#300236 Savannah Nerf Outing

Posted by veginator on 20 June 2011 - 02:47 PM in Nerf Wars

I have been away for long time here for a bunch of reasons, but I’m itching to get back. SO who wants to come to good ol’ Savannah for a war?
Address:
100 Constitution Way
Richmond Hill, GA 31324
The Venue:

Possible Dates:
July 30 (0)
August 6 (0)
August 13 (2 votes)

Rules:

Eye protection is a MUST!

NO HOMEMADE AIR GUNS! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Don't be a douchebag. If the strength of the weapon is considered to be excessive we reserve the right to "spot ban" it.

No singled, plugged Titans. Titans are allowed if they have more than 3 barrels(shotgunned)

No tack darts (A.K.A-deathdarts)

s :No guns that shoot over 200 feet.

No darts heavier than a nerf ball. Stefans must have a rubber, glue, cloth, or foam cover.

All darts and guns will be inspected thoroughly, no jutting out spikes on guns---use your head guys, and remember that these are toys--lets keep it that way!

Barrel Tapping is allowed however, your gun MUST be locked and loaded to tap--A tap from 5 feet away is nicer than being shot, wink...wink.

Do NOT bring anything painted all black. We REALLY don't want the cops called for someones stupidity!
Gun hits do NOT count at our wars. If I hear the distinctive “tick” of a dart striking a hard surface I assume it has not hit a human.

What to Bring:
-Water and plenty of it
-Sunscreen
-At LEAST one primary (if I deem your blaster unfit to be used on humans then you will not be able to use it)
-Darts

PLEASE: Remember the don’t be a dick rule is always in effect

#178474 At3k Problem

Posted by veginator on 20 September 2008 - 07:13 PM in General Nerf

I have recently aquired two at3k's and they sucked when stock so I proceeded to take out the air restrictors and replace the barrels. There is one problem with this though, I think I have gotten some debris in the valve or the o-ring is just old, but either way the valve is not sealing so could somebody please help me.

#178483 At3k Problem

Posted by veginator on 20 September 2008 - 07:56 PM in General Nerf

Okay so I couldn't see anything downin there but I decided to swab it with a Q-tip and then sprayed it with some more lube. Then being the genius that I am decided to not try to see if it worked and just go back to the computer to see if some one could help me. Well I just tried the pump and it works now.

Looks good man. This is mine from a couple years back...

In fact this has been done at least three separate times before. I did one a couple months back and some one posted yet another example of it being done.

#162198 Longshot Catch Mech

Posted by veginator on 10 July 2008 - 11:37 AM in Modifications

No ones done it. They've all been talking out there ass. Unless they never posted it.

You don't need to do it unless your spring is stronger than a ar15+ bbb spring combo (don't try that, trust me).

You only need to reinforce the bolt's connection to the bolt catch (if you replaced the breech) with glue. and put PVC in the stock so it doesn't collapse.

Thanks, I thought that since people were talking about it that someone had actually done it.

Most of the south-east wars recently have been primarily in Georgia, and there have been some in Florida.
Upcoming ones are:
Georgia:
+ Spring SENO (March 29th)

I am having a bit of trouble with reinforcing the catch mechanism of the Longshot. Could anybody tell descriptions or pics of how they did this?

I think we should do make a list of nerfers like the one at NerfHQ. This could help plan for future wars. Please put your name and location and I will be constantly updating.

Posted by veginator on 14 July 2010 - 05:10 PM in Modifications

Don't refund it, dude. That's incredibly lame. I'd hate to buy a 'new' blaster only to find out someone phuct up the insides.

Why would they put a broken gun back on the shelf? If he just says its broken and I want my money back, they will just give him his money back.

#272784 Reinforcing The Pas

Posted by veginator on 20 April 2010 - 02:10 PM in Modifications

The plunger rod itself needs to be reinforced. It was the one thing that would break in mine which had a stock and [k26] combo.

#238087 Paintshop Help

Posted by veginator on 22 June 2009 - 09:20 PM in Modifications

The only way to get a smooth gradient is to use an air brush. A spray can does not fully atomize the paint so it will just look blotchy.

Posted by veginator on 22 June 2009 - 09:26 PM in Modifications

I am sure you will be fine with that pump ,but I would like to add that those couplers you used on the PVC tank are DWV or Drain Waste Vent fittings. They are not pressure rated so I would advise you not to replace the pump with a bike pump or similar.

If you have no intention of upgrading the pump please disregard this.

Really? The box just listed them as couplers...
I am using a bike pump, and havent noticed anything, even at the max I feel safe with of 70.
Well, thanks for the info, if it explodes in my face, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

And someone that doesnt like my Pokemon quilt?!

Because of the physical properties of PVC you won't notice anything until it blows up.

I LOVE your pokemon quilt.

#267616 Homemade Gun?

Posted by veginator on 02 March 2010 - 05:19 PM in Homemades

The name you are seeking is a Check Valve, it lets air in one way, they are easily home made, or you can buy them at a hardware store.........

Ummm, no he had it right. A schrader valve is the one-way valve used on bike tires. That way he actually has a way to fill the tank.

I think you should post a write up, however complex it may be.

If he doesn't want to make a write-up he doesn't have plus it is fairly simple design that you could figure out just by looking at it.

Well any way I like your design and attatching the hose handle and the ball valve is just genius.

#205411 At3k Faceplate

Posted by veginator on 22 January 2009 - 05:57 PM in Modifications

Looks good, man. You should add a bit of epoxy or bondo or something like that around the edges to bring it together before you paint it, just to smooth it out.

Just add a liitle bondo says the guy with the bondo contaminated apartment.

On-topic:I really like it. Finally, I will not have to go around with a giant hole in my gun.

#141739 Sorry And Explaining

Posted by veginator on 21 February 2008 - 03:43 PM in Homemades

No, it will not just be pressure rated to 300psi I plan on going up that high. How you ask, ever heard of a CO2 regulator?

@Ice I am glad to see you saw the error in your ways. By the way dont use any more ball valves I tried that once but it didnt work well try to go with a modded sprinkler valve.

Good mod on an unknown gun ,or at least to me. May I ask where you got this off brand BBB? Also is this a new or old gun?

Date is now definitely the 17th so sound off if you are attending.

#140870 Sorry And Explaining

Posted by veginator on 17 February 2008 - 07:20 PM in Homemades

Recently people got upset when I was flaming (yes I admit it) the avenger made by ice, but there are some reasons why. (this is more like a guide line for all homemades)
1. Always use pvc cement andprimer and apply them properly.
2. DWV, Cellular core, and ABS pipe and fittings are a no no. Your chamber must be pressure rated.
3. Have a way to measure psi(this does not include number of pumps)
If you have not followed these guidelines you have created a bomb and are a danger to yourself and everyone within a 50 foot radius. Otherwise good job.

#140885 Sorry And Explaining

Posted by veginator on 17 February 2008 - 07:56 PM in Homemades

Thanks by the way has anybody posted a 300 psi copper cannon on here before because I have one in the works

#140989 Sorry And Explaining

Posted by veginator on 18 February 2008 - 10:03 AM in Homemades

Well you guys caught me Ive been a user of spudfiles for over a year now

. But yeah Im building a 300+ psi cannon and and if I bug my dad enough he might buy a 200 psi air compressor .

I like the design. Just please tell me thats not hot glue holding those metal fittings into the tank.

#191980 At3k Pump Extension

Posted by veginator on 25 November 2008 - 09:46 PM in Modifications

Anyway, as for the 3K, flow-rate isn't the limiting factor. It's pressure (and I think the seal, but I'm not sure). The design of the pump makes it more difficult to get as much pressure built up compared to an AT2K or other pump guns that have an exruting pump (instead of a sliding pump, like on the AT3K, AT4K, and SM3K).

The purpose of this mod was to make slide pump guns such as the at3k easier to pump when they are plugged. I think it turned out well.

Materials needed:
6-7 inches of 1/2inch OD aluminum pipe
3 in of 1/2 cpvc
1/2 cpvc endcap
at3k or similar slide pump gun

Tools needed:
1/2 inch drill bit
drill
glue of choice
dremmel of round file

First locate the pump and take it out.

Now drill through the hole shown with the 1/2 inch drill bit

Once you have done that jam your aluminium into the hole you drilled.

Now to make room for the aluminum you need to cut this piece out of both sides of the shell.

You are also going to have to close up the shell and take your drill and make another half inch hole.You are also going to have to file it down so it doesn't rub.

Next you need to cut the aluminum to size and drill out your cpvc to fit over the aluminium and glue it on there.

Finally slap on the end cap and put on some barrells if you haven't already.

It is now much easier to pump up the gunto high pressures because of such a smaller amout of friction on the new pump handle.

Questions/Comments/Flames?

#192141 At3k Pump Extension

Posted by veginator on 26 November 2008 - 07:04 PM in Modifications

Good idea! I've done the version where you extend the track as much as possible and remove the front screw post from the handle. It works really nicely. I like this version better, though. I guess I know what I'm doing to the other two I have...

I'm glad you like it.

I think you will find it much easier to put in a lot more pressure. With the slide I practically had to brace the gun on my chest to put in 8 pumps but now I can easily put in 10(not recommended).

#178928 Pistol With External Tank

Posted by veginator on 22 September 2008 - 08:22 PM in Homemades

Okay thats way better than having hot glue keeping those things in there. Let me tell you its scary as hell to have one of these things blow apart in your hands. One more thing I would recomend though, drill through where the caps overlap the pipe it is much stronger.

#192073 At3k Pump Extension

Posted by veginator on 26 November 2008 - 01:40 PM in Modifications

And I thought it was my first actually oringinal mod. I guess I should have searched better then.

#203627 Recon Spring Addition With Removable Stock

Posted by veginator on 15 January 2009 - 05:59 PM in Modifications

that is not a good idea...That would make your stock EXTREMELY flimsy. And with 2 springs in that gun, I'm sure after repeated use your stock would break. Mine has a reinforced and weighted stock, and even then the stock still bends a tad when I prime the gun. I would suggest using some foam, or even just tape to strengthen it a bit.

What did you reinforce your own stock with foam? If you did than of course it will bend. Instead use what I use 22gauge steel. It will never bend again.

Carbon, what section in ace would you find the springs.

I have been trying to get new springs for my guns ,but I haven't been able to find any could you please tell me where to find some.

#205241 New Type Of Spring

Posted by veginator on 21 January 2009 - 08:30 PM in Modifications

If you want to use an extension spring why not attach it directly to the plunger rod?

#205409 New Type Of Spring

Posted by veginator on 22 January 2009 - 05:51 PM in Modifications

Uh, it is perfect seal how else would I be able to put in air then compress it. The air would just leak out.

#205328 New Type Of Spring

Posted by veginator on 22 January 2009 - 06:50 AM in Modifications

Splitlip I don't think you or many other people get what I did. This is not an air cylinder actuated by air coming through the schrader. I first put about 20 psi in the valve and then the pump is extended. When the shaft is pushed back the air compresses and acts like a spring.

Thank you foamfoot but the pogo stick is about 10 times bigger.

#205252 New Type Of Spring

Posted by veginator on 21 January 2009 - 08:49 PM in Modifications

If your going to use the springs with it also, it will probably accelerate slower than the springs, rendering it useless.

If I could make another one with less friction it would accelerate at close to the same speed as the spring.
