Is the stock plunger small/bad so you went with integrations galore? Nice job.
It didnt have a plunger setup. It was origianally a laser tag gun.
Then what is the plunger rod and barrel for? And why is there a rocket?

#274990 Wipeout Plunger Draw Extension
Posted by Hi Yah on 16 May 2010 - 08:46 PM in Modifications
Nice.
What size bit?Then drill it.
Are you talking about if you did this mod alone, or if done in conjunction with your extended draw mod?The new plunger head gives about 3/16" added travel and it improves the seal greatly. I also added a 1/4" PEX spacer behind the spring. This mod gives about the same added volume as my original mod, but it is also a lot stronger and easier.
I don't know the size of the bit, but I can check, it came with my tapping bit and it's slightly smaller in diameter. I was talking about if you did the mod alone. If you had the homemade plunger head with the plunger draw extension you would get 1/2" added volume, but that would be complete overkill, it shoots ridiculous as is.

#274947 Guide To Barrel Material
Posted by Hi Yah on 16 May 2010 - 04:33 PM in Modifications
Hello I need some Measurements of Brass Pipes and would be thankful if Someone could provide them.Why? You ask it´s simple:I live in Germany and we use the Metric System here so measurements in inches are of no use to me(Due to variations in conversion ratios).I need the ID´s, OD´s and Wall thicknesses(in Millimetres) of 1/2", 17/32" 9/16" and 19/32" Brass.
Thank You in advance
Borgadin
Why don't you just bring one of your darts to a store that sells brass and get the size that fits your darts good.

Materials:
1" OD 3/8" ID rubber washer
3/4" OD 1/8" ID washers
#6-32 bolt 3/4" long
#6-32 nut
#8-32 washer
First, cut the nub on the plunger.
Then drill it.
Tap it with a #6-32 tapping bit.
Assemble your plunger head. Put the #8-32 washer inside the rubber washer. Then sandwich the rubber washer between the 2 3/4" washers.
Put the new plunger head on the plunger and thread the #6-32 bolt onto the plunger.
Add a #6-32 nut on the bolt for added strength.
Now all you have to do is put the new finished plunger rod into the original plunger tube. The new plunger head gives about 3/16" added travel and it improves the seal greatly. I also added a 1/4" PEX spacer behind the spring. This mod gives about the same added volume as my original mod, but it is also a lot stronger and easier. All credit of the plunger head goes to venom213.
#274323 Externally Singled Hornet (for Power)
Posted by Hi Yah on 08 May 2010 - 08:57 PM in Modifications
Okay, im the noobiest person on this forum and have a hornet that id like to single. So at the part in where you make the breech, could you lighten that up for me or someone help me on how to do that exactly.
Any help appreciated.
Ty.
To make a breach you take your barrel sheath and cut out a section of it to fit your darts. Then you cut your barrel to your desired length. Depending on the material of your sheath and barrel you might have to modify your barrel or sheath to have them fit properly. I know that this isn't detailed but this should give you the jist of making a basic breach.

Minimization.
Replacement plunger head.
Held on with a 6-32 bolt and a nut on the other end.
1" PETG plunger tube from Petco.
The new plunger head not only gives a better seal, it also increases plunger volume. I would estimate that the new plunger head adds 1/4" plunger travel. Yes, there will be a write up. And, yes this will get a plunger draw extension, just like in my previous write-up.

It has a 1/2" PVC coupler.
And here's a pict with a 1' long 1/2" CPVC barrel, nested in a stub of 1/2" PVC. The CPVC has been drilled out with a 1/2" spade bit, for a looser fit on my darts.
It gets good ranges. I also replace the stock o-ring with a #17 Danco o-ring. The over pressure release valve now kicks in at about 7-8 pumps.
Any questions or comments please PM me.

Posted by Hi Yah on 04 May 2010 - 09:34 PM in Modifications
Cool idea. Splats have a pretty short stroke to begin with, so every little bit counts.
I can't say I agree with wrapping etape around the plunger head. If you flare them a bit the first time you open them, and dab some lube on it, it will get a perfect seal. I feel that your method only hurts performance.
He's not using the stock plunger tube.
Doesn't really matter. E-tape will work for a while, but only until the adhesive begins to give way, and then it will degrade very quickly.
I added suger glue underneath the e-tape. There haven't been any problems.

I've tried flaring the plunger head before but the seal didn't last too long. My method also eliminates deadspace in the plunger head and I have a great seal.

A few flaws that may arise later, but I like this a lot. I'm surprised no one has tried putting homemade plunger tubes and plunger heads in these things.
I actually made this thing about a year ago and the only problem it had was that the epoxy putty on the catch notch would break, next time I'll use PVC and solvent weld. I am gonna try making a new plunger head and plunger tube once I get another one of these.

You just happened to find a tube that fit the plunger head perfectly? Very lucky. Also impressed you got the plunger cap off the plunger tube so cleanly.
The epoxy putty tube is a little bit bigger than the original plunger tube, but it's an easy fix with a bit of e-tape. Do you mean the rubber piece on the plunger cap, or the the plastic rings on the shell?

Thats awesome. What is blocking the priming bar from traveling all the way down?
The new plunger tube.

Now add the coupler on top of the JB weld, try to make it as centered as possible
Take the plunger and glue the plunger head to it. Then wrap the plunger head with electrical tape until it makes a good seal with the plunger. Put goop into the gas in the plunger head. Then, add some craft foam on top for extra padding.
Now take a piece of FBR and hot glue it to the shell. Then take a small spring and hot glue it to the foam and the catch.
Now for the plunger draw extension. Cut about a 1/4" off these rails.
Then do the same to this part.
You should get something like this.
Now, grab the lever and cut off a part on the bottom.
You should be left with this if you did it correctly.
Now, add epoxy putty to the catch notch so that it catches when the plunger runs into the spring rest. It would be a lot better to solvent weld some PVC there instead of epoxy putty, but I did this a long time ago.
Now, make the plunger tube out of the clear tube that comes with epoxy putty. Cut the new plunger tube 1/4" longer than the original one. This tube is a little bit wider than the original plunger tube. Wrap it in electrical so that the coupler assembly fits it snug. The electrical tape also make the plunger tube fit in the shell better and it makes it more rigid.
Now, assemble the internals and you are finished. Here's the finished product. And yes, that is as far as the lever will go down.
I know someone will ask for ranges, it shoots very similarly to my BBB which has a recon spring added and a 3/4" long PVC coupler behind the spring. It also performs comparably with a pistolsplat. It shoots through cardboard with ease.

Here's the gun stock.
Remove these parts with a pair of locking pliers.
You should now have this.
Here are the internals.
You won't need these pieces, so thrown them out or put them in your scrap box.
Gut the internals. You should be left with this.
Take this piece, and remove the rubber with a flat head screwdriver, knife etc.
If you did it correctly you should get this.
Take the same piece and bore it out with a 3/8" drill bit
You should now have this.
Now, cut a 1.25" piece of CPVC.
Goop the CPVC into a coupler.
Now, wrap the CPVC in electrical tape until it fits this piece flush.
Add some craft foam to the back of the piece that we drilled out earlier for padding. Then, smear some JB welb on top of it.

Black CPVC? I dont think my 1/2" cpvc fits in 3/4" cpvc. Pretty nifty you didn't have to sand the barrel, or bore out the outside of the breech.
1/2" CPVC easily fits inside 3/4 CPVC with little bit of wiggle room.

The thing is some of them were pretty close and others weren't. And it didn't seem to matter if they were straight or not as I checked them before every shot.
How would you recommend getting them centered then?
Ninja focus.
Just make sure the hole is centered and make it a bit smaller so that the weight can't move side to side.
