I use ACE foam.
It is a little dark, but I like it. It isn't super over-sized like most other FBR brands. It is a little tight in CPVC, but works great in 9/16" brass (and most likely OMC's PETG as well, though I have not tried yet).

While I'm not as excited as other members about this new gun...
...Thanks for the insider info, OMC. It is greatly appreciated.
I agree with FA_24. I am really glad Hasbro is making a completely new Nerf gun rather than re-making old stuff.

I like to rotate guns, so the game is never the same. Once the ownage is too intense, I switch them out for something else.
I also have extra guns to loan out to friends too. Guns are fun to mod and collect (for me).

Bravo, Captain Slug!
Your work never fails to amaze me. That turreted +Bow looks incredible! I'd love to see a side-by-side shot with FA_24's Doomsayer.
I think you did a great job capturing the essense of the original Crossbow and adding to it. I read through the instruction guide, and I must say that this gun is built to survive! The entire thing must be incredibly robust!
Again, great job!

I've got a quick question, CS, about the parts list.
On page 13, you listed parts that are bought in bulk and then other sets of parts.
but then over at http://www.captainsl...om/plusbow.html, the parts list says:
So my question is: are we supposed to buy the 1/4" Thick 12" x 24" or the 1/4" thick 12" x 12" ?
Thanks again!
On another note, I PM'd you about some other plus-bow related things. Sorry for bothering you!
On page 13, you listed parts that are bought in bulk and then other sets of parts.

85805K26 - Gray Tinted Polycarbonate Sheet 1/8" Thick, 12" X 12" = $5.16 Each

Nerf sightings eh?
Here we go.
Married with children. I saw Peggy bud and kelly unload on Al Bundy with Ballzookas.
The late show with David letterman, I saw him on load on buttercup with a tommy 20.
In Andromeda, I saw Nichian warriors holding painted and fully propped out SM3K's. Looked very shiny. It was in this one episode that involved a lake.
I was just watching the bonus dvd on Gears of War and I noticed they used At3K's and At4K's in the making of the game. They attached probes to them and then digitally turned them into Lancers and such. Can you imagine a Nerf Lancer!
The guys who created Gears of war shoot each other with nerf guns randomly during the work day. Guns seen were a BBB, AT3K, AT4K and a maverick.
In camp nowhere I remember seeing an Arrowstorm.
I am sure I have seen more, will edit later when I remember them.
Funny you mention Andromeda.
Some of the Nietzchian warriors, Genites, and other random aliens use a really pimped out Vortex Tornado. I never noticed the SM3K's... will have to look at them again!

Really? That is weird. For my Sawtooth mod, I had posted 10 photos in the first post. If I put 11, it would tell me I couldn't post it. So then I hit "Add Reply" and posted another post with 10 in it. Instead of making them two posts by me, it shrunk it down into 1 post with 20 photos in it. I couldn't edit it though because it had more than 10.
Really strange. Sorry 'bout that snide remark earlier in that case.
Oh yeah... Angel, I just noticed that you have a lot of scary stuff in your house! That clown is the embodiment of evil, I swear.

That is an incredible piece of work, angel.
I now understand the deeper meaning to this:
Hehehe. How many shots before you have to refill that 3000 psi tank? The blinking red lights in combination with the clear PETG and spacers create a beautiful effect.
I don't have an RF20, but how do they compare to Wildfires? Do you think a barrel replacement on a Wildfire would be as effective as on the RF20?
I would have never imagined your ultimate project would be so... ultimate!
By the way, why the hell did people keep posting shit inbetween the mod? If you guys didn't post your useless ".."s, the entire mod would have been compressed to one, continuous post.
EDIT: Ignore the last couple lines. My bad--sorry guys!

1/2" CPVC will not normally fit inside of 1/2" Sch. 40 PVC. It is barely too tight.
19/32" Brass will make a perfect fit inside of 1/2" Sch. 40 PVC. 9/16" or 17/32" will require a little E-tape.

Sure you can be busy with other things, but to not check/reply to PM's, E-mails?! That is truly ridiculous. I hope you all realize that if you're busy with shit, you go send out a notice to all your customers. I'm sure they would understand if you told them. To disappear and be busy with "other things" and refuse to communicate is utter bullshit and a formula for bad business.

As for price, 35 cents / foot doesn't seem an unreasonable price--whatever helps you recover that $5000 quickly.
For me, modding season is the summer. Being away from home for school also takes me away from my garage, tools, and guns.

I know that moses has been already corrected for posting in a thread that is extremely old and out of date, but I thought I'd touch on something else.
I hope I'm not stepping on Piney or One Man Clan's toes here, but as a modder, I'd like to express this one out.
Moses, you ask for an entire listing of what is needed in terms of materials and what needs to be done to complete this mod. What escapes me, is, you are in the correct place for both. The first post in this thread has everything you need, and Forsaken Angel even updates his mod with new steps to make things easier and better for you.
This is what is called a modification write-up. It allows others to duplicate this modification. It's sole purpose for existing is to help people, like yourself, build incredible nerf guns. If you took the time to actually read the entire thing, you would know that all the information you seek is already in there. Why the post about asking for everything handed to you in a nutshell? It's already there! Angel and myself spend a lot of time documenting modifications and writing these things up. The effort required to read the thing is a whole lot less than the effort spent in writing it.
I can tell that you haven't read the mod at all because your question isn't even specific. It's all there. If you get confused about a step, then I suggest you PM the mod creator (or others that have successfully duplicated the mod) for advice. Do not ask them for a write-up (a list of all that is needed and approximate amounts and steps to building it) because that is already right here.
Seriously man, that's the entire reason write-ups exist. Utilize that. Asking for things like you did is like asking us to package everything you need to know in a concise, clear manner.
Then of course, that is exactly what mod write-ups are.
