You're using different materials, but the basic design should still work.

Anyway, how does this spring compare to a [k26] in terms of priming difficulty?

Pros:
Best turnout at any war I've ever been to.
Non-lubricated +bow with fucked up plunger rod performed admirably.
Saw how airguns can be competitive.
Nobody had a heat stroke.
The most awesome insect in recorded history.
LS clip breech worked 50:50. Needs work.
Got Wing Man out of semi-retirement.
Cons:
Minor Sunburn.
Fucking Hot as hell.
Mad Props to everyone who drove 5 hours to get here.

It is going to be 107 degrees in Bridgeport tomorrow.
107!!!
So, anybody having second thoughts? This is going to be bad...
Seriously, thats not even the heat index, so it is going to feel hotter then 107.
I think we need to reschedule.
Fuck it, we'll do it live!
BRING WATER AND SUNSCREEN!!!!!!

Right, war is tomorrow.
It will be 100 degrees out, so bring a lot of water and sunscreen.
One idea I had is to have a lunch break or something at 3ish, where we would pack up and get fast food or something. This would be 1) a lunch break, 2) a restroom break, and 3) a chance to get out of the sun/heat. Sounds good?

Does the power increase make up for the added deadspace?
I tend to think so--an average of 65' flat from some fairly mild mods is pretty encouraging. I have more coming----which should really show how much the added deadspace affects the ranges------if at all. Many modders found that doing the "Straw" mod didnt help the Recons Range at all----so we will see.
I recall there was a thread a while back where I asked about dead space, and the conclusion we drew was that airflow is more important. This is why the straw mod does not increase ranges by much, if at all.

Ozymandias -- I'll try and get a video up later today. I got the valve at Lowe's in the section with the ball valves (bottom shelf), in the same aisle as the rest of the fittings. Smaller hardware stores generally don't have them, I think because they are primarily a "contractor item." But I have seen them at Homie D's and larger Ace Hardware stores. McMaster has them as 46835K52, though beware of shipping costs.
Ah, thanks fir the info.
I guess you'll just need to keep adjusting and testing it until you get the right amount of valve opening to get the semi-auto function, the opening needs to be quite small to get the effect.
A suggestion: take the piece of SCH 40 PVC between the check valve and the ball valve, stick some 1/4in. tubing in there, and goop the space around it. That should do the trick, I think.
You might want to use a longer piece of pipe though, otherwise the smaller diameter would mean less volume per shot.

Do these fit in the space where the stock Air Tech 200o airtank was? I'm guessing they do but you'd know for sure.
I believe he mentioned his tanks are bigger the 2k tanks, so you would have to do some dremeling.
These are damn impressive. Have you considered making a 3k/larger version of this?
Also, have you taken these up to higher pressures?

More power. I know most SS's are band in wars but I'd argue for a test at least. I'm going to have to set the tank further back creating a lot of dead space. I don't see it hitting any further than 100' to 110' flat.
Dude... you're in Canada. If it isn't lethal, its probably allowed.
Most wars I know of allow blasters with ranges in the 140s-150s. You'll probably be okay.

Wire Size: .08 in.
Coils per inch: 3.09
Length: 11 in.
Compressed Length: 2.7192 inches
Deflection: 8.2808 inches
Of course, fully compressing a [k26] spring is a pain in the ass and ROF gos down, so most people just stick with 6-7 inches.
Just for S&Gs...

I'm not sure which it is, but Sg and Oz Nerf sites both seem free of BBs, ball bearings, washers, etc. in their darts.
I suspect pain is a factor of surface area, so having a larger striking surface (i.e. slugs) will lower pain more than a spongier material. Perhaps we can just make a cylindrical 'head' that has no tapering at all, and see if that helps with the pain.

Airsoft and similar toys are banned in Singapore and Australia. The less airsoft-y they can make darts, the better. Thus, no metal.
Moving the eraser bit back would provide more padding on the front; however, that would move the center of gravity back which would make the dart less accurate (I think).

Actually, if you would have even bothered to look at the date the video was posted on youtube, and then the date it was posted on Canadian Nerfers, you would understand why you are wrong.
This is makeitgo's video, and the Canadian Nerfers thread is makeitgo's write-up. This makes sense, seeing as how makeitgo is a Nerfer from Canada.
Here is his writeup thread posted on SgNerf Forum: http://nerfsg.freefo...-o-b-t2679.html
Also, food for thought:

Works similar to my first breech, just with clips.
That is acryllic with an ID of CPVC's OD (5/8),
The epoxy putty is so the 'bridge' doesn't crack.

Basically, the lack of backup electricity from outside the plant shut down the pumping system.
This means that they couldn't pump water through the reactor to cool it.
What they've now done is allowed sea water to flood into it in a last ditch effort to cool the reactor.
If the reactor melts down, it will melt through its concrete containment and through the earth down to the water table.
When it hits the water table, that water instantly turns into steam, and will cause a massive explosion, throwing fallout everywhere.
Even if the sea water does work, it will corrode the pipes. This means they'll have to build a containment dome ala Chernobyl at the very least.

The inner diameter is about 4in. I started working on one last fall, but shit came up and I never got back to it.
It is at Walmart and less then $10. My plan is to attach it to a nitefinder a la The lord of fish via a combination of couplers, bushings, hot glue, and ducttape.
It is a 2-way pump, which means hot glueing (sp?) the 'plunger head' is required.
