Its semi-auto

[doubleshot]

Well, Slug was right, it is pneumatic. Looks terrible stock, the darts were coming out almost sideways. Still would very much like to get one though.

[darkstar42]

You know what? That kind of looks edited. Sneaky bastards.

[Kid Flash]

I don't think it looks edited... I want one so much.

[Forsaken angel24]

I noticed a few things in the video.

1: It plugs into a wall.
2: The pressure chamber had alot of power and the shells were not long enough. For the air output.
3: The top part of the life size Vulcan still has that spring loaded receiver which acts as a safety.
4: It probably has an air compressor built into it.
5: I want one now more than ever.

Is it just me, or is this thing begging to be mounted onto the bed of a pick-up truck?

That would be pretty funny, have a remote in the car and control it with that and shoot people behind you. Anyways this looks like it would be expensive and it doesn't shoot well so I don't really want it.

[Dr Rockzo]

I doubt this will ever be available to the public. You can't even call this thing a toy.

[CaptainSlug]

I could probably make one if I felt like it and had enough money. But I wouldn't have a use for it...

Other than shooting speedwalkers.


Shells look like they're 1" SCH40 PVC and the huge darts could be made from 1" FBR.

Pneumatic system could be set for semi-automatic triggering but made fully-automatic by linking the trigger to a timer circuit that controls a solenoid valve.

Damn. That thing is fatter than Chubbs.

It looks cool though. Too bad you can never buy one... It'd probably be like, 150$ Anyway.

I personally like how they attached that black mesh bag on the right side to keep the chain from dragging or getting caught on something.

[ice]

I don't get it. Nerf made a bigger vulcan? Why?!?

[One Man Clan]

Yep, it's a promotional tool they will take to industry related things. Look at my profile pic of Me, Talio, and Groove next to a GIANT Optimus Prime. That thing was on tour when the Transformers movie came out. Our pictures is several years before that.

It's all marketing.

[aamiller321]

It looks like the darts just fell out of the barrel from the start most times, like 6 or 7 shots in that on just kind of flops out of the barrel.

[Jabulus]

Well, if it is proportionately scaled up, then the barrel would be huge, and even though it could be shooting megas, that barrel probably just isn't tight enough. If someone did get ahold of that monster, the first thing they'd need to do is a barrel replacement.

[ice]

Imagine how powerful it would be with regular stefans!
