Yeah, looks like it works like the Chainblazer / Rototrack then.
Except the hawt alternating dual barrel system. That's fun, wonder if you could replace the spring and get some sort of respectable range out of it... maybe short CPVC 1/2" barrel replacements like you'd do in an old school Nerf chain?

Sounds more like a Chainblazer / Rototrack to me... is there a spring that powers it or is it pnuematic? Orange?Instead of their being a trigger, you just pull the handle back to fire, then push it forward to rotate the barrels and reprime the gun.

You can just put a dab of hot glue in those 2 spots (one on each side of the case) it works just as well as putting a piece of plastic in there. When hot glue hardens, it's practically plastic anyways. It's just to hold the trigger on an axis so you can depress it enough to fire the gun. Definately make sure the cocking arm is down when you pull the trigger though...
Reinforcing any part of that beast is gonna be a full scale effort. The plunger tube is often the first part to break, as the spring pulverizes it with the pounding it recieves. Sometimes the gun just explodes and breaks in half, but I'm not sure how you'd prevent such a catastrophe. Enjoy your MS (Magstrike doesn't deserve the title, it's a PC remake dammit).

Thanks for the feedback, fellows.
Not planning on selling anything (yet) but I'll probably sell to the Minnesota fellows first because I hate shipping and other extraneous efforts like getting an eBay sellers license. Well, my roommate finally decided to throw this un-edited video on Google so that's why I'm posting, there's other things I'd like to share but we'll see if I get around to it.
P.S. Pulsators melt faces, I have like 4.

I've heard great stuff about Lawrence from my cousin, and also about Steven's Point from some good friends. Saint Mary's in Winona has a very good music production program, best one for a Minnesota college I believe. U of M is a good school, anyone who goes there and is ready for a big city rush will enjoy it... but as far as small state schools go, Winona is the best I've found and a great value.
I don't know what I want to do when I graduate, I still have rock star aspirations... great music by the way, Kirby. Hopefully I can catch you guys performing sometime.

There are a few guys here who would be interested, but not many serious modders or aficionados. I know that about 30 guys on my floor bought old model Nite Finders ($4 at Fleet Farm, woot!) to play Assassins with, but I'm not sure what sort of "war" I could scrap together. My major is Communication Studies with a Music minor. The campus is top notch, best I've found in Minnesota. Saint Mary's is a great school; a bit expensive, but to be honest I was hoping eventually I would take some classes over there.Jangadance, do you have fellow nerfers in Winona?

I'm finally moving into a house near campus this summer, I think I'll leave the majority of my Nerf stuff at my parents' place in Minneapolis though.
I go to www.winona.edu a Minnesota State college. It's a really great, small college town 2 hours south on the Mississippi. Literally, it's so close to Wisconsin that when I go running I run the bridge to Wisconsin and back. And on the back side of campus, there are these beautiful bluffs... hiking and climbing is a blast. Winona's biggest programs are Teaching and Nursing (Mayo Clinic in Rochester is about 30-45 mins away). Most importantly, it's about a 30/70 ratio of guys to girls.

ALL the Supermaxx 3000's have wide pumps (which gives them too much surface area for the air pressure to push against) and weak pump handles. This blue version is possibly the worst case of this, but it is commonly agreed that Yellow > Blue > Green. If you don't know the difference, check out the Nerf Center reviews page.
Anyways, doesn't it say Supermaxx 3000 on the sticker on the yellow faux air tank?

Nice double post.
No one mods the Ultimator to shoot smaller darts because that's not what the Ultimator is for... you use it if you want your enemies to think "wtf who just threw a shoe at me?" (GunnedDown) The ammo size is the key ingredient, not to mention the badass feel of the thing.
The Maximizer (little brother of the Mattel Ultimator) also used a racheting cocking system that was copied for use on the Max Shot. Interestingly, the Mattel blasters were the only 2 that I can think of that used an expansion spring rather than a compression spring to power it.
edit: just buy a $7 Super Soaker if you want to have to "pump" a big powerful gun to prime it. Just to satiate your curiosity, you could use a series of coupler reductors to fit PVC over the barrel. No, you CANNOT cut down the Ultimator barrel at all. The expansion spring stretches all the way from the tip of the barrel.

*Bzzzz* Definately an XP 105.
I don't know why people feel the need to wrap everything in tape, especially so unevenly. I'd almost rather see the holes that the water tanks used to attach to. Or, try cleanly salvaging plastic (with a dremel) from a different project and hot gluing it on. I do like the general SHAPE of the gun however.

Next you'll need to coax even decent spring-pistol range out of that sucker, then I'll be pleased.
The Sawtooth has a small plunger tube and poor seals, not to mention the spring is mediocre at best. I hope you're getting good performance from it now, it looks good and the larger clip would make it more useful in battle.

The Bondo that I use is mostly for repairing fiberglass, such as with autobody and snowboards. I've used it already for both of these, but it has universal applications. Its consistency is gloopy like peanut butter. I know it's real easy to apply, mold and sand and I've used it to seal holes cut in blaster cases from modding. I recommend it if you want a fairly cheap, simple product and you don't mind spending some time perfecting it.

Wing Commander was the game that opened up my eyes to the wonders of non-console gaming. Although it felt like the only other thing out those days was the NES, I didn't realize I could enjoy a PC game so much. I don't remember the SNES port being very good, and I would have a hard time trying to get the old WC to run on these new computers. Good luck though, if you find a source post it. You could always buy it on eBay for a couple bucks.

How can you aim at all with an opaque tower of darts right in front of your line of site?
It's even with the top of the blaster... you don't need to use the sights to aim a BBB anyhow.
I really like this mod, it was something I wanted to work on for my BBB - the brass of course is essential because it has such a thin wall size so that after 1 dart drops in, the bolt closes over the brass and seals it without pinching the next dart. I agree with Suave though, this general concept was working 3 years ago or so with the original release of the BBB... except that person was using a crude system of PVC and wooden rails attached to the back handle I think. Sending the metal rod into the internals to attach to the piece that moves was a great idea, probably the single thing I'm impressed most with if this works. Why did you say "use music wire in the future", PissBacon? Great work again. I too would like to see how durable this is when it all dries, range test it, and see a video of the mechanisms.
