After time looking at stock long-shots I wanted something that has never been done, an automatic long-shot.
I would try this mod my self but I have no experience at long-shot modification. The concept relies on two possible ways of cocking it, and one way of simply holding down the trigger to shoot.
First, lets go through the Cocking methods, shall we?
1. Using a Motor and a swivel, that are powered by a well-placed momentary switch (connected to a battery of course) behind the trigger's motion area, we activate the motor and swivel, that should provide a well timed speed and force to cock the gun automatically without having multiple darts shoot out like a shotgun.
2. Using the motor/swivel/momentary switch thing, we can make it so that there's one more thing that completes the circuit. That thing being a receiving IR (for the electronics newbies, IR=Infra-red) LED and a emitting IR LED at the sides of the muzzle of the longshot, so that when the dart fires, the dart blocks the LEDs, activates the circuit and cocks the gun (rinse, repeat and enjoy).
Now lets cover the trigger part.
The mod until now isn't considered automatic since you would have to press the trigger again for each shot. So to make it so you don't have to either cock it, or press the trigger multiple times, we have to adapt the firing mechanism to be able to use a thing similar to the Nerf Raider's Slam Shot mode (You press the trigger and just cock the gun to fire). Making it possible to be lazy and just pull the trigger.
And by the way, I know most of these kinds of posts are not well received but I felt the urge for some one to recognize my idea because I'm pretty sure that an experienced modder like CS and Angel could pull it off if my theory is correct.

#245117 Speed Loader Vs. Breech

General Nerf
As renegade said, its personal preference. Also it depends on what type of gun you use. Like with Long guns (as in physical length) such as x-bows, its more comfortable to have the loading method closer to where your hands are actually acting (trigger, priming handle/pump) so that way you don't have to go medieval and load it like an actual crossbow. And with pistols, since their bodies are small, there's not really a way to fit a breech in them, so speed-loaders are ideal.
Big guns, big money-small money, equal cash.

As we all know stream-lines suck some serious ass. I too don't see why would you use stream-lines in an angel breech. But if you really need to be able to use them, just change the sizes of your brass and since streamlines are too long for a breech go beyond the imagined! Just cut them shorter with an crafting knife or something.

#251446 Cheap-o Homemade Ammo Belt
Posted by

Homemades
I was looking at the homemades section and saw accessories for the guns... then I said "Why isn't there as much actual homemade accessories as there used to be?". Then I saw my painter's tape. It popped an idea in my head. To make a uber-cheap-o ammo belt.
So basically, you need the following:
-Wide tape, (preferably duct-tape)
-1/2 CPVC or 1/2 PVC
-Pipe cutters, hacksaw and miter-box, or anything that can get a nice cut.
-Scissors
-Hot glue and Glue gun
-A brain that doesn't include ignorance
-2 working hands
So take your tape, and cut 2 pieces long enough to fit around your waist, and a little more, depending on how much CPVC/PVC you plan on using.
Now take your CPVC/PVC and cut it maybe a 1/2 inch short of the width of your tape. If you are using CPVC, you might want to use a dremel to make the ID a little bit bigger so you can slide your dart in and out.
With that done, you can take your pieces of pipe and lay them down on the tape (as you can see, my cuts were horrible). Leave maybe 1/4-1/2" between each piece so it's somewhat flexible unlike mine.
Afterwards, take your other piece of tape and apply a little hot-glue and lay your piece of tape on top of the other segment as flush with the edges as possible.
The last step is to fold the tape under the piece of pipe so your darts don't fall out.
And you are done! You can personalize yours and unlike me, you can apply more pipe to hold more darts (just remember to leave space between the section and section so your pants' straps for belts are free.) Also, you might want to add some way to make a "buckle" of some sort.
Note: This is my first write-up, and I might have screwed up in someway, so if I did, please tell me, but don't throw me over for it.

Actually SirTofu, I used this in a micro war with my friends (I always win because I'm the only one modding guns 
) And it proved very helpful.
Also, I considered using my pockets, but since I normally wear jeans and skinny pants, I thought they would crumple in my pocket, and I would have to stand up to reach for it comfortably (I need to stand up to get stuff in my pockets for some reason)

#254137 Nf Coupler Problems

General Nerf
Ok, so I re-barreled my old NF's Gengar style coupler, into the "No dead-space coupler mod", and noticed a pretty bad difference in ranges.
What I improved other than the coupler mod was that I added an extra spring, weaker than a maverick spring, same diameter as it, and the same length as a NF spring. I replaced the E-Tape with hot-glue because I couldn't find my E-Tape. I did notice that I may have placed the coupler of center, because I didn't see where to start E-taping the coupler and how far back to place it in the plunger tube.
The ranges went down by 10-15 ft.
The spring I added is the one in the middle.
I'm using 4 inch barrels, which worked in its last version, and are not working very well here.

jmwasko, That is a very good suggestion, seeing as I could probably make a holster around the same concept (although of course I will need stronger materials for it) but belt or no belt there should be space between each ammo holder, so they do not end up being a sort of tablet on you waist rather than them being according to your shape.

Seems simple. I'm guessing here, but I think that a good way to get consistency is either to make a mold or in the mid-point of the drying of the hot glue, you shape it with your fingers or something. I'm leaning towards the mold.

Hmm, lets see, in the according 2000 census, 2010 was to have 72.2 million children in general, a large portion being 8-11 and 13-17. We– The approx. NIC are around 27,000 people of all ages, if we are assuming that we are all active members. Though I am a 7th grader, my math says that the NIC is 0.03% of the children of United States; considering the fact that not every single child in america buys nerf products, we are really looking at a cipher of around 0.07% of the people that nerf are from the NIC. Now, that last number may not be accurate, but its a lot closer than most of you expected. Even if we got 1 million kids to not buy ANY of the newer guns, we would still be 1%. We can't fight it. If you want good guns, run a company your self.

This can make the bolt-sled snap easier due to concentrating the stress on one side of it, instead of distributing it throughout. I think you should have put the charging handle in/on the bolt-nub, where there's the pin that holds the bolt-sled and the bolt (barrel thing) together. Also, you could cut the tactical rail off the original slide, throw the slide away, and glue the rail on the top of the gun.
