#343646 Mech Engineering Colleges
Posted by durka durka on 20 December 2014 - 12:07 PM in Off Topic
At UD they have mechanical engineers complete design projects every spring. The course load is heavy with a lot of dry math and science courses, so they do this to add some hands-on experience to the major.
They also have what's called a 4+1 plan in which you earn both a bachelor's and master's degree in 5 years.
It's kinda expensive if you're coming from out of state, though you might do well with financial aid and scholarships.

#321244 Crankbow, FINALLY!
Posted by durka durka on 30 August 2012 - 10:19 AM in Homemades
Have you considered orienteering the bow arms to a crossbow-like appearance? If not just for purely cosmetic purposes, it might be easier to aim without bow arms in the way.
#313032 The Nitestrike
Posted by durka durka on 17 March 2012 - 05:06 PM in Modifications
This is a great proof of concept mod. A rev 2 of this mod could really bring some power to the recon-style blasters. I would suggest focusing on increasing the power and reinforcement of crucial parts such as the nf catch.

This is a great homemade that isn't much more complex than what you're attempting to design.

In other words, sacrifice a little of the blaster's inherent advantage to balance out some of its disadvantages.

If these blasters are going to be of any use, the disks will have to be modified, or a homemade solution will have to be discovered. Any modification to the disks will have to add weight which will cause them to fall somewhat faster, therefore losing their main benefit.

How long does it take to load one of these? It seems like getting the yarn to fit properly would be somewhat time consuming.

#302330 A Nerf gun leads to serious charges for a Quincy teen
Posted by durka durka on 26 July 2011 - 08:36 PM in General Nerf
Dude death darts and tac darts from a maverick hurt imagine one from a titan. Yes its improbable for you to directly be killed by one but like kit said construction sites are hazardous enough wsith out jack asses shooting darts at you.
The nerf guns were purchased and then used to harass the construction workers. There was no modding going on. A stock nerf gun couldn't be used in any fashion to inflict serious harm.
Additionally, I highly doubt any kind of tack dart fired from even a titan would result in more than a small puncture wound. The obvious example here is a hit to an eye, but chances of that are remote.
As it was stated before, the construction workers were not on site at the time. They were in a vehicle.

#302004 Modification and Paintjob Pictures
Posted by durka durka on 21 July 2011 - 08:17 PM in Modifications
Plunger draw increase, industrial spring, two o-rings,SSBP integration, RSCB (holds 4-5 stefans), and a few other small tweaks. I even relocated the pistol grip so that it is more comfortable to hold and easier to holster. However, It's somewhat more awkward to prime now.
You might have noticed the sight on the end of the barrel. It actually does improve accuracy and makes aiming easier and faster.
Simply look down the RSCB and put your target in the circle. I haven't done extensive tests, but I've only seen an improvement in accuracy. My most powerful sidearm as of now.
#301628 Long Shot bolt unable to move/mis alignment (new problem, can only pri
Posted by durka durka on 15 July 2011 - 10:06 PM in Modifications
As for your priming problem, it sounds like the boltsled is catching on something. Look inside the blaster for anything that appears worn down. The sound and force you describe makes it seem like you're having to force the boltsled past some obstruction.
If you can't figure out what's causing the problem, just keep trying to realign the parts.

Thanks for the advice. Would plumbers goop work? Ya like jaybo said, it was a water gun that you could strap to your wrist. I took off the front nozzle and it wouldn't hold air anymore for some reason, so I just slapped on a ball valve.
Plumbers goop should work, but expoy is better. If you choose to use goop, I would apply more than you think is needed.
Is the pump plugged?
#301316 New Nerf Guns
Posted by durka durka on 10 July 2011 - 05:56 PM in News
The electronic blaster in the vortex line bulges out in right in front of the disk mag in a shape that suggests the use of flywheels.
The use of foam disks brings up more questions than the new blasters themselves. How will the disks compare to nerf darts and our stefans and slugs? Can the disks be modded to be more stable in flight? Can homemade disks be easily made? I don't think we'll figure most of this out until the line is released. How these blasters are received will most likely be determined by how the new ammo type performs.

Also, the picture is a neat idea. Nicely done.

I used to have some foam disk shooters and I remember that the disks would never fly straight. Who knows if we'll be able to weigh them to fly straight.

Flash said, all the best mods are in the modification directory. If you don't know how to get there,you first need to click on "forums", then "modifications" and then the directory should be the fifth topic from the top. The directory is ordered by brand and then alphabetically.
Also, remember that you can always search. The information you need is already on the site, so try the search function first.
#297755 Octo-Shot
Posted by durka durka on 01 May 2011 - 07:09 PM in Modifications
Not only was the video very entertaining, it was also very informative and easy to understand. Someone with much less knowledge could easily pull this off.
At first I thought the reinforcing to be excessive, but after watching the range tests and the effort put into priming the gun, the reinforcements seem to be necessary.
#297633 Improving accuracy and precision
Posted by durka durka on 27 April 2011 - 10:40 PM in Darts and Barrels
I like that idea a lot. In fact, it would be easy to have an entire set of ported barrels specifically for testing optimum barrel length.Ooh! Porting a barrel may be an easy, effective way check your barrel length! Coat the ports very lightly with dish soap or other bubble blowing solution, and fire a dart. No bubbles, or bubble solution inside the tip barrel = too long of a barrel, you're drawing a vacuum before the dart leaves the barrel. If you get bubbles, that means there is excess pressure that could of been used to accelerate the dart. If it just sputters violently, it's too short. That's purely theoretical of course. I don't know if ports on a barrel can even blow bubbles. Perhaps a similar test can be done with a weak tape (painters tape), or glitter/chalk line dust. The chalk line dust may work better with only a single small port drilled.

What kind of air compressor are you using? Was it originally portable, or did you modify it?

#293555 Night Vision For N-strike
Posted by durka durka on 29 January 2011 - 06:10 PM in General Nerf
On a serious note, I could buy any nerf blaster currently on the market, a roll of duct tape, and a flashlight for $55 or less. Let's not forget that we spend our time modifying childrens' toys to play tag with. I can see how this is interesting, just not how it would be very useful at all.
#293404 Scammed Again For $190!
Posted by durka durka on 26 January 2011 - 07:58 PM in General Nerf
Also, calling someone a retard just because they put more value and time into their work is just nonsense. You look like a fool when assuming that the way you do things is the way everyone else does.
Autonerf: I occasionally sell electronics (computers, ipods, and such) at an outdoor market. The people there aren't exactly good people and will occasionally try to steal my stuff (Hell, I even had to chase a guy down who tried to walk off with a laptop) My point is that these events would force me to change how I did business in order to avoid any more losses. I hope these experiences are enough to get you to change your business in a way that you won't run into these problems anymore. I hate seeing people get ripped of, and hope you find a way to end this.
#293367 Scammed Again For $190!
Posted by durka durka on 25 January 2011 - 07:49 PM in General Nerf
If I were you, I would email the buyer demanding that your items be returned. See what kind of response you get and maybe you can trap this kid into admitting he has them. Assuming that this is a young kid who is attempting to scam you, then the credit card used to make the purchases must belong to an adult. I would try and contact the true owner of said card and notify them of the situation. You could call the credit card company and see if they could give you any information, or you could even send a letter to the address you shipped to). Gather any information that may help you regardless of how unimportant it might be.
Also, I think you people who are arguing over how much autonerf may lose are missing the point. Scams like this are wrong and all effort should be made to stop them. By stopping this scam, you may be saving some other sellers lots of time and aggravation.

Posted by durka durka on 18 January 2011 - 05:12 PM in Modifications
The glue is still drying, so I haven't tested this yet. Note the coupler glued into the follower. The coupler is pushed back onto a 1/2" cpvc barrel to allow the use of 1/2" cpvc barrel attachments.
A QUICK EDIT: Obviously there's a lot of deadspace in this thing. The titan only has enough output to launch the balls about 25-15 ft. I'm going to have to do a tank expansion, most likely using the tubing for the "pressure gauge".

#290034 Guide To Barrel Material

The fit is tight on stock darts. To get around this, make your barrels shorter than usual, or invest in stefans.
You can't go wrong with cpvc. At worst you're out $3-5.
