If you want to spend 20 to 30 minutes of manual labor attempting to save yourself $3.75 then that's your prerogative.

No. No manual pump can even approach 2500 psi.

That's wrong. PCP airgun pumps can pump up to 230 bar, which is over 3000 psi.

Scroll down the page a little.

While yes, one of the highlights of the recon is the high rate of fire, one of the low point of pump guns is low rate of fire. Combining these would provide an interesting median.

Why?
Well, several reasons.

-Reliability
If you ever look inside a Nitefinder, you will see a very simple set up of a plunger, a plunger tube, a catch, and a barrel. The only complex thing in there is the light, which most everyone rips out at some point. This is a huge reason why the LnL is so popular; simplicity at it's best.

-Performance
Not only does the Nitefinder reliably shoot a plenty far for a sidearm, it also has a fairly quick reload. Earlier, there was someone talking about two types of reload speed, Burst rate of fire is over a short amount of time, something the Maverick excels in. The other (I forget the name of this one...) is over a longer period of time, something the Nitefinder at least matches the Maverick in. Sure you can get off 6 shots way quicker than with a Nitefinder, but by the time you reload the whole turret, I bet I can get off my 5th-6th shot and be almost ready for the next.

-Availability
The Nitefinder is widely available all over the place, and for a cheap cost. I think Nitefinders over here are right around $7, with Mavericks being more like $10.


Just overall, the Nitefinder seems to win over the Maverick, and so it is the most popular sidearm for Nerfers.
Now, I'm not saying Mavericks are bad, despite other people's opinions. I think there's a place for them, and with proper modification, they can be quite good. Give it a swappable clip, a stronger spring, a more reliable rotating mechanism and some reinforcement. You should probably be able to hit 50' consistently with great rate of fire. Use it for rushing, defending, cover fire, etc. and it can be prove to be quite useful.

And even then, shouldn't this be in homemades?

Or is he right because it's for a modded blaster?

So that huge thing is pretty much a giant air tank with a barrel on it? That's awesome, the huge bazooka like look to it really impresses me. Oh yeah, and why don't you capitalize anything?

He needs the ACTION (Also called the BUFFER) spring, not the detent.

Just call some local gun shops. Most of them carry them, know someone that does, or can order them for you.

For Keef's and/or other's benefit, I'll post a diagram of how to wire together a solenoid, switch, and three 9 volt batteries:



It's up to you to figure out how exactly to attach all of the wires, but that at least shows what to connect to what.

For a compression spring I refuse to believe that a shorter spring is harder to compress until I see a verified source. F = -kx, so if you cut it down, x is then decreased because you can't compress it as much, resulting in a smaller force.

Changing the number of active coils will change the spring constant (k).

No, Whitey. He had long chick hair that was whiter than.... white. He was like, some old wizard dude who rode a horse or something. I forget, my dad told me a few years back.

umm i think you mean harry potter. the main wizard died.
not lotr.

I'm probably going to end up cutting some coils off the return spring....it's a bit burly right now.

Wouldn't that make the spring harder to compress?

PS - I love watching the incremental improvements develop

Looks like someone's been playing Gears of War a bit too much

Put lights on a PowerClip to make it look like the Plasma Rifle on Halo

Nice man, Nice!

Um what I meant was possible to break windows if you get a gun powerful enough (100+ranged) and shoot it fairly closely. I have shot at a window 5 paces away with my (maverick, Speed loader , {Maxshot 10 paces})
and didn't break the glass and I didn't dare shoot it with my singled titan. Its not as painful as you think my sister who dint know took 2 shots for me 1 wood tipped 1 washer stefan(about 2 paces away) . She said ouch to both but when i asked her which one hurt more and she said the washer stefan hurts more because it stings.My theory is the impact area is less for the wood tipped therefore spreading out the force of impact ...

Alright...this is pinned so hopefully it's not bad that I'm reviving it. It looks like I could ask on this thread since you're talking about CAD... well when I try to download Alibre it asks me for all this information. Information that I usually don't have to ever fill out over the internet to get something. I would fill it out without hesitation if I lived somewhere else, but I don't want my parents to get spammed with phone calls. Do you have to own a company to register? Could I use my cell phone which I never use for a phone number?

Better yet, is there a mirror that I could download this from without registering?

You didn't actually drink that much. And margarita mix is just lime-ade, basically, it's not alcaholic. I celebrated my birthday (yes really), but other than that, it was pretty uneventful.

Well I guess I have to drink more next time!
