Hi folks, It's hippo here, and I'm gonna kick my membership off with some mods:
Here's my current primary, at this stage it was minimized, pullback, had a NF spring addition, and a PVC barrel chambered for mega's, it is now minimized further and sports a PVC coupler.
This is an older picture of my SupaSplat, which now features a paintjob, and sports a CPVC barrel. Since this image has been taken, it's range has degraded, but it served me well at BAFF 4 and 5.
This is my PPK'd diskshot, it now features a stubby CPVC barrel as opposed to the stock SupaSplat barrel it has in the image, it's pretty inaccurate, and has a NF spring added as well.
This has been passed on to my guest, who has used it at BAFF 4 and 5, it's crayola'd and sports a crude acrylic paintjob.

I'm actually kinda excited about this blaster, since it strays away from the assault rifle look of most N-strike blasters and actually looks designed from the ground up.

Excellent work rogue, I think the deploy might see more use than it's reverse plunger tube brothers, it's more compact, and seems much more user friendly, how would you rate the blaster for comfort and durability?

Great work, at first site I thought you had simply slapped two recons together, but everything came out so nicely, and the raider is fantastic as well.

I'd use a magstrike with a pistol on the bottom, you'd scare most zeds off, but when you've spent your clip, you can rely on a maverick or another pistol.

#278250 Splitfire/2k Turret Modification!

Both methods have their advantages. The splitlantern when loaded, gives the opportunity to reload with a few pumps and a turn of a turret. The splitech has a higher ammo load, but is at a disadvantage in other aspects such as reload, I like the splitlantern more, but the splitech is still handy.

It's so clean, and considering that you can reload it with the turn of a turret, it must be an excellent blaster!

You could try carefully applying DIY latex/liquid latex to the tank, being careful not to get any on the pin or valve, but it should effectively seal most leaks around the body of the tank.

Doom - Thanks for the link to that site. It looks like they have a lot of different sizes of latex tubing. I think my Powerclip bladders are in pretty good shape now, but at least I know that I can buy tubing to replace them.
Hippopotamus - Are you talking about the kind of liquid latex that is used for the grips on tools, such as the handles of pliers?
Liquid latex as in the kind that one would use to make molds, and can be bought as a powder.

Nice, I've seen people make say 5 other shells, but your setup could make a shotgunned blaster a very worthwhile primary, one question though: Have you thought of sandwiching the gaps in craft foam?

Well, you ought to go easy on your catch, so I recommend adding a raider spring, or perhaps an NF/eliminator combo, and recon springs are similar to raider springs. In general, less stress on the catch will make it more reliable, and will give more longevity to a stock boltsled.
