#45653 Nerf Gun In Toy M16 Case?

Not quite the same, but it turned out not to bad. I was thinking about doing something similar (nerf gun aesthetically based off a more known weapon*), only with a Maverick. Instead of an M4, however, I would have the groundwork be the Nano GL from Red Faction II with a pump-action instead of semi-auto.
One phrase: reflective orange strip. They use the same thing on buses and semis. Or, just paint the whole gun orange if you're too worried about it. Even still, isn't it like a 3/5 scale replica?
*More known than the identifying look of a certain nerf gun, i.e. the five barrels on the BF is less known than the banana mag on the AK series or receiver of the SR series.

#43736 Using A Silencer

From what I have noticed with the blaster directly beneath in the next paragragh, you are for the most part right. However, with a tight fitting silencer, there is the possibility of a slower dart caused by the unreliable friction of the tight bore.
My "silenced" AT3k; by using the directions (slightly moddified for my use) on this site works magnificantly. It is inaudible past 10 feet. As long as I keep all moving parts lubed and the case tight, no squeaks are heard by the enemy while in hiding.
Firearm silencers are different. First off, they don't "silence" anything, unless its a .22 with subsonics. They draw out the pressure behind the bullet, causing a report of around 90 dB or less and what sounds more like a pneumatic nail driver going off. The most "silenced" suppressor is found on HK's MP5SD series, whose internals are pictured lower.
That is an outdated design, found also on early attempts of American/German/Russian designs of silent "spy pistols," which were found with a fixed (non-removable) suppressor, again much like that of the MP5SDs. What I find interesting on the SDs (also found on my AT for obviously different reasons) is what has been done to the barrel: porting just prior to the silencer to drop the bullet's speed to a subsonic level. It eliminates the sonic boom found after the bullet leaves the muzzle, or the need to use 9mm subs, it just depends on how you look at it.

losers? My team doesn't have losers. Only the semi-PC term of "designated marksmen," of which I am one of them as the rest of my team is good for "don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes" combat. Generally I just use a low branch on a tree, or use popular hunting tactics designed for shooting off-hand for rests.

I seem to like double gauged ones more. That way one can check both their input and output pressures easily. Unfortunately they cost more, so I might try looking for a single gauged one at Lowes tonight. Then I don't have to use one of my gaugeless ones.
On a side note, propane and other higher-pressure tanks have built in crude regulators (the turn handle on the top/side/whatever). Unfortunately the tanks are pretty bulky, except those little gas grill tanks and torch tanks. Those two even have built in fill valves without removing the tank
Nice design. For a repeater you could have a valve between the tank and regulator. Burst of high pressure air -> large quantity of low pressure air, right?

You are, however, incredibly correct about how it would be a pain to find the darts. It's just the thought of saboting the 1/4" FBR to fit in a brass modded SM5000 and shooting at least 210 feet level that makes me want to try this, although I'm lacking in the SM5000 department.

Unless you're talking about the spectrum thing, in which case that means that the 4" stuff is the massive end and the 1/4" is the micro end.
Also, the FBR comes in 3/4 inch. I may need to pick some up for one of my homemades.

On the other end of the spectrum, loghelp also makes 1/4 inch FBR. That could be used as a non-nerf to nerf conversion medium.
Any thoughts on the subjects are welcome.

Well depending on the ballistics of your current darts, you could go up to 40-60. If your darts are too light for that range then you'll have to outfit your current stockpile (if you have one) with a new surplus. Otherwise I don't see why you want to change the pressure as 35 psi is easy to hit with most pumps.

You make it seem like such a bad thing, when the founders of this nation could be described as the same. You also must not have met very many people; I know you haven't met me. I think that means that your comment is part lie. Now how does that make you feel? Are you going to turn that statemente into me being racist?You are the most horribly quixotic person I've ever met.

Can do. Gladly, in fact, I was going to anyways.If you're not 18, watch it anyhow...
It turns out there are actually 13 presidential candidates. Unfortunately I didn't know about most of them....a few green party or libertarian representatives in there to shake things up a bit.
The Green Party really has a good look on everything. In this link it shows the four major candidates views and records on a few topics. After reading a few, I noticed that Libertarians are gun nuts, so I think I should join them.
I know what you're talking about. 5.56x45mm has gone up in price over the last four years. If it were up to me, I'd convert the U.S. army to 7.62x39mm seeing as how there are millions of rounds (literaly) just sitting around in the country we are occupying. We actually would be funded by the Iraqis, instead of the Saudis who own 7% of America.After all it is a fact that with the amount of money we spend on ammunition alone each ye(a)r we could feed the world 4 times over.

Let me rearrange that for ya:who cares if you can hit the house if the dart cant reach the house
Even though of course you can't hit the house if the dart doesn't reach it. You do have a good point about throwing the gun, though, I think I may have tried that before...Good ol' RF20, always never worked when I needed you to.the dart cant reach the house (so) who cares if you can hit the house

I dunno, boltsniper was making something similar to what I was talking about, only his used a butane grill lighter and PVC casings. I think that primers and brass/steel casings would be easier/better/safer.
I am very close to completion on the design that you posted, only mine is a single shot, not a clip/mag fed repeater. All I need to do is find a 3/4" to 1/2" reducer, then it's complete. What is very interesting is that it requires casings made out of crayola markers, so every dart is in its own crayola barrel.

I can get unprimed brass and husks, but I'd have to be 18 in order to get anything else, like primers and powder. However, the primers are only there to ignite the aerosol in the casing/husk behind the dart in this design. Depending on the recoil of the firing of the dart, we could have semi- and fully-automatic nerf weapons. And I'm pretty sure everyone would also love to have a funtional flash hider on the muzzle of their nerf gun.

Actually, since this is my brother's generation and probably some of your's, I do recall the recruiters promising the eligable enlistees that they were not going to go to war within the next five years. The recruiters said that in '99; We started this war in 2002. Do the math.They volunteered to go to war, knowing that if they died, it was for a cause.
Where do you get "commies" from? And even still, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln had big chins. So did Bush Sr. If you want to make a good argument (or comment on an argument), be sure it isn't ass-pickings.Down with the big chinned commies!
So who knows Bush's IQ? is it 99? 101? I highly doubt it is any higher than 115. I'm not saying that Kerry's Einstein or anything, it's just that I'd prefer a new president every four years. Otherwise terms would be "until death."Bush has gone on record that he thinks it's a good idea to invade a sovereign country just because it has a lousy leader.
Now, I have a new question: Why are there political parties? They just allow biases in elections. Does anyone else agree with that? I seriously think everyone would be better off if there were no political parties. Or if all the people who were unable to think truly about who they are voting for (and not just saying "That candidate is a Democrat/Republican") didn't know about elections.
Even still, what does a president do that is so important to have one at all? Wouldn't a group of individuals, who share the common beliefs of certain regionally divided people, all coming together and voting on the dicision(s) be good enough? To make it better, there could be two such "gist voting" groups that each would vote seperately on the same topic to get the most decisive conclusion. Then again, though, we all could switch back to the monarchy and have more fun that way.

I have made a few single-shot bolt prototypes, but they leak air. I just can't seem to get the depth right for the o-ring grooves.
And if you don't want a bullpup, but still want a neat looking rifle, go with this.

So you're trying to make a Model 03 Springfield? Or are you trying to make a Model 14? Or are you going in the middle of the two and creating a Model 1/Carbine? The designs differ a bit between the two, but if you really want to (except you live in Australia...right?) you can take a Ruger Mini-30 and use the primer/hairspray combo in the reloaded 7.62x39mm casing to shoot a stretched 3/8" stefan out the barrel. I'd go with that, but good luck with your design. It's not bad.
