Please ignore the messiness of my den/workshop/sex dungeon. Stampede is double-volted with alkaline batteries, and has a slightly shortened BBB spring inside. Trigger is hooked up to one of the brake handles. Sledgefire pistol sits on the other side.

It could look cleaner but that would involve drilling into my fucking bike.

Video up tomorrow.

Rapidstrike Pistol. No exposed batteries. Yeah I could have made it smaller but this was the look I was going for. Reduced fore end. Removed the stock and added 8 AA batteries in the stock void. Balance is pretty good.

Thanks to randyfivesix's instructables guide that allowed me to complete the front part.

Takedown bitches! Still needs a trigger because I am missing one 25 cents screw for the trigger rotation bar. Has a 5.75 in draw, a full [k26] Spring, pump action, and can (theoretically) work with a barrel up to 10 or 12 inches. Only uses one eye-bolt to lock the two halves together, so this thing can be assembled without the use of any tools! Designed for close quarters nerfing and easy portability, this blaster weighs only 1 lb 12 oz, or 1.75 lbs, before the barrel and hopper assembly are added. Will be making a pullback version too, I really like this concept

With semi retained trigger and tool free removal screw.

Speed Hole is located on the bottom, and enlarged to 3/8" DIA from 1/4". Before the speed hole was right by your ear and made a loud pang every time it was fired, by having it on the underside, the blaster seems much quieter.

Top: ESLT with better stock and intake, and cantilever wye brace

Bottom: Yet-to-be-named floating piston bullpup to dominate the ESLT above it

 

With a skirt seal and a [k25] at 95% compression, my ears tell me this is rocking around the christmas tree at 220 or so FPS. Beauty is , remove two screws and you can replace the spring with a [k26] and up that FPS by 10-20, as opposed to completely gutting the ESLT to make even minor adjustments.

 

EDIT: Ya'll like acronyms, let's call it the PCR or PCSR: "Pumpaction Compression-spring Redirect" blaster

Aesthetics based on the American made M3A1 "Grease Gun" (and perhaps a little FAL too?)

Catch based on the Madsen SMG sear catch, first implemented in homemades by Ryan McNumbers/ MHA

Uses NO McMaster parts! BUT, the front superlative catch printed part can be  flipped to reveal a place to put a skirt seal (which I will probably do).

 

Originally based on the SNAP Carbine but uses a 3d printed ESLT style of catch nad reciever, but with parts designed to be used on smaller 3d printers, a 6 inch cube print volume can print this! Plus the receiver can be used on other blasters of similar type, maybe different PT lengths for various degrees of energy, so you can have multiple "uppers" that match to one "lower". Nobody's gonna do it, but it makes me happy to design modular things.

Pullback Carbines

-5 inches of draw

-10" of [k25] in the carbine, 9.5" of [k26] in the pistol

-Omnidirectional catch on the pistol, with special anti-kinking design on the inside. That's right, no more B.S. false catching and spring binding against the catch rod. This baby catches every time.

-The suppressor looking things are adapters for brass single-barrels

-22 inch overall length on the carbine before barrels/adapters/hoppers

My attempt at making a new homemade style design based on an ESLT/PCSR style relocated submachinegun catch

 

20160318_182534_zpsp4qqv9zc.jpg

It is NON-FUNCTIONAL, but it is a failure in the name of progress so I'm cool with it. The Idea was to have an invertible catch (the triangular star-trek-logo-looking cutting board piece near the bottom-rear of the blaster) so the catch could be flipped around (inverted) and used on the other side if one side got worn down, as opposed to having to completely replace the trigger on something like a SNAP. This doesn't work because the slots on the PVC are pushed open by the restoring force of the mainspring when the catch pivots upward. If this was a pure PCSR, there would be no slots so the catch would actually likely work in that case. But, it is what it is and I learned something from it, mainly the actual energy these springs have in them.

Just some "slotless" pumpsnaps. First edition is on the top, second edition is on the bottom. They both work well, but the bottom one is 6 ounces lighter than the top one.

Streamlining the Double Rainbow. I use slightly less draw and slightly more pre-compression. That's with all my blasters, so I'm deviating from Koree's design a bit to increase strength and ease of assembly. Or I could be wrong. That's a possibility. Writeup soon.

With pistol grip and pump. Can be 3d printed or hand-manufactured.

Drev's Bullpup blaster with some Aeromech flair, currently in the "Trident" configuration, with reverse wye chopper designed to be used specifically with my removable clips. If you've used a chopper before, it works alright, the blaster itself still has some teething to do. Not war ready quite yet.

Coming to a war new you. The evolution of the Double rainbow I've been toying with for the last couple weeks. String stop makes this dry fire safe. Precompressed low draw plunger system gives this thing really good ranges, just under a traditional cocentric-force blaster. Barrel-slide lug in the front prevents this blaster from bowing out and splitting apart like I've seen other DRs have a tendency to do. Polycarb sideplates make it pretty strong and allow for an optic attachment if you're really lame like me. Writeup soon. I'm more pleased with this than I expected. Stock to bushing measurement is 18.5 inches.

EDIT: Yes, I've been whoring this thread but I've been on a building spree. There is another one coming soon I'll try to be more concise.

Wow guys, sweet war, really.

I guess we're doing the pros/cons thing?

Pros
-Langley runs pretty baller wars.
-Meeting new and old people that partake in this geeky hobby.
-Seeing all the different flavors of homemades. Really, your soul goes into those things. It's heartwarming to see everybody's creativity.
-Finding another Long Island based Nerfer.
-Got rid of some old stuff I don't use.
-Even the "noobs" had a good run, everybody was pretty lax about loaning blasters and parts to those less-armed.
-Weather wasn't that bad
-Signing the shit-ploy. You could easily ebay that for like 75 cents now.

Cons, (Not really, just funny shit that happened.)
-Realizing you're out of ammo three feet away from DX.
-Gotta get me one of them there rocket launchers.
-SNAP style blaster deciding to eat a dick in the last round.
-Motherfucking New York City traffic

10/10 would apocalypse again.

#350248 PCSR: A new homemade design

Posted by Aeromech on 28 December 2015 - 08:02 PM in Homemades

They were built to shoot silicone domes. People liked the metal darts better...  I still think pullback is superior for higher spring constant blasters. 

Will STL's and design files be shared eventually? Looks like a really nice design and I would love to build one. Really good work overall.

 

Also I would disagree and say that ESTL's do not only shoot proprietary ammo that only one person (myself you are obviously refering to) makes. 

They do not ONLY shoot propriety ammo, but it's what they were designed for, and therefore provide sub-optimal performance for most other ammo types. People do tend to use slugs more and that's the point. The ESLT comes shipped with a barrel meant for silly-domes. If nobody uses them anyway, the barrel needs to be replaced to accommodate the darts being used. The forward barrel rest on the ESLT demands the barrel must be 14 inches long no matter what. And if fatter/denser foam is used the ESLT can and will get some of the nastiests jams you've ever seen, partially caused by that non-vaccum-forming plunger seal. It gets stuck and then cannot get unstuck by priming back. Point being, it's a pain in the ass to change the barrel on that thing.

 

As for uploading the .STL files, you can refer to http://nerfhaven.com...o-borrow-eslts/ for my answer. Not one week ago, I came asking for a favor from the community and was greeted as a theif. Forgive me, but I'm not in a particularly generous mood at the moment. You will pay for a blaster just like anyone else. I will not release the files for the time being. TL;DR, When I can have people trust that I won't steal their $100 blaster, I will trust them that they will not try to sell MY $100+ blaster as their own.

 

EDIT: Thank you to my friends, who, upon reading this post, volunteered some ESLTs for me. And thank you Orangeparkour, upon rereading the thread, most of the comments there were trying to be helpful. Sorry to those of you I offended, the few bad ones left a bad taste in my mouth.
