This was just a small experimental project that I decided to do a few months ago because I wanted a shotgun big blast, but I wanted to be able to use a regular barrel also.

The material you will need are,

- hacksaw and mitre box
- 1 1/2' feet PETG cut into six 3" sections
- e-tape
- 1/2" pvc
- buttloads of hot glue
- plumbers goop
- the top part of a mav turret
- a 1 1/2" to 1/2" reducing bushing and a big pvc fitting that one side is threaded and the other side fits the
reducing bushing loosely (If anyone can help with the name, that'd be great)

First, we are going to work on the barrels.

This first step I do not have pics for, so I will try to explain it. Take the top part of your maverick turret and
place it on the top part of the big pvc thing. (the threaded side) Take one of your 3" lengths of pvc and put it in one of the turret holes. half of it should be sticking out the top, and half should be sitting on the bottom lip inside the pvc thing. make sure your PETG is straight and mark with a sharpie where you can first see the PETG coming out of the turret. Measure from the bottom part of the PETG to the mark and write it down.

Next, take your marked piece of PETG and wrap a few layers of e-tape just under the mark. It should have a semi-snug fit in the turret. take your remaining pieces of petg and measure out what you wrote down before, and do the same thing until you have done it to all six.

Here they are in the turret.

Take a segment of 1/2" pvc that is just as long as the part of PETG that sticks out the bottom put a little foam inside, and hot glue the foam in. while the glue is still hot, stick it on the little nub on the under side of the turret. This pic already has the barrels in it.
Posted Image

Now, once your pvc piece is on, you need to goop the barrels in. These NEED to be air tight, so it is critical that you use goop. Goop aorund where the tape is. Same pic.

Next you need to take your finished turret assembly and goop it into the top of the big pvc thing, leaving no space where it is not gooped. (Use excess amounts of goop, the you can even it out with your finger.)
leave it to dry 24-48 hours, but don't let your barrels move around while they are drying.

Once that is dry, bust out your hot glue gun. you will need tons of glue sticks for this. you need to put glue in all the empty space around the barrels. I know, I know, it's sexy.
Posted Image

Now take your reducing bushing over to the mitre box, and cut off half of the back end. This is essential in letting the air from your gun flow to the barrels. Once you have cut it in half, but loads of goop around the sides, and then slide it in the back of big assembly.
Posted Image

Now all you need to do is glue a stub of 1/2" pvc into the back of the shotgun turret and let the whole thing dry.

Pics of the finished product.

On the gun it was made for.

On a SNAP.

The darts don't go very far on the snap, but the turret looks more natural on it.

I am pleased with the result of this turret. It took little effort and time, and is fun to use. It can be used with any gun that can output large amounts of air, such as titans, blast bazookas, national geo guns, possibly even the plus bow. I apoligize for the lack of picks in some parts, but it didn't strike me to take pics of certain things until after they were glued and stuff. Oh well, enjoy!

Good job. Even on the big blast it looks good. One question though: What are the ranges?

Nice, and by the looks of it it's a slip coupler (?). I would also be interested in ranges, especially on the Big Blast.

Good job. The turret itself looks real nice.
For future picture taking, use the macro feature on your camera, it will focus much better close up.

I love that all the mods from the Titan are being transfered to the BBBB/ LBB. In my humble opinion, the LBB/ BBBB is better than the Titan anyway.

I range tested today.

Big blast - The shortest dart landed 25 feet, the longest landed 39 1/2 feet.
SNAP - All the darts went about 12 feet or less. :P

It's not like that. I put lube on it and its the same. Its just stuck. And when I cock it back it goes farther back then usual. Also I push as hard as I can and it wont go back in. I've tried the methods and they wont work. Also pics are up.

What they hell does Guy Fawkes have to do with a shotgun? Maybe if today was November 5th, but it isn't.



I think this is pretty cool. A 15ft difference in max and min dart is a bit peculiar, though. What about were the ranges of the other darts? If 1 fell really short and the others all got close to 40, that's nice. If they are all over the place, the shotgun becomes kind of useless. You are only getting 1-2 darts to the target, and the rest fall short.

Also, it looks like all of the barrels aren;t seated perfectly straight. looking and the image of the back of the cut down mav cylinder inside the PVC, it looks like an angled barrel could act like an AR, and kill the range of the barrel. But I don't know. It could just be the way I am seeing it.

He hasn't been banned yet because he hasn't done anything *exceptionally* retarded yet. It's also because VACC has been quite busy, and my tolerance for stupidity is a bit higher than his. Also, his posts aren't in blatant violation of the CoC, for the most part. Rest assured, if he pulls anything that is deemed exceptionally stupid under my standards, he's gone. He hasn't quite reached that yet, although this one gets pretty close.

Eddieoctane is right; that sort of spread might be caused by a leak. Alternatively, if one dart leaves the barrel first, the rest won't go as far, if at all. That's the problem with having one air source firing multiple barrels; if the darts don't leave at the same time, there will be a considerable difference in power.

I think this mod is really cool. You can still put single barrels in there because it is a coupler, right? I'm not sure about that 15 ft. difference. And pulletman was banned at HQ like two months ago.

Yes, you can still put a single barrel in there

About the 15 foot difference, I cannot tell you why that is. I range tested this once, and I'm just tellin' you how it was, that was the ranges I got. I can go and range test again sometime this week if you guys want.

Guy Fawkes is the organizer of the failed gunpowder plot to blow up parliament in england, and so, has been called the original Effeminate fail guy, therefore with the piss-poor ranges and the fact that darts hardly spread when shotgunned like that it is an Effeminate FAIL.

So you combined an internet meme with a historical event?

Normally, I would applaud the connection,

but:

a)you posted a picture, rather than the name, making the reference even more obscure
b)you've completely misinterpreted the motivations behind the "gunpowder plot"
c)his larger goal was met, so in spite of the failure of Parliament to explode and his eventual hanging, he did not "fail."
d)there is absolutely no connection between range issues and the increased political power of Catholics during a time when Protestants controlled the British government.

Good idea, poor execution.
