That is acryllic with an ID of CPVC's OD (5/8),
The epoxy putty is so the 'bridge' doesn't crack.

For streamlines, use CPVC. Consider this: you need 12ft. of barrel material to make a Doomsayer. Brass is not cheap.
If you have a drill, ream out the back 2.5in. of each barrel.
Popatachi (sp?) made a CPVC Doomsayer. Search for it.

Although if you want to vote, you have to pick at least one from each grouping.
Question: since there are 27 options up there, could we have 9 per grouping with a 'None of the above option' in each one if we don't have a preference in that group? Or is that too overly complicated?

I just about guarantee it.Also, can the front barrel come off? It looks like it might be detachable on the box...
The Recon, Longstrike, and Longshot all were packaged with the barrel off. It would take up wayyyy too much space if this thing was packaged 'complete'.
It should be fairly straight forward to convert this thing to micros. Hell, someone with a plastic printer could probably make conversion kits, as the Mega (Mongo?) Clip has a larger footprint then a micro clip.

Megas (and Mongos, to a lesser extent) can get comparative ranges, you just have to give them a bit of the ol' ultraviolence, droog.
A shift to homemade airguns is unlikely; ROF is too low.

I'm not sure which it is, but Sg and Oz Nerf sites both seem free of BBs, ball bearings, washers, etc. in their darts.
I suspect pain is a factor of surface area, so having a larger striking surface (i.e. slugs) will lower pain more than a spongier material. Perhaps we can just make a cylindrical 'head' that has no tapering at all, and see if that helps with the pain.

Example of them being used: SGN R-Series Blaster - PAR55M Demo
Airsoft and similar toys are banned in Singapore and Australia. The less airsoft-y they can make darts, the better. Thus, no metal.
Moving the eraser bit back would provide more padding on the front; however, that would move the center of gravity back which would make the dart less accurate (I think).

To add to Zorn's comment, I attempted to make my +bow work with surgical (slingshot) tubing, and my 3/8 Nylon square rod bent at the notch. Of course, it is entirely plausible I just fucked up when cutting the notch in the first place. I probably made the cut too deep.

Does the power increase make up for the added deadspace?
I tend to think so--an average of 65' flat from some fairly mild mods is pretty encouraging. I have more coming----which should really show how much the added deadspace affects the ranges------if at all. Many modders found that doing the "Straw" mod didnt help the Recons Range at all----so we will see.
I recall there was a thread a while back where I asked about dead space, and the conclusion we drew was that airflow is more important. This is why the straw mod does not increase ranges by much, if at all.

Clearly he intends to bring sexy back.
More on topic, one thing I would suggest for your plunger rod is Langley's Suicide Trigger. It is similar to what you have here, except it can rotate and you don't have to carve wood.
This thing looks great, but where did you find avocado green thinwall?
Edit: Langley's Suicide Trigger was based on Carbon's Clothespin Trigger.

Ozymandias -- I'll try and get a video up later today. I got the valve at Lowe's in the section with the ball valves (bottom shelf), in the same aisle as the rest of the fittings. Smaller hardware stores generally don't have them, I think because they are primarily a "contractor item." But I have seen them at Homie D's and larger Ace Hardware stores. McMaster has them as 46835K52, though beware of shipping costs.
Ah, thanks fir the info.
I guess you'll just need to keep adjusting and testing it until you get the right amount of valve opening to get the semi-auto function, the opening needs to be quite small to get the effect.
A suggestion: take the piece of SCH 40 PVC between the check valve and the ball valve, stick some 1/4in. tubing in there, and goop the space around it. That should do the trick, I think.
You might want to use a longer piece of pipe though, otherwise the smaller diameter would mean less volume per shot.

Of course, you would also have to have a blaster that is firing two balls at once. (For example, bolo-balls wouldn't really work in a reactor, as it would likely turn the first shot into what would amount to a pop-gun, and the second shot would be drastically reduced in range and/or thrown of course by the now-dangling first shot.)
Solution: use 2 Reactors. It would look ridiculous, but that's kinda the point with this.
Come to think of it, use this mod, but keep the ball shooting attachments.

I have to post the last year, our people here use my ARB (rifling) for a long time, it can improve the light-weight dart, I have a launch weight of only 1g of the dart can fly 25 meters, and will not fishtail
While you are here, I do have 2 questions about your darts, as discussed in this thread.
1. How accurate are these darts compared to normal stefans/darts?
2. How durable are these? In other words, has the tape ever come off during a war?

1. stefans high accuracy, very far, the only drawback is unsafe, will hurt,
JSPB Mega is safe,quick and easy made, the disadvantage is low accuracy, because the weight is close to the center,
using the ARB can improve accuracy beyond stefans.
2. two kinds of E-tape ,One for thick, one for the thin,thick is good! good Weight,and not degummed.
I have tried dymo tap, you can type some words, cool, weight is enough, but a week on the stripped.
ps: made into bowling pins shape, that can fly farther, better loading.
Got it, Thanks!

Here is the deal with the nuclear plant:
Basically, the lack of backup electricity from outside the plant shut down the pumping system.
This means that they couldn't pump water through the reactor to cool it.
What they've now done is allowed sea water to flood into it in a last ditch effort to cool the reactor.
If the reactor melts down, it will melt through its concrete containment and through the earth down to the water table.
When it hits the water table, that water instantly turns into steam, and will cause a massive explosion, throwing fallout everywhere.
Even if the sea water does work, it will corrode the pipes. This means they'll have to build a containment dome ala Chernobyl at the very least.

General Nerf
Actually, if I remember right, our blasters are way more powerful than most airsoft guns, but our ammo is less efficient.
Depends on what metric you use.
I believe a nitefinder converted to shoot pellets is not allowed in airsoft because the muzzle velocity exceeds the limit for most fields.
Of course, that's neither here nor there, since comparing Nerf to airsoft is like comparing star wars to star trek while at a strip club: a poor use of time.
If the power of a 4B is really a make-or-break issue, an organizer could just mandate that they have a McMaster OPRV.
Edit: I think suction darts have a bit better fit then taggers in pvc, but I could be mistaken. Depends on the batch.
