Dude, you will never be first as long as I have anything to say. You can check out my thread, though. Since you seem to not understand the search function, this will give you a chance to figure it out. Search "nerf auto." Make sure you choose to search 'all topics' before you run it.

OK, I don't care if I'm the first. I just want an automatic nerf gun. And I know how to use the search function. They have it on all 13 forums I'm a member of. I'm just lazy.

OK, right now, I am more determined than ever to make a full automatic nerf gun. or at least one that repeats. Anyway, please post your ideas on the subject here. The only way I can think of is to use co2 and I don't want to without a regulator (expensive and bulky). So, since this is a brainstorming thread, lets brainstorm.

three things-

one: be warned, you've got a flame or two coming your way at this rate. see #2, #3.

two: use the search function...next to the little magnifying glass at the top of your page. there have been more topics about this than there have been about paintball(don't even think about it)...and that's quite a lot. i helped you out a little bit

three: no one has ever made an automatic nerf gun. boltsniper (use that name in #2, you'll get nice results), to my knowledge has best homemade as far as ROF goes. if you really want to go back in time, there were two guys on nerfonline who claimed to have made a full-auto nerf gun...it used some sort of microwave reactor and super-ionic-particle-acceleration technology (so they claimed). anyway, they dissappeared for a while, one of showed up again years later and was flamed to death. end of story.

this isn't helpful and I don't care if I get flamed. As I say on nother forum: It is impossible for me to be a bigger idiot than I already am. I don't take offense to anything easily.

Now, back on topic, I know about boltsniper although I've never heard of the microwave guys. I am also aware that one (a homemade) has never been built.
Duh, I WANT TO BE THE FIRST, Thats why it says "automatic brainstorming (<keyword) thread" instead of "building an automatic". I made this thread in hopes that people would post their ideas and I would find one, or a combination that worked and try it.

Now, can we all please stop discussing the microwave guys as I have no intention of building a microwave powered machin gun. That is, unless it shoots hotdogs. Ok, so, lets try to get bac on topic.

The issue with the magazine being fed by gravity is that it can easily fault. My magazine design is a similar concept to any magazine fed firearm. Shells (1/2 in PVC) are fed upwards by a spring, whereupon a bolt slides back. When the bolt jams forward, the shell is slipped from the magazine. Then pull the bolt back and presto.I haven't been able to build an extractor claw yet, so I just take the shells out by hand. I hooked this system into my H2 Shell and powered it using Co2 Mini cartridges. It works just dandy. If I can figure out a means of creating sufficient gas to propel the bolt back automatically and a extractor mechanism, then it'd be fully automatic. Whoot!

wow, did you use a regulator? Can you post a pic

P.S. Love the respray job. . .

If any of you have seen the anime Evangelion then you know why it has that name and color. Just thought I'd add this.

Sorry about my earlier post. Now that I've seen a pic, everything is different. You definately did a good job on it. A question I have is, what kind of pump is that? I am cureous as to where you got it.

it's a balloon pump and if you ever see one like this run. Far and fast. I wouldn't use this pump again unless my life depended on it.

Now, here's the question:

Are the rumors that one dart will shoot fine and the other won't, true? Does one dart get way more range than the other when fired?

~Vintage

mine does that if you use stock darts. you have to use stefans. and if you like this wait until you see my v.2

ok, really sorry to double post, but here is the pic if you want to see it. At my dads suggestion I made another barrel thats interchangeable so I can switch it between double and single barrel.

BTW, it is upside down in the picture. (just in case you can't figure that out)

Ok let an idiot ask a question here. What exactly is needed in a loser rifle?
Long Barrel? Good Air compacity? What?

The punmp is a ballon pump. They sell them in all the dollar stores around where I live. It's the same pump on all of his guns. I have one, somewhere.

Not to be trashing you or anything, but it's not the first shotgun. Someone on NH developed a shotgun round, turning any PVC modded gun into a shotgun. This is how to make one: Take FBR, quarter it lengthwise, put a glob of hot-glue on each quarter. The spread is great. So no, it's not the first working nerf shotgun.

He means it is the first shotgun that is actually designed as one, not just able to use ammo that makes it like a shotgun.

yep, he's got it

Attention everyone, I am proud to anounce that my testing is complete and I have developed the first working nerf shotgun. It's muzzle load which is the only bad thing but with 5 pumps I can shoot 10 darts 20-30 feet (I haven't measuerd so its around that distance). I have a small problem with a leak around the pump and after thats fixed the "Longinus Gun" will make its first appearance on the internet.

I've been wanting an rf20 but I haven't discectd mine yet. Afraid I'd mess it up but I hope to be gettimg another one in the near future. If I could make a larger version of its workings I think I could apply it easily to my machine gun

yea I was thinking of sealing the barrel earlier. i could put something over the breech if its a blowback and have the breech cover conncted to the part that slides back, that way after every shot the gun would reload (slides back) and reseal the barrel (slides forward)

the co2 would have collar around it made of something and the trigger would be made like a normal nerf trigger. pulling the trigger makes it go down release it and it pops back up in front of the collar. I'd really like to have this idea work in some way whether it be co2 or not. I'd like to here your ideas for the gas design.

I've got an idea on firing using CO2.

Basicly, this is an idea i got while looking at a Tompson sub-mechine gun (tommy gun). I dont know alot about CO2... so this is just a guess.

Picture here

The Black thing that kinda looks like a CO2 tank is a. . . .You guessed it! A co2 tank!

In back of it is a spring

In front of it is a bar going throgh the PVC. Attached to it is a rod/pole.

Then some fittings to reduce the size of the PVC down to 1/2".

Next is two 90* 1/2" elbows.

Then comes the barrle, with some kinda magazine on top of it.

I'm not sure how the mag will work. . .  this is just my idea about firing repeted shots of CO2.

---

What happens is the CO2 tank is pushed forward by the spring. The Rod/pole presses the pin on the CO2 tank releasing the CO2. The CO2 travels throgh the elbows to the barrel and launches the dart. The force of the CO2 being released blows the tank back and compreses the spring then to whole cycle starts over again.

It's just an idea...
What do you think?

I thought this was a rather good concept. I'm going to try to make something similar and I'd like your feedback as to whether you think it'll work or blowup in my face. I'm hoping mine will have a large gravity feed clip and the CO2 cartriage wil be held within 2 1/2 different chambers. One inside another insde a partiale cover. I hope to get my blueprints up soon.
Mine will also have a trigger.

I modded one of those guns. It looked like a glock and I really liked it so now it shoots really small stefans. I get like 20 ft with it. It'll be a good backup weapon.
