Very nice Banshee!
The tank functions the same way as a Super Soaker Shot Blast tank. Would you happen to know how their sizes compare?

Very nice, Venom.
I'm a huge fan of airguns so this is very appealing to me.
Add one of your adjustable OPRV pumps to it and you have an entire homemade pump + tank setup.
Great work as of late, keep it up!

Freaking mad props with the ball pump idea.
When I was scrolling down the page I was wondering how this differed from a NF rifle.
I love everything except the e-tape used to hold the plunger tube in place. You mentioned that if you're generous with the e-tape then there shouldn't be a problem but that would probably get very messy and sloppy...
Anyway great job! Can't wait to try it!

I personally prefer 3/0s and 1/4'' with hot glue domes simply because they fly further.
As for the pain aspect, I have had no issues with the impact of glue domes.
Yes, they do hurt about 30% (in my opinion) more than felt tips, but ultimately if you're going to attend a war where glue domes are in play, then that is what you have to face.
If you're not happy with glue domes, just don't attend the war.
As for the safety aspect, I feel that slug darts have a higher tendency of losing their 'head' when launched out of a powerful blaster. This becomes potentially much more dangerous than getting a welt from a glue domed dart. Sure, even if you're an excellent dartsmith, the life expectancy of slug darts are still much lower than glue domes (in my opinion). Combined with the use of hopper clips, their 'heads' just won't last as long.
I think the bottom line is that everyone attending the war have a consensus on what darts can or cannot be used and if you're not satisfied with the ruling, then simply don't attend.

Who cares. You didn't follow through, and the fact that you thought up such an awesome and practical mod, and then didn't actually execute seems pretty damn questionable to me.Wow, that's nice! I had the idea to do that to a splitfire once, but I never did it before I traded it.
Don't steal this guy's thunder. PM me if you gots beef. I posted this here because so many people do this, and it drives me crazy.
Haha yea it used to drive me crazy as well, guess I've gotten used to it.
Edit: Maybe put some white accents on the black? It might help with the Green Lantern effect.
Wanted to that originally, but after I was done with the black, I was too lazy. Haha.
Or add an LED?Maybe put some white accents on the black? It might help with the Green Lantern effect.
I've done a few LED additions already, kinda bored of it now. Haha.
I think using a turret on a Splitfire in this manner is very clever... I've never seen something like that before, though that may just be me. Awesome work.
I'm having a hard time understanding why you keep saying it's not worth doing.
I said it's not worth doing because the typical barrel replacement + pump plugged mod just takes 10minutes lol.
That's a hell of a mod, nice job! I wonder why no one's thought of this yet - SplitFires and 2K's have been popular for a decade...
Anyways, I've got a Splitfire and I'd love to rip this off, so now all I need is a 2K turret!
Yea and it's really awesome that they line up so nicely. Haha.
@Dizzy: Thanks!

Go figure right after I get done talking to my dad about a green lantern paint job some one goes and does it already. Nice work can't wait to see more.
Haha I still think it looks rather Ben 10-ish. Use a darker/deeper green for yours!
@Zorn & billyblue: Well I guess something similar applies to a rear-loading sm1500. Seeing how you must rotate it twice to shoot compared to just ramrodding a dart into the bottom barrel.
@Ryan, Beaver, JATDO, Nerf Bros: Thanks guys.

Can't say I like the pj, but the fact you pulled off a rear loading 2k turret is quite impressive. I would recommend you get some sort of ramp to make the loading easier, it looked very awkward in the video.
Yea I thought of doing that, but it would be quite steep, which might actually hinder the entry of the dart.
Extending the track would be ideal, but I didn't want to remove the screw port. Haha
Oh my god this is SO fucking awesome. EXCELLENT work. I just love pretty much everything about this blaster. Gah, that's so cool how everything lines up like that. Absolutely love it.
/nerdgasm
Edit: And the PJ is awesome. So what, there's black paint on one side. Still very sharp and clean.
Thanks. The black was to go along with the Green Lantern colour scheme.
Thanks jake and hippo!

Part 3: PAINTJOB TIME!
I wanted to give it a Green Lantern colour schemed paintjob, since it was already green.
On the right side of the shell, there is a space where it would be awesome to place the insignia.
I’ll be showing you guys the technique I’ve been using to achieve clean, precise and very specific paintjobs.
Step 1: Print out your desired picture/wording etc.
Step 2: Take out your wax paper. I used Subway paper!
Step 3: Paste painters’ tape on it. Any tape should work fine.
Step 4: Cut out your picture, and tape the sides of it on top of your tape.
Step 5: Cut out! And there you have it, a Green Lantern sticker template to paste! You can do this with basically anything else.
Here are some examples:
Step 6: Elimination of non-Green Lantern elements. No more yellow ‘N’!
Step 7: No more orange internals!
Step 8: Sand it down and tape inner parts of the right side of the shell to prevent paint from getting on the inside (if you’re using spray paint).
Step 9: Paste Green Lantern sticker. (I forgot about this HAHA so I took nail polish remover and cleared the gray away and pasted it on as you will see in the next step).
Step 10: Base coat of gray
Step 11: Black coat.
Step 12: Place everything back in its shell.
Last look at internals:
Assemble the pieces together, and you’re doneee!
I have not range tested it but with 10 pumps, I’m estimating 75-80ft.
It’s more than you will ever need for a secondary.
It has an awesome rate of fire and you won’t need to carry a ramrod anymore!
Thoughts:
- Looks more Ben 10-ish than Green Lantern. LOL.
- Not worth doing.
- Though it only took me a span of 2-3 days to finish, it wasn’t really worth the effort. Haha.
- It was fun doing, but became demoralising at times. Sometimes I wished I had just gooped in 2x6’’ PETG barrels and closed her up.
- In the end, I think it turned out awesome!
Thanks for looking through.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Part 2: Now onto the Splitfire!
Step 1: Take your Splitfire and open her up
Step 2: Remove barrels with hacksaw or whatever
Step 3: Cut out 2 pieces of ½’’ brass to use as a connector to the turret
Step 4: Attach these 2 pieces to the turret. I used super glue followed by plumbers’ goop. Here you can see why ½’’ brass or smaller is necessary. Anything larger and the spring will get in the way.
Step 5: Insert PETG and 17/32s into the base. This part could have been done very differently (if I had used different connector pieces), however keep in mind that the inner most piece of tubing has to be ½’’ in OD or smaller.
Step 6: This part is pretty cool. Goop your turret (now with the connector piece attached) into the base of the tank. I placed goop on the inside, followed by the outside. What’s so cool? They fit PERFECTLY. Well ok almost perfectly, it’s probably off by about 1mm, but that’s probably due to error of my free-hand drilling of holes into the back of the 2k turret. Also if you want to paint it, it’s best to paint it before doing this.
Step 7: Shell accommodation. ***Cut along here. This was my first measurement which I cut along. However, I cut it further down a little more when I realised I could place the turret closer to the tank to lessen dead space.
Step 8: Rear-loading slot!
Step 9: Plug pump and lube it up. Picture taken from Falcon, although one isn’t really needed.
Step 10: Once all pieces are connected together, place epoxy at the base for more support, which was why I told you not to remove the nub in Step 4 of the Turret segment.

**WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY! 
Hello guys! Time for my 2nd write-up!
As you can see, this write-up is on the Nerf Splitfire.
It’s my favourite among all the Nerf blasters and it’s tonnes of fun.
I had the intention of doing this mod to it but decided to go with something new, less bulky and cleaner.
This was what I came up with.
--------
I’ll be going over 3 parts to this mod:
1) Rear-loading 2k turret Thanks to Ryan for his write-up
2) Integration of the turret to the Splitfire
3) Paintjob!
Things you will need:
1) Nerf Splitfire
2) Air Tech 2000 Turret
3) PETG and brass
4) Super glue and plumbers’ goop
5) Rubber washers
6) Dremel/hacksaw/power tools etc
7) E-tape
8) Wax paper
------------------------
And let’s begin!
Part 1: Turret
Step 1: Take your 2k turret and open her up.
Step 2: Remove stock barrels. I was lucky and didn’t have to use boiling water.
Step 3: Drill holes to fit your barrel material (I’ll be using PETG here)
In case you were wondering, I used a dremel for this. It takes patience and steady hands. It also helps that the outer walls fit PETG nicely. lol.
Step 4: Drill the same sized holes into the back piece of the turret in these positions.
*Keep the protruding thingy at the bottom of the turret (the part sticking out below the smaller crater below)
Step 5: This is what the original ‘rotation groove/mech’ thingy (in the middle) looks like.
Make it look like this; a more square-ish shape, as opposed to circle-ish
Step 6: Cut your barrel material. I used 6 inches which what I’ve read is ‘optimal’.
Step 7: If you’re painting your blaster (like me), you might want to do the paintjob first.
If not, proceed with this step. Goop the barrels into the turret. This is what Step 5 is for. As you can see the barrels are flush with the groove thingies, therefore you will have a problem with the rotation. If you cut down the thingy like I did, this will solve that problem.
Step 8: Super glue rubber washers onto turret, then sand the edges to get a larger ID. I don’t have a picture for this, so I illustrated it on Paint.
Step 9: Optional. In Ryan’s rear-loading 2k turret mod, he placed goop in the empty spaces. I skipped this. Instead, I left it empty. Basically the ID of the rubber washer is smaller than the diameter of the PETG, but the OD is larger. Something like this: therefore I didn’t really see the need gluing the empty spaces. (I hope this part isn’t confusing lol)
