#98932 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by z80 on 29 January 2007 - 06:33 PM in Modifications

That's pretty nice z80. I've never seen that gun before.

I have Vinyl connecting the turret to the airtank. It's pretty nice, gets decent range with good ROF.

I think getting rid of that vinyl tubing and connecting the airtank directly to the turret will increase ranges by a bit.

The problem is that it is too thin to fit the whole turret part. The vinyl is also only like two inches long, so it wont hurt that much.

I would add a real barrell and mount it on a gauntlet.

Yeah, imaginary barrels suck.

Is that a piece of somewhat-large PVC connecting the back of the turret to the gun?

I'm so proud...lol.

Looks great!

Thanks. Its actually some 1.5" PVC (I beleive, I got it from my friend) Fits just around the turret after you grind down those little nubs on the side. It's very sturdy, but I took it off, so I could use different barrels, and because there was a seal problem.

SMG:

SM500 with a 2k pump that none of you have ever seen (I traded it a longass time ago):

This thread needs more pictures.

Whoa. I did like the SAME thing to my sm500. The check valve kicked the bucket, so I figured a 2k pump would work well. Weird...

My moded BBB. First successful mod. Still looking for a name.

How about "Terror" or "Stalker"?

How about Ultra Unicorn Blaster 2000?

This is a Nerf bow i made out of an old children's bow.

Works pretty well, and I took of the site, ammo holders, and I added a trigger to it.

I just kinda wanted to make something as a proof of concept. I never actually use the thing in wars or anything, I just show it to my friends.
This is the bow I used.

Is there anyone affiliated with this site in anyway that has the time on Saturday to go take pictures at Hasbro's NY Office?
Cap'n Slug's post notwithstanding (he feels it may be counterintuitive to the spirit of Nerfing, he didn't make a judgment call on the blaster itself).
He was quoting my post which was actually my own comments concerning the impracticality of my design. I'll wait to form a complete opinion when I know more about how the Vulcan actually works, but my intuition tells me that it's not going to be a terribly useful weapon for typical Nerf Wars. Like you said, geared towards the purchase motivations of the average consumer and not us.

Do you think it would require like media clearance or anything? I would consider trying to go up if I can just go right in and take pictures.

#140343 The Vulcan

Posted by z80 on 14 February 2008 - 09:16 PM in General Nerf

Does anyone else see two triggers on the gun? The button on the top of the grip and the actual trigger. Could one of these be the motor button and the other be the belt feed trigger?
I don't. That piece (considering the size of the blaster) looks way too high up to be easily reached by your thumb.

I agree, I think it's just for aesthetic value.
Also, I'm going to talk with my friend about going in to the city on saturday.

Battery powered=fail.

Seriously, to get a decent amount of range you would have to add an actual "good" spring and to fire a "good" spring you would probably have to hook it up to a car battery.
This thread runs in circles. This has been discussed before...Car battery=12V, 6 C batteries=9V. Only 3V difference. Not to mention that the car battery would have too much amperage for a small electric motor to handle.
When will this thread end?

*facepalm*
Amperage is determined by the device, not the power source.
V=IR
Voltage=12 v
I is current
R is resistance of the motor. As the resistance increases, aperage decreases.

One wonders how much work it would take to rig a backpack car battery.
BAD IDEA. Car batteries are serious. You certainly don't need that much power, and neither lead nor sulfuric acid is fun stuff.

Except the power wouldnt be any different from a 12V battery, it just would have much longer life. Also, sulfuric acid is in the battery. As long as you arent breaking the battery apart, tis alright.
It's still a stupid Idea, a nice LiPoly battery would be cheaper, rechargable and a fuck ton lighter.

I like how like no one on NHQ has asked him to open it...
We need internals for the damned thing. I could care less about external shots.

You could also mount it to a car or maybe a golf cart, then attach it to the electrical system. Looks like a nice little design, hopefully you'll make it, and blow us away.

#74318 Fall '06 Blasters

Posted by z80 on 25 February 2006 - 09:28 PM in General Nerf

The Magstrike to me looks a lot like a Blastfire with a clip. Only one more shot and a little airtank/stock combo. Surely, it's going to be a hit among the community. I don't think the PC is going to go out of style though. There's going to be plenty of others that prefer 4 more shots to the stock & airtank. I know that would likely pertain to me. However, I do intend to invest in the Magstrike.

Ummm, the Magstrike holds ten bullets, not six.

#74215 Fall '06 Blasters

Posted by z80 on 24 February 2006 - 11:17 PM in General Nerf

Yes im so happy finally a gun that is big enough for my massive 6,3 self. I am really excited about the long shot.

Good point, I'll have to tell my 6 foot 5 friend. He looks rediculous using a Maverick.

#74406 Fall '06 Blasters

Posted by z80 on 26 February 2006 - 03:51 PM in General Nerf

The thing is that the maverick turret cannot be taken out a you put in another one. Thats the best part about clips.

#76513 Guide To Barrel Material

Posted by z80 on 16 March 2006 - 03:32 PM in Modifications

I would recomend the use of hollowed out crayola markers inside a length of 1/2" SCH40 PVC for guns that use stock micros.

Ive used that on my AT2k, LBB and NF. Works great with matchsticks too.

Oh, and if you find the guy who first modded the 5k or the titan, feel free to make that argument. Otherwise, shut up. The only person that's gonna make this decision is Kuhlshrank. Anyway, back to the war. Stu

Does this mean I can use the national geographic gun?

How about rather than everyone carpooling together (which doesn't make sence for everyone who has nearly-full cars) we either have the people who are being dropped off (I know my crew will have three cars dropping us off) come earlier to ease the traffic? I don't know if there's necessarily a problem with cars, but we have to find out how many people are carpooling/parking there etc.

Geez, man-- I don't even have to try when you set 'em up like this...

Neither did your mom last night? You're right, this is just too easy.

Just buy him (or get him to buy) a pair of clear plastic safety glasses if he is uncomfortable with using his regular glasses as eye protection. Problem solved.

Bottom line is: he needs something to protect his eyes if he's under 18.

-Groove

The question isn't really that he's unconfortable, it's whether you guys are considering glasses as eye protection. At least thats what I think he means. I also am in a similar situation, so any info would help.

Its an old cement foundry, thats why its both along the river and a railroad. Its an amazing place, absolutely astounding.

I'm just throwing this out there, but in my experience, cpvc works better in plunger guns. Yes, this is a plunger gun, the air is the cocking method. I may do angles mod but relocate the trigger so I can actuate the trigger valve with a solenoid and supply air via paintball "nitro" tank.

-Butt

No it's not. The piston acts as a regulator valve.

#127804 Why Did You Choose Your Username?

Posted by z80 on 28 October 2007 - 12:46 PM in Off Topic

I was signing up on a forum (Team Hackaday forums) and decided I needed a nerdy name. So I went with z80 (the processor of the gameboy) rather than my normal Madc0w (which is based off of my last name, steers) When I signed up for NHQ, I registered Madc0w, but the email got screwed up, so I reregistered as z80. Thank god, because Madc0w was apparently a bad spammer.

#152350 Primary Guns

Posted by z80 on 21 April 2008 - 08:07 AM in General Nerf

My current primary setup is a maxshot/sm500 (I use both about equally) The maxshot allows for nice ROF with decent range, and the sm500 is basically a pistol sized rifle, it gets amazing ranges.
