Gun name: The el snapo v.2
Ammo: micro darts
Range: Not measured yet but the range appear to be around 80-100ft.
Magazine capacity: 1 dart in barrel (so far)

The gun is pretty much like the "el snapo 1" but with a number of improvements, mostly reinforcements but the coupler have been changed and I changed the springs. The gun uses a clothespin trigger.

80% of the credit of this gun goes to CARBON for creating the original SNAP series.

This a overview of the gun cocked.


Here it is with a Quick Grip thing for size comparison.


Size comparison again.


Uncocked without barrel.


Close up on the important parts of the gun.


And yeah, Go and build some fucking guns people!

Any questions?

Unless you plan to use stefans soon, the barrel is far too long. Other then that, looking good.

[anders]

I use modified darts and/or stefans just so you know. Otherwise I must have been really fucking stupid making the barrel that long.


Picture so that SHA and others understand what I meant.

And by the way I saw a car that had SHA on it's license plate.

Freaking awesome, man. Nice work.

Is that a sponge between the barrel and the plunger chamber? Is it to soften the blow of the plunger, or perhaps to seal the barrel to the plunger chamber?

[keef]

I really like it! I like it alot!

The trigger seems really cool too.

What spring did you use for the plunger?

Nice job Anders

Oh. I saw the stock darts in the pictures; just wanted to make sure. I believe my only question for now is "what material is the priming handle made from"?

[anders]

To SHA: the priming handle is made of steelpipe. Which was a pretty bad choise of material since it makes the gun do an inverted recoil move when fired.

And the sponge is actually a piece of wood I used to make it easier to attach a barrel.
