#122692 Using Two "cylinders" To Fire More Darts For Rapid Fire 20

I respect your thought process on this and it may well be possible for you to build, but you can get the same net result by combining two conventional RF20s like FA_24 did. Or you could do what I do and just dual-wield the weapons. You can still lay down 40 rounds in ~3 seconds.

Isn't the point of the fins to stabilize the missile in flight? What is keeping your pool noodle from spiral out of control when fired?
Simply the weight in the front, just like a regular dart. The fins help, but they may not be necessary.

Yes, I looked at all the mod writeups and searched. So I just modded my new Titan just like ompa, basic AR removal, pump plug, and barrel. The barrel is 18" CPVC. It works fine up to about 15 pumps. If I pump it more, range goes down drastically. I know most people pump plugged Titans 25 pumps or so, right? I don't hear any air leaking while I pump it up, and when I fire it sounds like a big whoosh. Ideas?

It's really kinda weird. It's like 15 pumps is OK, and then 16 it goes like half as far. I'll crack it open tomorrow and see if I can find anything screwy.

I doubt it's my darts, even though they are light (one BB) since they don't do anything weird out of the barrel. What's the check valve? Is it the valve that connects to the Hornet? Or maybe the pressure gauge?

More like 2 per second.Oh my god, that's fast! does it really shoot that fast or is it their usual overestimation?It says on the outside of the box 3 shots a second.I had asked earlier what the RoF is like and never got an answer. The videos I've seen never shot it very much and the batteries were dead. Is it fast like the RF20 or is kind of like the semi auto version of the RF20. Or slower?
I measured ranges and I have stock ranges
stock: 30 feet.
minor modded: 50-60 feet.
I cant wait to take out the the primary AR Inside the gun. This could end up being a full auto NF.
Also the gun really does take 6 d batteries it weighs quite a bit. *sarcasm* can someone airmail me a screwdriver?*sarcasm*
No matter where you are, the nearest hardware store will have your small screwdriver for around $5 or less.

Thats going to be one of the first things Il be diong to this when it comes into my hands.I don't think it would be that hard to convert it to run off of rechargeable batteries kind of like an RC car
Yeah, I kinda laugh at all the people who complain about the 6 D batteries. I doubt I'll even buy the stock batteries, since I'll have it running on lithium polymer batteries in about 5 minutes.

You might try extending the tubes, and running them outside the shell through holes to accomodate the lack of internal space in the Mav shell. Then, after a paintjob, it'd basically look like some alien gun with tubes full of goo-like shit all over the place.
I thought about that, but I found an LBB at my local Walgreens and I'm gonna use that instead. Luckily I didn't destroy the Mav, so I can use it for something else.

OK, I've got my PETG barrels on. I tried 3" on the first one and noticed that they fired further when they weren't shoved all the way in. 2" barrels on the 2nd one worked much better. There's also no need to glue the barrels, just dremel out the tabs at the base of the barrel stub and wrap about 1.5 turns of E tape on the PETG.

Wow. I just picked up some of these and 5 minutes later I've already got the ARs out. Give me another 10 minutes and I'll have PETG barrels. Truly an amazing gun. The barrels, trigger, and pump are only connected with tube, if we could figure out how to extend the tubes, you can put the trigger and pump anywhere on another gun you want.

Looks like he cut that barrel a little short, probably by accident. The bases are all the same height. There's only one airtank for all 3 barrels BTW.

I cut the hoses off and hot glued in some temporary tubes to make sure it worked, no problems with it. I tried to integrate two of them into a Mav shell, but there just isn't room for all the tubing. It's a shame because the Mav drum matches the barrel pattern exactly. I don't really have a good candidate to integrate them into, I could really use an LBB.

I found some nifty plastic barb connectors today. They fit the Nerf tubing perfectly, and come in T's and butt connectors. They are called Rain-Drip, and are available at hardware stores and gardening places.

Why not just relocate the "Detonator" along the side of the handle of your gun... so that you can press it with your thumb and still use the trigger of the other gun? that's what I'll be doing when I get some more tubing connectors.

That's one way to do it. I'm going to try a simply string-pull type trigger today, we'll see if it works.

Absolutely incredible. I think to take full advantage of HPA, however, you should add drop-and-swap turrets. The slowest part of reloading an RF20 is always shoving all the darts into the barrels. Thanks for mentioning my spacers on that beast!

Very nice, this looks a lot like my original NF rifle, I taped two NF plungers together just like you did. You're not going to get the full benefit out of the larger plunger unless you use a longer barrel and ram stefans all the way down it, however. I might have to get one of these and try it myself, although I'm a little turned off by the price. I saw one at Fred Meyer for about $25 I think. Great mod!

I know, this is a noobish question. But no matter how much I search, I can't figure out what the hell a speedloader actually does. It looks just like a short section of tube taped on top of the main barrel in all the pictures I've seen. Does it just hold an extra dart for you so you don't have to dig it out of your pocket or something?
#103743 Six Barrel Lbb

So with 6 barrels from one gun, you would need most likely a minimum of 10 inch barrels. Just a suggestion, it still looks kick-ass that way.
Um you lost me there... It currently has 10 inch barrels.
And Again no I havn't had a chance to fire any thing other then stock darts out of it.
I think what he meant was that six 10 in. barrels is equivalent in air volume to one 60 in. barrel. So if the gun fires good with a single 18 in. barrel, your barrels should be roughly 3 inches long. I would add a little bit for the length of the dart though, 5-6 inches with stefans sounds about right.

Kickass!!
Mind if I ask you how you got that black rear handle case off the RF 20?
I just bought one 2 days ago, and I tried to open up the gun, but that 1 piece wouldn't let me. I really don't want to have to resort to violence with it since it's such a great gun. But I really want to slice those pegs off, so got any tips?
This piece was a major bitch to get off on both my RF20s. You have to cut the glue all the way around between the black and gray pieces before it will come off. I used a knife and pried the hell out of it. Don't expect the black piece to look too great once you're through with it.

I have just started selling a barrel spacer for the RF20 that aligns the barrels so they're all straight. Works with PETG, and possibly other barrel types, I just haven't tried them yet.

#119818 Rf 20 Or Magstrike?

General Nerf
Having both, I like the RF20 a little better, simply because of the 20 shot capacity. My modified Magstrike shoots a little harder, and I think it also empties the ammo faster. It's really a personal choice. If you go with an RF20, expect to take several minutes of reloading and pumping, and then simply blasting the crap out of an opponent indoors. For both guns I have had great success replacing the barrels with OMC's PETG.

Totally. This guy has around 5 threads all with various RF20 questions.

The other thing to keep in mind is that although the pipe is rated at that pressure, the glue joints are more variable and could fail at a much lower pressure. Always use the primer and PVC cement for a pressure tank.

Did you machine the barrel support too or did you buy and then drilled the holes? And if you're looking to do stuff to the inside you could sand down the release valve on the bladder and cover the bladder with 50 of the long balloons for a higher firing pressure.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, nice job! It's as clean as everything else you do.
I cut and drilled them custom out of .25" polycarbonate. I thought about the release valve mod, but I don't see the point since it gets off all 20 shots anyway. I did do that mod to my Magstrike though. Banding makes me nervous.
