#140307 The Vulcan

Posted by PointBlank on 14 February 2008 - 07:47 PM in General Nerf

That thing is freaking awesome looking. I wonder how fast it would shoot if you removed the ar's and found a way to plug it into a wall...

p.s. Yakkers, no offense but you stole my fricken avatar! (partly joking)

#140148 The Vulcan

Posted by PointBlank on 14 February 2008 - 07:47 AM in General Nerf

Wow, this gun is either a piece of crap or a piece of awesomeness, I guess only time will tell.

My guess is the piece of crap option.



#160325 The Vulcan

Posted by PointBlank on 24 June 2008 - 08:19 PM in General Nerf

The more I read and hear about this gun, the more I realize that there is no point in me buying it.



#140309 Nerf Recon Ar Removal

Posted by PointBlank on 14 February 2008 - 07:52 PM in Modifications

Its too bad that the AR's are such a bitch to remove. It took me two hours to take them out with my limited supplies.

#141373 Nerf Eliminator And Hyperfire

Posted by PointBlank on 19 February 2008 - 07:44 PM in General Nerf

And your point is? The vast majority of Nerf guns are capable of shooting them.

Geez you dont have to be so harsh, he was just being observant...



#141357 Nerf Eliminator And Hyperfire

Posted by PointBlank on 19 February 2008 - 07:04 PM in General Nerf

Wow who knew that nerfing would be such a dangerous sport..



#220089 Your Worst Nerf Related Injury

Posted by PointBlank on 26 March 2009 - 10:41 PM in General Nerf

Me and a friend were shooting each other with my titan about a yer ago, he thought it would be funny to stick a tack on the end of the dart... I still have the scar.



#225456 Community-wide Mod Contest

Posted by PointBlank on 24 April 2009 - 11:45 AM in News

Are we allowed to update our entries after posted? Mine is functional but I am not happy with trigger function.... Then again, I might never change it. I was not sure If I should paint it until I have a smoother trigger for fear of damaging finish while disassembling it.

Don

Then just wait until closer to the deadline to submit it.


Just to clarify, are we aloud to update our entries after posting the link in the submission thread or not? You never quite answered the question.

Thanks for the help



#223498 Community-wide Mod Contest

Posted by PointBlank on 13 April 2009 - 09:57 PM in News

Would it be possible for one to submit a completed modification that has already been posted by said person as an un-finished project? If so, how different would it have to be?

Also, does the gun have to be war-legal?



#140601 Absolver- Titan Modification

Posted by PointBlank on 16 February 2008 - 03:24 PM in Modifications

That's a really nice write up, it looks very easy to do. I'll probably make another barrel attachment for my titan like that.



#138921 Nf Crossbow Style

Posted by PointBlank on 06 February 2008 - 09:57 AM in Modifications

That thing is seriously bad ass! Thanks for the well developed write up.



#225270 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 23 April 2009 - 01:19 PM in Modifications

This is sweet. Very clean, looks very functional. Im definatly doing this when my 3k gets here. But why didnt you conect the tank pin/trigger to the stock NF trigger? Mabye I should do that, unless you've tried that... and it dosn't work...


It does, work, but it requires allot of extra work. I am ironing out all the kinks and soon I will post the better trigger mech.



#225377 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 23 April 2009 - 09:50 PM in Modifications

You said 3k intigration. That looks like a 2k tank. My 3k tanks are black and no where NEAR that clean. I have to cut parts off for a tank.


Well, it is infact an at3k tank. I guess I just did a realy good job removing all the extra crap.

If you don't believe me I can always rip it out and take a close up...it would be inconvenient however



#226993 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 28 April 2009 - 09:37 PM in Modifications

Very nice mod! It looks like the nitefinder came like that originally. The barrel in the write up is just a cpvc coupler, correct?


Correct.



#226360 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 26 April 2009 - 08:08 PM in Modifications

Why didn't you just run the tubing from the tank below the trigger and place the pump in the handle? This way you can have the nf and the at3k.


As Alkorion said, It has already been done. Besides, the whole point of this mod was to make it look as much as the NF as possible, or at least look like a stock gun.



#225352 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 23 April 2009 - 08:09 PM in Modifications

*UPDATE!!!*

I added new pictures with the better trigger mechanism.

What do you think?



#225063 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 22 April 2009 - 05:21 PM in Modifications

That looks extremely nice and clean. The only thing I have a problem with are those ranges. If a singled 3k struggles to hit that at 5 normal pumps then there's no way in hell it can hit that at 3 smaller pumps.


Who says I was using "smaller" pumps? If you look at an at3k, it is actually not even using its whole pump, also I have done nothing to make the pump smaller in any way. So in fact, my 3 full pumps, are actually equal if not more than 5 pumps of an at3k. Does this make sense? I can explain it better if you would like.



#225186 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 22 April 2009 - 10:29 PM in Modifications

That's sweet... If it was mine, I'd put a light spring in the pump to pull the cocking/pump handle back in to place every time. I don't know why, I just think that'd be a convenient addition.


Interesting thing to consider, it would be nice to make the pump motion easier.



#225056 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 22 April 2009 - 05:10 PM in Modifications

Behold... The Cyclops. Enjoy :huh:

At first glance, you may think that it is a regular night finder... But when we take a closer look, you begin to realize that it is so much more than that. My goal for this project was to successfully put an at3k into a NF shell, while still maintaining as much of the NF looks and feel as possible, because hey, who doesnt love holding a NF? I believe that I have succeeded. *evil laugh*

Posted Image

For this writeup, I am assuming that you know how to remove the tank from an AT3k.

After that, you simply put the gun back together and run the tubing from the pump.

And that’s pretty much all that needs to be explained.

Here's some more pictures.

*RANGES*
With 3 pumps I get around 100’ with ¼” fishing weight steffans and a 6” barrel. (those are incredibly good ranges for a NF)
With the same barrel, I can easily reach 90' with 2 pumps. (these ranges may seem impossible, but just remember how far a singled at3k can shoot)

*TO DO* (new pictures will be added as I complete these)
1. Create a better trigger mechanism - completed
2. Re-enforce the plunger rod - completed
3. Paint job! - more pics of that up soon

I would be willing to do a more full and detailed write up upon request.

Wish me luck in the mod contest!

Questions? Comments? Flames?

#225136 The Cyclops

Posted by PointBlank on 22 April 2009 - 07:50 PM in Modifications

Oh before I forget, did you plug the AT3K tank?

Yes I did.

Also how is aiming since in my mind I would still try and aim down what used to be the old barrel? Just seems like it would mess with accuracy to me.


The accuracy on this thing is brilliant. The barrel is perfectly aligned with the rail on the top of the gun.

Just one thing. How did you get the tube for the pump and tank through the hole in the shell?


I enlarged the hole with a knife.



#160227 My Recon Cs-6 Triple Mod!

Is that a sharpie paint job? nice. =]

Posted by PointBlank on 07 February 2008 - 04:32 PM in Modifications

Thats fricken amazing dude. Nice work



#105730 Primary Guns

Posted by PointBlank on 15 May 2007 - 05:36 PM in General Nerf

Either a Splitfire (sometimes two), a Magstrike, a NiteFinder, or a Titan (Unmodded).


Why unmodded?



#105685 Primary Guns

Posted by PointBlank on 15 May 2007 - 04:15 PM in General Nerf

I would have to say my titan. It has incredable ranges and amazing accuracy and is sure to make people cry. :cry: I am not so crazy about the reloading time though.



#106009 Bbb Mod Write Up

Posted by PointBlank on 16 May 2007 - 08:55 PM in Modifications

Thanks wallymaniac.

This is a good mod, but may i suggest something a little thinner than a rubber band to go at the bottom of the barrel to not block air flow.


It wont make that much of a diference.



#106001 Bbb Mod Write Up

Posted by PointBlank on 16 May 2007 - 08:48 PM in Modifications

This is my first ever Write up, so bear with me.

[/u]Tools needed[u]
1-bbb
2-some tape(electric, duct, hockey, thees will al work)
3-9"' 1/2" pvc
4-1' 9/16" brass tube
5-screw driver(phillips head)
6-a ruber band
Here it is. The Big Bad Bow.
Posted Image

Well, first off open up the gun. Then take out the air restrictors shown below.
Posted Image

Put a layer of tape around the stock barrel as shown. This is optional, but will help with barrel stability.
Posted Image

Now put the stock barrel back into the gun.
Posted Image

You are done with the inside so screw it all together.

Then take out youre 1' length of brass.
Posted Image

Then take out a 1" portion of the rubber band. Tape it on to one end of the brass as shown (the end of the gun that will go inside the stock barrel). This will keep the darts from falling into the plunger chamber.
Posted Image

Wrap youre tape around the brass as shown. Just one or two layers, enough to fit in the stock barrel.
Posted Image

Slide the brass 3" into the stock barrel. It should be a snug fit.
Posted Image

Next you want to get out your 9" length of pvc.
Posted Image

Now slide the pvc over the brass and have it touching the stock barrel.
Posted Image

Tape the pvc to the stock barrel.

Congrats! You are finaly done. :lol:

Here are the ranges:
1-66' 7"
2-68' 3"
3-72' 7"
4-73' 7"
5-98' 1"

I don't know why the last one went so far, the wind probably carried it.

If you have any questions I will try my best to answer them.

P.S. Please don't nag about how stupid I am, but if you have any constructive criticism thats fine.
