Why the hell do you play in the dark?The sudden shock of the MT20 powering up, the whoosh of air from my AT2K, and the barrage of MT20 fire was enough to completely disorient the enemy [we play in the dark], so I was able to quickly eliminate several decent players, and win the game for my team.

Just so you know, adding power doesn't improve accuracy. Especially if too much is added, it exposes the tiniest flaws in the darts. Besides, the vulcan isn't really meant to be the most accurate of guns, its supossed to dominate because of it's ROF.

It uses music, it is set to music, but it most definitely is not music.
The clear test is that it obviously could work exactly as well if set to any of thousands of totally different tunes.
This argument doesn't make much sense. Just because something will "work" over different chord changes or arpeggios doesn't mean it will sound good. A drum beat for Rage against the Machine could work over a Jack Johnson song if they are both in 4/4 time, and would sound really out of place. A solo in the key of G for a folk tune could be played over a metal song in G, or even over a song in C for a mixolydian feel. Just because you can cut and paste music onto other music doesn't mean it isn't music. Look at the mash-up artist Girl Talk. He makes his living mashing all different songs, not just rap.

I have been noticing this a lot lately as well. Just because someone had a similar idea to you and actually made the damn thing shouldn't stop you from making it as well. Their accomplishment doesn't detract from yours. By the way, those BS barrels don't look too straight, is that a problem?I'm kind of tired of hearing this. If you have an idea, go out and make it. In the real world, tons of people comes up with the same idea, yet the person who goes and does it and gets a patent is the one making the money.Nevermind my question.
You stole 1/3 of my idea I had for the magstrike.

I have a Dremel 300 series, is this a good model for rotary tool? Also, are the diamond cutting discs that come with them good for cutting plastic, 'cause mine normally just melt the plastic. If not what would a good blade look like?
The 300s are great. Abrasive cutting isn't the best for plastics. The diamond can work, but you usually have to go slowly at the slowest speed. With relatively coarse "high speed steel" cutters you can go faster without melting.
What's so bad about melting through the plastic? I find that I get nice clean cuts that way, and it cuts fairly quickly.
Fumes! Just do it in a well ventelated area. Remember, if you aren't in California, you can't get cancer from that shit.

No you weren't. I hate when people claim "Oh, I had the exact same Idea and you finished It just before me. Damn!"Dang, I was going to do that tomorrow! I was gonna use a 3k tank.
On a completely different note, I really like this pistol. It looks cool, but it needs a paintjob. Also you could smooth out the hot glue a tad. Overall though, this has got to one of my favorite easy to fabricate side arms.

Don't drop it...if you drop that thing on its barrels, they are going to SHATTER under the weight of the RF20.
other than that, it's pretty goddamn awesome.
Everyones complaining about so many pumps. This seems like the kind of gun for short rounds such as single elimination, and you'd pump it up beforehand. Then just use your sidearm. That's basically what'll happen with most machine guns for me anyways...
EDIT-- By the way, its a sick gun.

I second that. The creation is amazing from what I hear, but there are ways you could make it better, smaller, cheaper, ect. Carbon also has made many different kinds of snaps, but I suppose that this is out of the question because it is supposed to be a blend of the snap and the plus-bow.One suggestion I have, other than stop bitching about the price, is for Rork. Revise it! I know Carbon revised the SNAP a ton before he decided to sell it. The SNAPbow has amazing performance but there are definitely some ways you could revise it to make it cheaper and easier to build.

Sorry, the plunger from front to back is:
Endcap with rubber washers in it like a snap, then 3/4" pipe, then a coupler. The spring is housed inside the coupler, and the coupler is sanded down, so that the trigger is locking over a coupler and not an endcap (same idea though). A picture is worth a thousand words:

I'm actually working on something like this with a shotgun grip. Can be seen partway complete here:Thanks.
I understand how it works now. I thought you connected the front handle to it so it'll work like a shotgun.

Dosen't the hinge on the stock hurt to use?
No... And at AJ.Z, it probably because of the front handle. It looks signifigantly better w/out it.

That thing is just so fugly, it'd be funny to watch people get hit by it. Vacc said something like that awhile ago...
It is VERY ugly, but I really don't care.
It is very ugly in the most beautiful way. Good work.
It's ugly. Oh well. THink about putting less furniture on your next one.
Now I just feel bad...
I might take off the ladder sight, and will definitely clean up where the plunger tube attaches to the stock.

The SCR-6:
It has some similarities to the snap, but also several differences.
1: There is no bar coming out the back of the gun, which allows the user to hold the rifle to his chest before firing.
2: It has a built in "ladder sight" that Cartoon has explanations for here: http://nerfhaven.com...hl=Ladder Sight
I did however, put my own twist on it, where the ladder is on a hinge so it stays out of the way while firing, and is velcroed to the body. The view is like this:
3: It uses a stripper clip, but it is more like a chain, so that when the bottom barrel is loaded on the top barrel stays out of the users line of sight. It is connected via velcro so that when one barrel is damaged/breaks, it can be replaced:
4: It has a hinge in the stock, (which is hollow), to allow the user to hold a second clip:
5: It has a stock, handle, and barrel support made of wood.
6: Last, but most importantly, it cocks from the side! It has a metal bar which has a rubber/foam grip to allow for easy firing:
As for the stats, it gets mid 80's. The plunger system is the same to the SNAPs, however, the spring is housed inside a 3/4" coupler. The ROF is a little faster than a NF.
Even though I am happy with the stats, my main goal was to create a relatively realistic looking rifle, that could still perform well enough to be my primary. I think I was sucessful. A couple more pictures of it just for kicks:

Sure. Not primed:Can you put it back together and get a picture of it cocked? Don't take a picture of the whole thing, just focus on the pressure chamber.
And primed:
EDIT- Hey AJ.Z, I don't think its THAT ugly...

The nail slides over the endcap on the far left of the plunger head (the piece to the right of the spring) and locks behind it.
Here's a closer view:
I used a method of putting O-rings inbetween 3/4" couplers, all over a 3/4" piece of pipe. This works very well for my purposes. The chamber is 1 1/4" PVC pipe, with a 1 1/4" coupler holding a 1 1/4" by 1/2" PVC coupler on the front.
EDIT: The barrel is CPVC, and I have not had any major problems of the nail catching on the spring yet.

This is it when cocked:
The view from where you load the darts (through the back, then put the cap back on):
If this is confusing, see Carrtoon's pistol.
Finally, a size comparison to a NF:
I will post pictures of the plunger later if people are interested. Also, I might post a write up, but not for some time because school is almost back for me. Ranges are stupendous, because there is literally no dead space. I'd say about the range of my Snap (90 feet flat).
EDIT-- RPS stands for Reverse Plunger Sidearm

- Also, does one have to completely remove the grey shell to be able to get the turret out? I think I may have stripped some of the screws.
EDIT- Hahaha, I guess nobody really knows.
