#242100 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

And a little preview of a WIP I'm modding for Francesca:
Again, sorry for the horrible pic quality, these guns are a lot prettier in person.

My new sidearm:
Gets awesome ranges, I'd guess about 75 feet. Dead accurate, too.
Pardon the horrible picture quality, this was taken from my webcam, not my good camera.

It's funny you made that, because about a month ago I was drawing up blueprints of how I would make something just like that, except deodorant-clipped. I quit because I thought the stock would be much too hard for me to make since I don't have a scroll saw or anything, but I applaud you for making this.My cousin paid me to make this for him. We are going to give it an awesome paint job today and it has a brass breach. NEW paint job. Try to
imagine metallic blue(all sparkly) and half of the back part of the gun black and this is no ordinary black it is a chalkboard!

6" 9/16 brass barrel, cut-down DT3 spring addition, minor reinforcements. Semi-fluorescent green crackle finish paintjob, black(cough)e-tape(coughcough) accents. Eight PETG ammo holders added on. Gets (EDIT)65 feet on an empty clip, 80 on a full one.(/EDIT) Amazingly comfortable, thanks to the grip extension. Sometimes the loading on the RSCB is a little finicky, since my darts don't have a really loose fit in copper, and you have to shake it to get the darts to go down, but for the most part it's fine. Most definitely my favorite gun.
And my Doomsayer, 10 inch barrels:
Meh. Not really my style. A little too complicated for me, feels like it's about to fall apart, and kind of uncomfortable. Ranges are pretty screwed up, anywhere from 60-100+, I think I somehow screwed up the seal/plunger. Never got around to putting rear loading on the left side, either. Still a pretty nice primary though.

My new Scorpion Bow, basic mods. Hitting... maybe 80-ish? I'm never quite sure, but the ranges are pretty good. Soon to get a Big Salvo/Splitfire integration if I can find the right parts. Thanks to thedarksideofnerf for supplying me with this beast.

I happened to stumble upon a AT2K at Tuesday Morning (the only one there, and for $6.99, too!) and this is what happened to it. Shoots good and far, and the ROF is great, of couse, thanks to the clip. Probably my new primary.
And an FPS view...
EDIT: Woah, WAAAAY too big of pics... Resized.

Almost finished, all I need is barrels (mediumwall PETG) but those have been pretty tough to find lately. To test the power, I held a piece of thickwall PETG, which has a springer-fit on my darts, up to the turret, and it still fired further than just about any other gun I own. In short, this thing is redonkulous.
#197832 Modifying A Longshot?
Posted by Salmon on 21 December 2008 - 07:22 PM in Modifications
I'm PETGing my LS like that, but instead of just sticking a stub of smaller PETG/brass/copper in the breech, I've cut the most of the breech off as one would do with an Angel breech. I think this should work out but I just want to make sure, so does anyone know of any reason it wouldn't work?Thanks a bunch TatumBull. I now have a fully working petg'ed LS with the stock breach. I'll post pics in a sec.
EDIT: Pics are here
*big pics with descriptions of said pics*
Few things I'm going to answer here. The 1/2" petg was bought at petland. It has e-tape over it to create a better seal with the 9/16. Yes I cut off the stock breach head because it was unnecessary and got in the way of the 9/16.

It says its in stock now! Time to meticulously look over every single inch of the nearest Wal-Marts and Targets for them....I found this:
http://www.hasbrotoy...R=582&pn=browse
...and thought everyone would like to see it. Yeah, just another place to buy it, but this one is the value pack with extra ammo & strap. Still not available yet, but I thought it was worth posting. I found it interesting that the value pack one in the link and the regular one with 1 chain were both the same price.

"Value Includes:
- 25 darts
- ammo belt
-shoulder strap"
and in the picture it has a an ammo belt and a double-ended hook-thing? This explains how in the pictures the kid had the belts around him "Rambo-style". And I hate to speculate, but this also means that this could be used to attach to things like straps, belt loops, or even possibly another ammo belt.
EDIT: The main picture of the gun also includes the double-ended hook-thing.

you can see a part of the hyperfire box. It looks like a repackaged dart tag set with a different colour blaster, but we still don't know what the mini blasters are.
The Hyperfire set is a part of the Dart Tag line. The mini blasters likely are repackaged Crossfires.

#141106 The Vulcan
Posted by Salmon on 18 February 2008 - 06:24 PM in General Nerf
Ok, so here are my thoughts
I'm scared of what FA_24's going to do.
Ok, time for me to put in some more input, so
1) There are 27 links on the chain. 25 of them can hold darts. The two on either end apparently are bolt-thingys.
2) The AR's shouldnt be too hard to drill out, and besides, you act like you didn't expect there to be any AR's.
3) I think they might have developed a new kind of dart, since the darts flying out of the gun on the box don't seem like screamer darts.
4) FA-24 might not even do a mod for this if it isn't good.
EDIT: Dang, OberonFox beat me to the first point I made.

If you can't see that writing, here's what it says:
"What is that? It can't be a handle, and the ugly mullet kid is looking through it, so it must be a sight or something. But why isn't it on the actual product???"
And I know some of you might be thinking, "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" or whatever right now, but some people might not have recognized this. I didn't.

CS-6: Clip Shooter-6 darts

Back on topic, this thing sounds like a mini-beast. Might be hard to mod.

Oh boy. I was right.
EDIT: Ohmigod. It's that simple to connect the chains? I am loving this gun more and more every sentence I read about it.

#213191 New Raider CS-35 Speculation Thread
Posted by Salmon on 17 February 2009 - 11:51 PM in General Nerf
Touché.But then, if I'm understanding you, it'd be as bad as a push-pull gun, except with a spring. You mean that its just pulling back the plunger and releasing it? I somehow don't think that would work.
The Nerf Bow N Arrow.
So, a pull-and-release kind of thing.
I can see that.
Couldn't be very accurate though...

But then, if I'm understanding you, it'd be as bad as a push-pull gun, except with a spring. You mean that its just pulling back the plunger and releasing it? I somehow don't think that would work.In response to all the "it fires when the handle is forward", I had an epiphany today.
It's only coincidence that it does that.
When you prime the plunger, normally, it hits a catch. Well, if you hold down the trigger, the catch is non-existant. From there, it's like a ratchet: It goes over the pump handle the one way, and when you pull back, it's caught for the full stroke.
Just speculation, but it would seem to be a new idea...
And, to VACC, I wasn't here during the Vulcan craze, so don't kill me, please?

#236802 Bladder Indicator Light.
Posted by Salmon on 16 June 2009 - 05:26 PM in Modifications
Yeah, I used a Dremel 200 for the longest time, simply assuming fumes came along with cutting plastic. Then I discovered it was actually melting the plastic slightly, and quickly switched to a 300 model. They go from 5,000-35,000 RPM, and can cut plastic with little-to-no fumes until you get past setting 4, which is supposed to be ~12,000 RPM. Since you say your Dremel is a single speed, that single speed is probably as high as the highest speed on other Dremels, which makes it even worse of an idea to cut plastic with one.Excellent mod, and cool gun. And to think all this time, I'd been ripping out those little lasers in NFs, thinking they were useless...
Also, I have to ask, is that a Dremel 200 I spy in those pictures? If so, I would NOT recommend using them for cutting plastic. Their lowest speed is 15,000 RPM, which in my experience makes plastic melt and fume like crazy.
Thanks. It's a Dremel 100 actually. It has a single speed and it does make plastic fume a bit with the cut-off wheel and quite a bit more with the sanding drum. I thought this was normal. What do you recommend? I try to always work in a well ventilated area but I suppose if my kids come out with 6 eyeballs and webbed feet, I know what to blame it on...
A Dremel 400 should work to, as will a Dremel Stylus, but a 400 is really expensive and cordless Dremels like the Stylus suck.

#276545 N-strike Barrel Break Ix-2
Posted by Salmon on 31 May 2010 - 11:34 PM in News
EDIT: Forgot to mention one thing that makes me think it might be normal-plungered. Look at the end of the gun, on the silver part. It tapers inward. This, I believe, would make a reverse plunger set-up impossible, assuming of course that the plunger(s) take up the full width of the shell.
