#286522 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by hawkshot on 03 October 2010 - 08:12 PM in Modifications

Well, I thought I would never say this, but my Stormfinder needs an upgrade.
Posted Image
My new pistol.
Oh, you just think that this is just a normal 1st gen modded NiteFinder, right?
Complete with:
PT replaced-Spring replacement(industrial)-Seal improval-Super duper long screw so the plunger head will never fly off-
Catch spring with a higher constant than a K19(don't take my word on it though)-Minimization-Brass compartments in handle for dart storage-Draw extended

Well guess what; you're wrong. So, so wrong.
Posted Image
One side clear, one first gen. Sooo sexy, it looks extremely badass in person.
Ranges, you might say? They're enough, but definitely more than my old pistol. No padding on the plunger head? Why should I, when they never meet.



#271964 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by hawkshot on 11 April 2010 - 08:31 PM in Modifications

Finished contract for Rogue.

Meet: the new and improved RogueFinder.
Posted Image
Posted Image
Draw extension, INSANE padding(pic below), very strong catch spring to hold a beastly spring, ziptie keeps the top of the gun held together, bottom dremeled out in preparation for an integration.
Posted Image
I decided to keep the original spring that was in it before the draw extension, but due to the draw extension the spring would hit full compression, which severely weakens the spring. Therefore, the massive padding. It also serves as a cushion from impact and silences the blaster!

With a 5 inch CPVC barrel and single BB stefans(1/5''), it hits cardboard from 20 feet away very hard. My guess is roughly 70 feet.



#276307 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by hawkshot on 28 May 2010 - 10:25 PM in Modifications

What is the first of my summer modding, a preview for a contract for SoggyStefan(kinda, we share guns) and what I'll hopefully be using at the SPANO tuneup:
Posted Image
Lego Atlantis Harpoon Blaster. Elbow secured onto the airtank, dremeled out spot in shell, and a spiffy RSCB with a clear PVC clip and a CPVC barrel. No dart door, because I've been lazy and haven't gotten around to buying the materials. Shoots harder then your regular Big Blast. The new pivot trigger-bigger back tank designs are making these guns almost as powerful as Titans.



#262045 Official "show-off Your Crossbow" Thread

Name: The Blue Monster
Mods Done: Level 4?. Bolts behind spring rests, sheet metal in front of the spring rest, plunger rod reinforced. BnA spring. Plunger tube made by Split, and gives an almost perfect seal. Catch spring addition/replacement.
Integrations: N/A, but that's changing soon
Comments: Name is a spinoff of Ryan McNumber's green xbow, on page 2 of this thread. The pictures were taken by Merzlin after he finished painting it, but it still looks the same.

The ranges are horrible, and I have no clue what's wrong, so I'll be buying homemade internals from Draconis soon.



#263013 Guide To Barrel Material

Posted by hawkshot on 24 January 2010 - 07:30 PM in Modifications

I am re-barreling some guns with 17/32 brass.
1. How long should a longshot's barrel be?
2. How long should a recon's barrel be?
3. How long should a raider's barrel be?


1. Usually with a spring upgrade Longshots can handle a 12 inch barrel.
2. Recons are so weak that if you try to brass breech one it won't turn out well.
3. I believe Zorn's Lemma's brassed Raider contract had the barrel the same length as the original barrel. I would recommend checking with him first, though.



#271088 Xbox Live Recreational Community House ---

Posted by hawkshot on 02 April 2010 - 01:13 PM in Off Topic

Anyone pick up Bad Company 2 yet? It looks pretty awesome. Wanted to get some real people reactions to it.

I had the original which doesn't look much different than the sequel, and it was very fun. Way more team oriented than a game such as MW2.

Oh yeah, aside from that I'm a MW2 fanatic.

#262078 Longstrike Cs-6 Revealed

Posted by hawkshot on 16 January 2010 - 09:07 PM in General Nerf

The more that I think about it, I think that if the NIC decides to not buy anymore reverse plunger guns, Hasbro might start to lose money they could get from the NIC and people that are friends with people in the NIC and could switch to regular plungers. Even though it'll cost them more to make it, we'll start buying them.



#280385 Official Steam/pc Gaming Thread

Posted by hawkshot on 16 July 2010 - 11:53 AM in Off Topic

My friend got the $700 Asus laptop, and he's playing on Steam with it just fine. He also plays COD4 for the PC alot, and the graphics were great. Specs were like 4 gigs of RAM, 500 gigabite hard drive. Shouldn't be hard to find on the website.

I'm actually kind of jealous, considering I have a MacBook to run games off of.

I know someone who only plays balloon TF2. I tried playing, but I never got a hold of floating.



#281398 Official Steam/pc Gaming Thread

Posted by hawkshot on 27 July 2010 - 05:08 PM in Off Topic

So, I'm kinda on the line with Macbooks right now, and I'm willing to save up for a nice gaming desktop. Should be able to run Sony Vegas 9, Steam, and stuff like that just fine for the next couple years. Any suggestions? Busta?



#275220 Official Steam/pc Gaming Thread

Steam for mac! Woot!

I only have Portal right now...I believe you can find me by typing in Hawksh0t.

Posted by hawkshot on 29 July 2010 - 08:14 AM in Off Topic

Bump, can anyone provide a model name and brand for me to look at? I'm fairly good with troubleshooting but computer shopping for something other than a mac...well... I need help.



#274129 The Overkill: This Is What Happens When A Titan And A Longshot Have Ch

Posted by hawkshot on 05 May 2010 - 08:38 PM in Modifications

HOLY SHIT! I WANT THIS LONGSHOT! Will you make me one? Please? I'll pay you with my soul!


This gun is INCREDIBLE! Pumping the titan looks so easy, and that paintjob is AMAZING! I mean, it's so great I bet Direct Threat would be jealous!

I'm an extremely slim maybe. My percentage of being able to go will probably be getting higher over the summer though.

I am going to try to make it to next years, looks like lots of fun.



#265326 The Tornadobow

This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen since I started nerfing a year and a half ago.

I'm up for buying one, if you can find something to ship it in lol.

The oak to PVC ratio makes me giggle like a little girl inside. I want one.

Accidental double post.

I'm out. See all of you next time there's a Savannah/Atlanta war.



#280299 Septembwar

Posted by hawkshot on 15 July 2010 - 07:09 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm a likely maybe.[sarcasm] I need to shoot rork pointblank with something again [endsarcasm].

Edit: if Zax still has only an NF by this time I have some stuff he can use.
Edit2: When you say #8 washers only, what about #6 washers?



#287121 The Clothespin Trigger Mk2

Posted by hawkshot on 18 October 2010 - 05:55 AM in Homemades

the ColdSNAP.

ColdSNAP, huh?

Aside from me making myself look like a major nerd, I wanted to briefly give a hell of a lot of kudos. The only problem I can see along the road for the design is the half-pipe connected to the screw. Possibly(and I also do not know much about the clothespin trigger) could you use a full circle connected to the screw, and create a more noticeable indent into the cpvc, or only cut one 180 degree(looking down at the plunger rod) cut?



#282032 Alpha Trooper Jamming Problem

Posted by hawkshot on 03 August 2010 - 10:02 PM in General Nerf

This happens with my raider and deploy when I try to fire very fast. The gun is not catching, and the spring pushes the bolt sled forward into a lock. I took the lock out in my deploy because it was freaking me out that when I would not prime the gun I was slamming the bolt sled with force into this lock.



#275497 Cpvc Doomsayer

Great mod and paintjob. Kudos.

Where can styrene(sp) be purchased, and if it is unavailable is there any alternative for the application?

I'm curious to see who has the copyright to the SDL.

How did you construct the shell?



#272103 My 2010 Hiatus

Posted by hawkshot on 13 April 2010 - 04:05 PM in Off Topic

That's pretty scary man. Over the summer I had a health scare, where I literally thought I wasn't going to live. It was originally thought to be an unseen case of mono after seeing the doctor, but it turned out to be strep throat (and I have asthma), so I as well was on your schedule for 2 and a half weeks. It sucked, and I can't imagine what you're going through.

Hope your recovery goes smoothly, and hope to see you back in full force; maybe at some wars in Florida?



#267017 My Ls Brass Breech Version

I believe Coop has made several 17/32 angel breeches.


Nice breech. Very clean. I like the pen cap idea.

I promise to barrel tap this time Rork.
