#47742 Springs
Posted by Vassili on 21 February 2005 - 10:29 PM in Modifications
I highly reccomend bolt cutters or aviation snips. The first time I cut a spring, the only thing I could find was a jigsaw. It wasn't pretty, but an hour later I finally had two pieces.

Yeah, that was me too. The cool thing is that PETG kinda came to me, so that wasn't ever a problem.Parents won't let me buy online, or I'd have tons of PETG by now.

#33301 Razor Fin?
Posted by Vassili on 06 August 2004 - 12:25 PM in General Nerf
No, they're not....and the barrels are epoxied into the case.
For some odd reason I actually tried to be helpful to this kid at NHQ:
"The Razor Fin has a tiny plunger tube, and the mechanism that switches the barrels greatly restricts the airflow. I doubt you can get more than 30-40 feet if you leave the barrel switching mech on, so I'd suggest ripping it off and single barreling it.
The problem with single barreling it though is that you'd have to connect the barrel to the plunger tube with some kind of tubing because otherwise the barrel will stick out of the top of the gun. Of course, by changing the airflow you will lose some pressure, which is already pretty abysmal. You'll also need to either replace the spring or add rubber bands because the stock spring is extremely weak.
Once that is all said and done, you'll have to deal with firing the gun with the weird trigger mechanism, and cocking it from the bottom of the handle, which is also quite inconvenient. All that work for a gun that can maybe get 45 feet on a good dart? Not worth it.
What I ended up doing with my Razor Fin was hacking off all of the gun except the handle, which held the plunger tube, and taping/glueing a crayola barrel directly onto the plunger tube. I had planned on integrating or somehow adding this little gun to one of my primary guns to act as a last-resort backup shot, but never got around to it.
In short, give up on your Razor Fin and dish out the 7 bucks needed for a NiteFinder." -Me at NHQ
I hope that answers your question if you should buy 'em or not.

#30605 Spin Stabilization?
Posted by Vassili on 07 July 2004 - 05:57 PM in Modifications
Why do I not think it will work? With a rifled barrel, air can seap around the dart through the rifled grooves in the barrel, losing air pressure behing the dart. The benefit of the dart spinning just won't be able to make up for the lost air pressure.
The reason that rifled barrels work with firearms is because the bullet slightly expands from the heat and fills up the grooves. If someone was to make well-made darts with fins and made the fins spin in the grooves of the rifled barrel, you might get some good results. But, of course, making darts with fins is no easy task, and the added range will not be worth the extra hours put into making darts.

#30394 Air Xxl Skeet Shoot
Posted by Vassili on 05 July 2004 - 01:25 PM in Modifications
I definitely say take it back. If you were to mod it and widen the plunger tube, you would have to move/modify/remove the rotating mechanism, which is kind of the whole reason why that gun would be so good.
Nice job on taking those pics, though.
#29975 Fireworks
Posted by Vassili on 30 June 2004 - 02:34 PM in Off Topic
I was just in La Quinta (in the greater Palm Springs area) last week playing golf, and it was friggin' 120 degrees. My friends pool was 90 and it felt cold.For fourth of July, I'll end up in Palm Springs with a bucket of KFC Popcorn Chicken and a Mountain Dew.
The simple things in life.
Anywho, on the 3rd I'm going to be forced to watch a parade of a bunch of golf carts decorated by 70+ year olds at my grandparents house. I hope I don't have too much fun. The 4th will be filled with partying and fireworks, however.

Cx, is your xbow all back together and working?
Zero, why not relocate the charging handle to the stock, like a stock xbow? You could also put the charging handle in the foregrip like a real-steel gun.

#27087 1500 Spupermax
Posted by Vassili on 26 May 2004 - 09:43 PM in General Nerf
I meant angled. IR's got about 130, too.Yes, it would. I can get at least 130 feet with mine, but 70 feet is a whole lot more.Also, 200 feet shouldn't be too hard to achieve with a 5k...
And yes, if you massively expanded the airtank of a 1500, then used darts heavier than the standard NATO round, you could get 200 feet. Of course, as Cx, said that's really not a 1500, but a homemade, and you have made Nerf a lethal sport/hobby.

#26625 Constricted Petg
Posted by Vassili on 20 May 2004 - 04:29 PM in Modifications
An idea I had a while ago, cut slits in PETG and wrap it tightly in electrical tape. With the ID of the PETG smaller, you can have a constricted section of the barrel that allows the air pressure in the plunger to build before firing the dart. I modded my Triple Shot and tested it with a normal PETG barrel and this barrel, and I definitely got improved results of about 5-10 feet. I encourage you to try this and see if you get similar results. I already wrote up a short Triple Shot mod and more details about the contricted barrel for NW, now we're just waiting for Grinch to post it. Feedback?

#25507 Small Soldiers
Posted by Vassili on 03 May 2004 - 11:04 PM in General Nerf
Try an SS2 or SM750 if you think 70' is good for a sidearm. Still though, the SM500 is a very good gun, as with the small soldiers rifle. If you're up to it, I highly reccomend Cx's internal barrel mod...The SM500, IMO, is the best Nerf sidearm you can get in power. Around 70' properly modded, if not, more.

#25286 Unnamed Eab Creation
Posted by Vassili on 01 May 2004 - 12:23 AM in Modifications
You can see in the third pic that I used a long, bendable brass sheet and formed it to the shell and pump, then wrapped the brass in extremely tight duct tape. That and the fact that the pump presses against a large section of the gun's shell make for an extremely sturdy pump. I think the gun also looks a lot better now, especially with the insulator padded foregrip. Thoughts?
#24773 Unnamed Eab Creation
Posted by Vassili on 24 April 2004 - 09:35 PM in Modifications
I finally decided to get off my lazy ass and finish one of my old projects. This gun has been made from scraps of many assorted things, but the valve is from a supersoaker (CPS 1000) and the pump is from a Larami 2000 (Sm5k lookalike). In case you were wondering the T-coupler on the back makes up most of the airtank. Range is very good, quite a distance past 100 feet, but the main thing I love is the velocity and accuracy. I have never seen another gun shoot with with the same velocity and accuracy as this one. ROF is also very good, thanks to the breach that I cut out of the shell. The only problem I have with this gun is that the pumping is a little awkward. Any input on where to relocate it is gratefully accepted. I couldn't stand the bright yellow pump handle, so that and the EaB trigger got painted black.

Even Satan would reject you. You're just so...unwanted.Ok i know this is probably going to get me banned but cx's post put me over the edge
Cxwq, Fuck you alright
Jesus Christ what have you done with your life
your a 32 year old man who still plays with nerf guns
your whole life amounts to a giant pile of bullshit
just because this thread has people posting intelligent thoughts that are way above your IQ to understand gives you no right to shit on it like that
if you want to be a dictator and limit free speech and censor people then by all means do it its your site. but i for one will not stand for it.
as the great Voltaire once said
"I disagree with what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it"
