#64541 Youre Computer Specs
Posted by BloodMoon on 28 September 2005 - 09:29 PM in Off Topic
eVGA nVidia 6800 GT
1 GB DDR400 RAM
Intel D865PERL MoBo
120 GB, 7200 RPM IDE Hard Drive
Windows XP Pro + SP1
No, I don't have a reason for not going to SP2...but the earlier version of SP2 annoyed me, and I never really thought of checking back to see what's changed. I have a PII computer running Red Hat 9 Linux, but that really shouldn't count.

#63854 Your Armory
Posted by BloodMoon on 18 September 2005 - 06:10 PM in General Nerf
If it means something to you, I also have a SuperMaxx 3000, but it's pretty badly screwed up. I'm hoping to hunt down some of the Lanard guns, but so far I've only seen First Shot's, and I'd rather have more NF's than First Shot's.That doesn't beat my one and only Titan AS-V1
EDIT: Apologies for getting off-topic. What I more meant to say is that I'd rather have a Blast Bazooka or better yet a Max Shot. Both, I believe, fire much larger projectiles than the First Shot, so I'm assuming that they'll get better range for the one shot that they're good for. I like NiteFinder's better because they are a little bit more compact, after you've taken off the laser casing and ammo holders, and they cost about the same.
#67665 Where To Buy Modding Materials
Posted by BloodMoon on 14 November 2005 - 10:59 PM in Modifications
As far as brass goes, I'd say that if you're new and you have an Ace nearby, that should be the first place you check. Of three Ace stores, I've found brass at all three. That doesn't mean that all Ace's carry it, but it does mean that it's worth checking. Be aware that brass is a relatively uncommon item, so you may have to search the store yourself.
I have never seen brass at Lowes. I haven't been to more than one Lowe's though.
#63645 What Size Pipe
Posted by BloodMoon on 14 September 2005 - 07:48 PM in Modifications
If you want to use a ramrod/breech/bolt/nested barrel, I'd take poo's suggestion on the the 1/2", Sch. 40 PVC.
EDIT: 1/2" Sch. 40 PVC has an inner diameter of 5/8"...I don't know what the outer diameter is, but it's not as important.
#66186 Tool Prerequisites
Posted by BloodMoon on 20 October 2005 - 08:42 PM in Modifications
I don't know if you count this as a tool, but I use a vice all the time, for letting stuff dry and holding things that I need to drill/sand.
Something that I can't get enough of that hasn't been mentioned is Electrical Tape (also called Vinyl Tape or E-Tape). My main use for it is that wrapping pipe/tubing with it increases the outer diameter. I've also seen it used for added holding strengh and better grips for your guns. If nothing else, it makes things black (or whatever other color of E-Tape you'd like to buy).

#66184 The Hornet
Posted by BloodMoon on 20 October 2005 - 08:32 PM in General Nerf
I'd really like to get my hands on a Hornet, but I'm not about to buy a N-Strike, considering that they're $40 and I don't want/need the Titan or the Scout (nevermind anything else the N-Strike comes with). If they were sold individually, I'd gladly pay $15 for one, but I'm not motivated enough to find one to buy online.

#66358 Springs
Posted by BloodMoon on 22 October 2005 - 10:18 PM in Modifications
For all of the hardware stores I've been in, there's been a wall of springs somewhere. Just ask someone who works there...unlike some items (like brass), springs are really common, and the people working at your hardware store should know where they are. As far as the three stores nearest to me, however, I've been unable to find any good springs for use in cocking guns, so I'm going to try to get ahold of some AR15 springs, as per Boltsniper's Homemades.In what section of your hardware stores do you find the springs?
#64540 Splitfire Tactical
Posted by BloodMoon on 28 September 2005 - 09:18 PM in Modifications
I'm a fan of black weapons...I think that it looks better than some of the flourescent colors that guns come in, though most of the time I'd just rather leave the default color on. And, in truth, I'm a lazy painter; cover what you don't want painted with masking tape, and then paint on a coat of Krylon Fusion spraypaint, the color of your choice. While black paint could be an issue at a public park, I generally nerf at other people's houses, so it's not an issue.

#67077 Size Of Pvc For Homemade Gun
Posted by BloodMoon on 03 November 2005 - 07:01 PM in Homemades
I measured some 1", and that chart seems about right, so I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that the chart is correct for the rest of the pipe sizes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't list ID's and OD's for thin wall PVC (for example, 230 PSI 3/4" PVC or 200 PSI 1" PVC), which you may want in your design.
#65478 Simple Lbb Mod
Posted by BloodMoon on 10 October 2005 - 06:46 PM in Modifications
Could you pump the gun less because it is only firing stefans instead of bulky foam missiles? Yes, you can. But in a war, unless you're really desperate, you're going to want to pump it that many times because that way you'll get greater range.

#69053 Question About The Far
Posted by BloodMoon on 11 December 2005 - 07:33 PM in Homemades
I'm thinking that it would be actually cheaper to buy a springer than to try and get all the parts for building a homemade one.
Also, I'm not sure the FAR is the best place to look for ideas on this. The FAR was designed with bulky foam ammunition in mind, so I don't know how much of Bolt's design is going to be relevant to what you're trying to do. The FAR is a good primer for a project like this, but I think that you're going to have to redesign the magazine system to work with the BB's, which will be no small feat.
#65791 Problems With My Nerf Guns
Posted by BloodMoon on 14 October 2005 - 06:44 PM in General Nerf
Sorry I didn't mention that. You're absolutely right.Stick to stock darts for the scout. My scout will shoot a stock dart like 25 feet where a stefan wont even leave the barrell.

#65732 Problems With My Nerf Guns
Posted by BloodMoon on 13 October 2005 - 10:38 PM in General Nerf
As far as your dart situation, you might want to look into Stefans. I use them because they allow you to build guns that don't muzzle load, and because they cost somewhere between 1 and 2 cents each to make. Check out this thread here.

#66182 Paper Darts?
Posted by BloodMoon on 20 October 2005 - 08:26 PM in General Nerf
I can't imagine that any darts made out of paper are as good as stefans. For starters, they have to have almost no wieight...which poses problems if you want to shoot over five feet. Next, how can they possibly make a good seal with the barrel? As they must be easily bent, I doubt that there's any good barrel for them.
#67658 Nf Mod
Posted by BloodMoon on 14 November 2005 - 10:31 PM in Modifications
It's a solid mod. It's a lot like what I wound up doing for my very first mod. What I can tell you about ranges on the NF CPVC mod is that you'll get very different results depending on your stefans.
Thanks, Uncle Hammer. I guess I'll also be buying a whole bunch of 'old' NF's if there are still any lying around on shelves somewheres.
#66095 Nf Coupler Mod
Posted by BloodMoon on 18 October 2005 - 09:45 PM in Modifications
That's a very solid mod. It would be nice to have a pic of the finished product though...for some reason, that just makes it complete in my mind. I have a CPVC barreled NF that gets no where near those ranges, but I think that it's because my Stefans are a bad fit for CPVC...I've since then stopped using it.
#66428 Nf Barrels?
Posted by BloodMoon on 23 October 2005 - 04:00 PM in Modifications
Just to sum it up though, make sure you have a Brass, PETG, Crayola, or CPVC barrel for the 1/2" FBR that you are going to buy.

#66354 New Silencer
Posted by BloodMoon on 22 October 2005 - 09:56 PM in Homemades
Just a question on the function of your silencer...I'm assuming that the noise reduction is really only an issue for pump guns, seeing as in a spring gun the sound of the spring colliding with the end of the plunger tube is louder than the dart firing (though I may be wrong)?

#64360 New Clip
Posted by BloodMoon on 25 September 2005 - 10:25 PM in Homemades
As far as the M1 clip, I won't have a good idea about it for sure until I try to build one. I don't think it would be all that bad to make a clip that fits inside the mag (so to say). In my mind, I'm just tring to think about ompa's clip and then what parts of it would have to be in the stationary mag and what parts would be in the removable clip. In the M1 clip idea, would you have to have a section of the barrel attached to the removable clip, that the bolt would go in? Or would you not have to worry about that?

#66359 Modification and Paintjob Pictures
Posted by BloodMoon on 22 October 2005 - 10:22 PM in Modifications
Uhh, then where would the crossbow's barrel be??Nice integretion but the pump should be where the barrelis of the sm1500, and the barrel should come out the top hole where the original Xbow's barrel was.
Here's a pic of my LBB, though I already posted the pic in some other thread:

#65794 Maverick
Posted by BloodMoon on 14 October 2005 - 06:54 PM in Modifications
If the thing is airtight, all of your air is being lost between where the revolver portion ends and when your barrel begins.
Or maybe I'm completely lost as to what you're trying to say.
Anyway, if you're keeping your Maverick stock, you're accuracy is probably the least of your concerns. If you're looking for a good Mav mod, I'd check out Baghead's mod right here.
#69950 Mark Series Modded Nf
Posted by BloodMoon on 27 December 2005 - 12:11 PM in Modifications
Having a stock on a Nitefinder is a personal choice, so I'll respect yours on that. Putting a scope on a NF as the last poster suggested would be kind of a waste, IMHO. You don't need a scope to shoot 50 feet.
Just another comment, I actually like the rail on top of the new NF's. I'm mildly pissed off that the spring is less strong, but other than that, I like the look of the gun better.
