#63259 An Actual Semi-auto Design
Posted by DTReaper on 07 September 2005 - 03:06 PM in Homemades
The blue is a pvc airtank that holds a constant psi.
The green is a tube that goes into the plunger assembly.
The orange is an airtight O-ring on the plunger and in front of a spring.
The pink is a string that pulls down the front air regulator piece that is basicly a piece of brass with hole in half of it and closed the other half and this is nested between two O-rings. When the trigger is pulled it opens the air regulator releasing the air and the pressure allowing the plunger to move forward. There is another air regulator under the plunger that is opened when the trigger is unpulled and closed when the trigger is pulled halfway back. So every time the trigger is pulled it releases the plunger and stored psi. and then unpulled the airtank pushes the plunger back.
Please note this is theoretical but is quite a good design.

#63418 Basic Mods To Improve Nf Range And Functionallity
Posted by DTReaper on 10 September 2005 - 12:00 PM in Modifications
This is not a right up.
1.take out the air restricters (obvious but still).
2.Replace barrel (again obvious but necesary).
3.Replace or strech spring (the often overlooked but very effective thing to do)(Even though it loses its lifespan it increases range and you can just get another spring).
4. Put E- tape under the O-ring on the plunger to get a better seal or you could replace the O-ring with another bigger better sealing O-ring. (often not done).
5.spray silicon spray on the O-ring (Essential).
6. add rubber bands or bungees or surgical tubing (blatantly obvious and most common done).
7. Cut off ammo holders and put brass in the batteries area (more holsterable).
8.cut sights off for faster drawing speed (losing risk of catching on clothing or holster).
9.take out light to make it lighter less weight or to put something else in its place (sspb).
10.Put some RTV silicon sealent on end of plunger head (sound decreased).
11. add a silencer (more silent).
12. Chop off the cocking handle at the end and add a key ring or zip tie or something there to reduce kick. I think I first saw that in Thirst's TTG mod. I don't think it's a problem on NFs too much with kick, but mine does send darts a few inches high and that might help.(props to nerfmoney at hq for this one)
13. add more barrels (ie. ompa's nf20)
Any more basic or more complex mods for the night finder (not right ups) that help to improve range, accuracy, or functionallity please post them or your thoughts and comments.
1,2,3,5,6,10 and 11 can be used in any spring gun.
-DTReaper
edit: Personally I did numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9, and 10 and it now has a very very high volocity(sp.) and it looks as though it could leave bruises.

#64278 New Clip
Posted by DTReaper on 24 September 2005 - 08:13 PM in Homemades
the red is a T joint cut in half, the light blue is pvc, the brown is either balsa wood or sheet metal, the dark blue is a hinge and the white part is another peice of balsa or metal that opens to allow stefans in. the two prongs on the outside are to pull down so the dart goes all the way in to the chamber.
In the second oneit shows the inside. This clip is based off of the other clips I have seen.
So thoughts, questions, and opinions?

#64675 Easier Way To Make Bacon Darts
Posted by DTReaper on 30 September 2005 - 03:38 PM in Homemades
- A piece of cpvc (or something else depending on dart size but I use micros)
- A dremal
- A piece of paper
- Tape
- Protractor and ruler
-Ok so what I did is this I took the piece of paper and the protractor and made a 10-degree angle on it.
-Then I took the ruler made a mark a quarter of an inch over and drew another 10-degree angle on it on that mark.
-Then I cut the piece of paper down to fit around the outside of the piece of cpvc.
-I then taped it there an used a dremal to cut on the lines and on the top to get a space in there that is 1 inch long (this measurement depends on length of the dart I use 1 and a quart so that’s what I use) a quarter of an inch thick and at a 10 degree angle.
- Then all you do is put a dart in and use a high melt glue gun to burn in the edge then rotate it so the template is on the other side of the dart and you are finished, you now have a spiraled dart. This should improve accuracy.
Note 10 degrees may be too little and tests are still being conducted.
Please give me your thoughts comments and questions.

#64709 Dartsmithing Tips Archive
Posted by DTReaper on 30 September 2005 - 10:25 PM in Darts and Barrels
Well as far as I know there are a few things that effect accuracy, range and power on a dart.
They are weight, spiraling, size (both diameter and length), guns power, barrel length, and conical or non conical head.
The heavier the weight usually the farter but slower and reaches its max speed farther away. it goes until you reach a weight in which you start losing range or its best weight as I call it. If it is lighter it has higher speed at close range but lacks the punch and range heavier darts have so…
within ten to like 20 feet lighter darts are better and any further you probably want heavier darts. That's at least my theory on darts and as for spiraling it is the same principal as a bullet and the difference between the revolutionary war and the civil war (AKA muskets vs. rifles). but with spin you usually decrease range because energy is being used to spin the dart out of the barrel and therefore loses a certain degree of power. The solid darts however do not spin unless the barrel is rifled so therefore it doesn't lose any energy to spinning. As for the conical head it makes the dart more aerodynamic and therefore has less air resistance and therefore it has more range. as for diameter of the dart the thinner the better the range due again to wind resistance.
And so ends my rambling theories on darts and range and spiraling.

#64782 Stefan Theory
Posted by DTReaper on 01 October 2005 - 09:31 PM in General Nerf
distance=(massXpower of gun)/wind resistance
That is distance equals mass times power of the gun divided by wind resistance.
But mass can only equal a certain percent of the power of the gun (currently undetermined).
Also the less mass th faster it accelorates (sp?) and the higher the top speed but it gets less distace it gets. the heavier it is the slower it moves but it gets better range and hits harder,
So thats my theory please add your thoughts opinians and questions and I'll get back to you as soon as I can thank you.

They all lacked range but the the auto had a great ROF and the small pistol got better accuracy. The gun company is called Imperial if you care to look for the guns.
