I'm there, I might be packing 2 guests this time around.

Assault was crazy, my primary worked after all, and Hal was awesome, thanks everyone, I had a blast.

Great work, at first site I thought you had simply slapped two recons together, but everything came out so nicely, and the raider is fantastic as well.

Nice, I've seen people make say 5 other shells, but your setup could make a shotgunned blaster a very worthwhile primary, one question though: Have you thought of sandwiching the gaps in craft foam?

Hi folks, hippo here with an overview (not a writeup) posted on NHQ and FU that was requested by someone here, It has now been reworked quite a bit, but It served me quite well at BAFF 5, and will be seeing more action at BAFF 6. On a side note, I apologize to those who were expecting a writeup and just wanted to make that clear, enjoy:


Materials:
>1 Longshot
>PVC of preferred length
>1 Airzone arrow or similar material
>Hot Glue
>An extra catch spring
>1 NF spring
>1 NF plunger rod

Part 1, the Priming mech and springs:



Okay, I set this up like a classic springer, and since PVC can't fit in a Longshot's plunger tube, I had to make it a pullback. I slapped on a NF spring, and made appropriate reinforcements, as long as I don't prime it too fast, It doesn't go off.

Part 2, the barrel:



I'm a sucker for accuracy, so I decided to chamber my signature blaster with my ammo of choice, mega stefans. So with this in mind, it's dead accurate at close range, Nerf is a fast, close range sport, so accuracy is key. Sloppy minimization's on the front were made to accommodate the PVC's length.

Part 3, the seal and barrel connection:



Since PVC doesn't fit onto a longshot's plunger tube effectively, I sliced a hollow portion of an air zone arrow off, and used the piece to support the PVC, It worked quite nicely, I also padded the plunger tube.

Part 4, other aspects:

I wanted my signature blaster to be personal and unique, and after feeling a jolt of patriotism from my quarter of Polish-ness, I slapped a Polish flag on the side, and dubbed it the most outrageous and unpronounceable Polish/Slavic name I could think of: Zbigniew, those who attended BAFF 5 will saw this guy in CTF and Zombies, It was quite reliable.

Fantastic, I love how it doesn't just ramble about reverse plungers, and nods to the NIC.

Excellent work rogue, I think the deploy might see more use than it's reverse plunger tube brothers, it's more compact, and seems much more user friendly, how would you rate the blaster for comfort and durability?

Doom - Thanks for the link to that site. It looks like they have a lot of different sizes of latex tubing. I think my Powerclip bladders are in pretty good shape now, but at least I know that I can buy tubing to replace them.

Hippopotamus - Are you talking about the kind of liquid latex that is used for the grips on tools, such as the handles of pliers?

Liquid latex as in the kind that one would use to make molds, and can be bought as a powder.

You could try carefully applying DIY latex/liquid latex to the tank, being careful not to get any on the pin or valve, but it should effectively seal most leaks around the body of the tank.

Nice work, it looks very functional, one question: Is your double priming bar reinforced much? I've been wanting to get my hands on a furyfire for a while, but have been rather lazy thanks to my preoccupation on 40k.

Hi folks, It's hippo here, and I'm gonna kick my membership off with some mods:



Here's my current primary, at this stage it was minimized, pullback, had a NF spring addition, and a PVC barrel chambered for mega's, it is now minimized further and sports a PVC coupler.



This is an older picture of my SupaSplat, which now features a paintjob, and sports a CPVC barrel. Since this image has been taken, it's range has degraded, but it served me well at BAFF 4 and 5.



This is my PPK'd diskshot, it now features a stubby CPVC barrel as opposed to the stock SupaSplat barrel it has in the image, it's pretty inaccurate, and has a NF spring added as well.



This has been passed on to my guest, who has used it at BAFF 4 and 5, it's crayola'd and sports a crude acrylic paintjob.
