This reminded me of an idea I had a while back. When I was looking at the Magstrike I noticed it resembled somewhat a paint ball gun with the tank jutting out the rear end. Then I thought, hey! What if we cut off the tank and did sort of what CS did but instead of a back pack tank/bladder, we could put an actual paint ball C02 tank! One of the 20oz. refillable ones, for those of us who can refill on at home, this could be very convenient. We could carry multiple clips and tanks and we might be able to get several clips out of one tank. Might not be as practical as CS's version, but for someone with the money and knowhow, this could work very well!!!
Sorry for the hijack.

Its a flywheel design. Even if the wheel is spinning faster, it can't throw the dart any further, just faster. I don't see any potential in this gun. Just like the Mech Tommy series, it'll go nowhere as a weapon.

I don't see how that gun is the only true s?iper rifle? Is it because it uses shells, or that its semi auto, or what? Because I've seen guns that shoot farther and more accurate. Not as practical but still, what are you basing this on?The only true nerf "loser" rifle ever made:
http://boltsniper.com/BS-1/BS1.htm
That said, "losing" in nerf is retarded, impractical, and it goes against everything nerf stands for (not to mention it's not really possible). In fact, it is such an Effeminate failure in nerf that we can't even type it without it becoming hilariously and deservedly filtered, via our awesome overlords.

Haha, okay... NO. I'm not a cheap ass. When I say cheap, I mean "low quality". The brown paint I used on my AT3K was a $8 can of paint, but it still sucked. However, the lower priced paint does the job just fine, but I'm not a fan of gloss, so I just stick to flat black and at $.96, I've never been let down.In my experience, if you use cheap hi-gloss paints, it will be gummy even after weeks of drying. I painted my AT3K with a cheap hi-gloss brown and I couldn't pump it for a good 2 months. So I always use flat colors. Unfortunately that limits your color range. But adding thickness isn't whats going to stop your accessories from attaching, its whether or not your surface is smooth and bonded well. Luckily for me, I always paint mine with that cheap $.96 flat black Wal-Mart spray paint. So if you wants flat black, there's the way to go.
Heh... You avoid gloss because you don't want to spend a little more on paint? Seriously?
DupliColor makes a really nice gloss black Vinyl Dye, and some really kickass Metallics.
Krylon Fusion has some really good gloss as well.
Don't be a cheapass about your paint and you won't have problems.

Take a washer thats bigger than the spring, but smaller than the plunger rod (if possible), take the plunger head and the spring off, put it before the catch on the plunger rod, then reassemble. The washer should be on the plunger tube side of the barrier, not the catch side, but that should take care of it as long as the inner diameter of the washer is smaller than the diameter of the spring.

Well, if the o-ring is too big that it doesn't slid smoothly through the plunger, then the ranges will suck. You want the o-ring to be just big enough to create a perfect seal between the head and the wall. I always use this little test to check my seals. Stick the plunger head in the plunger and stick the barrel in your mouth. Then blow out and then inhale through the barrel and if the plunger moves with ever breath, you got a good seal.

True, however I think they're referring to straight consumption or "huffing". In this case hes just using the air in his mouth. He should be just fine if he doesn't eat it. Also, he should be using a light oil. It works better than WD40. I got a small 4oz bottle from a hobby should for like 5 bucks. Stuff works great! 4 years later and I still have 3/4 of the bottle!!!^ I would highly reccomend aganst doing that if you have sprayed any kind of silicone lubricant on the plunger.

Okay, I'm sure I'm going to get yelled at for this, but I've been searching for an hour now and I've found all kinds of stuff of clothespin triggers and other triggers EXCEPT how to make one! I understand the concept of it because its pretty simple, but what I don't understand in what happens when you pull back the plunger? Wouldn't the plunger head get stuck on the nail? So that would mean you'd have to pull the trigger to cock it. then does the nail hold the plunger from in front of the head, or a hole drilled in the head? I'm so confused. I can't find anything that actually shows how to make one the right way and how it works. I've never made a homemade before I always just mod guns, but now I'm really lost.

No, we just like replacing barrels for shits and giggles... Yes, it improves ranges if you do its right. Crayola barrels are noob proof, but I recommend Roseart markers instead. They're cheaper and they don't need to be drilled out inside. CPVC confuses new modders because its very tight on darts and people think they're doing it wrong. Either one need no structural modifications to the gun.

I understand what you're saying here. And this is the reason why I started this topic because I knew no one would believe me if I told them I broke the 80ft barrier. I wanted to see if anyone has. I can get video proof of me shooting my night finder that can get a 96 foot level shot. I know it sounds crazy, so thats why I started this thread.I know you meant well by this thread Banshee, but range boasting threads never end well. All this dick wagging and at least one person always posts bullshit ranges, like analogkid has just done. It has been discussed way too many times in the past and no one has EVER gotten a NF to shoot 100' level. It can't be done! Did you ever post your mod so we all can see how you broke the 80-foot barrier? I'm thinking no, you have not. Has any of the much more experienced modders like FA_24 or CS achieved 100 feet? No.
There was a user from last year named precisionnerfer that said he had gotten his NF to shoot 100 feet. He even sent it to me to test it and verify or disprove his ranges. Suffice it to say, it shot about 75 feet average, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S NF CAN!!! He let me keep the gun and to this day, it shoots what I tested t to shoot.
Unless you have definitive proof analogkid of your gun shooting 100 feet level, I highly suggest you just stop now before you embarrass yourself further.
May an admin see this quickly before it spirals out of control like every range thread before it.
If you're curious as to how I did that, I nested a double shot spring with NF spring and banded it with a new Roseart marker barrel and AR removal. But I took out a tape measure and got 3/4 rounds over 90 feet with no wind. Don't believe me if you don't want to but I'm just trying to say, sometimes crazy ranges aren't all bullshit.

Most of us, if not all of us own at least one Nightfinder. I have like 3 or 4 and I just re-modded one of mine and I'm getting very good ranges. Higher ranges than I've heard of from a NF. But I'm not sure, so I want to know how far does your Nightfinder shoot? Angled or flat, doesn't matter, just let me know which one.
I'm curious to see who's got the most kickass Nightfinder!

Yeah, I'd fuck myself too if someone showed me a Nightfinder with a stock plunder that can reach 100ft level. Mine can't do that, but if I banded it with like 8 large bands I might but I'm afraid of only getting a couple shots off like you said. I think my great ranges are due to my very good darts. stock taggers out of my gun only shoot about 75 feet. But as I said I'm going to do a mod and see If I can hit 100ft without replacing the plunger or damaging anything.
And please people, lets not start fighting. I asked a simple question that requires a simple answer. If someone is going to bitch another person out for making radical claims I'd call them childish and insecure. Let people exaggerate with their claims. If they can't prove it then consider them full of shit, but there is no need to tell them, they already know it. As for me, I'm going to see what I can do about hitting 100 feet.

I'm replacing all the internals of my nitefinder and I have all the parts except the plunger rod. I don't have any extra rods lying around to make an extra long one and frankly that sounds like a cheap way to go, so i want to build one. However I can't seem to find the materials ANYWHERE. I'd really rather not order something if I don't have to, so I'm wondering what to use that can be found at regular stores. I've looked for 3/8" square metal tubing in all sizes and the don't have the right size. They do have steel but its way to heavy. Wood is too fragile, and they don't sell acrylic or Plexiglas thick enough. I'd like some PVC square rods but I have no clue where I'd find that other than online? Is it used for something specific so I might be able to find it at a specialty store?
Any ideas?

You could have a bandoleer with the rail clips or something similar and attach the Eliminators. Keep them loaded and primed for awesome "shoot, drop then grab another" action! Though it would be kinda of a hassle to collect tiny pistols during a firefight.

Where did you get that idea?What gun are you talking about. The PAS
Anyways, try taking most if not all the internals out of the gun so its just the shell and install the slide on it and try cocking it. If it moves then everyone here is right and you reassembled it wrong. If not, then we can assume the paint is holding it. In which case give it several days to completely dry and try it. If it still doesn't work then sand off the paint underneath the slide.

I am heading to a hardware store after work and I don't have a dart with me to test fit the brass sizes, but last time I was there there where two sizes that were very close to each other. One size fit looser than PETG, and one fit almost as tight as CPVC. I'm using stock sonic micro's and I'm using the brass for a brass breech in a longshot, not very similar to Angel's, so I can't take his word for the sizes, especially since he used tightening rings.
If I use the tighter brass, I'll risk trimming the darts, so I need to know if anyone knows which size fits the best for what I'm doing? I can add tightening rings on loose brass, but I can't expand the brass very easily.
Thanks!
