1. Xbow. no integrations, plunger tube replaced. Crappy PJ. Hacked up shell. 3 bungies. nuff said. 120ft.
2. 1st gen NF. PPkd, CPVC coupler'd, spring replaced, ars removed, bands. 65-70ft.
The only setup that has truly worked for me up to now, and Ive tried at least 5 over the course of 2 day-long wars. I thought I loved AT2ks, but the one I had must have had awesomesauce poured down the barrel because it was getting a good 85ft flat with only barrel replacements and pump plug. I have not been able to match it since it died.

I think I just JIZZED IN MY PANTS!
Way to go everyone, stealing my idea.... Check out my first post in the tread.
Anyway, Slug, I came up with a few questions:
1. I noticed there was no spring rest reinforcement. I couldn't tell if your new plunger setup bypassed the need for them, or what, but if not, I would HIGHLY suggest reinforcing them. It may not be as pretty opening up the gun, but it's hella worth it.
2. Due to the unique vocabulary used in the write up, I was unable to tell whether you used any type of glue/solvent/adheisive of any kind to attach the SF. Is it all held on by the bracket?

I like how you affixed the SF to the xbow without piles of hot glue. Very clean.
I hope to be shot with this someday.

I spoke with Fester today.
He is going to contact the school and see if we can arrange the event for May 9th.
Would everyone be content with that date?
Im a strong possibility for the 9th. I would need to pay the full 25$, I won't have time to make stefans when I get back. Ill talk to my cousin. He may want to come too.
One thing: due to the nature of my circumstances (getting back to the country 3 days before) would it be possible for me to pay at the door? Even if I get my parent's consent/ride, I still may be just too jetlagged/sick/burried in culminating activities to come.

I would replace the pump with a dual action bike pump like Ryan##### did. That way you would not have to pump it as much. I think you might have a leak or something because the ranges you are getting are standard AT2K ranges, you should be getting close to 100ft with as singled, plugged 2k, without the MS bladder. Cutting the MS bladder in half would, as perezinthenet said, keep your ranges and make it possible to achieve good pressure with (judging by how fast my dual action bike pump pumps my titan) 4 or 5 pumps. Hope this helps.

I use some glue that has a similar make-up to zap a gap, and then I put epoxy putty over that. It hasn't failed me yet.
You mean Fishin' Glue. And I personally like this stuff, it is easy to sand, and twice as strong as Fishin' Glue.
Yeah, that stuff looks pretty amazing. If I were you, Umpshapapla (sorry if I butchered your name) I would tack it with fishin glue/zap a gap, and then put this epoxy stuff that nerfnut is talking about over that. I don't think you want to hold your integration piece imobile for 30 mins for it to set. The fishin glue sets in 15 seconds, and it will hold the joint for the epoxy to work.

I got pretty good ranges, 75ft with 3 pumps with an AT2K pump (plugged). You are getting better ranges with the bigger tank, but do you really want to pump it 100 times? I think it is well worth sacrificing 5ft of range for the improved ROF.

#218747 Petg Question
Posted by

in
General Nerf
From what crooked said my darts are ok. I just want some of that sweet harder foam backing rod that FA24 has. The crummy grey stuff at rona just isn't the same.
I've used 10 ft of PETG so far and I've only made 2 guns. My theory is if it only fires one dart before you have to reload, why bother?
Oh, plus Keitan's shotgun requires 2 more feet of PETG then the next 2 mods I'm thinking of will require 7 more feet of PETG.
That rona stuff is the most frustrating crap I have ever had the misfortune to use. It fits NOTHING!! I ordered some OMC petg about a year ago, and it didn't fit that, it was too big, then I tried rona CPVC, and that was too tight. 17/32 was too. Angel's FBR is awesome. Use that or Hereticorp's black stuff.
Oh and you won't regret ordering 50ft. I ordered 20ft, I was out within 2 months...
OMC is in stock I believe, he was out a while ago, but I believe he got some more.

No, it would just turn into a whole opinion of which gun is better in the movie/game and who would "Pwn" who if they went up against each-other in real life.
Langley: WHen I went to NO, a picture came up of a guy (possibly VACC) holding a mass of duct tape/xbow. Is that the original binky? I think I saw two LnLs on the side, which got me wondering. That is cool.

#217639 Modded Bbbb Plugging Question
Posted by

Modifications
Fairly new to moding, I just finished moding a Bbbb into a quad shot shotgun. I'm contimplating now weather I should plug the air release valve or not as was recomended in some of the modding posts.
If I do descide to plug the air release how many pumps is a safe ammount? How many is Cutting it close and how many will either cause the chamber to explode or would end up hurting someone?
Keep in mind I'm firing 4 darts at once instead of one (only really relates to the last question).
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Hey, Im not sure if you remember me from massacre2, I was the dude with the crossbow who took the cross gym headshot, anyway, Hi. As for plugging the BBBB, I would stick to 15 pumps. I blew one of mine apart with 18, but it had tank issues from the beginning. I would definitely plug it though, it would be worth it for the 4 dart spread+ decent range instead of 4 dart spread+NF range. As for hurting someone, don't shoot them at less than 30ft with it, and you will be fine. I shot my buddy with my 3 shot titan (plugged) at 35ft, he barely had any welts (2 0f 3 hit him). He was fine. Titans are more powerful than BBBBs, this had 3 shots, not 4.
Hope that helped.
#217586 Headshots

General Nerf
EDIT: I think a good rule of thumb is to aim for the upper stomach/lower chest. You won't get any dangerous shots doing that. I do that, and that gives a good amount of clearance for dart deformities/barrel crookedness to likely avoid the face and genital region. Sure, I have hit people in the head and nuts by accident, but I have only ever got 1 headshot, and 2 nutshots. Most hit the stomach/chest, and no harm done. Or I miss the person completely, that happens a lot too.

Yo anyone know how to make an angel breech or where to get one? if so, how much?
Searching would reveal everything you need to know about making one. Since I am feeling nice:Here is a really good step by step guide. As for buying one, brass is 4$ a foot on average, you need 5ft of brass for it, plus labor, so a good 30$. You would need to install it, which is the hard part. Making it is relatively easy.
Oh and read this too.

I can't wait to see this thing in action.
Props.
EDIT: I thought this was the gun that would be lent out to participants at massacre3. I watched the video, and saw it was for sputnik: You are one lucky bastard.
IMPORTANT EDIT: I would highly recommend staying away from that insta cure shit and going back to fishin glue. I got some at my not so local hobby shop to use on my angel breech. I could never get the thing to work. The nub broke off first cock every time. I used some epoxy putty on it too, but it broke off the day before HbH2, and the pieces at the end holding the 1/2 brass came loose too, so I singled it (FrankenMod) trust me, it is low quality stuff, I would really use zap a gap or fishin glue.

The Crossbow is no longer a status symbol due to the fact that they are owned by so many Goobers, myself included. I don't see myself as a great, holy angelic crusader of Nerf. I was the same way when i joined NH. I saw Vacc, and Groove, and OMC all using Xbows. The "badasses" of the site. It's just that I decided I wouldn't be one of the Goobs who blow $150+ on a blaster. I still got a Crossbow, just in a much more economical fashion.The crossbow is a status symbol, they believe it's the best because the famous nerfers have them...Either that or they assume that the most expensive blaster is also the best.
It's hard to say though, the mind of a goober is not commonly studied.
.......Wow, this thread has moved from Youtube videos to gooberology.
[derailment level 4]
I never really thought that owning a crossbow would make me great or anything. I own one, Im still not great. This is to any goober out there: I was not a good shot, I have a crossbow, I still pretty much suck. Crossbows really don't do a whole lot. I got my 2 xbows (only one of which I still have) because incredible deals came up. I did not pay more than 50$ for either bow. If one comes up for cheap, by all means, go and buy it, but do not shell out 300$ for one. Crossbows do not make you cool. Look at mulletman###. He is probably one of the most disliked members here, and he owns 3 if not 4 crossbows. It does not make you badass as gears pointed out. Paying 150$+ for a piece of plastic just makes you look stupid.
Ice: You should maybe put a video on saying that crossbows ARE NOT worth 300$. Maybe that would stop 12 year old goobers gobbling them all up, and making it so that a comitted nerfer cannot get his hands on one
Gears: I love your sig. Funny thing is, that actually happened at Massacre2.

In the future, you may want to refrain from posting in topics that are more than 2 months old, let alone 2 years. This is called Necroing, and it is bad. If you want, Pm the author of the topic.

I can see homemades becoming much more of a factor at wars, much thanks to Carbon and Rork, and CaptainSlug. SNAPs, SNAPBows, and +bows are all simple, foam shooting death cannons that will outsthoot a LS (best gun hasbro has released in 5 years, IMO). PVC will always be needed for plumbing, homemades will live on.
About the goobers that Ice and OMC were discussing: Yes, the Nstrike line and the Uin13 phenomenon have brought a lot of stupidity to the site. I think there is still hope, with a bunch of VERY good members arriving this year (Splitlip, Just Some Bob, Blacksunshine, Dizzyduck, Mr. Badwrench, Hereticorp).
I think the good outweighs the bad, and these people Im sure will make many creations that will spice up nerf wars for years to come.
PS: I think it should be noted that Ice (Uin13) posted a video on youtube a few days ago, warning underage goobers to stay away from NH. If they won't take advice from the CoC, they may take it from him. I think this is great, and Ice deserves our thanks for this.

1. ROF. Hasbro is concerned with making rapid fire guns, such as the vulcan, dtb, mav, ls, recon. They all have a relatively high ROF. If this gun were to be an air gun, it would require multiple pumps (unless the pump tube takes up 1/3 of the gun). This would not be very high ROF. Hasbro wants guns that will spew out a lot of foam in a short period of time. The 10 shot turret would accomplish this for us, but for SWAT team loving kids, it wouldn't be enough, in my opinion.
2. General motion of things: Hasbro has not made an air gun in 3 years. But still, Nerf only made springers until the Supermaxx line (feel free to correct me on that), and only made airguns for the supermaxx years. Then, they kept on making airguns for the airjet power+, and Airtech lines. Then along came the NF and Nstrike, which have, for the exception of the hornet and titan, been springers. I hope they are going to go back to airguns, because correct me if Im wrong, but there hasn't been an airgun available in stores that people completely gave up on (recon).
I would really hope that it is an air powered gun. With a pump plug, PETG barrel replacement, maybe find some way of hacking off the front of it to allow for longer barrels... (GASP)
I can see it having great potential.
Springer or not, it would be easy as pie to integrate a 2k into there. Im going to get it regardless.
EDIT: If this is a springer, I think the only good route is to convert it to an airgun. I mean, look at the size of the area behind the gun. It looks like it has a mav sized pluger tube. The pump shaft looks like it would snap under the weight of an added spring (or a plugged pump for that matter). Looks like a powerclip pump, but thinner.
The faux barrel would kill range for sure, but it is necessary for the pump action to work corrrectly. I can see AT2k internals in this baby already.
