FH that is a really nice AT3K. The stock is well-made, and the paint job makes it look really good. I like the black PVC over the turret, it looks neat how you can't see the barrels until the end in the picture. I wonder how it would look with a pump extended out like the AT2K pump...

I normally don't do this... but this one is special: Preview of My Next PJ/Mod. I won't tell you anything else. 6 Billion Bonus Points if you can I.D. What Gun This Is.
-Bags
It's gonna be something rediculous... Like a Nitefinder.
The only other gun I can think of right now that has a removeable front piece is the Longshot...
And I'm liking the paintjob on that barrel. It's nice to see some awsome bright, neon paintjobs.

Ok, got the pictures up.
First, my 2 Crossfires. The paint needs to be redone, they're all scratched up from being tossed around. The barrels are 17/32" brass. They go probably around 45'.
My PETG'd SM750. This thing shoots pretty well, with about 6 pumps it gets around 100'. Though this was with thinner, really worn down darts. My newer batch of darts will probably get better results.
My new Pumpshot Gun. It's got pretty much all the mods on the Level 2 mod for it, minus the rubber foam in the front of the plunger tube. The barrel is sanded out PETG so 17/32" brass could fit in there, then the outside has been sanded so it can fit inside the 19/32" brass. I also have 2 of the stock springs in there as well as a spring from ACE. This one actually works really well. With the same thin, worn down darts, it hits about 115'.
My Magstrike. It's got one clip with 17/32" brass barrels, and 3 clips waiting to be PETG'd.
PETG'd SSII. I've got an idea for this one. I still gotta see if it'll work out. Might see more on this one later.
And, lastly, the internals of my in-progress NiteMav. I've been working on this one for a little while. The turret has 17/32" brass barrels and the Nitefinder plunger tube has a cut down Handyman spring in it.

Alrighty, I'll throw a few of my guns in here.
First off, my Pump Shotgun, with it's 3 different barrels. Going from top to bottom are 1. My original barrel I use in wars 2. Barrel used for shooting stock darts 3. My double barrel, inspired by Cmdrmack's Bigger Salvo mod.
Second, my Longshot, with a detachable Maglite on the rail which you will hear more about later. I put one of those Homedepot springs along with the stock spring and did the barrel mod SPU-Nerf did. I'm not sure about ranges, but I can't use one hand to prime it because only the side I'm pulling back will go back far enough to catch, while the other drags behind a tiny bit.
And, lastly, the thing I have been most recently working on...
Inspired by Nerfer34's Nitefinder. I wanted something like it, but not a copy. I think I did a good job.
It's a Nitefinder, chopped down to a much more compact size, with a Homedepot spring replacement, craft foam at the end of the plunger head, and a 4-point-something inch brass barrel replacement. The brass is covered in 1/2" PVC and I put a larger piece of PVC over that for a silencer, which is completely cosmetic. And it has that Maglite on the rail which you will hear even more about just a little bit later. This is also my second attempt at a paint job, which, in my opinion, is a huge improvement over the first. I had an inch or two of left over brass, so I made brass ammo holders where the batteries used to be, which I did not take a picture of. I guess you can see a tiny bit of one of them in that picture.
Here's a picture of it with the Maglite detached.
For the Maglite I cut apart that useless Longshot scope thing and took the gray rail piece, scrapping the rest of the scope. Then I found these little orange rings, I think they were pump caps to a couple super soakers I recently attempted to mod. With a little dremeling, they fit around the Maglite perfectly. I gooped those on to the gray rail attachment piece, then slid the Maglite through.
And I made a holster that fits suprisingly well saying I did a poor job on measuring dimensions and cutting the cardboard. It worked great in the war I had a couple weeks ago. Everyone had to either hold their sidearm, try and stuff it in a pocket, or not carry a sidearm at all. I happily stuck my new sidearm in my holster.
And it looks like I need to put another coat of paint on the bottom of the handle there.

I'm not exactly sure about this, but wouldn't cutting the end of your barrel like that on the AT2K make your darts fly down because of uneven pressure?

That's pretty nice z80. I've never seen that gun before.
I think getting rid of that vinyl tubing and connecting the airtank directly to the turret will increase ranges by a bit.
I have Vinyl connecting the turret to the airtank. It's pretty nice, gets decent range with good ROF.

My predictions of the usefulness of this gun based on modded ranges:
60- feet: Useless, just get a Magstrike
60-70 ft.: Okay weapon but not practical
70-80 ft.: Could be used by raiders and automatic weapon enthusiasts
80-90 ft.: At least one of these will make it into each team
90-100 ft.: Machine gunners will be prominent on the battlefield.
100+ ft.: This weapon will be banned at most wars for being against the spirit of Nerf.
More like
50'-60': Pretty good, usable in a war, good flag defense.
60'-70': Great primary, amazing flag defense.
70'-80': Crazy primary, capable of taking out many many people.
90'-100': Ridiculous, dominates everything.
I'd use it if it shot 40'.
Hook it up to a tripod and give it a slight angle.
Base defense.

Personally, I was really excited to see a chain gun coming out. I have always wanted a Razorbeast, but they're too expensive to get with a decent amount of chains, plus I heard they are the worst of the 3 chain guns. I really like the crank over the push-pull though.
When I say the battery part, I was pretty pissed.
But I guess there could be potential, batteries don't automatically mean something like the Tommy 20. It could pull back a plunger like in many Airsoft guns. The only real way to find out is to just wait.

My hopes for this gun just shot back up.
Looks like it's not a flywheel design, and it looks like it could have decent ranges. The back of the gun looks fairly large, and I like the handle on top for a complete mini-gun feel. That tripod looks absolutely tiny though. It'll be loud, but if it gets set up for base defending, noise really doesn't matter.
If anyone watches that American Gladiators thing, they can guess stock ranges, assuming they will be firing the gun...

The screws are 5/8's long.
... ...
I found out today that if I shoot them close range out of a BBB, it will make a slight dent in the wall... So I am still searching for a safe,fast,cheap,good safedart. I have tried Ruffstuff Safe Darts, Foam tipped darts, Stefans with felt tip and a few others... it seems that I will never find a good safe dart...
How long are your darts? If they're around 1" long, then 5/8" screws would be way too long. But assuming your darts are somewhere around 2", I think the screw length isn't your problem.
Your felt tipped darts are denting walls? Wow. Either that is one really high powered gun, or your walls are made of cardboard. My Pump Shotgun shooting hotglue tipped CDTS's might dent walls a little. I haven't tried. Though I know it takes some paint off the walls, that one was discovered from accidentally pulling the trigger.

Yeah. You really should secure the screw so it wont come out. Even if the chances of the screw coming out are slim, there's still the possibility. And your how long are the screws? If they are too long, then your darts won't fly right.

I've got these in the mail right now. Though shipping was more than I thought, it's still a really good deal. I think it ended up being like $12, but you get a case of 650. And they don't have those wing pieces on them.

Try and by the weights that dont have those wings. Those wings are only good for putting your dart off balance or tearing skin if it shoots out of the dome.
Oh, I got the wrong weights... Are they called something different? Or do I just have to look for packs with the ones without the wings?
I guess it's a good thing I only got 2 packs...

Just wondering. I have always used only hot glue weights and my darts preform fine. Would CS's darts preform better, or should I just stick with my method?
If you use lower powered guns, your darts will work fine. If you want to use higher powered guns, the weights will keep your darts from spinning out and landing 10 feet in front of you.
I have never seen or tried CS's darts, so I can't tell you from experience. I don't think I've seen one person say he's had troubles with CS's darts. So I'm almost positive they will work great. Just make sure you cut the foam straight, so, like CS said, your darts will be "aerodynamically uniform". Cuts that aren't square will lead to unreliable darts.
CaptainSlug: If you have already tested each of your darts, which perform better for you, the converted ones or the FBR ones?

I used to use Frost King foam. But, unfortunatly, they are extremely unreliable on sizes. The first batch of foam I got (that was a long time ago) was a not-too-dark-or-too-light shade of gray and was pretty thin, and would have a very loose fit in 9/16" brass. The 2nd batch was a dark gray and seemed like it had little bubbles all through it, looking much less dense than the first batch. It was also quite a bit thicker, making a tight fit in 9/16" brass. And my most recent and final batch of Frost King fbr, was a much lighter gray, and was very tight in 9/16" brass.

Yeah, cut a some lengths of 4-5' of the foam, wrap duct tape on each end, then hang it from something with a weight attached to the bottom to stretch it out. Leave it there for a couple weeks and your foam will be straight and thinner.

Nice video. Definitely going to help me. Did you close the fishing weight just by pushing it? Or did you heat it up?
Also, my 3/0 fishing weights have little things coming off the bottom, did yours have those too?
And, of course, the mask looks great.

You might be able to do that, but instead of waiting that long, get a blowdryer, set it on high, and blowdry the foam while it's stretching. That might cause it to stretch out and straighten faster. Thought I'm not completely sure if it'll work or not.

1/2" Sch. 40 PVC will fit 5/8" FBR. If it's too thin, putting in the drier for like 10 minutes should make them expand a little bit.

A question about your shells... You are using 1/2" sch. 40 PVC, right? What is that they are fitting into? Is that 3/4" thinwall or something?

Is your shotgun going to fire off multiple darts? Or is it just going to work like a shotgun?
Post some pictures if you decide your going to make it. I have though about making a shotgun that would shoot off multiple darts. What I came up with was one big cylinder with multiple shells loaded in it, then when you shot it, all the darts would come out of those shells. But I don't think that would work too well because it would ranges of no more than 20', which makes it pointless unless your rushing a group or somthing.

So I'm somewhat excited for it.
I really do like that it's a clipped pistol (when all the accessories are removed) and I like that it isn't a remake of another gun. Though with all the accessories, it really does look a lot like one.
If the ranges aren't as good as the Longshot, believe it or not, I'll be pretty happy. I don't think a sidearm capable of shooting ~100' is going to be very cool. High RoF plus high range pretty much makes it superior to all other guns out there.
I would be most happy if it shot right around 60'. I'm sure people are going to disagree, but it's just what I think.
I do like how it can be disassembled, that could make some neat scenario games (like someone stated earlier).
Actually, if you want a really crazy integration, integrate this into another gun.
Though it's probably bigger than it looks. I'll guess it's a little longer than the Maverick, but less bulky and more holster-able (without the clip).
So yeah, pretty neat.

I've been calling other stores now that Target is getting them and the results are...
Target-Yes
Walmart-No
Kohls- No
I talked to the one shipment manager at TRU and he said if the release date on Amazon was Dec 15. They would probaly get them in around Jan 3, based on previous Amazon items. So all we know for sure is that certain Targets have them, TRU might get them before other stores do, and they will be availible sometime during spring.
P.S. Target had 4 on the shelf. I didnt get a RC yet cus Im hoping to get one for Christmas.
What state is this in?

I think if we're going to go so much into detail about restrictions on the gun, it should just be banned. I'm still all for not allowing them. Just about every gun has its own ups and downs. Magstrikes have great rate of fire, but lack range, so you can beat that by staying out of that player's range. Crossbows have great range, but lack rate of fire, so you can beat that by grouping, rushing, or just avoiding that one shot. But Doomsayers have superior range and rate of fire... What can you do against that? And keeping the same amount of Doomsayers on each team just makes teams balanced, not the individual players. If I don't have a Doomsayer, then I have to try to avoid the person on the other team with one until my team's Doomsayer shows up to even it out.
I don't see how it's a big deal if they are banned. This war is still like four months away. That's more than enough time to pick out and modify a new primary. And just with the thought of allowing them, we already have people stopping their current projects to go out and buy a RFSG just because they know they're overpowered. Personally, I love seeing variety at the wars. I think it's really neat to see what everyone prefers to use at the wars and I like to see the individual play styles. It makes people more unique and the wars more interesting and more fun. I would way rather see teams with Longshots, Magstrikes, Airtechs, Supermaxxes, and a whole variety of other guns than just straight Doomsayers.
My vote stays at ban them 100%.

Okay, I just got done looking through the thread for twenty minutes, and I don't a single post stating that we are going to run the war off "home field rules".
I thought the voting system worked out the best. It's best to appeal to the masses, and that's exactly what we were doing. If you want to bring your RSFGs to test them out at the war, then I think that's alright. But I don't think they should be automatically legal just because we voted to have the war at the same place W@M is hosted.
If it's assumed that we're having home field rules, does that mean you are going to allow shields? Because I'm sure as hell there will be an overwhelming majority vote against that.
Once again, I think we should just bring them to the war, then give them some test shots. Then we will vote again. People who are still against them will stand on one side, and the people for them will stand on the other. I'd say that's much more fair than a single person deciding what goes.
I thought the voting system worked out the best. It's best to appeal to the masses, and that's exactly what we were doing. If you want to bring your RSFGs to test them out at the war, then I think that's alright.

I have never seen anyone use one, or even heard of one, so I'd say bring it and test it out. I'm sure most people would say the same.

I think he was talking about a backup location if something were to happen. I think looking into schools near Marymoor park would be a great idea. Having the war on a Monday drastically reduces chances of a soccer game or some other event going on at a school.

Put me down as a no, too.
Nothing really to be said about it, as you already addressed my issues with them.

The area at Marymoor was pretty empty, and we never had any problems with using it, aside from that concert landing on the same day. It was sort of divided into sections (area closest to the parking lot, middle area with the big building, furthest out area with the little shelter), these areas could be adjusted depending on how many people make it (ex: Middle area only, or middle and parking lot areas only).
I have never seen Seaward park, so I don't know how the location will be. If anyone lives near there, going out and taking some pictures would be great.
The only real concern I have is if we get kicked out of one area, what would we do then? Do either Marymoor or Seaward have a backup location nearby?

Marymoor is pretty open, but I think it can add to the game. It forces people to move a lot, and keeps the pace fast. At the first W@M, we did some rounds with 3 or 4 teams of 3 and it moved really fast and played really well.
I'd take too little cover over too much cover.

Generally, with nerf guns, a high ROF has trade offs, as does high ranges. Most guns with high ranges don't have an extremely good ROF. Guns with a good ROF, don't usually hit the century mark. The doomsayer is one of the only exceptions to these general facts about modified blasters. Something that can send 12 pieces of foam 100 feet away in 12 seconds is cheap in my book, no matter who's wielding it. It upsets the fairness of the game when most people have 2K's, BBB's, PAS's, BBBB's, SM 1.5K's, and X-Bows.
I agree 100%.
But you are right in that the gun doesn't make the nerfer.
Maybe so, but it's definitely getting closer.

I have a whole bunch of guns I'd be looking to sell. I'd have to go check, but I know I have 3 SuperMaxx 1500's, a SuperMaxx 750, an old style Nitefinder or two, and a whole assortment of modded guns I no longer use.
And about the ball gun round, would a Titan modded to fire balls be allowed? I could probably hack up my Titan into something suitable for a ball gun round.
