Ok, I want to make a semi auto titan. I'll put a big bladder on the bottum were the hornet used to be(check valve removed). The bladdeer is opened by a botton, and is attached so that the hornet fire botton opens the tank. Put a R.s.c.l. barrel on and walla! Pull the hornet trigger, stop, pull the titan trigger, stop a semi semi-auto thing. Amazing!

[NinjZ]

I dont know about your friends, but we would never allow that in any of our wars.

[Vintage]

It won't get many shots at all. The titan airtank is so big, that most of the air in the bladder would be wasted in the first shot. Unless you have a massive bladder assembly, it would be a waste.

[nerfspecialforces]

You don't need many with the titan Just a few backup shots like the eat shit rifle in halo, it has four shots, and I only need one sometimes two.

[AirApache]

Newsflash: Nerf ain't halo. You aren't gonna consistently peg someone with deadly accuracy from over 70 feet away to the point where they can't dodge it. Great idea, but unappropriate for nerfing.

[mayhem]

I think it's a cool idea.

If it works for you, then that's just fine with me.

[Ender]

Why are you guys ripping into him I think it is a brilliant idea, good luck with it and keep us posted on your progress. And on a side note I would more then welcome that gun at any nerf war I host.
not sure why it went twice, sorry

[seirus]

I suppose that as impractical as it may be, it'd still be a pretty cool piece to just peg stuff with. Besides, it's the sentimental value that counts. Good luck with it.

[NinjZ]

Its not a very good idea, but I wouldnt expect a new member to understand. The titan has the potential of reaching 200'. Now add in better rate of fire and your looking at soemthing that defeats the purpose of NERF. Im not even going to get into the damage a weighted dart being shot at someone from under 100' with the titan would do to the human body. If you want ranges of over 100' your playing the wrong sport.

Note: We arent ripping on him or flaming, we are giving honest and truthfull opinions.

"If you want ranges of over 100' your playing the wrong sport."
What are you talking about? There have been guns that broke 100' for quite a while.

"Im not even going to get into the damage a weighted dart being shot at someone from under 100' with the titan would do to the human body."
I think the human body is a lot tougher than you give it credit for. At least for most of us. Mabe you need more vitamins.



I dont understand why some people have such a problem with the titan. Yes, it should be reserved for loser duty, but it isnt going to kill someone. I just didnt plug the pressure release on mine, so it will only do 16 pumps, and its not going to break the skin. Trust me, my roommate shot me from 3 ft. It's not much worse than a paintball, and I didnt even have any clothing to soften the blow (he caught me while I was changing shirts, and hit me under the arm too. grrr).

Like I said, I agree that it should not be used up close, but why would you want to anyways when you have the hornet? Increasing the ROF by a bit on the titan isnt going to kill the sport. With a bladder as big as this requires you wont want to waste your air for close ranges when there are guns with much better ROF that can easily fill the 0'-80' role that wont require 50 pumps.

NFS, I think its a cool idea. I like the way you plan on using the already existing mechanisms on the Titan. Pretty clever. Be sure to ignore these punks and let us know how it turns out. Even if NinjZ is too scared to let you shoot at him with it, at least its a fun idea to play around with.

why not have two modes of fire, a short and a long range? all you need are two secondary bladders and a two-way valve. The secondaries will fill off your primary and you can select which secondary to fill. Doing this, you also regulate the amount of air discharged, so you'll get more shots using the short-ranges secondary bladder. In fact, you could make a regulated semi-auto if you could make an automatic-refill valve...

This came up, not to long ago, people are still working on finallizing it. I'm not even going to bother "debating" the "losers" thing again. And, the Titan is dangerous. Just telling you. I think I could probably remove your eyesight, knock you out. Maybe give you a nice, dart shaped scar. Knock some 5 year old out, not hard with that missile.

Fuse, Im well aware of the ranges blasters get. NERF isnt about 100'+ ranges like paintball or airsoft is. Most guns that do have a high range that are almost never fired at that max range. Ill admit, when my friends and I started, we played with single shot long range guns. After a while and trying lower range higher ROF blasters we found it ALOT more fun and chalenging.

How was your Titan modded? With the right mods a dart definatley could break skin even from 50'. Mabey if your multi-shot titan only got 90' I wouldnt mind, but I was assuming he meant a few shots for its max range it could get ( 100+ mabey even 150 ).

Sorry if I sound like a dick, but I am a strong beleaver that NERF isnt a sport about long ranges. Shorter ranges, dodging and weaving, and being able to do things you couldnt normally do in paintball and airsoft.

[THIRST]

It would get less ranges then a semi-auto 2k because the same size bladder has much more room to diffuse in. I would hardly call it a loser.

[Fuse]

"I think I could probably remove your eyesight[...]"
Do you not require eye protection? Thats been standard at most wars for a long time. Doubt it would knock you out though. Headshots arent legal in our wars anyways. If you can't hit the torso instead of head with something as accurate as the Titan you dont have any business weilding it.
And why would you be shooting a five year old?

All I did with my titan was take out the air supressors, remove those annoying balls, and add a PETG barrel. I don't have exact ranges because it overshot my usual parking lot I use, which is at least 130' or 140'. Plugging the release valve is not necessary at all for this gun if you plan to use it in a war.

I am not going to dispute that the Titan has the potential to injure, but it doesnt come that way, you have to make it that powerful. The Titan is not inherently evil, man makes it so. Do not hate the beast for the sins of its creator.

In this mod he is controlling how much air is being put into the main chamber, so I just assumed he would keep the pressure safe. Maybe he could be a crazy boy who wants to put a dart through a cat, but I give him the benefit of the doubt.

[THIRST]

A Titan in itself is dangerous, and it will go through safety glasses easily. Making one semi auto wont work anyways...

THIRST

[ompa]

He's right, this thing is evil, and has the potential to shatter cheap sunglasses.

~ompa

[Fuse]

Hmm, no doubt it would blast through cheap glasses, the only thing those are good for is keeping little bits of debris out of your eyes, but my safety glasses took a hit at 10' fine. What kind of Stephans do you guys usually use? Im going with 2.5" with 2 BB sinkers.

[nerfspecialforces]

Hey, people flaming me The big point that I forgot to metion was that the bladder could be weak, thus reducing the range, and since bladders give almost the same pressure, perfect regulation (For those of you who don't get it, a highly accurate gun that if safe)

[NinjZ]

Again, we werent flaming. Atleast I know me and Thirst werent.

[THIRST]

On a Titan, thats awful regulation. The tank is so big that the bladdr would probobally have to empty once or twice to fill it, and only to egt sub par ranges. And any guns using a bladder tend to not be very accurate, because the air comes out slowly. No one is flaming you dude. Its just an idea that we know for sure wont work.

THIRST

[nerfspecialforces]

The air would have the same flow as a reg. titan, but the tank could fill up slower.

[Crankymonky]

Have you read the Semi-auto 2k thread? Merely attaching the bladder will make all the air from the bladder and Titan come out at once. The dart will be gone long before, and the air wasted. Your finger isn't fast enough to regulate something that diffuses at incredible rates. In the original 2k semi 2k, a liguitron piece, that is thin, regulated air, eventually it got down to a pin size whole. (Not including valves in these statements). There would be equal pressure, but does that help you if it all comes out at once?

Edited by crankymonky, 22 September 2004 - 07:58 PM.

[THIRST]

He is trying to regulate it to not use the bladder directly, but push a bottun to open the airflow to the titan, relase and the airflow has stopped. Now the Titan tank is full. how much pressure? Not enough, not nearly enough because the big tank. How many more shot do we have? maybe 1-2 if we are lucky becauseof the large tank.
