Glad to see that your goal of machined, printed, and cast options being possible has been completed. Is this it for the project, or should we expect to see even more progress?
Also, quick question, how long is the prime on this beast? I want to compare it to my current project.

I use ebay and look up nerf lots and sort for cheapest first. Usually they are selling several 7 to 90 dollar items for around 30 to 90+ dollars. Ive gotten 2 stampedes and a rapidstrike for only 50 bucks from one lot.

Bubba: it's hard to show 3d in Ms paint 
yes there would be a guide box around the wedge.
Jwasko: space is a major factor in the project I'm working on, so a lever wouldn't work. (Trying to make the xbz be fired on a keyring Infront of the main trigger)

So, i have been thinking about this for a bit now: can we make a way for the xbz to be fired on a pulling motion, not a push of the button. I came up with this, but havent made it yet.
Blue = xbz
Black = blast button
Orange = body of mechanism
Green = tension spring (V.Small)
There is a sliding wedge with a return spring on one end. You would pull on the non spring side with a piece of wire attached to a trigger, which would slide the wedge over the blast button, firing the xbz. One problem: i dont have materials to test this, so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could do a prototype of this for me. I just need some quick input as to if the design works as it should in reality. Thanks!
Edit: please forgive my magnificent MS paint skills.

So for one of my entries in the 2017 mod contest i need a spring longer and not too much wider or skinnier then a [k26], with just as much power behind it. I dont think i would be able to spring-merge two pieces of [k26] together, as i dont have acess to high strength adhesives or welding.
So, anyone know of any long [k26]-like springs available?

Who needs a secondary when you have a full poweclip DX in a holster. If you have a sensitive enough trigger finger, you can do 3-4 round bursts, and if you wanted to, you can mape it rain darts in a pinch.

1: why
2: you could make a floating piston inside a piece of pipe with 2 or 3 slots cut in the end for the planes wings to poke through, then the piston pushes the plane when filled with air from firing.

Oh, also: How it's Made (the show, watch on YouTube) has some fascinating machinery and production lines that probably have parts that would apply to this project. One I saw was a conveyer that moved cans and appeared to consist of simply 6 metal rods - one for each end and two for each of the sides. That'd be easier to build into whatever shape needed and probably lower friction than machining solid materials to shape.
Small problem: those use electric motors, chains, sh!t loads of power (over time), and are heavier then...well...something really heavy.

What about a mag shaped like a U, with a drum style pusher mech so it can go around the curve?
You could take flat plastic sheets, make the 2 stick pieces of the U, then bend some more sheet or 3d print a addapter for the curve.
Or you could take 2 18 mags and chop off the bottom of one, slap on a printed adapter for the curve, then chop off the top of the other mag and put that side into the other end of the curve adapter.

Overall: This idea was doomed to fail from the start, it is worse then all current designs, and it would be very VERY dangerous. It was just a bad idea that no one asked for. And even if it is made, it will underperform without a doubt.

So I have a really quick question. Does it still qualify as a mod if only the handle and airtank are used, but, say, theres a long arm sticking out of the blaster?
Ex: Say theres a strongarm with a piece of pvc sticking out the front with an airtank slapped on the front of the pipe, with all the orginal strongarm internals removed completely?
(Planning for the mod contest(hey where is the offical upload post for that?))
Edit: Grammar.

And make sure the break lines are aligned perfectly. But if the port is split in two, like a hotdog in a microwave, then you cant really do anything. (By this I mean if the port itself split in half)

Acetone vapor polishing is for turning a rough surface into a glossier smoother finish. You won't be able to apply that technique selectively so it would smooth out your entire blaster.
Sorry, i just meant the rough edge of the cut, like if your doing, say, a guru, and you want to clean up the crossbow cut you had to do.
