#27699 Making A Super Soaker Shoot Darts?
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 04 June 2004 - 08:08 AM in Modifications
Actually, the output is different, I meant valve open speed. SMs use a pull valve, so do Super Soakers. That's where I got the ** reason on my last post.
#27695 Combining Nf With Secret Strike
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 04 June 2004 - 06:15 AM in Modifications
As for the small bit of tubing, you could either: mod your RF20 like mine (if you have one), then you'll get about a foot of tubing. PM me for the mod. Or, since I did that mod, I have about four inches left of clear (used the rest for my AT3K) and 6.75 inches of orange (it used to connect the pump to the Liquitron Guage on an AT3K). The orange tubing has a slightly (1/32") smaller ID, so pick which one would work best. I could put it in an envelope and mail it to you at no cost. If you reply to my post, I won't be able to get back to you until Sunday, maybe Monday, so sorry about that.
One last way to get the tubing is to go to a hardware store and search the place. That sometimes takes a bit of time and it's not free.

Once you get pics I'll have something better to say. I'm too tired now; It's 10:02 here in Michigan. I'll close with this question: Why? They are both pistols.
#27671 Making A Super Soaker Shoot Darts?
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 03 June 2004 - 08:59 PM in Modifications
Another way, which does invlolve opening the case, is just to bypass the tank itself, connecting two feet of tubing from the pump directly to the valve. The barrel would then have to be (guessing) about 20 inches or less. To figure this correctly, find the volume of the tubing used*and figure that same volume of PVC**. But then the Super Soaker would resemble an oversized SM(any model).
*To find the volume, use pi X r X l, where pi=pi(3.141592653589793223845etc.), r=radius, and l=length of the cylinder(tubing or barrel).
**In case you are wondering why I didn't say more was because you have to remember, the air output rate is the same as a SM. You wouldn't use two feet of barrel on your SM1500 just because you increased the size of the airtank by a foot, would you?
#27650 Co2 Auto
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 03 June 2004 - 05:21 PM in Homemades
If you wanted to completely bypass the spring and bolt design, you could simply attach the tank to a lever that, when the trigger is pulled, will turn the force oin the oposite direction. Here's a quick diagram:
___________
l l\__
l tank l __l
l___________l/
\\\\
_\\\\_ ----lever
l_ ___l
/ /------trigger
\_\
Good enough. Then, if you use the 3DBBQ barrel adaptation (without tipping the gun forward), and some creative breech work, you could have a fully automatic nerf gun.
If you really want to use CO2, then you have to buy the appropriate type of steel tubing. Get the stuff with the high PSI rating, and I mean really high.
<EDIT> Should've previewed that post. Then I would've know that my illustration was messed up. The design of it I can't explain to well.<EDIT>
#27627 Co2 Auto
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 03 June 2004 - 11:13 AM in Homemades
Thompson's design for a sub-machine gun worked just like that. I personally would use a gas design, not a blow-back system. Gas systems are a bit more complicated, and also require more gas in order to cycle the bolt back and load a dart.
I personally think the design sucks. PVC is not strong enough to hold any kind oif high pressure substance, suck as marketed CO2. Also, this is more my fault, but if the tank had a release valve like that, which looks similar to the one on the end of a RF20 or PC bladder, then the tank would be rather large, which would mean it needs a rather large spring. Also, I'm not sure then if the tank would blow back.
How would the trigger work? Would it be like a pin that goes in front of the tank and stops it from going forward?
#27569 Making A Super Soaker Shoot Darts?
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 02 June 2004 - 07:16 PM in Modifications
I used a Max D of some sort and at 30 pumps can easily get 100 ft out of the thing. At 40 pumps about 150 and at close range the thing will give a small welt and hurt for about a minute.
Weird. My Super Soaker XP55 at 30 pumps goes 40 ft. and at 40 pumps gets 45 ft. At 80 pumps it finally achives over 100 ft., but at 40 ft. when pumped to that extreme it will quite literally fracture a rib (on a deer*). At close range for 50 pumps it will do the same. Close range for 80 and the dart blows up on impact with a solid object. Lead fragments have actually ricocheted off a concrete wall and hit me at 15 feet. I think my darts are too heavy, but if I go any lighter than they spin out when pumped over 15 times, and then the dart will only go about 30 ft. The darts that were used weighed a 1/2 ounce when completed.
*This was at my friend's neighbors house. He thought that, after hearing The Evil (I named my Super Soaker), that it could go through the skin a few hour old deer carcass. After the firing we heard a crack on impact, so the neighbor decided to cut it open to find out the damage. He was surprised when he saw that a rib was broken.
#27567 Nerf Vs. Paintball
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 02 June 2004 - 06:57 PM in Articles
Also, you won't get in trouble shooting "foam darts." I mean, how ominous does that sound?
Actually, you can get in trouble for "War". The consequences are similar to "Assault". The only reason I know this is because I was at a friend's house and someone called the cops on us for shooting at each other. All that the police said was that we shouldn't be doing that with things that can inflict welts or long-term wounds. He also said that it was considered "War" and that we should not shoot at each other. He let us off with a warning because of my friend's dad's defense, that and the neighbors described the guns as pellet rifles. That may have been because of what happened earlier, but that is not relevent. We were shooting at a target with a .22 pellet rifle. This also was in a strictly ruled township so that may have played a part, so now we Nerf near my house, which is out of that township by 450 feet. My neighbors could care less, as long as we don't hurt their kids.
#27555 Yeeeeah Bitch!
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 02 June 2004 - 05:19 PM in News
This all is a bit confusing. I should ask my brother about this. He'll give me the gist of it. After all, he does this for work. It seems quite neat. I may have to get into this, just to impress friends and stuff. This probably doesn't mean anything from a firearms recognizer*, but that work is pretty damn good!
*I can identify and classify about 250 firearms, not that great, but good enough that teachers come to me. I'm not obsessed, it's just that I needed to prove a few people wrong, so I got into it.

I don't like the sound of that. ALL of the hoses on my RF20 are exposed, and against my arm. Anyhow, you are better off with a NF for a longer range gun. Unless you want to do some extensive replacement of parts on your RF20, like hoses, barrels, bladder, pump, valves (or valve if you get rid of the select fire feature, like I did). Basically you are better off with a NF for range, but keep your stock RF20 for closer range combat. The full autoness (word?) will come in handy when if the situation gets in real close.When you push this gun, it breaks completely. Vinyl explosions.
#27394 Nerf Bb Guns
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 31 May 2004 - 08:47 PM in General Nerf
[]::::[]
[] is small section of FBR
: are BBs
6mm BBs are .24 cal. If 1/4 inch aluminum tubing is used for the barrel, there would be a .1 inch gap. That would make some powerful gun. like a maxshot, have less muzzle velocity, making it safer, in theory.

Cx, you have one huge pile of weaponry. 64 guns. You could arm a battalion!
My AT3K now has one barrel, it gets farther than my NF and almost as far as my Super Soaker. I might get 2 SS1s. It depends on my sister's boyfriend (he's the one that has them).

<EDIT>The "felt" is actually fleece. My bad. But still, having really powerful guns that shoot really heavy Stefans is sweet. Here's a pic of a can that had one shot from a supersoaker shooting a half ounce weighted half inch Stefan.

-Super Soaker XP55 with cardboard barrel (15/32" ID), non-magnifying scope (accurate up to 45 feet), ten dart ammo holders, homemade ramrod (SM3k valve puller shoved onto an unsharpened pencil) and RF20 pump; painted green.
-NF (stubby modded) with Crayola breech and 1/2" of 1/2" PVC for a barrel stub; painted green.
-AT3K with Crayola barrels, removal of Goo Tube (replaced with 1.5 feet of tubing), air release valve plugged.<EDIT>Currently has one barrel, breech loaded, gets NF ranges<EDIT>
-B&A with 3/4" inch PCV barrel (for Nerf megas), spring stretched, forward handle replaced with 3/4" PVC and styrofoam, used rarely; it has no practical purpose and it sucks.
-RF20, stubby modified, clip modded, SM1500 pump added, valve instead of trigger, semi-auto valve removed, bladder bike tube modded (inner and outer), safety guard on top thing removed, used rarely; I hate full auto.<EDIT>currently not in working order. It shoots a little over ten feet and skips every fourth dart<EDIT>
-BF, top barrel disabled (busted, would let air through when pumped), no barrels at all, no pump, not in use.
-Homemade, cardboard barrel (17/32" ID), muzzle loaded, Crayola breech, double ball valve, BF pump, no endcap on tank, not in use.

As for felt, I can barely get felt tight enough around 1/2 inch backer rod in order to get it in 1/2 inch PVC. I was able to get it to fit in 3/4 inch PVC nicely though.

I might be able to go there this summer. PM me the whereabouts and stuff because we don't want to hijack my thread. I might be able to bring a few (like two) friends. They don't have very many weapons (one has a T3, the other a PC, who might be buying a NF, and a weird Batman gun thing) but I am going to be lending the one with the T3 my RF20, and the PC one my homemade. That way they will have a bit more and won't suck too bad. I'll give profiles of both on a PM if you want.
#27062 Just A Thought...
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 26 May 2004 - 04:54 PM in Homemades
As for the anti-tank weapons, I was thinking more along the lines of one very powerful homemade that was about five feet long and shoulder fired. Maybe solenoid operated?
Accessories for the cart are endless. I mean, neon lights around the base, chrome pipes, chrome bumpers,anything. Unfortunately the plywood would cover it all up.

Magnets? That was a brilliant idea. Too bad I stopped using the RF20. I even took the pump out and used it to replace my super soaker pump. Now I have an SM1500 pump on the RF20. Sucks like no tomorrow.
#27002 New Use For Ball Valves
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 25 May 2004 - 03:47 PM in Homemades
Do you mean so that it opens easier? because if the spring itself opens it, then during refilling one has to keep their hand on the valve handle. I was thinking of something very similar to this, but ruled it out because of that. Instead I just use the thumd on my left hand to assist, once I get my homemade working again. Solenoids operated valves, however costly they are, are pretty much the best choice for a quickly opening valve. As for a latch, what kind of valve handle? If it has a plastic double wing design, just drill a hole and hook up one end of the spring to it. If it has one handle, I guess the same thing, except it's metal, so use of a stronger bit and more powerful drill is needed.

To reply your problem, did you cut out enough plastic to get the barrel assembly removed? Pics may help, if possible.

One last thing, alkaselzer (sp) does not provide very much force when put in water and shaken up in a film case. I know this from first hand experience in the fifth grade. Even when the kid used three selzers and a full thing of water, and all other posibilities of combinations, he was not able to get a very large amount of force rapidly. The best working version took two minutes to blow. It really blew though. I'm sorry that I don't remember the amounts of the water/seltzers that he used. Just take this post as my two cents, and then sum.

In case you can't tell from the picture, which you probably can't from the angle at which it was taken, it uses a SM1500 pump. The picture may not work, if so, then just say so and I'll try it again. Sorry for the typos in the last post. I was tired. That's also why the picture is a bit blurry.
#26535 Homemade Internals For Sm1500
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 19 May 2004 - 01:30 PM in Homemades
Hmm...super soaker? I have an old XP55 and XXP175 that need something to do. I'm kinda interested in your project because one of them has two barrels and can be modified to use rubber bladders instead of tanks to hold pressure, once i get around to it. The other is useless without a pump, so iuf your idea uses something besides a pump, then i would definetly like to know if your idea uses CO2, compressed air, etc., and how it works out.
<EDIT> Is it just me, or does the pull valve in an XP55 look very similar to the oones used in SM? It may just be that they're both pull valves and that's why<EDIT>

With the other topic on this thread, I don't have to angle any of my guns that I've modified. They all have the barrels tilted upward at least 10 degrees. My NF is the worst at 25 degrees. Not on purpose, but it's just what happened when I jammed the crayola barrel in it. So yeah, I now have to angle my gun downward in order to hit anything within 40' of me with my NF.
#26520 Homemade Internals For Sm1500
Posted by GeneralPrimevil on 19 May 2004 - 08:06 AM in Homemades
1.) Completely homemade with CO2. I posted a valve on this site before. Using a small verson of that valve (2.25 inch total length) and some braided steel cable tubes, along with a new barrel/valve coupler, as in, the thing that connects the valve to the barrel turret, in order to alow higher pressure CO2. The CO2 adapter will be the one found on the site linked below. I would also have to re-engineer the trigger out of 1/4 inch steel plate in order to allow the new valve.
2.) Same as above, but instead of a CO2 adapter and stuff, the pump and tube from a Blastfire because the original pump (and valve) have no threads for tubes.
3.) Just throwing it all away, and selling the case. I would use the turrets on my NF then.
Number three seems to be the easiest solution.

Flames welcome for my stupidity, or for requesting to be yelled at. I just really see no purpose for this either. It just gives me something to do for the summer.
Advice is welcome. Be it with this project or for future posts on this websites forum.
