#220082 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 26 March 2009 - 10:23 PM in Nerf Wars

Somebody said earlier that most of y'alls darts dont fit CPVC or 17/32. What size do they fit? Just seeing if they would be pick-upable mid round.



#219858 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 25 March 2009 - 09:01 PM in Nerf Wars

Nerkum, I can't see what part of the yellow turret piece you used. Can you explain?



#219844 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 25 March 2009 - 07:56 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...

Actually I meant you coming but thats good to. Be warned, the rotation mech is the hardest part to get right.

I know. I fucked up my last one and had to buy another. I didn't realize this BEFORE I had gooped my barrels on. I ripped that shit off.

We use PETG and 9/16 brass.

Oh and Hawksh0t told me he was unable to attend so that leaves 6 maybes.

Cool. That's what I'm using now.



#220213 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 27 March 2009 - 11:13 PM in Nerf Wars

What would you suggest using in the portables? Were you thinking like AT2K or DTB?
EDIT- Just got 200 wishing weights and 1500 BB's from wal mart. I have a date with my glue gun.



#220308 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 28 March 2009 - 03:33 PM in Nerf Wars

There is a possibility that I can bring a freind. I have to stop destroying my darts...



#220246 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 28 March 2009 - 08:42 AM in Nerf Wars

That guest is looking like he's coming with me. I don't know why he doesn't say it himself. He has a NH account...



#218733 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 19 March 2009 - 12:16 AM in Nerf Wars

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



#220656 South East Tune-up War

Posted by umpshaplapa on 30 March 2009 - 07:12 AM in Nerf Wars

There is some nice hotels within 2 minutes of our venue.

Cool! My dad was just asking about that.

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



#214604 Homemade Blast Button

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?



#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.

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.

#254576 When Do Nerf Blasters Become Too Powerful?

Posted by umpshaplapa on 26 October 2009 - 12:17 AM in Homemades

I agree with Bob. I haven't been to a war where someone has no fun all day.

I think the only time a blaster should be banned is if it's unsafe. Or if a large amount of people are complaining that the user is "too good" with it.

My maxshot has trouble catching. Does anyone else have this problem? And how can you fix it?



#238845 How To Integrate A Firefly Turret

Posted by umpshaplapa on 26 June 2009 - 11:09 PM in Modifications

It auto-aligns due to the rotation mech right? I think you need to take a break from modding for a bit man. Creating so much awesomeness in such a short time can't be healthy.



#230179 Brit's Paint Tutorial

Posted by umpshaplapa on 14 May 2009 - 03:41 PM in Modifications

I have a tip on spray paint.
If you suck at hand painting like me, and are trying to tape a non-straight line, put the tape comepltely covering the edge of where you're trying to paint. Then, press down hard until you can see the lines in the shell again. Take out a razor knife and gently cut along the lines that you see.
It worked beautifully on my LS/titan.



#237060 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by umpshaplapa on 18 June 2009 - 01:04 AM in Nerf Wars

I was actually wondering if we could move it back a weekend. Or maybe just a couple of days.



#229716 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by umpshaplapa on 11 May 2009 - 10:04 PM in Nerf Wars

You know the 3rd is a Monday right?


And?

My dad says he couldn't take me on that day because it's a work day. He has a job and all...



#237435 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by umpshaplapa on 19 June 2009 - 03:06 PM in Nerf Wars

#229038 Season Of Foam - Augusta

Posted by umpshaplapa on 08 May 2009 - 04:51 PM in Nerf Wars

I don't see why me and Wildo won't make it. I have to check with the 'rents though before I'm 100%

Posted by umpshaplapa on 12 September 2010 - 06:07 PM in Nerf Wars

Sorry 'bout my guest y'all.

STUFF:
-My darts actually working in my 1500 for once!...until the heat killed the glue on the pump.
-Rockin' the SNAP all day, got a few comments on my accuracy with that thing.
-Chicken still using his BBB, I'll never understand it.
-Duals with Rouge and that sucky LS.
-Nerkum showing up to another war with that awesome hellcannon.
-Kade and the other TN nerfers.
-Team T-bow is beast.
-I actually want to finish my LS now.
-Damn ants, my back is so itchy today.
-That drive back was intense. Crazy hard rain.
-Cory and Nerfomania were awesome.
-Me and Cory sprinting across the field...4 times.
-I was dodgin' like a ninja out there.
-Discovering a welt from the Pumpsnap when I got home. I need to do that to mine.
-Carpe was the most tiring thing ever.
-"Have you seen his mad bowstaff skills?!?!"
-I finally figured out the problem with my hopper.

That's not all, but I can't think of anymore right now. We need to have wars more often.



#280648 Septembwar

Posted by umpshaplapa on 18 July 2010 - 10:31 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll most likely be able to come. If my parents don't feel like taking me, anyone wanna carpool?



#285198 Septembwar

Posted by umpshaplapa on 09 September 2010 - 09:22 PM in Nerf Wars

Sounds like I'm gonna be slavin' over a hot glue gun then.



#285236 Septembwar

Posted by umpshaplapa on 10 September 2010 - 03:57 PM in Nerf Wars

Hey, Rork....got a pistol? In case mine doesn't come together tonight.

nicks music on the way there and back..... (still indifferent on this one)
p.s. Thanks for the picks chicken!

You know you loved Dubstep.
Remembered a few more things.
-The most Effeminate "breech clearing" ever.
-Getting back to back foot shots. Rouge saw me smile.
-Poptart actually hitting me with a tagger dart.

We REALLY need to find a location over here in ATL. The parks by me are too populated!

#218193 Longshot Breakthough (takes Stress Of The Boltsled) (writeup's Up)

Posted by umpshaplapa on 15 March 2009 - 11:18 PM in Modifications

If you want strong glue try wood working stores. There's one near me and I found some strong shit there. Just try to find the purest C.A. adhesive they have. I've glued my dremel sanding bit back together with it and it's never broken again.
The glue I got is "99.5% pure"



#217687 Longshot Breakthough (takes Stress Of The Boltsled) (writeup's Up)

Posted by umpshaplapa on 12 March 2009 - 06:46 PM in Modifications

Is it really that big a deal? I've never had a bolt sled snap on me. Of course I don't use crazy powerful springs.



#224373 Lanard 2009

Posted by umpshaplapa on 19 April 2009 - 02:41 PM in General Nerf

It looks like the stock is removable to me. The shotguns look the same except one has a big turret on the front.



#219266 Lanard 2009

Posted by umpshaplapa on 22 March 2009 - 03:18 PM in General Nerf

The stocks on the shot guns look very similar as some used in air soft.

#248049 Barrel Spacer Templates

Posted by umpshaplapa on 21 August 2009 - 10:20 PM in Homemades

I know the dimension. I just wanted to know if there is some special drill bit you could use for .572. it's a iittle bigger than a 9/16" drill bit, and a little smaller than 19/32. However, I've never seen a drill bit that big come in increments smaller than 1/16.

I believe he said he used a 9/16" bit and then just carefully filed it out until it fit.



#268224 Snapbow Mk. V

Posted by umpshaplapa on 06 March 2010 - 09:30 AM in Homemades

Start with a length of 1/2" PVC. Glue it on with your adhesive of choice. The large amount of contact area means that the glue joint will be very strong.

So enough length makes it work? Good show, I've tried connecting things in that fashion, and never had it hold worth a damn (apparently because I used 2" or less segments.)

Did you sand the connecting areas flat at all to increase surface contact, and how much strength test have you given it?

It should be even stronger than the stock, which is really strong. I have a SNAP rork made, and I pushed as hard as I could and the stock didn't budge.

...as a particular integration required.

Uh oh...Jobar time.
