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.
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.
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.
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!
