I won't be on Yale's campus during the summer- bummer. If you have any events going on in August and on, I can definitely make an effort to attend

In light of the upcoming holidays, I decided to replicate another +bow I made a while ago with single side plates. I like the metallic blue. The plunger length was also reduced, but the spring is precompressed. I would not be surprised if the end of the plunger ends up shattering after a couple dryfires.

This is a collaborative community; if you can't openly share ideas with others in a public thread, then maybe this community isn't right for you.Care to share how you got the brass to go in the barrel stubs? I mean, it'd be the right thing to do, seeing as you didn't contribute anything to the community when performing those mods. Also, pictures of your tripleshot weren't needed at all in this thread, seeing as you've posted that blaster in the mod/pj thread, and OTHER threads. Take them out.
As far as I can tell, the modification (which is just a glorified air restriction removal and basic reinforcements) limits dart usage to stock darts. Is there any factor inhibiting your ability to replace the crude stock barrels so you can use stefans?

I machined a plusbow the other day using the materials I had and the paint I had left, and I'm quite pleased with the end product.
Single side plate, precompression, all the good stuff, and glittery / metallic paintjob.

I'll probably come. I'll have anywhere between 100-800 darts, so I can't guarantee smooching, but I will have darts avaliable. They fit PETG tight. See you guys tomorrow!

I'll be coming! I may be a little late (11:00-ish), but I'll be bringing:
- Litersize's Iron man mask
- A Nitefinder I received a while ago from Snake, that I had fixed up
- A 1080p / 720p @ 60 fps capable video recorder incase I have to sit out a couple rounds and want to capture some footage
- Some other surprises
Can't wait to break in the nerfing season!

Is a "sentance" the same thing as a "sentence"? Just curious, because I don't think my Merriam-Webster dictionary is lying.
If the air is leaking out of the actual bladder, it's completely repairable via adhesive or possible patching. If it is leaking out of the actual plastic hardware, though, you may want to look in to replacing the piece(s).
I notice that you've used some capitalization and punctuation, for which I am greatful. That said, it seems that there is some confusion about where these things belong in a sentance structure. It's much easier to read if you capitalize the first letter in every sentance. Not only will people take your posts more seriously, but you'll also be in line with our code of conduct and I won't have to erase your mi...suspend your account.

Added 2 new parts to the pump action PlusBow:
-dubbed "anti-cheek diddle device", or simply polyester pipe nested over the acetal rod on the stock. Not much, but I don't want to slashed. Additionally, it adds to the structural integrity of the stock. No more twisting and buckling!
-wooden foregrip added to the simplistic rectangular grip. This improved pumping by a lot, I don't mind priming it anymore.

Team Fortress 2 is now only FIVE DOLLARS! I suggest everyone purchases this.
Furthermore, there's a ton of other great games currently on sale, including game packages (TF complete pack, orange box, etc.).

Worked on two L+Ls over the past two weeks. For my first homemades, I do like them.

Draw: 3.625" of draw
And both of them together

If there's a picture issue, I'm sorry. I view them being small, I'll be right on it.

If I remember correctly, the dump valve diameter is already quite large in comparison to the size of the tank. Unfortunately, that leads to inevitable tank failure from tons of use, but there really isn't much you can do to enlarge that hole any bigger than it already is.
I don't know the pump shaft diameter either, but I'm sure it wouldn't harm replacing the pump and then leaving the quick release valve functional. If anything, I'd try to lengthen the life of the blaster, since SM500's are way cool as it is.

If you really want to keep on lying, at least do it through Personal Messages so you don't make yourself look like a fool. You can continue playing your little "stealing accounts game", but I've already reported you to Valve. 
Brink looks interesting, but I feel like it won't be as "free movement" as they preach. There might be scenarios where you could jump off a roof and into a room....and that would be the only way off the roof. Maybe I'm just doubting the game, but I'll be mighty interested to see how it plays when released.

Alright, I thought this would belong here:
To those who own a steam account and invites members on Nerf haven, beware. Stud Muffins has been trying to steal steam accounts. I believe he has successfully stolen 4, and he intends to continue. This is a fair warning, don't click / download / interact with this member or his messages.
On a brighter note, I've been playing Balloon Tf2. It's kind of like Tf2 on a pirate ship, it's an interesting mod.

Skirt seals bought of Mcmaster-Carr have a durometer rating of A85, so these are very similiar in hardness. I'll lob these onto my purchases to see how well they do. Thanks for the find, TB.

Something like that would provide a bit more relief on the cutting of a cheek. I think an oval maybe even be a better solution, if you were to change the design.

Fantastic paintjob, Brit. I'm always a fan of your work.
I recently received a Max shot, and I loved the color scheme. Unfortunately, I had to fill a couple spots with putty, and there were quite a few scratches on the paint job, so I decided to repaint the stock colors. They look almost identical, but there are a few differences. See if you can find them!
