I'm very open to suggestions for the format of the contest, I just wanted to get the ball rolling on it. I think we should hammer out the details here and maybe in the IRC and then formally introduce the contest at the next war to take place at the war after that. Unless people feel like we can get everything figured out earlier.

Tantum, I won't say no to another $5. I gave him a good deal on it for the exact reason that I knew something good would come from getting it into the community. I would be down for a mod party if we could figure out a place.
Also, I had an idea that I wanted to run by everyone at the last war but forgot. What would people say to a WA mod contest? I would be willing to offer a prize of some sort to the winner but its mostly to promote continued innovation at these wars. I was picturing setting a deadline of one of these wars and then having people there vote on innovation, war practicality and aesthetics/cleanliness. Can't vote for your own blaster and can only enter one blaster per contest. Would people be interested?

- Getting more barrel spacers for more drop clips!
- Freyer's pump action fat plunger, even if it wasn't fully functional.
- Winning the 4 team deathmatch. Way to go team!
Lowlights:
- Waiting 30 minutes in line at the Subway for crappy sandwiches.
- Scavenger hunts.
- Some butthurting over calling hits.
- Didn't get to use my PAS.
Great seeing all the new and old faces again, and hope for another great turnout for the next one!

One week, gettin' excited!
I've got a PAS that's paint-prepped, and pretty much fully modified that I'd like to get rid of for around 25 or 30 bucks if anyone's interested. I'll go into detail if anyone wants it. I'm in need of a Big Blast trigger as well, so if anyone has an extra, I'll pay a couple dollars for it.

Got the OK from work and called dibs on the car. Put me down as attending. Taer, are you selling the parts or do you just want them gone? If just getting rid of them can I reserve the harpoon shell and the maverick shell? Also I will be looking for a cheap functional hornet if anyone can help me out.

I have a bag of Nerf junk - blown mods, parts and bits, etc. No springs, sorry. I'll bring that along to get it out of my house, if anyone's looking for scrap plastic.
I'm always looking for maverick shells with grips in good shape. Can you help me out?

Nice to see another NW nerfer around. Are you using stefans or stock ammo? I'm in the area but don't think I will be able to make this war due to work conflicts. I'm curious to know if you have hosted a war in Gasworks before. Its a fairly high profile area with a lot of foot traffic which could be problematic. Not trying to shut you down, I would just love to hear some feedback about the space after wards. You should come to the Effeminate summer wars that Dayko are hosting, check out the thread.

Finally this blaster sees some love! Moosa, its a good bit louder than a MS or RF20, all that empty shell space makes for a nice echo-y crack. Rouge, I take it that the clamps around the bottom and top of the bladder aren't broken. I would suggest reinforcing around both as a preventative thing. The last 3 I've had have had heavy leaks because of the crappy plastic cracking and tearing.

Darts and Barrels
Good work as usual, Cheesy. My only concern would be air escaping on a rscb'd air gun using a tight barrel. I think the next step here is to make the valve open inward, which would prevent pressure differences from opening it and would also lead to a more natural load. I actually may do that with your design, just inverted.
Unless I am completely misreading the pictures, it does open in to the RSCB so it seals from the air entering the clip. The Rubber "C" is glued to the coupler, while the flap is not. Gasket flap can move when you force a dart through the hole in the washer.
This is really great and makes RSCB clipped blasters even more dangerous as they can now be reloaded on the fly with basically no fear of being caught during loading.

My attendance is a maybe right now, but I have some questions. First, what are the restrictions in the pistol round, max ranges, springer or air? Also, would a nat geo blaser with a RSCB be legal? I haven't done anything with the pump but I have a feeling that it just doesn't have an OPV.
I really hope to make it, itchin' for some foam flingin'.

We would probably have a full car, so about five people. Though if it really is range that dominates, then we'll need a few months to get some guns of that par. So in that case, don't worry about it.
Range is not king at these wars, but it is dominate. The last war I attended I brought a friend who used a modded recon with drum clip all day and did fine. He wasn't breaking anymore than 40 or so feet. I would personally love to see more emphasis on short to mid range firefights and rushes and think you guys could really trip people up with it.
I'll also bet there will be some long range loaner blasters.
On topic though, I'm, again, a pretty big maybe due to work.

And its still all war legal, since at its base its a magstrike! I love the use of an extra spring to increase the cycling pressure, very smart and much easier, conceptually at least, than a spring replacement in the MS valve. Did you do any testing with stronger springs? Is the tank expansion mainly to achieve one of your stated goals? It just doesn't seem all that necessary with the potential of adding and changing out springs. You may have solved a whole bunch of problems with air powered automatics with this mod.

This break has finally given me a chance to finish up some more mods I've been sitting on.
First:
Draconis homemade trigger, Rev. 2 Slug breech and extended stock for big boy comfort. No internal modifications done yet.
Next:
Extreme overhaul here. Long barrel, PETG breech, custom wood grips, pump replacement and relocation.
And the breech open. Pretty sexy if I do say so myself.

I call it a Mav-con and its my new HvZ blaster.
I always felt the recon's slid would make a better fore grip. Pm me if you have a ground breaking suggestion for what to put in the big gap. Right now I'm thinking an integrated flashlight above the barrel with the gap for battery space.

The rubber gasket has a diameter of 1/2", pretty much identical to the ID of thinwall PETG. I toyed with the idea of replacing the black plastic piece with PETG halfway through the process, but it was able to slip through.
I assure you that the 1/2" gasket cannot fit through the 3/8" opening. The rubber simply doesn't have enough give. I tried to push it through before writing this post, and it wouldn't budge.
I have no super glue at the moment, so I'll have to reassemble the tank tomorrow. Hopefully TB will have ranges by then, and we can see if hacking these tanks open is worth it.
Out of curiosity, what epoxy are you using to put your tank back together Tantum Bull? I superglue my halves together and then smother the seam generously in Goop. It's a real pain in the ass, but the epoxy I have doesn't work, it just won't grip the plastic.
Ah, I see. I just misread the pictures then. For both you and Tantum I would suggest Plastruct Plastic Weld General Purpose Plastic Solvent Cement. I have repair several tanks but cleaning the cut and then applying a generous amount of solvent and holding the two parts together. Wait a few seconds for it to start to cure then apply another layer around the seam/joint. Repeat several times until there are no visible holes. Let the whole thing sit for a few hours and then pressure test. I have yet to have any leaks from joins made this way.

The SSII tank is actually the one I was attempting to repair. Bourbon, I think you might have a problem. In your last picture it looks as if the piston head is inserted into the hole. If that is the case I don't think the tank will be able to fire at all. Once the pressure behind the piston is released to fire the tank the piston head would still be stuck in the front hole.

Very nice work, I really enjoy these somewhat subtle mods that potentially add a lot to overall performance. Do you think this could be applied to other back pressure valves? You may have helped solved a problem I had with a BPV repair by pointing out the circular ridge that makes the seal.
Off topic: Haven't been able to properly test the spacers yet, I need some more PETG to become available.

The mod, I like. Simple but really changes the look, feel and action of the blaster, so good job on that. The paint job is dangerous. There is a big camp of nerfers on the web who are very opposed to black paint jobs. Black paint jobs get the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people, IE police. If you plan on never taking this thing out of your house, then no problem, but some wars now a days are saying no black blaster in play. We don't want any evening news tragedies.
