet away. It hits hard at 70' and that's enough for me.

Notes:
I still need to cut a larger hole for dart loading, but my dremel stopped working and I haven't ordered a new one yet.
The two couplers in the front are because I cut the body too short.
Any questions? I know this is brief and lacking in details, since there are so many to list, but I'd be happy to provide any there are interest for.

Posted by Quilan Fett on 16 February 2009 - 07:24 PM in Homemades

I love it. Very nice work on the breech system.
The thing about the leverage with the trigger is that, though it's easier to pull, you have to pull for a longer distance. Which is personal preference. I for one, and I know Vacc is like this as well, prefer a "hair trigger", even if it means a tough pull.

As for showdowns at 100 feet, +pistol.

With the breech though, you could effectively shotgun load, in the same manner that my thundersplat did? Very nice.

Thanks.

The trigger pull isn't that long, but now that you mention it, I do like a longer pull.

And yes, the breech works in the same manner as your thundersplat.

Dang, its like a homemade, breeched, PAS.

Excellent work.

Funny you said that. I always loved my singled RFS but it always broke. This is it's replacement.

My next job is to make it beautiful. Gotta get some Vinyl dye.

You probably lost the catch spring.

#186910 Buzz Bee Double Shot Problems!

Posted by Quilan Fett on 01 November 2008 - 08:10 PM in Modifications

Doubleshots are cool. I would like to see a new version of them. They can get good range, it's just they are made out of very cheap plastic. They break even under stock conditions.

To answer your question, if it is broken, it is probabally not worth fixing. I was in a similar situation, so believe me. The cost of materials and/or work involved in fixing it would be greater than just buying a new one and working a few hours at minimum wage to pay for it.

16/32" brass = 1/2" brass.

This has been brought up before.

I'm pretty sure this is the right forum. You could use some of the parts for a homemade, but I'd make something like imaseoulman's Arachniphobia II.

Don't do it. Ranges suck. Jst wait a year or so until you develop the skill. Don't worry, it'll come.

Just buy an airsoft shell and integrate a SNAP made of thinwall 1" PVC.

#110294 Petg Seal

Posted by Quilan Fett on 09 June 2007 - 07:44 PM in General Nerf

I know this topic is old, but 19/32 brass makes a perfect breech or coupler for 5/8 thinwall PETG.

#117337 Dtg And At3k Problems

Posted by Quilan Fett on 27 July 2007 - 12:34 PM in General Nerf

Yea, I'm thinking of that, but I don't want to go too powerful, because the DTG cocking mechs aren't that strong... The DTG spring should be able to produce 50'.

Captain slug used the same spring on his DTB as his NF. That's how he got the great ranges. The same thing happened to me.
As for the DTB spring, it is very weak. People mut it in their mavs.

I mean for a PETG breech.

#107987 Longshot Parts

Posted by Quilan Fett on 28 May 2007 - 03:55 PM in General Nerf

For the last couple weeks, I have been working on the Angel Breech for my longshot. Had it finished and was happy with it, until I realized that it needed one more minor adjustment. Took it apart, and while I was fixing it, the piece vital to the gun broke for the second time. Having this break, along with many other frustrations along the way has made me throw this project away in disgust.

So now I am considering using some of the parts of the gun (BBB spring, longshot spring, brass, plunger, etc) for other modifications. I'm not going to say this for definite, as I am guessing there are people that might want to buy the spare parts, but I'll think on it until I calm down a bit from this project.

The big question I want to ask is what guns can easily accept the longshot and BBB spring, and would be worth it to go and buy, mod, etc. Ive heard the crossbow is great, but hard to find and expensive. What other guns might be good?

What peice do you need. Captain Slug is selling off all the internals of one of his LongShots.
