I'm a drummer who has had a very difficult time keeping a band together, so I came up with the idea of having a 'virtual band'.
Essentially you only know the band members from different websites Facebook, Myspace, etc...
You write music and send files to each other. With some emails and phone calls you could eventually put a song together. I thought that this might be a fun thing to do because you don't need to live in the same vicinity to play. You could have a basest in China and a Drummer in Africa.
The first time you meet each other would be at your first gig.
I was just curious if any of you or your friends were interested this this sort of a thing. Give me your feedback. If this is a dumb idea please let me know.

I dont know what kind of a spring you put in it, but I added a first gen NF spring and was having similar problems. Although I was recieving 20-25ft I found that if I didn't shove the dart all the way down the barrel there would be less resistance. I recieve aroud 35ft. I think that might be your problem as well.

I swear the NF's both hit 75 flat
That is very much possible. Even though all NF's have the same internals, for some reason some recieve higher ranges than others. I have had 4 NF's, same mods on all of them, new spring, removed AR's, added a brass barrel...etc. One of which hits low 80's, Mid 70's and the other 2 get around 60. Start purchasing NF's by the gross and you'll see how they are all recieve different ranges.

They are most likely going out of production. Remember how the magstrikes were dirt cheep and then gone the next day. None of our stores carry BBB's except for target and when I went there there they were out of stock. Then I went to the service counter and checked if they had any in the back (a very helpful thing to do, almost half of the guns I've purchased were not on the shelf) and when they checked they said that they were completely out and there wasnt any information about a shipment comming in.

So wait, it still has a fast air release like normal air guns do? Does this mean I should use an air gun barrel fit on the clip, because I thought I should use a tight fit when I thought the gun was actually spring powered?
Yes you could cut off the piston and just add a barrel onto that, but you would get very poor ranges. The air release speed is not amazingly quick. It shoots off the whole bladder in a little under a second, but remember that a second is a whole lot of time for the air to release. The dart would just barely leave the barrel because there would be no sudden pressure build up/release.

The bladder itself will not break. The tubing will break, then the seal, but it will take a hell of a lot to get the bladder to split open.
If you are familiar enough with your magstrike that you would feel comfortable replacing any popped tubing then I would do it. And if you don't, then don't. It really only increases ROF which in my opinion is fast enough. I did it with my magstrike but later unbanded it (I didn't like the idea of shooting off 10 rounds in 3/4 of a second)
Your choice.

I took out my powerclip and was thinking about sanding off the end stump on the bladder that releases air when it is overly pumped. I was going to do it, but read that if you pump it more than 15 times the seal will break. I really want it to be able to shoot off 2 clips, but I also don't want to break it.
Has anyone done this, or know if it is possible.

I think that overall if you can get aluminum barrels use them. For my darts and stock darts I receive slightly better ranges, it looks much cooler, and is easier to ram the dart down (If you have a long barrel).

I see how many of you think that the tank extension works, but how? Someone who did it, tell me in detail exactly how you did it? If you look at the facts it is impossible to do without another missing step. Someone please tell me.
And secondly it does matter how fast you pull the trigger on an air gun such as these. Try this to your Airtech and you will see that your range is dramatically increased when you suddenly rip the trigger back, instead of squeezing it.
Ranges are around the 110'

EDIT: The mod pics weren't helping at all.
I have made the decision to make a bold move by letting everyone on Nerfhaven see how the tank extension mod for the airtech guns is not true. I messed around with the gu-gauge and tried exactly what the mod said to do to extend the tank. For those of you who don't know how the gu-gauge works. It is like a small balloon that seals the airtank from the liquid. When air is pumped into the gun the balloon inflates pushing the liquid up.
There are 3 main problems I found with these mods.
1. If you cut off the top of the gauge, poor out the liquid and put pvc around it, you still have that "balloon" seal preventing any air from getting up into the extended tank.
2. If you remove the "balloon" so air can reach the extended tank you loose the seal between the two parts and the tank wont hold any air.
3. The final problem is if you cut a hole in the "balloon" and do extend the tank you dont increase the range at all. I added an additional 3 inches of tank to it and it increased my ranges at the most by 3ft. Which could just have easily happened just by the weather.
Nerf isn't real war. With the AT family, never squeeze the trigger. Always firmly pull it.
Prove me wrong.

If you wanted to add a huge pump to a gun then sure but totally impractical when it only takes 7-15 pumps to fill the tank (don't know exact pump:fill tank ratio).
Just to let you know if you do mod your at2k it wont take more than 5 pumps, some tanks can get away with 6 but most break after that. And yes you can put a larger pump on it. Personally if I had an extra magstrike pump I would do it. You will have a much quicker reload time with one pump instead of 5 or 6.

That is fucking awesome!!! I cant wait to see the ranges, I bet you would get 200+ with that mother.
Edit- Fuck the 12 gauge, if a robber came into your house, he'd be fucked!
Easily, when I singled my paint-ball gun it overshot my titan by at least 50ft.
But no. I was shot with mine from around 30ft and the hit was little less than a paintball.
You need to remember it might look like it could kill someone because it left a huge hole in a cardboard box, but the human body is not even close to being that rigid and the last time I checked most robbers wear shirts, thus slowing the impact even more.

This same thing happened to me with my Wildfire and Titan. What I did was completely removed the hoses on both ends, used alcohal to remove the dried glue, and then put a good sized layer of superglue over the plastic piece that sticks out that the hose goese over (dont know exactly what to call it). Then I put the hose on and waited a minute or two for the glue to dry, and then screwed the piece back over the hose.
If this makes no sense I will post some pictures, but I hope this helps a little.

This mod is very simple, although I doubt many of you will do this because it involves gutting the internals of a perfectly good Longshot or in my case a broken one.
Essentially all you are doing is taking the plunger tube out of a Longshot and squeezing it into a NF.
These are the only parts that you will need.
You will have to use a slightly bigger screw and with a lot of hammer pounding put the (I dont know the official name for it, but its the round end piece that has the O ring around it.) Put a BBB spring in it and screw it all together.
Next you must cut the back 3/4 of an inch off the back of the LS's plunger tube. You will have to cut and bend the plastic inside and out of the NF to make it fit. There's no exact way to do it. Screw it together, and super glue the plunger tube to the NF, this prevents it from sliding out when being fired.
I'm trying to add some stability to almost the entire gun. Its so fragile if you drop it on grass it might come apart.
No official ranges yet, but it shoots much farther than any-other NF I've seen.
And yes the basic AR removal was done to the LS barrel.

Everything you guys have said is right. Its bulky, illegal, and nothing more than a paintball gun in a nerf shell.
But I figured since I had a broken LS anyway I might as well use it for something. And I decided that I'm going to add a breech, just so that it will be functional.

First off I would like to thank TAiLsChaser for giving me the information about paintball barrels. Secondly feel free to give me all the crap you want about using C02 and how its not technically a Longshot.
So to make a long story short. I simply ripped out every last piece from the inside of a longshot, and then cut the outer rims to fit my paintball gun. After that I took a one foot section of 1/2 inch brass and using some o-rings and glue, securely fastened it into the end of the paintball barrel. While keeping all of the important pieces visible. Such as the action and safety.
Now the only reason why I'm telling you this is because I got amazing range results. Here is what it looks like.
I know it looks sloppy but I'll neaten it up later.
No official ranges yet, but it definitely out shoots the National Geographic gun by at least 70ft.
(It only works with stefans. I had to use two 7/0 fishing weights on the top of my dart for it to fly. It shreds streamline darts.)

Bullshit you have a BBB spring in your NF. That thing will break after 5 shots.
It shouldn't be that hard to believe. My friend and I put a BBB spring in my NF and it shot like a dream. The only thing that happened was the spring pushed the barrel out and down a little, so we just had to use some glue to hold it in place and keep a seal when it shot.
You guys should realy go and try it, so that you can see how it does work and how great it shoots. Even if I did post pictures you would still criticize me and say how it isnt realy a BBB spring. Go try it. It wont break.
But it still makes a relatively loud sound.

First lets review.
1. Take off barrels and AR's fall out
2. Hot glue over the holes in the bottom of the barrels.
3. Hot glue over the Air Release Valve.
No for most of you your gun is now a very powerful side arm. But for the rest of you who have tried this and are still getting stock ranges, here is you problem.
I did this mod to my gun and like some of you it still only got 35ft. So I investigated. I scraped some paint off the guns air tank and noticed this
I know it might not look like much but believe it or not this gun has a second Air Release Valve, located in no other place but that screw itself. If you scrape the paint off of yours and pump it you will notice that after 21 pumps the red piece slightly moves. This doesn't happen with all SMDTG's but I do know it happens to some peoples.
So to fix this problem. Simply turn the screw 1 1/4 of a turn further in and then hot glue all around it.
Now your gun should shoot a lot better. Also to maximize the guns performance pump it 42 times. The tank blows at 45.

I modified it as well as I could without putting new barrels on it and now when I shoot it actually looses range. It wont go over 20ft until I pump it 24 times. I stop pumping it at 30 and then it shoots mid 60's. Has this happened to anyone else, and will I destroy the air tank?
