Yep. I tried it. It works but not as well as the LS. Also you are gonna have to dremel the Squash out of both sides of the bolt and the receiver part. I can now shoot Taggers pretty consistently , but I still have trouble with Micros.

The other day I picked up a "SpiderMan 3 nerf dart tag blaster at TRU for 12 bucks. I Immedetly modded one with brass barrels. The first day it was working pretty good and getting about 55 feet. The next day my friends and I were having a small war in a nearby park and I decided to bring my new smdtg's along to accompony my maxshot. At first they were working about the same and getting about 45 feet. But Then I noticed that every about 10th shot the darts would fire >30 feet. As the day progressed the problems got worse, until I was misfirng about every 3 shots. When I got home I checked for leaks by submerging the blaster in water, I found None. Then just to be sure I opened it up , rechecked and then hotglued around of all the valves and barrels. But sure enough the first time I tested It I was dissapointed with 30 foot or less ranges. These guns seem to have potential , but I need to find out whats wrong. Any help Is appreaciated.
Edit- I modded the other one with AR removeal and am having a simlar problem.
Also all ranged are with the included stock taggers.
Please contibute your help.

Yes! Finally a war in Maine! Mkay so here are the dates that work for me I am booked solid through July with the exception of the 26th. Also I am leaving for MN on the 5th where I am attending that MN war with the acronym thingy. I could go to this war if it was on the 26th of July and the 2nd of August. I think I have a good park in mind. The only problem with it is that is has a path around the outside that is walked by a moderate amount of people other than that it is a perfect place. It has bathrooms and a nice small market with snacks , energy drinks and ice cream nearby.
Here is the park on google maps
http://maps.google.c...009699&t=h&z=17
Scroll around the park to see all the possible playing areas. It is surrounded by woods on one side and a path and a river on the other.
Hope this works out
Edit: I could bring between 1 and 2 attendees with me.

I just modded my at2k but when i pump it air seems to be leaking out where the plastic goo holding part of the good gauge meets the orange part of the goo gauge. To fix this problem i first tried unscrewing the orange goo gauge part then when i put it back together the problem was still there. Then lining the area with hot glue where the leak was happing. But still no fixo. When i pump it i can fully hear the air leaking out and after about 7 seconds after if pump it there is no air left at all.
I know im kinda a Knewblet but this is about my 5th mod. Can any one help me out?

Before I do this I should remove all the old hot glue right? Also does this problem definetly sound like a bad goo tank and not a bad pump plug?No, don't just go in blindly and start gluing everything. I made this mistake once, and I'll never do it again. It ruined my Magstrike. Put soapy water over the general area of where you think the leak is, then pump up the gun. Wherever bubbles start forming is where your leak is at. Wash the thing off, and put Plumbers Goop over that area. Wait 24-48 hours and it should be good.
I just want to make sure before i go buy plumbers goop.

Then drill the hole in the pump caseing a little bit bigger until it is the size of the threads. Then put plumbers goop on the treads and screw it into the hole you just drilled. Then just put some more plumbers goop on it until its airtight. Problem Solved.

Jackster has the right part number, but a nonsensical price.
There's no big secret to navigating McMaster. Just start you search with a generic term like "pipe" or "plastics" the refine by type, size, shape, material, price, or specification.
Wait... It was 17 bucks with shipping. Just checked the invoice. I got a 10 foot insanely heavy duty shipping tube. It was worth the money.
The tube cost 10 bucks. It is the most hard core shipping tube I have EVER seen. And I bought the item.

Fist off yes, the title is a that's what she said joke on purpose.
Now for my real question. How tight do I want my darts in their barrel? I am using a Maxshot and will soon upgrade to a ETRL pump action shotgun. My stefans are tight in cpvc. While I do not have to twist them in, I can NOT blow them down the barrel what-so-ever. In 17/32nds brass the fit is similar to cpvc but a bit looser. In PETG my darts are very loose. They are about as loose as can be without sliding up and down. I can NOT slide the darts by shaking the PETG though. I am using a CPVC coupler on my maxshot as of now, with 9'' of CPVC. My question to you guys is "What type of barrel set-up should I use in my high powered springers? I can never really get a straight answer. Because I have never warred with anyone besides my inexperienced friends I am unsure of which barrel set up will give me the best range/accuracy. Also I am using both C_S style felt and washer stefans along with 3 copper bb stefans. Please help me put an end to this on going question in my head.
Thanks,
Jack

You took the turret off my old maxshot? Oh well. I would strongly reccomend a nested brass barrel of 3 inches of 17/32 nested into 9 inches of 9/16, all nested in PVC, and jammed into a coupler. I tried this, and I have very similar fitting darts to you (tight in CPVC, and loose in OMC petg)
Hope this helps.
Sorry, but yes I did take the turret off of the maxshot. It got to be a pain, and its range was only OK. Thanks for the advice about the barrel set up. And the maxshot is still holding strong.

Hi, i'm wondering what size o rings are the ds and nf because i'm going to the hardware store to buy them and are they the same sizes?
You could just bring the plunger tube. I do not recall the actual #'s though. Just bring the tube and ask them for a o-ring that fits.

I am not sure about you, but all of my brass comes with little stickers telling the size of the pipe. After I take off those stickers I have to be sure to completely sand off all of the residue or the brass has trouble sliding. Try that.

Yes, OMC knows. It was a joke. He was implying that if you claim that you had to ride your bike to the dart because it was so far away, then you're full of shit because a dart won't go that far.
There is, but one exception, that any of the few MENWar participants can tell you about.
The story is: 1" dart fired vertically out of a plugged 2k, that had been pumped 10 times. Got caught in some sort of strong wind or jetstream. We watched it go for a long ways, before finally falling. When we located it, it was 500-600' away from where it was fired.
True story.
It was INSANE. It flew, and flew, and flew. It grew WINGS.
But nice idea. Same thing as those wheels that you can roll across the ground. Very Clever.

Hello. I am thinking of buying a Zoom-O catch fire ball gun. As seen at Target.com http://www.target.co.....h fire&page=1
However I am unsure of if nerf "ballistic" balls will fit and fire well in this gun. This is huge factor over wether I buy the gun or not and I would like to now.
Someone please give me a answer.
Thanks.

On topic- Nice job, while it would sort of be a pain to keep changing the co2 cartridge after every few rounds, it is still pretty cool. If I were you I would install a deodorant clip system like FA24 did on his BBB.
