#247550 Dartsmithing Tips Archive

Posted by umpshaplapa on 18 August 2009 - 08:29 PM in Darts and Barrels

I'm tired of mile high foam being destroyed in 2 seconds. What FBR is out there that has a Snug fit in PETG? I looked at swiftnerf's foam, and it seemed to expensive for me.

#217009 Longshot Bolt Breakage

Posted by umpshaplapa on 08 March 2009 - 08:27 PM in Modifications

ok just fallow ice's singled mod i think it's awesome and it would make your mod look and act more like a loser

So added that hilarious quote to my signature, while playing with my butthole!



#218312 My Homemade Battle Stop-sign

Posted by umpshaplapa on 16 March 2009 - 06:36 PM in Off Topic

How do these stand up to high powered darts?



#208602 Season Of Foam Trip Map

Posted by umpshaplapa on 01 February 2009 - 12:53 PM in Nerf Wars

Lookin' forward to that Georgia humidity in august? I'll most likely make it to the augusta war.



#216394 Air Zone Arrow Storm

Posted by umpshaplapa on 04 March 2009 - 11:19 PM in Modifications

you still having problems wiht advancing?

Posted Image

that part is upside down, the spring goes on the bottom NOT the top so flip it over

Can you show how it should look? I'm a mess.



#216398 Air Zone Arrow Storm

Posted by umpshaplapa on 04 March 2009 - 11:23 PM in Modifications

Sorry, I was being stupid. Now I'm just having the same issue you were. My turret is over rotating, and yes I did the fix the bad wrench described. I'll mess with it some more and come back if I can't figure it out.



#216392 Air Zone Arrow Storm

Posted by umpshaplapa on 04 March 2009 - 11:17 PM in Modifications

Can I have a picture of where the 2 small blue pieces go inside of the gun? They fell out and I don't know where to put them.



#217191 Air Zone Arrow Storm

Posted by umpshaplapa on 09 March 2009 - 06:57 PM in Modifications

Sorry Coop, I just mean poking the stefan into the tube/barrel with a pole-like tool (a pen/straw/chopstick/etc)
^_^

He means ram-rodding. I was having trouble with my gun vacum loading my darts. I just glued a peice of wire across the plunger tube opening. Another thing I would suggest doing is filling the giant gap in the plunger head with hot glue. Cut down on that dead space.



#253665 Airtech 3000 Overhaul

Posted by umpshaplapa on 16 October 2009 - 12:05 PM in Modifications

What paint is that? It looks AMAZING! That 3k is a beast dude, I need to go do that.

Jet grind radio for the dream cast.



#239905 N-strike Clipped Pas

Posted by umpshaplapa on 02 July 2009 - 09:31 PM in Modifications

Thanks, this is the first PJ I haven't fucked up. I'm pretty damn bad at cosmetics, so this turning out well was a miracle on its own.

Haha, I know how you feel. I do pretty much the same thing as you. Two colors, only taping nice smooth lines.

This mod is fucking ridiculous! Major props on actually completing it! The metal connecting the priming handle to the "BCN" looks like it could bend. I know that the forces on it aren't actually that strong, since your pulling on it when priming the gun, but does it feel sturdy enough?



#270198 Extreme Nite Finder Modification

Posted by umpshaplapa on 24 March 2010 - 02:55 PM in Modifications

How does the Nite Finder plunger tube stay in place? Did you epoxy it to a side of the shell?



#201651 Magnificent 7

Posted by umpshaplapa on 07 January 2009 - 03:48 PM in General Nerf

Would Doomsayers with less than 3 springs be o.k.?



#219584 Pointblank Titan

Posted by umpshaplapa on 24 March 2009 - 12:28 AM in Modifications

Chuck Norris doesn't go hunting, hunting has a chance of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

Chuck Norris never retreats, he just attacks in the other direction.

Where did you get that pump? I didn't know that they were so expensive.



#195127 Fall Seno

Posted by umpshaplapa on 10 December 2008 - 12:10 AM in Nerf Wars

Some stuff in school have come up with me. It looks like I probably won't be making it. If by some miracle I do though, I'll be bringing to peeps. And not the marshmallow kind.



#214169 Alrighty. Here's Some Stuff To Look At.

Never mind.



#214580 Alrighty. Here's Some Stuff To Look At.

IMPORTANT! look at the bottom picture and read the box "includes two 10 dart pump action blasting" so it is air powered I knew it
[/quote]
A doomsayer is also pump action. The term had nothing to do with a pump as you're thinking of. If anything it probably makes it less likely to be air powered, even if it looks it.



#258452 Superlative Snap Plunger Head

Posted by umpshaplapa on 08 December 2009 - 09:18 PM in Homemades

Would the wing-nut slamming into the front of your plunger tube eventually become a problem?



#207102 Rapid Fire Shotgun Mod

Posted by umpshaplapa on 27 January 2009 - 11:51 PM in Modifications

I use bushings instead of couplers because it puts your barrel closer to the air source. It would provide a marginal range improvement probably.



#200793 The Nerf Schofield

Posted by umpshaplapa on 03 January 2009 - 10:28 AM in Homemades

You must have some godly dart fit to get that range from that plunger.

Basic Idea. Sorry it's crappy, taking a break from my lab report, so i had to rush.

Top one is the outside view.
Opening the valve (pressing the brass stud in this case) reduced the pressure in the small chamber, so then the air pushes the piston back, opening up the barrel, so the air rushes out.

How does the air go from the smaller tank into the larger outer tank?



#223295 One Pump At3k

Posted by umpshaplapa on 12 April 2009 - 08:35 PM in Modifications

Why would plugging the pump make you pump more times?



#223310 One Pump At3k

Posted by umpshaplapa on 12 April 2009 - 09:36 PM in Modifications

Why would plugging the pump make you pump more times?


I'm guessing, Because it can hold more air, and doesn't stop at a certain pressure.

I think it would stop at a certain pressure if you DIDN'T plug the pump.



#223319 One Pump At3k

Exactly my point! It DOES stop filling the tank when you DON'T plug the pump. You can keep pumping, and pumping till your tiny arm can't take it anymore, but it's not putting air in the tank after a few pumps, or one if you did this mod, if it's not plugged. When it IS plugged, you will have to pump more than once, because the tank will take air until it blows.

But you should be able to get the same amount of air in on the same number of pumps. I thought he was saying multiple pumps for the same amount of air.



#222484 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 08 April 2009 - 08:27 PM in Nerf Wars

Wildo has to be back for Easter, so I would need to know if it's on sunday either today or tomorrow, sense I'm leaving on Friday.



#222914 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 10 April 2009 - 10:19 PM in Nerf Wars

Can anybody bring a spring that could be used as a catch spring on my guest's ttg?



#222477 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 08 April 2009 - 08:17 PM in Nerf Wars

Mes culasses sont le meilleur, vous peuvent ne jamais m'assortir.

I really hope that isn't Spanish or I've been paying even less attention than I thought.

Hate to open this again, but weather.com says there is a 40% chance of rain. Is there any way we could move the back up date back about 2 weeks? I probably wouldn't be able to make it unless it's moved.



#221154 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 01 April 2009 - 09:20 PM in Nerf Wars

Fuck. I'll ask my dad when the next possible date would be.

EDIT- My dad says the 2nd, 9th, and 23rd of May would work.



#221168 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 01 April 2009 - 09:49 PM in Nerf Wars

WHAT?!?!

Well...what about the Saturday after the 11th? Or even the 12th?!

I can't go the week after the 11th, and I look pretty doubtful the week after that. The only chance would be wildo's mom driving us down there. I'll ask him about it.



#219833 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 25 March 2009 - 07:02 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm 90% sure I'm gonna make it. I have about 40 darts right now, and about 4 fishing weights.
I MUST finish my doomsayer by this war!

Cool, I will get to see how a K9 special does against a doomsayer. So would that be a definite?

I'm pretty positive I'm gonna make it. If you mean my doomsayer, all I have left is the rotation mech and the turret to plunger tube seal. Unless something unforeseen happens...

I'm looking more likely to be gettin' down there. All my guns are just getting finished too!



#221197 South East Tune-up War

False alarm 20% chance of rain with a High 75 and a low of 51.

#221289 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 02 April 2009 - 05:52 PM in Nerf Wars

Is this generally the same thing as wherever you get your predictions from?



#222273 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 07 April 2009 - 08:01 PM in Nerf Wars

Sweet.

Is anyone going to bring any other guns to sell/trade?

I got:
17/32 brass barrel nested in pvc
17/32 brass breech
LS clip

About the weather the place I get it from still says 10% chance of rain.

Where do you get your weather from?

Lunch: Veggy, any update from your dad?

Yeah he is bringing out the grill for some hamburgers. Any special alllergies I should tell him about?

Soy and Shrimp. And a shit ton of other things but those don't matter unless you rub trees and bushes on your burgers.
The ArrowStorm is the new AirZone one by the way.

#222333 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 07 April 2009 - 11:35 PM in Nerf Wars

Forgot to say, Me and Wildo might have to leave a little early, as we have to drive back to Atlanta that night.
Also, I finally got me a 1500. Those brass barrels are getting gooped onto the turret as I type this.
