no, but they were originally designed to be attached to the rotation mech. However, if they were, that would cause alot of tortion on the thing and would cause the blaster to shake as the rotation mech isn't constantly rotating.

Well, ever since I first saw a vulcan, I thought "this just needs a new look," so this past Wednesday, I came across one when I just so happened to have money in my wallet. Immediately when I got home, I got to work drawing up sketches for the thing, and came us with this...

If you have a QuarterMaster anywhere near where you live, you can buy wooden M1 grand and Springfield(no scope) replicas. they're the kinds used for spinning, so you probably won't have to worry about having to have a gun license. Hope this bit of info was of some help.

#206524 My Longshot?

Posted by SorrowX on 26 January 2009 - 10:12 AM in Modifications

I used 3 industrial springs in mine when I'm not using it for a war, and my boltsled is doing just fine. There isn't any visible signs of stress on it, mainly becase the bitch is reinforced with some aluminum sheet metal(cut up can and JB weld). Only things thats happened is the back of the plunger tube blew off, but thats mainly do to its age, and even then its still working fine. When I fire the thing with all 3 springs, it has a tendency to break glass. I really don't recommend it, as its really unsafe for you and others. but a LS, BBB, and an NF spring should be just fine, just check with whomever is hosting the war, because they may not like it as that much power when the springs aren't broken in yet can be quite painful.

#204165 I Have A Recon Dream...

Posted by SorrowX on 17 January 2009 - 04:06 PM in Modifications

I posted a write-up for the recon a while back. Since then, the recon broke from have too much power. I do believe recons can hit good ranges, you just better reinforce that sucker to go to hell and back. A recon that meets the expectations just... well it's doable, just not practical. You would need a vast amount of resources, those of which only slug and few others have. Just buy a longshot and angel breech it, getting a recon to get similar ranges just isn't worth the time and effort, trust us.

#202973 My Lbb Plays Music!

Posted by SorrowX on 12 January 2009 - 09:53 PM in Modifications

Damn it. now I've got to 1up you with a longshot that hooks up to my Ipod, with a camera that feeds me a real time image from directly under the barrel, and adds a 75% transparent line showing the drop over time in color.

It will play music also.

Damn, you stole my idea. Anyways, that just rocks, Redhead.

Could I get the Humming Bird into the Mod directory? It should go under Tommy 20.

EDIT: fuck, I didn't read, Damn it...

#200240 The Humming Bird

Posted by SorrowX on 01 January 2009 - 03:22 PM in Modifications

You'd think that with buying two longshots, I'd have a spare handle, but alas, I don't. I do have an M16 handle, but that's for another project. And besides, it isn't that awkward to hold, its pretty comfortable in my hand. and the phallic-ness of it just makes it that more retarded.

#200145 The Humming Bird

Posted by SorrowX on 01 January 2009 - 12:13 AM in Modifications

This is my second contribution to the NIC, I hope you all enjoy.

Materials needed:
about 3 inches of 1/2' pvc
dremel
9 volt battery
electric tape
epoxy or other adhesive( i used hot glue)

First, take apart your tommy 20 and remove the motor assembly. Now take your 1/2' pvc and cut it the same as in the diagram. Clean up your cut a bit, and glue the sucker in the middle of your T20 wheels. (make sure that the don't contact the pvc!) Now tape your battery o the pvc, and attach the wires and a switch or something else if you want, I chose to do it simpler. you could put a coupler on it and attach a hopper ish thing to it, but i choose to keep it like this.

and please hold as I get the actually picture of the tiny thing.

#183319 Recon Breech Write-up

Posted by SorrowX on 12 October 2008 - 05:29 PM in Modifications

I've got all this 1/2" K&S brass I bought since I was given the impression it could be used as a barrel material, it was also more available than the other sizes of K&S brass. I can push a tagger about 15mm in 1/2" brass before it buckles. Since I've measured tagger sizes with calipers, I take it that you guys must heatgun your foam or compress it to get it to fit.
Nice writeup for those who use 1/2" barrel too bad it doesn't take larger sized barrels. Are there accurate measurement of ranges for this mod yet?

Yes, actually. average ranges are 73 ft flat. It might appear different for others, but my testing range is indoors, and the only problem is that it occasionally clips the tail of the dart. 1/2" brass makes good breech material, not good barrel material(unless you have a super soaker nerf gun).

#182642 Recon Breech Write-up

Posted by SorrowX on 09 October 2008 - 04:18 PM in Modifications

1/2" brass is the outer diameter of the brass tube, so if a tagger is 1/2" in diameter how is meant to fit into a hole with a diameter less than 1/2"?

Also in Angel's breech mod he explicitly states the 1/2" brass is to push the dart forward from the breech into the 19/32" brass barrel (with tightenging rings). I have 30 taggers and 3 x 12" lengths of 1/2" brass tube and none of them fit, actually none of my darts will fit 1/2" brass tube, even my 10mm FBR won't slide into a 1/2" brass tube. Using vernier calipers, foam from regular 30pack of nerf dart taggers are 0.4830" and I.D. of 1/2" brass is 0.4710". Explain yourself.

All of the breeches I make for my guns use 1/2" brass, it seems to work just fine, as far as I can tell. its a very tight fit, I understand, and the main reason i use 1/2" brass as the main breech is because I have a hard time finding 9/16" brass in any hobby shop or hardware shop that sells K&S Brass. Also, the main reason I prefer 1/2" brass is because it holds in the dart really well, which allows more pressure to build up before the dart exits the breech and continues into the barrel. It also nullifies the need for tightening rings, but you could have them on anyways. Ask Falcon, or anyone else in so-cal that designs and makes their own breech for primaries, and the majority of us will admit to using 1/2" brass. Plus, 17/32" brass can't be jammed into the recon stock breech that well without sanding down the inside.

#182324 Recon Breech Write-up

Posted by SorrowX on 07 October 2008 - 11:24 PM in Modifications

Wait a sec, how are you getting CDTS's to shoot out of 1/2" brass?

its pretty much a stefan made with the foam of a tagger dart. it fits just fine.

#182318 Recon Breech Write-up

Posted by SorrowX on 07 October 2008 - 11:07 PM in Modifications

I didn't have time to accurately measure ranges before I had to return it to my friend who asked me to mod it, but by estimating, it got about 85-90 ft. flat with a cdtd...

Get out your tape measure and start counting. No one will believe a Recon that gets 85ft without the internals being replaced with a AT2k.

each mod works in conjunction with each other. without the spring in the stock, range is dead by so much.

#182304 Recon Breech Write-up

Posted by SorrowX on 07 October 2008 - 10:31 PM in Modifications

Hello NIC,as many of you know, this is my first write-up, so please go easy on me.

This write-up is for the Recon CS6, and will hopefully provide a standard mod for this blaster. This mod requires basic-moderate modding experience.

Materials Required:
1/2' brass
17/32' brass
9/16' brass
19/32' brass
5/8' brass
Plumber's Goop or other adhesive(your going to need to have one that at least similar consistantcy)

It is recommended you do the following mods first:
http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=10472
http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=10498
http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=10436
http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=10444

Now, on to the goods.

remove your dart tooth and clip lock. you wont be needing them. See those screws under the bolt sled? take them out and take out whats inside that little box. you wont be needing these either.

Now its time to get to the main part. Take your 1/2' brass and cut it down the middle about 3.5 inches. Mine isn't that long, i know, i screwed up. when your done cutting, clean up the cut that way the dart will be undamaged. now shove the uncut end into the breech. make a mark and measure. DO NOT CUT THIS MARK! from the front where the halfway cut ends, cut the distance from there, but leave some room.

Now coat the end of the brass in goop and shove it into the stock breech as far at it can go.while we let that sit, we work on the other end of the breech.

this is the part where my camera died, so your going to have to work off of words from here until i get some pictures. Take a 6 inch section of 17/32' brass and put it into a 2 inch section of 9/16' brass with about 2 inches of nothing but 17/32' brass and keep it that way. now take this and stick it into a 4.5 inch section of 19/32' brass.now take that heavy thing and stick it into your 5/8' brass. now the the end with the 17/32' brass exposed and put it in the stock breech receiver. it didn't work out too well by itself, so i ended up permanently attaching the barrel extension to the receiver and gooping it into that. Make sure that the breech fully closes into the receiver before gooping. this is critical, and It absolutely sucks that I have no picture to show you how to do this. Let the goop dry, then assemble your new weapon and be amazed by its weight. Then be amazed by its ranges.

I didn't have time to accurately measure ranges before I had to return it to my friend who asked me to mod it, but by estimating, it got about 85-90 ft. flat with a cdtd. I really don't know how accurate those estimates are, so don't trust your judgment on that. this is my first write-up, so of course there is bound to be errors.

#180745 Angel Breech On A Recon

Posted by SorrowX on 01 October 2008 - 12:40 AM in Modifications

I've finished mine, but it isn't really an angel breech. It made my Recon get about 75-80 flat, which is pretty amazing for me. I'll have a writeup in the next week or so.(alot easier than angel breech-recon style, mind you)

Yeah, you did miss a good war. I have a question though, I have all these pictures from the war, and the only way I know who to upload them is through photobucket, and I don't want to up[load them individually, Is there a way to do them all at once?

#178572 Fall 'geddon 2008 - Recap Thread

Posted by SorrowX on 21 September 2008 - 03:54 AM in Nerf Wars

Oh yes, crossbow+sword+nitefinder combo rocks. By the end of the day, i probably had more that 25 hits with the sword alone. In the video, I kinda scared myself watching how well I pulled that off(getting the sword out of my shirt with Effeminate awsomeness, for me)
this war was awesome.
Pros:
- Going nuts and rushing with a crossbow and a sword and seeing everyone run in fear(which is quite satisfying, actually)
- Seeing my crossbow do well in its first war
- the totally Effeminate turnout
- getting Falcon in the jewels a few times(Really, i don't mean to aim there)
- bouncing a ball with my sword and getting a hit on someone with it
- new parts that would have been otherwise hard to get my hands on(thanks a bunch, guys)
- seeing my friend run around in not only a paintball mask but an optimus prime mask too
- and i'll edit anything in later

Cons:
- having my LS break the night before the war(still got some good ranges with a cracked plunger tube, amazingly)
- getting shot in the face with a crossbow at point blank range
- leaving a total of 52 taggers upon discovering the time
- getting my hand cut up by someone's LS
- Leaving the bandanna I got from Bags' at the june 14th nano back at cullens( i think its by the dumpsters)
- getting lost on the way home and having to use a map from 1991(Hey, it said updated edition) to get home.
- forgetting a ton of stuff at home and on site

Also Bags', before I left I put your bungees into the ark, just to let you know. And hopefully many of you can make it to Halloweeno '08, because if you like cullens and ole hammer, you are going to love smith-murphy and beatty.

this is also posted up on the SCUN Network, for those who don't know.

Standard rules apply, eye protection required for all. tree climbing is allowed. well that's about it, for now. I'll add anything as it comes to mind, enjoy.

UPDATE:there is going to be a few specialty matches, such as Slayer, Ambush, Duels. Slayer is a free-for-all match, no teams. Ambush is one team sets up in hidden positions while the other team looks for them, and tries to survive. Duels is a melee only match, so brings some swords and pikes and axes(foam tips only) I have about 7 melee weapons, anyone can borrow if they need to. I'm really looking forward to this, as its my first(non canceled/postponed) war.

flashlights are asked, and will also be lent out at the time of the war. as for not knowing much, i don't think its much of a problem, as I'm pretty sure if you asked any nerfer or myself could provide a phone for any emergency contact. flashlights are rated, and if it isn't powerful enough or too powerful, we could work out something. as for the forbidden valley writeup, I'm not sure when I'm getting some money for more brass and another longshot(the one planned for the writeup ended up getting crushed in the earthquake that happened over the summer. :cry:

) I was lucky enough that the real Forbidden Valley was well situated inside Its case.

Hey, I'm new to the site. I've stalked you guys since pre-vulcan launch and I like it here. I just wanted to ask if there was a way to strip the paint off of my recon without ruining the detail of it? I'll send pics when I get some time... Off to work! >.<

Paint thinner or acetone. With acetone however, make sure its just the shell your working on or any adhesives that come in contact with the acetone will start to come apart.

Only two breeches out there(that I know Of, Anyways) that won't clip the tail of your darts are the Angel Breech, which is fairly complicated, and my own little design, the Sorrow Breech. just like the Angel Breech, its airtight, but the main difference is this one: its very simple to make. I'll have the Write up for it soon, so if you can be patient enough, it will be available.

Everybody, this is Forbidden Valley, My pride and joy. she was my first longshot, bought when it first came out, and I spent many months of research, planning and work into her, as she is my primary of choice. And yes, Those are dart holders and a bayonet. she get excess of 120 feet flat with taggers(yes, thats right, tagger darts) and i can even use the stock scope and it will work fine with its amount of accuracy.
