Both of these guns can shoot straight through my ERTL RFS Box at 60 feet away, and get ranges of 105+ on the first shot, with about a 7 foot range drop to the last shot, due to the deadspace.

Some of my current WIP'S:

I got this sneakshot from Blue at BAFF 2. He had already couplered the PT and installed a pump. I went ahead and PETG'd the PT and rigged a couplered 2k tank up to the pump. Sorry, no pics of the sneakshot's PT/Internals. Still need to integrate the tank into the front grip.

Posted Image

Overhauled Big Bad Bow. At2k integration, plunger head replacement, dead-space removal, universal cpvc/pvc coupler. I will use a brass breech with this, when completed.

Posted Image

PETG'D Stormfire. 4 inch PETG barrel. Still needs a new o-ring, e-taped plunger head, and some lube. Otherwise, it is good to go.

Nitefinder replacement plunger tube. Made out of 1' PETG along with a CPVC coupler hammered into a PVC coupler. I use a 12 inch PETG Barrel, nested in PVC, with this gun, and I am very happy with it. Currently out of the shell for some touch-up work on the internals.

Also, can someone please help me re-size my pictures? Thanks all.

No paint job intended. Very practical blaster, ranges well over 80'. Works flawlessly with modded n-strike clips.

#243978 Modifying A Longshot?

Posted by HOTH on 26 July 2009 - 03:56 AM in Modifications

Muwahaha. Excellent. I have begun my crusade for a primary weapon, and the LS is well on its way to being that.

As a side note, I know that TIG did a mod so that the LS's clip would accept Stefans in a friendly manner, but is there any way to make it so that both gun and clip accept stock taggers?

If not, is there any particular recommended method of modifying taggers so that they fit?

Sorry about the swift inquiry, but I have a birthday party on Sunday, and I desperately need to mod my LS so that it can beat the crap out of the competition. Expect to see me at several SoCal Nerf-Offs.

Thank you, Sir Piney, for the gift of this thread. *Boweth*

First post, by the way. Expect to see more, and hello all.

I shall become the modificationator. I have ambitious plans for making some truly BAMF guns.

for your tagged inquiry, try galaxy's cpvc' mod ( look for it in the directory) but replace every cpvc' with PVC. might be worth a shot

Posted by HOTH on 24 February 2013 - 10:13 PM in Modifications

Anyone have any of their own performance results to report on? You guys bought up over 60 of these things. Someone's gotta have something to say about it.

I will have an extensive writeup involving these motors completed and posted for the Mod Contest by Tuesday. I can record a bunch of different stats in my testing when everything is up and running. There are some neat intricacies to the mod, as well.

#327354 The BEST upgrade motor for the Stryfe (after extensive testing) is...

Posted by HOTH on 26 February 2013 - 05:17 PM in Modifications

Could the flywheels simply be lightly sanded?

Seems risky to me. You really don't want to leave much to human inaccuracy when dealing with the flywheels. It is important that they are balanced.

I am posting a writeup later tonight probably which has an interesting take on the slick flywheels.

#327695 The BEST upgrade motor for the Stryfe (after extensive testing) is...

Posted by HOTH on 06 March 2013 - 11:55 AM in Modifications

Not having done any testing, but slugs probably wouldn't work since the flywheel needs to compress the dart slightly. The metal washers in slugs would prevent that from happening.

This.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with using stock elites with these flywheel blasters. If they are too light, hot glue a weight down in the head.

Posted by HOTH on 05 March 2013 - 10:57 AM in Modifications

I have not run the motors for longer than 15 seconds with three or four UltraFires out of fear of destroying them so I can't confirm how long it takes to fry them.
.

I have about 12 of these motors, and I am willing to test the time it takes for them to burn out while receiving current at 12 and 16 volts. I will post a video on this thread with that test later
tonight, assuming my ulrafires arrive today.

#325832 Question to all you modders

Posted by HOTH on 26 January 2013 - 12:03 AM in General Nerf

They need to bring back vintage blasters like splitfires crossbows and air techs

I don't that would be all that great. And it would definitely not happen.

People who already have those "vintage" blasters would be upset at the depreciation
The plastic sucks
They do not conform to the ever changing safety standards
Hasbro would have to use a different plastic from what they use now, and thus use the old molds
Most of those blasters were not even designed/engineered under the Hasbro regime. So, that would not work well either. Kenner and Larami (technically, Hasbro acquired the nerf line in 1991, which predates most vintage blasters. however, Kenner and Larami still had most control over the blaster production until like 2000, hence guns like the Crossbow and Splitfire bear the Kenner text and not Hasbro)

It just makes no sense for them to do that. Plus, they do not out-preform (to a great extent) the contemporary blasters. So why would kids buy them? They do not know how "vintage", or valuable they are to us.

#325840 Question to all you modders

Posted by HOTH on 26 January 2013 - 12:51 AM in General Nerf

They are obnoxiously loud and scare my kids and pets .

Well I can't argue with that, but I rather like them. Gives a modding challenge.

That being said, a good suggestion to Hasbro would, I suppose, to improve on the flywheel design. I am talking quieter, more accurate, and compatible with other types of darts.

#325818 Question to all you modders

Posted by HOTH on 25 January 2013 - 09:31 PM in General Nerf

Bring back the longshot!

Not happening.

They are looking for new technologies, and the longshot was a clunky and inefficient design. I would personally like to see more electronic blasters because it seems to reinvigorate the mods on the forums and what not. Some really cool stuff can be done with them. And for those that are not a fan of electronic blasters, there's always eBay. At the end of the day, Hasbro will do what they think is most popular among the 8 year old kids, not the post-pubescent forum dwellers who enjoy voiding their warrantees. Although there are ideas that we think would be great to work with, the majority of their purchases come from kids who do not plan on opening up the blaster to examine its defects and strengths.

Edit-

Flywheels

Flywheels are the bomb

#271381 'geddon 'leven Date Set July 10, 2010

Posted by HOTH on 05 April 2010 - 11:48 AM in Nerf Wars

BAFF Road Trip!

Pretty sure I'm there on any date, but other travelers may have the obvious conflict on the weekend of the 3rd.

Renting a car worked out fine last year, hopefully I'll need something bigger this year, and have other BAFF folks along sharing the gas expense, and maybe even the driving.

But a huge part of what made my trip great last year was the hospitality of the folks who lent me a couch for Friday and Saturday nights.

BAFF road trip would be insane, haha. I'm sure all of the dates work for me, probably 10th preferred.

#263620 Finding A Blaster For A Friend In A Power Chair.

Posted by HOTH on 28 January 2010 - 10:48 PM in General Nerf

A nicely made LpL might do nicely. It gets great range for its size and requires the same reloading activities as a NF...

If he used an Lpl, he would be fucked indoors. Since I should contribute, air guns would work the best, because he could pump it up, then scoot around with it primed, as opposed to having to prime a springer after each shot. So, an RF20 is a great solution, or MS with some clip mods and OPR removal. Of course, you could do what foamfoot said and actually hook it up to some shit, but I honestly do not know how much work you wanna put into this.

What do you guys think about having melee weapons at this war and missiles?

@ aquinas- I too am looking forward to see y'all nerfers again and this time there will be more rscb than ever haha. If things go right i think there will be 7 rscb 4b there and that's just my guests. haha

Melee weapons would be really fun. I have a few nerf swords laying around, and melee is pretty awesome.

If you noticed, I am not there. My test went 1.5 hours too long, rendering me without a ride, and with little time left in the war anyway. I just got home, and neither parents could drive me, because the test went way over the time they said it would end. I am sorry to Jake, Blue and Flipoffacliff. Jake: all four of your guns are completed, and I hope to give them to you in Feb. Blue, I was selling you a 2k and you were selling me a LB. I am sorry those fell through, but I am still game for the deal in Feb. FOAC: you were purchasing a DTB from me. All these deals still stand for next month.

Wow, really? We postpone our date so you could make it and you bail on us? That's messed up.

I'm actually happy with it later in the month. I don't know about you guys, but the 20th is perfect for me. More time for blaster-prep.
