#61835 The Better Nerf Grenade

That little weapon has very little chance of going nuclear, and It's not at all like the bomb droped on Hiroshima (I don't have a clue about nagasaki) The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was pretty much a big naval gun, that fired a slug made of uranium at point-blank range into a bigger hunk of uranium. (enriched uranium, mind you)\2.) For a crude nuclear device, get a big box, preferably made of steel. You will need to get your hands on a plutonium core (the trickiest part). Suspend your plutonium core in your box and center it. Then you must evenly line your box with conventional explosives (TNT, dynamite, fireworks, something of this sort). Lastly, you must be able to detonate your conventional explosives simultaneously. By doing so, you cause the plutonium core to implode on itself and begin a nuclear chain reaction (similar to the bomb used on Nagasaki, Aug 9th 1945).
Now, more seriously,
I think nerf grenades would have a place on the nerf battlefield, if one could be designed that would actually work well, was a handlable size, and was easily reusable. as for this design, I personally don't think it's much of an improvement over the ol' spring grenades, because alot of care must be taken in the construction and reuse of these chemical ones. and they don't strike me as more functional either.

okey, that didn't quite come out the right way, I'm, saying always repair it with something (like metal), that's stronger than the origional materials.I say, when a gun breaks, repair it with something stronger than what it was origionally made of. (steel)
Cool, nerf guns are made of steel now! Awesome. Thats so fascinating!
Solvent welding, heat welding, metal bracing, and top-of-the-line epoxy. That'll fix it.

you first, superglue, three spacers about 5/8" (prefferably made of metal) onto the bottom of a two-liter bottle with the lable removed.I meant to say compact but I might go with CO2 unless the soda bottle idea works... What do you mean by nesting a 2 liter inside a 3 liter?
Next, you take a brass fitting that will screw onto the bottleneck, and will extend well above the rim of a three liter bottle, and plumber's goop it on.
After that, cut a 3 liter bottle's top off, right above where the label used to be.
Following, place the 2-liter bottle inside the bottom of the three liter bottle.
Next, fill the gap between the two bottles with epoxy resin.
before the epoxy really starts to set, (you should use the stuff that takes 12 hours to harden) duct tape the top part back on the 3-liter bottle.
Next, fill that gap with more epoxy, until it's exactly to the brim of the three liter bottle.
Finally, drill a hole in the three-liter bottle's cap that lets it fit over the brass fitting, screw it on, seal it, and let the shtuff set for a couple days.
There you have it, a very neato, relatively high-pressure tank.
I personally haven't tried this because I can't afford that much epoxy, (1 liter
)

You could also try solvent welding, but I'm not sure there's enough surface area on the break.

When I hear "rerelease" I think of "Airjet Power Plus" Meybe they'll return the Wildfire, or perhaps the fastblast. I dunno, I wasn't the one who went to Hasbro HQ. (obviously)
All I can say is, the new blasters can't come soon enough, the mav was a bit of a letdown.

plugging the pump on an at2k hops the range an easy 30'If your going to use the gun and you know your not going to overpump it you shouldn't blow the tank, but if you loan guns to people don't plug the pump. Also the range isn't more than 5-10 ft more with a plugged pump.busted tanks can be fixed and I'd say the range is worth it. Just dont overpump it.

I don't know what you mean by "comcast", but at a camping store I saw 20oz camping fuel tanks that might make fair air tanks. If you know how, you can nest a 2 liter bottle inside a 3 liter and fill the gap with epoxy. That'll hold plenty of pressure.Well, is there any other type of Air-tank that is comcast and holds a fair amount of P.S.I.?

sounds like your barrel is too long. Try shortening it.When I use a pvc gun, I noticed that it seemed to work better when the dart was up front. A friend told me to stick it down there and it would shot better. Anyway, I didn't cause that is not what I saw in my gun.

once in a while, my parent's computer speakers will pick up the radio signals of passing planes. (we live a handful of miles from an airport)I've had that voice thing happen once, and only once. My dad, my brother and I were playing Perfect Dark on our N64 and all of the sudden we heard voices. It was this real deep voice, like some guy talking, and we (since we don't know anything about electronics) figured we were picking up a signal from a radio or something. That was pretty cool. But after about thirty seconds it went away.

I was about to say, is this the same person who auctioned the "haunted ducky" with the green sharpie mark and the neato story?I thought the Demon Ducky was more entertaining, but thats just me.
The voices could be weak signal, and some signal from the regular TV is breaking through.
I also think It's foolish to pay any more for something that's supernaturally faulty.

what patents of blasters do you hold?
How much time/resources go into the creation of a new gun?
Where do you get your springs?
Where do you get your o-rings?
What is your best selling gun?
Do you think you could get away with putting links to nerf devotees' sites on your official website?
Do you actually have any problems with us reverse-engineering your guns and turning them into ministers of death? (as long as noone sues)
Any plans for Spring-powered primary weapons?
Do you consider Lanard a threat?
Do you consider Buzz-Bee toys a threat?
About how many units of nerf blasters do you sell annually?
Do your engineers browse the forums often?
Are you planning replacements for the Hornet/Titan in the N-strike system?
Do you have spare parts of discontinued guns laying around? and if so, would you mind selling them to the NIC.
Might you be so willing as to sell certain malformed/dysfunctional/broken guns to the NIC for parts?
What softwre do you use to design nerf guns?
Can you sell the foam you use for making darts to the NIC?
could you release packs of these glow-in-the-dark darts I've heard about coming with your new N-strike blaster, early?
Do you think the Nerf movies (like the Armagedon videos on NH) would make good advertising?
Is Nerf Arenablast still available? Are you considering a sequel? (perhaps for the N-strike set?)
What kinds of plastic do you use in the construction of various blasters?
Why on earth did you design the Maverick to let it's magazine swing out only 1/2" or so?
Will you ever release a blaster with a holster?
Can you show us some concept drawings of possible guns?
Will you give factory tours?
Was the N-Strike Inspired by Halo?
Is Nerf one of your staple brands, or is it more on the edges?
If we scare enough people with nerf guns, do you think they'll arm themselves accordingly?
Whew! that's alot of questions!

I remember "Nerf" being refered to as some kind of substance, I don't remember where though.

Until it breaks...
then, You've got to *sniff* Single barrel it.
Generally, It'll get in the neighborhood of 40-70' on one or two pumps,
(but if you put massive barrels on it, and terribly overpump it, you're knocking on the door of singled, brassed 2K's ranges.)
One'll last generally, a war or two, before you start having problems. (depending on how bad you thrash it)

Normally:
RF20 primary, Tek 10 secondary, Tek 6 sidearm, SSPB backup
or
Hornet primary, AT2K secondary, Tek 10 secondary, no sidearms, no backups.
If I'm going in light:
no primary, Tek 10 secondary, tek 6 sidearm
or
RF20 primary, no secondary, no sidearm, Twin Tek backup
If I just want to blow the shit out of everything:
Rf20 primary, Hornet primary, Tek 10 secondary, AT2K secondary, Tek 6 sidearm, no backups.
or
Razorbeast primary, Tek 10 secondary, Tek 6 sidearm, Twin Tek backup.
(all this doesn't hamper my movement much, since I don't move that fast to begin with.)
if I have to share my guns, well, I'm unhappy.

let alone that, but if Hal wants to get the site back to anything near its former self, he's got,all relevance NO had was the sum of its users. Without Spoon, Vacc, Zero, Sniper5k, Yakman, etc, NO is... absolutely nothing.
*counts on fingers*
... erm
*does math on paper*
... uh
*uses calculator*
GYAAAH!
well, something to the tune of nearly 3 years of articles, mods, etc. to catch up on.
at least it would be relatively neat for us to have NO back as it was back then. (believe it or not, I was there right as the ship was sinking)
#47890 Rf20 Regulators

Homemades
I assume by "regulators" you are referring to the valve used for the selective fire of the RF20, because besides that, there are no "regulators" on the gun.I got the regulators off of my friend's RF20.
*snip*
buthow do you make teh airtank and regulators work together.
*snip*
~Sinfil
as for a PVC airtank, well,
the bladder was used to provide constant pressure to the firing mechanism, if you were to use a pvc, or other solid-walled airtank, You'd have the pressure start strong and drop off quickly.
however, if you used something like regulated Co2, you'd be better off.
These might suit your needs if you decide to go to Co2
as for clip feeding your RF20, unless you're doing a standard turret mod, it'll be next to impossible to clip feed it.

well, the tools we're talking about are for heavier-duty springs than you can easily cut with pliers. (perhaps 12-guage)Wow... My needlenose pliers have a little cutter part in them, and taht seems to work fine for me to cut springs. Either that or using the pliers to bend/twist teh spring until it breaks. I've never even thought of getting special spring-cutting tools.
one thing I found with cut springs is that they wear away at the internal plastic of your gun because of the now-sticking-out, cut end.
what ever happened to bungies?
