Here's a pic of the shell with all the internals taken out.
Wanting too maintain the stock appearance as much as possible (I'm a big fan of wookies), I saw that the SMDTB pump left over from my upcoming Arachnophobia/Marvelous Salvo inspired project would be ideal. You need to cut the ridge shown on the left side of the pump tube in this next pic so that the part that keeps the pump rod inside the tube can rotate freely, allowing you to position the output hole of the check valve (on the righthand side) without having the pump handle at some ridiculous angle.
with some very minimal dremel work,
it fits like a dream!
note that you can see both what I was talking about before with rotating the pump tube, and how I used the ridges that used to hold the catch plate to grip the lip of the thing that keeps the pump rod in the tube, keeping the pump rod from coming out of the shell. Fitting the rest of the internals in, unfortunately, took a bit more extensive dremel work (nothing compared to the nightmare I have facing me with the hornet shell I'm using for my next project, ugh)
For the rest of the internals, I used a hornet tank and blast button (also left over from my upcoming project). I drilled a hole in the stem of the hornet tank that the peg from the SMDTB pump fit snugly into, and gooped it up. then I put one of those little springs inside the tubing to keep it from collapsing at the sharp angle I bent it to, and gooped it to the blast button. I cut down the part of the stock trigger that interfaced the catch plate, and glued a piece of a crossfire trigger system connecting the stock trigger to the inside of the blast button. Here you can see them installed:
The barrel is a piece of OMC PETG left over from another project, cut to fit the shell. I'm sure it's far from the optimal length for a hornet tank, but it looks nice.
All closed up, without the "bow" part. I lost the little prg that used to attach the bow arms, but I don't want to just glue them on, I'll figure something out later.
Ranges coming as soon as I figure out optimal number of pumps, and go outside to try it out.
If anyone has experience with using PETG on a hornet tank, and wants to suggest optimal barrel length, I'd appreciate it, my stefans fit pretty loose in the PETG.
ooh, first writeup, complete!

A thumbtack or screw on the top of the blast button would keep you from completely covering the opening when firing the hornet tank and causing a misfire.
He has a thumbtack
Now, take your thumbtack and heat it up while holding it with pliers. Melt it in the button and you're good to go.

in theory, this could work, especially since the cpvc wouldn't be operating in a pressurised capacity (ie as a tank), so you wouldn't need to worry about compromising it's integrity. However, bending pipes with heat guns is iffy at best, and bending them to the tolerances needed to both fit the shell and achieve a tight seal to the turret... well, I wouldn't try it, but you're welcome to!Couldn't you just take a heat gun to some CPVC and bend it so it fits in the shell? This would remove the need of an elbow and cut down on the dead space.
EDIT: ugh, ninja'd

Do you have problems with the stock collapsing while you are trying to nerf? I know that this has been a problem for others, and was wondering if your stock mod included something to prevent it.

If not, go try it, then come back and tell us about how it went, and what you learned. To quote Vacc:
"[why don't] we try these game types out before posting them here? Otherwise this degrades into the same thing as a modification concept thread. If I have to read through 3 paragraphs of ridiculous bullshit only to find that it's not even something you've tried before I'm gonna give up on this thread imediately."

I think that is generally the point, although the material cost is less than $20, the amount of time and work required is in fact (to my understanding) designed to justify the shield's use.-snip-
Baghead's Manta shell (modified for this use) is, of course, an excellent solution, but it requires a lot of time and materials.

EDIT: I would suggest reading all of Bags' pontifications before even considering making one. He makes some compelling arguments, and if you are able to ape them effectively, it should further increase the likelyhood of you using your shield.

I think that he's using the plunger tube as an air tank in the fully auto design, but the diagram does not specify what kind of valve mechanism he is planning to use to control the firing. I think the plunger in his design is only used in the "manual" firing mode. I think it might be better to use an AEG like system, rather than using a plunger tube as an air tank, though.Please explain how you can have a full auto gun that requires you to pull back the plunger before each shot. How is that at all like a vulcan except for the belts and that you threw an unnessecary motor in there?

If I am to understand your improbable situation correctly, you are now, in fact, in the opposite situation of ejrassmussen.Actually now that I think about it I was in the same situation as you were. My grandma was garage-saling and she called me and told me that she got two crossbow looking nerf guns. I wished they was actually crossbows but I knew that it was not likely, and was most likely BBB's. So I thought, yay now I have two BBB's. But when she came to my house to drop them off they ended up being two crossbow's.

U of M is a nice school, as long as you are talking about Michigan (the real U of M).I'm going to Puget Sound next year and they don't have a Nerf Club so I started one. I don't think it'll get too big until school starts, and even then there's only about 2200 students, but it's worth a shot.
When I visited on admitted students day, they were playing Humans vs. Zombies... for charity. Can you believe it? Anyways, that's not why I chose to go there, but it's definitely an added bonus.
Also consider location. IE if you go to, say, Stanford, I bet they don't have a Nerf Club, but you're in CA, so... you're pretty well off. Or, of course, you could go to the U of M, which doesn't have a club, but you've got me and Sam hosting 15-20+ attendee wars...
I've considered going to U of M or Penn State, but then again, I'm a Junior in High School, not the first thing on my mind.

Negative. As long as you stuck with stock/peg removed guns and don't use stefans, it isn't a problem in many workplaces. I work at a google affiliated company, and we keep nerf guns at our desks.I never knew there were such things as office wars...
If that really happened, wouldn't every get fired?

Sounds to me more like a squad based version of assassins. I would appreciate more information on this game mode, however. For instance, how did you guys handle police relations?Now THAT sounds awesome.In my town, there is a club called Dart Wars. It is teams of 4 which play another team each week. You can be shot anywhere except at school, work and religious ceremonies. You can go into stores and take someone out, or chase them down on the streets. No driveby's allowed, no breaking into homes or any of that stuff. The winning team gets a cash prize. DX knows more about it since he ran it one year (I think).
Sounds like HvZ except not on a campus

From what I've seen, in Taiwan, they allow the use of shields to block darts, making this a quite practical (and aesthetically appealing!) addition to any of the JSPB blasters.Yet another sweet creation man! I suppose this is all for show, though.
Bike fender things have a clamp already on them that is used to attach the fender to the bike frame. From this pic: Pic it looks like he uses it to attach the fender to his barrel, although I suppose one could attach it to any of the piping on a homemade.Anyways, I can't see how you attach this. Do you use screws, clamps, couplers, what?

That's correct. You have to remove the rear of the shell to the clip, and pull out the stock barrels. Then you can cut cpvc to fit, and slide it into the position that the stock barrels were in. The reason that this works is that the ARs took up space at the rear of the stock barrels, this space can now be used to allow room for the end of the darts. CTDSs can fit entirely inside the clip if it is re-barreled. Actually, the micros that come with the Pbpb are a bit to fat to fit into the cpvc, so stock micros and stefans get much better ranges after the barrel replacement. if you guys want to pool together around $3 I'll be able to buy another one, and then I can do a full write up on what I'm talking about. Alternatively, if someone else wants one of these, I would mod it pro bono. I'd be willing to do the mod for the first person who pms me willing to pay the cost of the gun + shipping. Naturally, I would make a write up in this case as well.I dont believe that you can fie micros out of it though because you would have to cut the shell or just singly load them.

Edit: Also, I removed the bit at the top of the clip that prevents it coming out the bottom of the gun, as I disliked loading the clip from the top. It now loads from the bottom like a right proper gun should, and works like a dream. I'll take pictures of the part that I did differently on request.

lol, MI is Michigan... Which is farther than Missouri from SoCal, but much closer to NJ than either.Play by your own rules. Make em up, switch em out.
Your in Missouri anyways, don't be excepting a APOC popping up nearby anytime soon.
EDIT: to add some merit to this post, I realize that when just playing around with my friends, any rules we care to make up are legit (a stock Air XXL Bazooka's main use is parrying if you are playing stock without gun hits). However, I wanted to get some sort of citable precedent that I could refer to (or draw wisdom from) in the event that I attend a major war, or those who are accustomed to larger wars attend a more layed back one that I may host later this summer.

I would say the hole is probably directly opposite the trigger pin, on the same side of the gap in the tank as the pump. A PM to imaseoulman may also help to clear things up. He might even have a picture he could share with you, ya never know!-snip-
You're probably wondering how the pump is connected to the "Marvelous Salvo." If you're not, you should. I simply drilled a small hole in the Big Blast's air tank (on the big part between the three posts)

What about the strongarm? This is actually the gun I had in mind when I mentioned the armor shot. While I admit that my argument about it being designed as armor suffers a significant blow due to the fact that it does not have the word 'armor' in its name...-snip-
The Manta Ray is still the only blaster/shield out there.
-snip
Cool. While I definitely agree with this in terms of actual Nerf blasters, I myself would be unsure how a felt about some off brand shield/blaster combo. If it was made by someone like BuzzBee or Larami, I would be more inclined to accept it than just some no name piece of plastic. Do you think you could weigh in on this as well?It may happen again in the future and, in my opinion, it should be allowed as well
