I like elec springers more because in general they have more comfortable shells, better range, and a controllable ROF. Flywheels are good for spraying darts down the feild though.
Elec Springers: Lower ROF, more power, generally more comfortable shells, and more accurate.
Flywheels: faster ROF, sometimes less power, Less accurate.

Man is that a beauty. Dang.
Anyway, would the design accept other materials for the handle? Like wood, clear polycarb, or even maybe *ooh shiny* aluminium?
Also, would you recommend using that Y you are currently as a pumpgrip for other homemades?

So can we have some pictures of a prototype/finished product, or have you not made a working physical design yet?
Also, could a stock be attached from the bottom and top of the handle?

well you probably dont NEED one, its just going to be alot easier. I can make alot of things that are usually 3d printed out of wood with enough time. Like i made a wooden tac rail because someone challenged me to. It isnt as hard as you may think.I wish you didn't have to have a 3d printer for pretty much all the homemades I would like to make. :/

So i was wondering if anyone knows any good barreling material for mega darts? I have taken it upon myself to make a version of captian slug's clip fed homemade that can run megas. Help woth a loose barrel material and maybe a tight feed-able one too?
Pvc, cpvc, and brass are all i can get right now.

well i'd think a package from oregon to maine would be pricy, the darts may fit differently, and also, im young, so i have to ask before each purchase of anything.MEGA darts are 3/4" (19mm) OD, and most 3/4" CPVC I have tried has an ID of about 18mm. 3/4" SCH80 PVC will often time have an okay-ish loose fit. The malformed PVC I used for rocket barrels actually fits MEGAs very well. If you want one, I'd sell it to you. Additionally, I have found aluminum tubing at True Value Hardware which fit well, but it was expensive.

So, i was in writing class drawing ideas up from the dephs of my brain when i thought "what if i took a raider mag well and slapped a breach on it?" And then it began. I was thinking a simple breach with magic pvc, but with a wider opening to accept the mag, and also some nerf breach shaped pvc as the barrel material to make the darts feed correctly. Prototype coming soon-ish. Any advice is appreciated!

nah im good.Nah, a barrel tube less than a foot long would be a few dollars to ship via first class mail. And stock Hasbro darts are pretty much universal fit.
So i will try that stuff that duke suggested, and if that doesnt work, then ill try to drill and sand out some 3/4in pvc to fit it.

I would reccomend looking at the MTB (Make Test Battle) line of nerf motors. The Rhinos are 130 motors (No holes in the side of the shell) and Honeybadgers are 180 motors (You need to cut a hole in the side of the shell for them to fit.)
For less work and a play around blaster, i reccomend the Rhinos. Also, they come from Australia if im not mistaken, so you may have to pay a chunk of money for shipping. (I dont know the price, i got mine from a friend)
Hope this helps!
Also, your title says welcom, not welcome.

I know this is now a pretty dead topic, but recently i came into ownership of a kenner crossbow and some resin casting books. I was wondering if anyone here knows a cost effective silicone mold making material? I watch peter brown, who does castings alot, but i cant find any silicone that is cheap enough to use while keeping a detailed large cast.

I don't think any kind of resin casting is a cheap process. It's got a lower entry threshold than an injection mold, but you're still talking $hundreds. Dig through herefor some good tips as well.
Right now I'm just looking for silicone to make the mold. Then comes the resin/epoxy.

Its slightly different, but have you concidered stronger methods for creating nerf pieces? Like CNC or casting? They generally can be less versatile, but they can be alot stronger.

In expansion to blue's reply:
Due to the increased spring load it is reccomend to prime using both sides of the handle because priming on one side acts like a shear and can lead to breaking the priming mech. To avoid the issue, you could use a lower spring load.
On the other hand, you could also install a pump grip to distribute the priming force.

Hello.
So i will get right to the problem i currently have with my supermaxx 500. The tank is fine as far as i know, but the pump is furiously shattered on the inside. I do not want to try to salvage the tank and pump because i am not experienced in how to fix it yet, so that's going into the parts bin.
What i currently need help with is trying to find a new air tank that could fit into the blaster. Preferably a air tank that is connected to the pump, but if you have proof of some other tank configuration that could work, then that would be helpful.
Here is the thing about the SM500. There is NO spare room where the pump and tank sits. No wiggle room, no space for anything that i currently have. List of tanks that i have verified don't fit:
AT3k
AT2k
Anything bigger than an AT2K tank will NOT fit without shell modification, which i want to keep to a minimum.
I have measurements of the tank and pump and barrel in the form of pictures (sorry for low picture quality, only got an ipad to take pictures currently). *Measured in inches*
So far i have asked bobololo for help on this in october which led to me buying a AT2K pump off ebay, which as i previously stated didn't fit.
My thoughts are that maybe a panther tank (if minimized) could maybe work, but i cant find measurements of panther internals. Maybe that pocket shot or whatever it was called from N-Strike could work, but that thing is not nearly powerful enough for me.
Thank you in advance,
Silly.

Well im waiting for ice to tell me if this pump would work for his solution to my problem, and if it doesn't then i may look into the tetra strike tank.You could try cutting the pump off and replacing it. Or, get a tetra strike tank. That may work.
And Ice, the firing stick that is pulled to fire was rusted and broken beyond repair above where i had to cut it. I made sure that it still reaches the trigger, so it will still function if the pump is replaced and the stock tank used.
Finally, as far as i understand i cut on the black line and cram the 2k pump in? Or is it the blue line where i cut?

I have attached tubing to the tank, and now i am working on how to attach the tubing to the pump, since it is broken at the tubing attachment point, with no nipple to put the tube onto. I think i can make it work somehow, but i may just need to get a new 2k pump (or other pump, i think a 3k pump may work)You really should attach some Vinyl tubing to the 2k pump then attach that to the tank, since it will be easier to get leak-free than a hard plastic to plastic bond. Also if something breaks or leaks then it's a lot easier to just add some new vinyl tubing than cut and re-bond two pieces of plastic.

So I decided to mod the Mega Magnus to make it look like the mandalorian pistol from starwars the clone wars series.I can't seem to paste a picture so your going to have to look it up. I'm looking to make the sides as flat as possible as the lower side's on the Mega Magnus are quite bumpy and full of ridges. Since sanding it would take of all of the exterior plastic, what ways would you guys recommend to fill the gaps?
Epoxy putty or Bondo are what is usually used for smooth/seamless nerf body work. But if your cheap, use hot glue to fill in the space then make panels out of plastic and smack them on, then sand to desired shape. Personally I would use epoxy putty.
