#289688 Screwdriver To Open Longshot

Too small? Mine are always too big, only one is the perfect size. Sorry, no pics, I'm in bed with my iPod.

Yes, even though I have done other things to this gun not listed here.

Considering your hand's on most of the mass, that shouldn't be a problem.

This is a simple mod, but it could mess up your gun if "your doin it wrong". It is basically a cut down Stampede, which increases range and decreases weight.

Take a hacksaw, and follow this picture. Green dots indicate when to start cutting, and blue dots show where to stop. Ignore the blue line, I forgot to switch back to black.

Because I can hit a target at maximum range, it is also considered effective range. In ballstic firearms, this is the range used. Also, sorry, I did not know you used flat ranges, I will later.

Range is how far the gun shoots, at max.

If you don't care, then why did you post the topic? If those ranges are real, how exactly are you getting the string attached to a PT without uneven advancement, therefore killing the seal? (unrelated: lakewoodz, check your pms. i see you on there.)

The plunger consist of a long and skinny metal rod, with a ring of E tape. It is bent around the string to hold it.

I use sonic dart with it. They won't kill someone.

What, the goal is to not have a nerf gun to fire farther? Excuse me. I'm not the one who puts lead weights into modified darts and fires them at people. A rubber dart, even fired at this velocity, is not going to hurt. What the hell do I have to do? Make something that fires exactly x feet and x fps?

To his defence however, some people(bob) have stressed that bow powered blasters can be dangerously powerful, and kane admitted that he can make his Aabow dangerously powerful with slugs. So his ranges still be possible. But looking at the picture, the PT (I think?) looks pretty small.

The bow is about 3.5 feet tall when strung, the plunger rod is 1.25 feet long. I'm not sure how much PSI the bow holds, although it is pretty strong.

Are those ranges flat? If so I'm calling shenanigans, Gentlemen, get your brooms

No, 45 degree angle.

Yeah, I bet you I could throw the bow that far.
What?
I'm saying your ranges are completely bullshit.

Why the hell would I lie about ranges? It's a real, hunting bow. 180 feet is the range I'm getting, get over yourself.

Picture is up, this is one before the string snapped, I still have to restring it.

I'm pretty sure I'm the first to do this, and the results are incredible. Here's the link for the picture.

So what did I do? I took a real life bow, attatched PVC piping, and fabricating a plunger attached to the string. It's insane. Ranges go around 180+ feet. Not lying. In fact, the bow string broke on me, and as soon as I replace it I'll get pictures up. Don't lock this Talio, just wait.

#285216 Stampede Ammo Counter

Have you seen the Mana Potions Vulcan mod?
Wouldn't it be great it we could get an ammo counter into the Stampede?

Broderick,
It does, but not too much, and it's still possible to hold. I find it more effective to hold the gun with both hands at the pistol grip, becasue the center mass of the gun is there.

Maverick,
That would be a great attachment, the only problem would be finding reverse rails.

That's a good idea, and it actualey wouldn't add too much height. But the main problem is the upside down clips, as darts tend to fall out of them.

The new Stampede magazines are great, but can be a pain to carry. I thought of a way to have all three carried at once, and helps to reload.
I'm not sure if this has been done before, but here it is.

First, take your three magazines and place them a little more than one inch apart, and put a one inch block of wood in between them, as shown in the picture. (I used normal clips in this pic, but its the same as extended clips)

Place the blocks where the white and red rectangles are. You may want to double sided tape them in place, but this is optional.
Then wrap tape (I used electrical, because it looks best) around the clip starting from the ridge near the top and traveling about 3-4 inches down. You can also wrap tape between the clips to close everything in. When finished, it should look like this:

When put in the gun, it looks like this:

An easy, yet effective, mod. Questions or comments?

#284971 Mod Guide To The Stampede Ecs

Posted by Floppyjack on 06 September 2010 - 08:20 PM in Modifications

You may know some people have gotten Stampedes early, me being one of them. After toying around with it, I opened it up, and found out the best way to mod it. Because it is completely powered by a motor, the Stampede can only pull so much force, so there is a fine margin between it not firing, and being underpowered. I've found that the best spring to use is a stretched out Nightfinder spring. I know it is extremely erotic to stretch out springs, but by torching them and dunking them in water, they retain their shape. The AR is quite familiar, but alot smaller in comparison to other blasters, even to a Nightfinder. I chose to drill out mine, as it is pretty risk-free. Also, be aware that adding a more powerful spring will cause to gun to shoot significantly slower, but a 9v battery and aligator clips should fix that. Just replace one of the D batteries with the 9v, and RoF is almost normal. This slower shooting speed can be helpful, though, as it gives the magazine more time to chamber a new dart, reducing jams. With these mods, you can expect to get around 70 feet flat, and 100 angled. I'm not sure if an Angel Breech is possible, but I'm not really into barrel or breech replacements.

How the gun works:
It's been unknown to many people of how the Stampede works, but it's actually a pretty ingenious design. The plunger is stationary, and already on the catch. When the trigger is suppressed, the bolt assembly and plunger tube move forward, compressing the spring. When the bolt reaches the closed point, the catch releases, causing the plunger to go forward, firing the dart. Another spring pushes the entire assembly back into the default position.

I'll try to get pictures up tommorow if possible.

#284468 Bolt Release

Posted by Floppyjack on 31 August 2010 - 09:12 PM in Modifications

Let's be totally honest here; this idea is 100% stupid, unnecessary, and retarded.

I know you're trying to make a superoverkillomfg gun, but you really don't need it. If you seriously have performed an AR removal, spring replacement, and brass breech, then I'd toss this thing in the 'Done' pile. Doing what you're trying to do is pointless, and is inevitably just going to add more bulk.

Trust me on that.

I'll be honest and say that this idea is not a bad one. I also do not like the idea of having to push the bolt back forward when you have your clip in. Nerf is about innovation, not copying whatever everyone else has done. You say that this is pointless, yet you have no good reason. Floppyjack, do what you want to do.

Exactly, if something helps at all, why not do it? It's never been done before either. I could add a torsion spring attached to the bolt and a stationary piece, so just flicking the bolt forward will unlock and load it.

What else am I supposed to do with a longstrike?
I don't know, AR removal, spring replacement, oh and a brass breech sound like good ideas.

All are already done.

#284429 Bolt Release

Posted by Floppyjack on 31 August 2010 - 04:40 PM in Modifications

If you don't know already, this is a button which throws the bolt forward when pressed.
This might be a dumb question, but isn't that the trigger?
No, the trigger makes the plunger go forward, this makes the bolt sled go forward.

What's the point of having a release, when you are just gonna release it anyways before you shoot? Nerfdartsmith21 is right, you should just have an extension spring, rubber band or something in there to make the bolt go forward. No need for a release.

And when I need to reload?

#284418 Bolt Release

Posted by Floppyjack on 31 August 2010 - 03:00 PM in Modifications

I'm currently working on a bolt release system for my Longstrike. If you don't know already, this is a button which throws the bolt forward when pressed. So to load a round, I only have to pull back the bolt, and press the release button. I got it to work by adding a spring to the bolt sled, and adding a release mech. with a longshot trigger system.
