#77626 Eagle Eye Mod
Posted by Starbuck on 25 March 2006 - 11:59 PM in Modifications
Not totally impossible. I replaced the barrel on my girlfriend's and with a stefan, it gets in the lower 90s. As far as doing that with a stock dart as this man pictured... I have great doubt.How do you expect anyone to believe you? There is no possible way you are getting 100' from an Eagle Eye. Post a video of it shooting that far then I and others will beleive you.I was happy with the results it looks to go about 100+ feet.

She's not so much a Nerfer as a modder. She really enjoys the modding side of Nerf, as do I. She also goes around to garage sales and picks up Nerf guns for me. So, she's really helped build the arsenal up....my girlfriend's.
Wait...your girlfriend Nerfs? Damn, you are a lucky bastard, now aren't you?
So, you have a massive arsenal, and a significant other who adds to it?
And, yes... I'm a lucky bastard.

#77239 At2k Barreled Nite Finder
Posted by Starbuck on 22 March 2006 - 06:24 PM in Modifications
Usually friend, copper isn't used as barrel material. I've seen some copper and used it once myself, however brass is the better suited metallic material. Just to be honest with you, I'd use 1/2" CPVC. It's cheap and plentiful. Best of luck to you.Starbuck, I'm still working on barrel material. How much more expensive is copper than PVC? And, how well fit does the PVC have to be to the dart? I took a couple stefans to Menard's and Home Depot and the 1/2" PVC they had was either too big or too small; I didn't see any 3/4" thickwall.
(Nice triple torch!)

I did this a long time ago and never posted pics. Try adding 1/2" CPVC barrels to the turret. Drop the markers. Those are for art class.

#74970 Who Are You?
Posted by Starbuck on 02 March 2006 - 07:26 PM in General Nerf
One who spends most of his Nerf time on modifications and Nerfs in one season of the year.
Yeah, that's me. I spend most of my Nerf time modding guns or coming up with different ideas and such. The only time we Nerf around here is in the spring. During summer, everyone is gone on vacation. In the fall, we have football. Winter is too cold for most of the fellers around here. Spring, then is left as open Nerf season. Usually there are one to three large scale deals and five or six smaller sha-bangs. I used to be a "Nerfer" because I modded, I Nerfed regularly, and I was an admin at Nerf Online, but that was all before things went askew.
#74484 Your Choice Of Weapons
Posted by Starbuck on 26 February 2006 - 11:56 PM in General Nerf
I'd carry my T-26 SM1k Carbine with 15 clips (three micro stefans per clip). I'd also take as a sidearm my Bulldog NF or DT3 pistol with 15 mega stefans.
If I wanted to do some real damage, I'd take my Titan anti-personnel rifle with 5 clips (6 rounds per clip) and attach the Bulldog to the Titan for easy access.
Yeah... my Mountain rifle could shoot a Gundam down...

When you're not using your gun, I recommend that you take off the rubber bands.

#73100 Presenting The Snap-2
Posted by Starbuck on 13 February 2006 - 10:19 PM in Homemades
If you'd like an upgrade on the magazine, PM me. I can help you build one with a spring so you don't have to mount it atop and it's removeable. This cuts down on the mag being in your line of sight and is much easier to negotiate.
#73064 Hasbro Press Release 2-9-06
Posted by Starbuck on 13 February 2006 - 04:51 PM in General Nerf
Pump up the action with the NERF DART TAG MAGSTRIKE blaster, the first NERF rapid fire blaster with a clip reloading system!
The NERF N-STRIKE LONGSHOT CS-6... And, with an awesome reloading clip system, refilling your blaster has never been faster.
Hmm... the more I read this and the more that I think about it (I know speculation isn't good)...
It sounds like the magazine system uses stripper clips sorta' like my SuperMaxx 1000 (seen here). They call them reloading clips implying they're used for reload only and not as a functioning part of the gun.
The Powerclip used a clip that was a fuctioning part of the gun, but was not first to use a clip. The Sawtooth used the clip system and its clips were functioning pieces of the gun. It says the Magstrike is the first with "clip reloading system" which sounds like stripper clips.
#73053 Old Larami Gun
Posted by Starbuck on 13 February 2006 - 03:08 PM in General Nerf
I would only do my mod if your cylinder was broken or parts were missing.
Anyway... yeah, you can order the darts from Hasbro or make your own Laramis. But, if you actually plan on using the SM1k in a war, I'd suggest modding the gun to fire micros. That is, if you don't care to mod one of the more rare guns.

There's a setup I've used in the past. Those are M-14 mag pouches. Fit PC clips like a dream.

Posted by Starbuck on 11 February 2006 - 02:17 AM in General Nerf
I use a DT3. Gah, that's a good gun if you know how to mod it.It's not the size that matters... it's how you use it...
Sorry I couldn't resist.
What made me wonder is the description of the Longshot; that it separates into two independant guns. Kinda reminds me of the old Defender T3 of the Cyber Strike series, but that's going waaaay back.
Be pretty nifty to have an upgrade.
#72796 Hasbro Press Release 2-9-06
Posted by Starbuck on 10 February 2006 - 06:05 PM in General Nerf
The CS sounds like it could replace the Crossbow if it's moddable. Clip fed, working scope, bi pod?! Wow... I'm impressed with Nerf's progress. It could turn out to be junk, but hey... I couldn't have imagined them marketing anything like this.
#72695 First Attempt At A Homebrew Gun
Posted by Starbuck on 08 February 2006 - 10:54 PM in Homemades
Haha, good concept, but hold that thought...I've been looking at what you guys have been doing with springs and clothespins, and I decided that I'm going to make one (To start with) of these kinda things. Just gotta wait to go to the hardware store tomorrow. Just had to satisfy my creativity with modeling an idea in 3-d.
I figure since you guys have been posting 3-d models of stuff you plan on making, I'd post my concept also.
I'm thinking 1 1/4" SCH 40 Pvc Pipe for the main compression chamber, and 1/2" CPVC Pipe for the barrel/charging rod. (Yes, They are compatable if you do some modding) Then use your clothespin trigger system with a iron trigger, then use a spring clip made with acrylic and wood. (Already got this from a failed experiment). I figure if it's not too big, I can use it as a sidearm, or if it turns out too big, put a stock on it and use it as a primary. That is, IF it gets decent range when I'm finished.
I've got one nearly identical to that in the works. About another week or so and it'll be released commercially.

#72324 Artemis Arms Luger Model #2
Posted by Starbuck on 04 February 2006 - 10:58 PM in Modifications
I got the back sights off of an old air rifle. The front is a custom build.
Poo, I'm currently building another... it might be up on the block.

#72278 Artemis Arms Luger Model #2
Posted by Starbuck on 04 February 2006 - 04:59 PM in Modifications
I just recently completed an installation of updated componets to the Luger. Here's the new Artemis Arms P-08 Luger, Model #2, Officer's Improved.
This is the original Luger. It was a muzzle loading pistol with great accuracy.
Now, here's the Officer's Improved model. I took a 2.5" piece of 1/2" PVC and bored it out with a 5/8 drill bit on a drill press. I found that this fits 1/2" CPVC great. I then took a 7.5" piece of 1/2" CPVC and cut a 2" breech in it and glued it to the Luger. I then cut a breech hole on the 1/2" PVC the same size as on the 1/2" CPVC and slip the PVC over it. I then added my sights and taped it all up.
To load the Luger, simply twist the 1/2" PVC around so that the breech is open. Drop in a round and twist again to close it. This speeds up reloading quite a bit.
Feel free to ask questions. Hope you've enjoyed another Artemis Arms creation.
#72157 Sawtooth Mod: Big Clip
Posted by Starbuck on 02 February 2006 - 07:03 PM in Modifications
I've done this with two clips before, I felt three was somewhat cumbersome. Might I suggest a Monoblast(shot?) spring for the Sawtooth. That's what I did with mine and it gets much better ranges and adds some surprising zip. Again, well done.
#72026 Supermaxx 5000 "roadblocker"
Posted by Starbuck on 31 January 2006 - 08:29 PM in Modifications
I should have explained what I meant. I call 5/8" megas .50 cals or "half-inch" because I use .5" PVC on the barrels. My apologies.Megas are 5/8". The pipe's actual inside diameter is in the .6-.7 range. When I get home I'll check my picket ref..5" round.
EDIT: check out this link for info about pipe diameter and thickness, and an explanation for why it's so far off from the nominal pipe size:

PM me when you start making a magazine for it. I might have some stuff to help you there.
And once again, excellent work.

LastMan, you can find Carcanos at a reasonable price at gun shows. They run around here in Tennessee from $50-$150. The ammo is somewhat scare in these parts, but the internet offers lots of ammo sellers.
I'm looking to buy a P-38 Walther here soon. I've found one for $340, so that might be my next pistol.
#71882 Mmm... Firepower...
Posted by Starbuck on 29 January 2006 - 06:04 PM in Off Topic
This is my FN-FAL in LMG setup. It has an adapter that the Canadians made to convert it into a belt fed machine gun. It still can use magazines, too. It's in .308 NATO and was manufactured in Canada and yes... she's full auto. *grins and holds up Class III license*
Here's my Simonov Carbine (SKS). It was made in Russia in 1966. It was modified by the East Germans to accept AK-47 mags. It's semi auto, but is still fun to shoot. It's chambered for 7.62x39.
I still have more, but they're way back in the gun safe. Hope you enjoyed it.
