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.

It is currently primed up top, but that is getting kinda difficult

Posted Image

Hoping to switch things up

Posted Image

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

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.

Old Style Supermaxx 1500. 12inch PETG Barrels, plugged pump. 100+ ranges with 4 pumps. This one was recently traded to Dragon216, but I have 2 more awaiting barrel spacers.
Posted Image

PETG Barrel Lock n' Load. PVC Sheath. Great sidearm.
Posted Image

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.

PETG Barrel Dart Tag Blaster. Pretty Good

More to come!!!!

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

#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

I can't wait to get some Li-Ion batteries.

What product are you planning on purchasing? Ultra fires?

#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.

#327294 The BEST upgrade motor for the Stryfe (after extensive testing) is...

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.

#327651 The BEST upgrade motor for the Stryfe (after extensive testing) is...

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.

#327742 Coop's Stryfe Modification Write-Up

Posted by HOTH on 07 March 2013 - 01:53 AM in Modifications

I have tried numerous motor replacements and have tried to find ways to increase traction on the flywheels, but I am not satisfied with anything to the point of adding it to this tutorial.

Even the solarbotics RM2's? I was under the impression that people were getting great results with those things.

#327765 Coop's Stryfe Modification Write-Up

Posted by HOTH on 07 March 2013 - 02:16 PM in Modifications

Have you considered having the dart pass through both flywheels for better range? Or would that just might make it fish-tale even more? You could just run a barrel from flywheel to flywheel. But like I said, it might make it fish-tale more.... And I love the idea of integrating a LED to make the darts glow. That method could be used in a Vigolon or Diatron, (Or other Vortex Blasters), to make glow disks glow in those.

Well, I have done the dual flywheel idea. It works very well.
Here are some teaser pictures. A write up for this is coming tomorrow.

Posted Image

I can understand why you may feel that this provides no foreseeable advantage. What truly gives this method power is acceleration. The motors are wired in series, with the second set first. This means batteries are used up at a slower rate and that the first set moves slightly slower. The dart accelerates though the barrel.

I have not experienced fish tailing, and vastly outperforms my other stryfe with one set of the same motors.

#243976 My Pump Action Longshot

Very nice and clean. I can imagine, for me atleast, the foregrip would be very comfy and easy. Nice mod

That is very cool. Very cool. I do like my trusty peg boards, though. Also, sexy first post man.

#243962 Cpvc Longshot

Posted by HOTH on 26 July 2009 - 01:20 AM in Modifications

I really like cpvc'd longshots, especially yours. I am in the process of modding one of my longshots, and was planning on galaxy's cpvd'd LS, but now I might rethink ^_^

Nice job with the breech. I am actually pretty surprised with the ranges without a powerstock. Keep going!

#243794 Pretty And Removable Pump-action Recon Mod

Posted by HOTH on 25 July 2009 - 03:29 AM in Modifications

I was planing something like that as well, only I was going to do it more like Slug's LS foregrip. I think your idea is great though! It saves resources. Nice mod and write-up

This gun is beautiful. I agree with Hipponater, in the sense that you could probably fit about 3 more rear-loading holes. Great job again.

#255798 Recon Cs-6 And Ertl Rapid Fire Shot Gun Mod

Posted by HOTH on 09 November 2009 - 07:16 PM in Modifications

That is very clean and it looks extremely functional. Props. Mad props. How does the size/weight compare to a standard blaster? and, 75 is pretty good for a recon's brass breech, isn't it? Generally, recon's angel breeches are pretty poor, correct? Awesome job, again.

Brilliant. The guns are insanely comfortable. Quite a primary.

#327197 2013 New Releases Mod Contest

Posted by HOTH on 22 February 2013 - 05:37 PM in News

Last few clarification questions.

Is the price of blasters or materials considered in their respective availabilities?

Where does a soldering gun stand in terms of availability?

#327086 2013 New Releases Mod Contest

Posted by HOTH on 20 February 2013 - 03:50 PM in News

I am going to assume, the only Elite blasters excluded will be the Retaliator, Rampage and Hailfire since those came out in Sept. 2012, but everything else (despite when found) I believe has a release date of 2013.

I think this is correct. Important to note that the N-Strike Rayven was released in 2012, but the Elite Rayven was released in 2013.
Langley- Seeing as two versions of this blaster were released in different years, does it matter which one we use? To my knowledge, the only difference is color. I only ask because I have a few of the N-Strike versions already, but none of the Elite versions.

Refer to this disambiguation page to ensure their release dates.

Also, some of the parts in my speculated writeup are not often used by nerfers, and may be obscure to some people. However, I will provide a link to purchase the parts easily online within the writeup. Does this satisfy rule 4,

The write-up must be reproducible. All parts and materials must be widely available and tools used must be common to most nerfers.

or will I lose some points?
The writeup will be thorough enough so that someone new to modding will be able to understand exactly what to do with the parts.

#243969 The 'real' Longshot [cpvc Coupler]

Posted by HOTH on 26 July 2009 - 01:47 AM in Modifications

My personal favorite LS mod. Congrats and props. Working on this at the moment. Just to clarify, the piece of cpvc inserted into the chamber is only used to stabilize the coupler, then is removed after the coupler is glued on firmly? Am I correct on that assumption?

Springer, I assume?

wouldn't one assume so? due to the spring in the pics...
