Hello NerfHaven. Thank you administrators and jackster57 for validating my account! After a while lurking I would like to share my modified longshot, which includes a simple custom breech.







This breech is not complicated enough to deserve it's own thread, but I would like to share how it works. Basically the copper in the stock barrel prevents the dart from entering, so the dart is pushed forward into the PETG. Simple but effective, taking my range from around 50' to around 65'. I would like to thank OMC for the PETG.

Ranges: Really fucking far.

Sights work better than guessing, when the barrel is too low to aim down (I put a 4 shot RSCB on/in it)

My Triple shot.



She takes it from the rear.

Inspired by the movie "Avatar", and all of the cool shit in it, I painted my LS carbine accordingly.



Yep, that's dual SSPBs integrated. The LS has been modified to the standard of indoor nerfing, and can be loosely be defined as a "Longshot Carbine", Even though its not *completely* minimized.

Another painting contract.



Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want something painted cheap.

I've made the doubleshot useful. This will be returned to user Bookybabora to show him what happens when he leaves his blasters in Maine.

Ranges are 60'-70'

This used to be a cheap Xtream air rocket shooter.



Ammo Holders.



Disassembled, you can see the lines on the inside tube, used for guaging power.



Armed.



It is a pull back and release gun using a monster rubber band that I added. It has PETG barrels and vacum loads darts in the top.

Ranges average an astonishing 73'.

However, it is unacurate due to the way it is fired, so I decided to stuff 3 stefans down the barrel and see how that went.

Ranges average 38'

An effective shotgun, and devestating at close range.

(sorry it was a bit picture heavy)

Holds a total of 7 darts

Ranges around 55'

Fuck man, I'm running out of underwear, another good paintjob.

What part of PICS ONLY don't you understand? And don't quote the whole fucking post!

Anyway... Something productive:

AT2K with 5 shot inline clip and paint.

Here's my At2k and minimized scout.

Harry Potter pillows FTW.

My HAMP is better than yours.



This is why:



Fires 1-4 darts based on how fast/hard you push.

New WIP:



Has the same internals as my bolt action rifle, but has the ability to feed from Nerf brand magazines.





It feeds by sliding the barrel forward and back as you prime, like so:



Please feel free to PM me any questions.

Posted by Wes7143 on 17 September 2010 - 10:50 PM in Homemades

Schnap Bow.





It's got magnets to keep the handle forward.

Nearly finished on my bolt action. Just needs a trigger link from the front to back, so it can be fired like a normal rifle. Here's a video to explain.

Posted by Wes7143 on 13 March 2011 - 12:10 AM in Homemades

Here's another WIP photo of the bolt action. The blockyness still seen on a lot of the stock will go away as I slowly use primitive tools to grind it down.



A blaster is never really yours until you bleed on it.

I finished my core functional bit of my bolt action snap. Obviously, the overall blaster is very unfinished, and lacks a stock, grip, and other comfortable bits, but everything that makes the blaster fire darts is complete.



The snap is true bolt action, with a locking bolt coming out of the rear. Here it is in the locked/unprimed position.



Here it is again, with the bolt pulled back.



Notice there is no tension on the spring, even with the blaster cached.



Tension is added by pushing the bolt back in to the locked position. Notice the spring is slightly more compressed with the bolt halfway pushed in.



Here is a 1/4 scale drawing of what I hope the finished product to look like.



Here is a roughly drawn assembly of the internal parts.



Here is an older rough drawing, that may explain some of how the blaster works. Please ignore the estimated measurements, and mess.



And because a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is several pictures per second, here is a video showing the blaster's function.

Edit: Please feel free to PM me any questions about the blaster.

Posted by Wes7143 on 01 May 2011 - 07:25 PM in Homemades

Finished up on my bolt action. I might add some metal furniture and decoration here and there, but all of the functional features are in place.



Added an actual trigger.



Trigger link is about as simple as it gets.



I may or may not make a video on this one. I don't think there's anything new enough to have to explain via video, but if anyone has any lingering questions on how it works, feel free to PM me, and I'll explain, or post a video explaining.

With slingshots being too heavy, but single .177 bb's being too light for most high powered guns, I bought some 7/32 precision ball bearings from McMaster, just to test out. They're a bit on the expensive side as far as nerf ammunition goes, but they're still far cheaper than stock darts, and only a little more expensive than some of the places that sell #8 washers.

Sizes:
.177 = BB
.219 = 7/32
.250 = Steelshot
