Before anyone bags on me, I did search.
So is it possible? Or was the gun design accualy designed for
20 bullets? If a titan could get that much range, i bet so could a
Rapid Fire 20, if not more. Is it possible, has it already been done?

I am desperately trying to hold back my flaming so I will make this short.

It would be possible, not practical, and the single shot would have the range of a rapid-fire shot.

The regulated piston mechanism is designed to fire continuously so long as the trigger valve is depressed into the open position. You can control the rate of fire by adjusting the flow rate between the trigger and the piston (the stock rapidfire 20 includes such a feature) but it's not designed for nor is it optimal for single-fire.

You won't see any noticeable gain in performance.

I don't know of any nice way to saythis, so here goes: If you had any concept of how nerf guns work, you wouldn't suggest this stupid fucking mod. And "bullets?" Really? You fail. /Flamefest

And on topic, pretty much all of the flames are what I think, so I'll leave this alone.

My brother tried this with a magstrike. He put a buttload of rubber bands on the bladder and it only got 10 ft.

I know you are probably new to the nerf modding scene, so I understand completely. Around this time last year, I was still new to modding, and did'nt know how the hell a Magstrike really worked. So I thought the same thing. So.. I tried to single a magstrike, and killed it. End of story. Waste of thirty dollars.

I think its worth it to make it so it dumps like half of the bladder when you shoot, if I ever get a rf20 with a broken rotation mech, I know what I'm gonna do.

It was discussed MULTIPLE TIMES that what you're advocating is at odds with how the gun actually, ya know, WORKS. Everyone else was trying to keep a new modder from making a serious fuck-up, and you resurrect this thread to do nothing but confuse matters.

Hmm I have experimented with this concept. I didn't use the RF20 shell, just the mechanism while I was trying to prototype a loading system.
I made a ghetto magazine, with fabicated PVC shells, and managed to get the reciprocating RF20 mechanism to load and fire a dart from each shell with good success rate. I only made about 6 shells for the testing, but it worked okay. Needless to say, the design needed refining to maximise efficiency of seals and stuff. The range I got from a 4" barrel were about 15', and this was a very rough assembly.

So yes, you could do it, but as has been said, very impractical.
