With a little work, EaBs can be great primaries. Mine has a PETG barrel (10 inches), a spring replacement, improved seal (vaccum loads) a dart stop, 2 bungies and surgical rubber added for extra power. It gets 95ft. Im not lying. 95ft vaccum loading is friggin amazing. You need to put on A LOT of etape on the plunger head to get a good seal, but the pluger tube is huge, so once you do, that thing is putting out a lot of air, fast.
I hope this helped, I would do oodalump's NF plunger tube extension on your NF, and slap on a bunch of bands. Deaddumpster can attest to the NF he modded in this way (which he sold to me) was hitting 85ft flat at HbH2.

Yeah, Franken mod was started out by me. I had it integrated in a much different way, with me hot gluing the tanks directly to the LS. The LS was (is) singled. The thing looked like shit, With the tubes sticking out, one barrel having no PETG in it, the gun was half painted and the pump was really crooked. It was the result of me having pre war "what the hell am I going to use" panic attacks before HbH2, and me throwing it together from spare parts from 3 LSs and a MS I had integrated into my xbow, that I took off before I sold it. I sold "FrankenMod" to K9 that day.
Brings back good memories.
Great job, I like the stabilization. I can see that thing being feared at many wars to come.

Thats no tank, it's just the valve unit from the gun, it just happens to have enough volume to make an awesome tank.
I wasn't too sure what it was, it just seemed like it would work. I will be the first to admit I don't know ANYTHING about supersoakers.
Yeah, I like the thing a lot. I can take it to 5 pumps, but I didn't let the goop dry long enough (I left it overnight) and the tubing came off. I did get 90ft with that shot though. This is one pimpin little tank. A lot of kick-assery in one small package.

Anyway, I was at my cousin's house over the summer, and I noticed he had a SM5K looking super soaker. I asked him if I could have it. He said yes, I brought it home.
This is it: EDIT: Site said they would sue if I used pic without permission. Just google it.
It was leaking out the pump. I never looked at it again until yesterday. I noticed the airtank, which was hooked up to the water tank and air pump via some tubing that looked like small, thick petg. I cut the PETG where it went into the tank. The tank itself looks like a SM750, so I said, perfect, into the xbow she goes.
I cannot integrate a 2k, as the front of my xbow is cut off due to the previous owner trying to hook it up to a DTB turret. 2k is too big, this is smaller.
Here it is.
I etaped some vinyl tubing and gooped it into the hole like I would with a 2k. I coupler'd it, and shot it, getting about 75ft flat. This is with 3 pumps using a 2k pump and PETG.
Very good idea to convert this to nerf if you have one lying around. With the little amount of pumps and the good ranges in such a compact size, they are great.

Imaseoulman: I have been anxiously awaiting that 100ft PC writeup ever since you posted your ranges like a year ago. Is it happening? Im sure that the NIC would really appreciate it if you passed on your knowledge before you left. Kinda like Confucius and the Analects in a way. Except hopefully you will come back, unlike Confucius.
Frankie: Nice mod, I did something similar on my old PC but I never got those ranges. I only used 4-5 bands, so I guess the inner tube counts as more. I really need to get another...

I can attest to it being awesome indoors. At Massacre2, during CTF push, we had one of these things hidden behind a barricade near our wall. The idea was that if someone came running with the flag, the nearest person would grab the DTB and start unloading on them.
Outdoors, almost as useless as a mav (which K9 still managed to shoot me with at HbH2. )

Just a quick question is the 10 shot (dart tag gun) a primary or a secondary just want to get your opinion.
Too big to be a sidearm, too crappy range to be a primary. I would only use one of these integrated into a LS or BBB.

No, front handle is staying in place. I may integrate a 2k, but this think is really pissing me off, I have tried 4 replacement springs, and they are stronger than the stock, but somehow DECREASE range. Makes no sense.

Looking forward to something awesome from this blaster, so keep working on it! Good start to it, but I want more range!
Im sure the range will go up once I add the new spring (It was a replacmemt for my sawtooth, which also has a tiny plunger tube) cut off the front of the gun where the faux barrel is, and work on the shells a little more.
I think this thing could break 70ft with enough mods.

So what's that spring on the outside of the plunger tube for? Does it push the plunger tube against the shells and improve the seal?
Hit the nail right on the head there. That is why a plunger tube replacement would be difficult.

Ok, as K9turrent described, the BBCB is a pretty good stock gun. I can vouch for it hitting 30ft flat on several occasions out of the box. Well, it's time to change that to something a little higher.
STEP 1. Remove all your screws. There are an obscene amount. No caps or anything. Here is a pic of the internals to reference:
So go ahead and rip out the plunger tube. One thing I found iteresting is the spring (which is pretty weak, I actually do have a replacement for it) is tapered at one end. One end is wider than the other. Fit a dremel drill bit into your dremel and widen the hole at the end of the plunger tube:
Don't over do this. It will ruin the seal with the shells. I also liked how all the moving parts were very well lubed. There was no need to apply lube to the plunger head. Put some etape on it, but I was out so I didn't.
Now, believe it or not, we are done with internal modifications. Close it up, and make sure it rotates well. I haven't had any skipping problems, it is like the razorbeast on crack.
Next, the shells. Well, they are buzbee shells that snap together. They have huge restrictors. When I put my hand on the end of the barrel and fire with no dart, I can feel a good burst of air hit it. With a shell in, nothing. Take that same dremel drill bit and take it to the hole in the back of each shell. Make it look something a little cleaner than this:
There is a ring on the back of the shell, get rid of all the plastic in that, and drill out the barrel post.
Now take your dremel sanding bit and sand the shit out of the inside of the shell, enough to fit some PETG in. End result should look like this:
Now take a small piece of 17/32 brass and cut it to about 1/2 inch. Glue it into the back of the PETG:
Cut the PETG down to just overlaping the end of the shell:
Hot glue it in there. Clean up any residue glue on the lip, or it won't rotate properly.
Rinse and repeat 29 more times. I only did it twice before doing the write up. I did one without the brass too, accuracy went up.
You are done now.
Now the part you have all been waiting for: Ranges.
I don't have a good length halway in my house, nor an open area to test it in. My longest hallway is 35ft long, and the darts hit the end of it with a bit of drop and a good smack. Im going to guess 50-55ft. The spring can definitely be replaced, and the plunger seal isn't the best either. The faux barrel also kills range a bit.
Expect another episode of the BBCB in a few days.

A couple things.
1. The LSFG has NO potential. Your crappy ranges are normal.
2. An incomplete trigger pull will only affect air guns, as the air leaks out slowly. As long as it fires, you are fine.
Otherwise, nice job. Your LSFG integration is much cleaner than mine.

I didn't think you would pull it off to be honest. You guys weren't joking at all. Well, I started on mine last night. Ive got the copper, wrapped in etape, and a LSFG faux barrel to cover the breech. Im using 9/16 brass for the main barrel. I need to do some more tweaking, but I did test it, and Im getting 110-115ft. This is with my PAS with a xbow spring added to the stock.

Ive been to HbH2 (outdoor) and Massacre 2 (indoor) I must say I enjoyed HbH more, partly because it was my first war, but I did like being able to run around more and try more ridiculous shit. Massacre was a VERY different experience, though also a blast. IT was running from barrier to barrier GOW style. I prefer an open style of play, but that is just me. I still had a great time.
Dart loss is another factor. I lost 3/4 of my darts at HbH, while at massacre, I maybe lost 10 darts total, by ruining them against walls.
Gun factor wasn't an issue, any gun that was allowed at any major war was allowed at both wars.
I enjoy them both, but I like getting out in the fresh air and sunshine and running around. That's just me. Both style of wars are a lot of fun, and I would go to ether without a moment's hesitation.
