Okay guys I've heard many people say that the automatic tommy twenty is better than the origanal. If so please tell me the cons and ups of this gun. Also please tell me the improvements from the tommy twenty to the automatic tommy twenty. C: Please reply.

Pros:
Automatic (BENEFIT OVER ORIGINAL (It was semi auto))
Has 20 darts
Doesn't jam (BENEFIT OVER ORIGINAL (It caught in the cage and jammed inside the gun)
Is not as badly colored as the original (BENEFIT OVER ORIGINAL (Doesn't look like a piss bottle))
Runs on batteries (Easy to put a 9 volt instead of the 1.5 volt AA's)

Cons:
Loud
Darts can fall out of the drum
You need to use stock darts (don't put money on this)
Max range is around 40-50 if you mod it REAL well.
Runs on batteries (Runs out)
Costs $20.00 for a gun you can never use in an outside war.

Bottom line:
There are better gun's for cheaper.

I actually just picked mine up today and its fun to mess with. Defintely going to give it my signature Zebra paintjob, or my black fog scheme.
In my color blind eyes its the same color as poop.
For inside it's great, ROF is o.k. About 2 darts per second. I get about 35 feet stock and level. I plan to put lithium batteries in, hopping the ROF and ranges.

I've also noticed that whenever i play with one of my first-timer friends they always lean towards my automatic guns... Their like "AWE DUUUDE THIS THING LIKE SHOOTS LIKE A BAJILLION BOOLETS A SECOND!!!"
Excuse my poor spelling i was just replicating how my friends talk.

Then they realize that when i chose my AT2K and they took the magstrike, they soon learned they were screwed.

So its fun to mess around with and if you have good aim, its a decent indoor CQW gun.

Although CQW in Nerf is like 8'.

I think it's a decent gun. The only con is that it won't shoot normal stefans, only matchsticks.

I am working on a new concept: a tommy A-R, complete with barrel---- cut to provide room for fly-wheels---- for outstanding accuracy, the 2 motors replaced/enhanced, and ultra capacitation. Soooo... Ubermensch... let the race begin!

My mod isn't as complicated, my friend. Last one to post a writeup is a rotten egg!

Do you think if you wraped e-tape around the fly wheels the space in between the wheels would decrease and be able to shoot stefans.Just a thought.

No, e-tape I am pretty sure would overlap over the top of the flywheels and slow them down, and kill your AT, or MT 20.

[Ubermensch]

My t20 has rubber bands around the flywheels to shoot stefans. I'm sure e-tape cut in half would work just as well.

Well, after some hard work this morning, my experimental mod is teetering on the edge of being a total failure. Cross your fingers!


EDIT: Gah! Double post! Sorry...

Seems to be a common issue with you... Good luck though!

[Ubermensch]

What do you mean?

[Shanks McLoin]

Since my stock tommy wouldn't fire nerf tag darts, I used a band saw to cut a chunk off the area which covers the rear of the flywheels. Now, dart tag darts can be used with my tommy, and it also jams a bit less.

I'm looking to scrounge up an innertube from a skinny bike tire and make rubber bands for the wheels.

if you open up the gun and check to see if the trigger goes back all the way to the end of the slot where the screw that holds the trigger down, you will probably find it doesn't. on my gun the screw that holds the return spring to the trigger was running into the standoff that the trigger goes around.

I notched the standoff where the screwhead hit it.
it won't seem like much but that extra little bit makes sure the cam arm really pushes the darts out well. you will find you don't have nearly so many misfires.

I even re-opened it and shaved the trigger to get a little bit more travel but it did just as well just clearing where that screw head hit.

I'm still getting wobblers but I'm hopeful the rubberbands will help there.

[Ubermensch]

NVM, I found a fix. The show's back on the road!
