Im sort of new to the nerf society and Im starting to make my own homemades. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to make a good homemade pistol.

Thanks

god dammit!!!
n00b infestation...
try using the search button at the top of the page...
people [inc. me] have investigated designs in the past... but all were to complicated... if you want a pistol... buy one.. homemades are usless and for th cost its much better to know it works and that itll work for some time...

WHY DID YOU MAKE 4 THREADS ON YOUR FIRST DAY HERE?

Don't do that shit, and don't ask dumb questions like you did. 4 threads is your limit for the month, not the day... oh my god, you stupid child. If you need to ask that many questions, keep it in one thread, don't clog up the boards with your non-sense

Going fucking insane because of these kids...

Wow, you really know how to spell. I applaud your poor use of grammar, and adjectives.

You are not being forced to read his posts Sylent_Blade, you have a thing with flaming newbies? At least taita cakes took the time to try to answer his question. And who really cares about spelling and grammar, as long as you can read their topic, my gosh.

superintendent, when you make homemades, most people use a cominbation of these ingredients: PVC, ball valve, one way valve, and a pump. The basic principal is this: The pump, pumps air through the one way valve on the end of a length of PVC. On the other end of the PVC, a ball valve is attached. When you turn the ball valve, pressurized air escapes, propelling a dart.

For more info, just go search on the net man.

1.) well they have to learn some day, i think on subsribing all newbies [different to n00bs] should be FORCED to read the newbie info, not as an option

2.) dont praise me, its only been one week plus since i revived old topics and killed a post

and the main point of a pistol is to cram all of this into the smallest possible gun body/shell .... and in failure, people tend to lean towards spring propulsion....

Sylent Blade shut the fuck up. You have been here for a little over a month and you have more posts then some of the regulars combined.

You don't know shit about shit and pull up your pants!

[Sylent Blade]

All I can say is that you are entitled to your opinion, and I can't take that away from you. Unlike some people here, I am mature. I must be more intelligent than you, if you can't see what I'm trying to say to this kid. Secondly, post count doesn't matter, all you need to do is contribute. Although some of my posts weren't contributing very much, most of them were, so to you I say "Shut the fuck up." Not knowing shit about shit is pretty lame and juvenile, now isn't it? I'm sorry, but I don't have time for your arrogant comments, time better spent talking to civilized and more intelligent people.

SB is out.

[One Man Clan]

Wow, if this kid only knew.......

Someone here wanna back me up?

[andrew01]

unfortunately no one followed my main topic becasue all of you were bitching about newbs. Thank you so very much silent blade, you contributed so much to this topic. I am overjoyed.

[NerfManiac]

Sylent Blade, you really need some prozac or some chocolate. And don't hurt yourself using too many big words.

[cxwq]

There is nothing lamer than noobs bitching about noobs.

Sylent Blade, kindly refrain from whining until you've been here long enough to hear every question asked a dozen times. Post count does matter when it grows out of proportion to your perceived value to the site. An awful lot of your posts are attempts to silence people - why don't you leave that shit to me and Vacc. We're really good at it.

[xedice]

Sorry you got the wrong message about the type of people on this forum superintendent, anyway, I see that you have made a homemade on another topic, congrats

[taita cakes]

isnt it amazing that a simple direct message on xedice's part telling everyone to get back on topic can blow everything so out of proportion...

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC
as i said before no-one has had a simple design for a pistol so far, although zero has talked about his shell/valve design, and henceforth lost me somewhere along the introduction, the idea of a nerf pistol is only feesable [sp] in the use of a spring powered propulsion method instead of a ball valve design, which is found to be impossible to cram into a pistol shell/body....

[Zero Talent]

That's because my homemade pistol design was supposed to be semi-automatic, with imitation blow-back, as well as an air-actuated fast-change airtank system.

But it was also stupid and based on faulty materials, so let's just forget about it, shall we? (New one's on the way... With Cadmond's brass in the mail)

So, gimme a second to throw up a rather small, single-shot design (pistols have little room for large secondary air tanks) for our friend here...

I forgot to mention "ugly" too. But hey, it's a start. Sorry it's not so simple... Just a few drilled holes, string trigger system (springbox designs are annoying), and easy-to-find parts... Aside from that 7/16"OD rod. That can be annoying. But you have three different materials for it, so it shouldn't be too hard. Also, that barrel is glued in there.. Otherwise, the front O-ring flies out and otherwise sucks.

If you don't understand the mass of O-rings, see the Basic Valve tutorial on this site. It's pretty much that, just without all the vinyl tubing spacers, using just the naturally 5/8"OD 1/2" CPVC to hold the O-rings inside the adapter and endcap.

If you want a more complex design... Well, wait. Exams on the horizon...
