I thought about singling it because I can't say I've ever seen a singled SM3K, but there's probably a good reason for that. I'm slightly hesitant to do it because its a collectors toy, yet its in horrible cosmetic shape. The internals are so simple it'd be VERY easy to integrate into another gun, but I wont do it if it wont shoot much better singled. Does anyone have experience with a singled SM3K? Should I single it and integrate it, should I just leave it alone, or should I repaint it with original colors and hold onto it until it's worth more than 5 dollars on eBay?
P.S. Don't get all pissy because I asked a question instead of trying it myself. I'm asking a question to save myself the waste of a gun.

No? Thats an Airtech 3000... I'm talking about this: http://denoffoam.tri...ctures/sm3k.jpgSo you mean something like this (except the stock) ?
If you do are you using cyraola barrels? If so I wouldn't personally but maybe try cpvc or pvc. It's really cheap at you're local hardware store.

To each his own. I'm a good shot, so a gun with rapid fire isn't as necessary to me as one with accuracy and range. I know that I couldn't get anything higher than 60 feet out of that gun without singling it, and I can reload and fire my nightfinder that shoots farther and more accurate faster than I can repump the SM3K. So in practicality, a nightfinder is more useful to me than the turreted SM3K.Taking away seven barrels to make one good one is a waste. Put on some barrels that don't suck (ie, not crayolas) and you should get better ranges.

It never hurts to have all three.

Use better darts.

I don't believe you, but if you already have a faster gun that outranges the SM3k with better accuracy why are you keeping the SM3k at all? Sell it, buy a Big Blast and you're set. I'd think you could get $15 out of it and Big Blasts are $10 new so you'd be making a small profit and getting a gun out of it that's better suited to your needs.
If you're intent on modding the SM3k I still think you should keep the barrels; if nothing else it could be a loaner in case someone needs a gun to use or a fun gun to use with stock ammo like Splitlip said.

You don't believe I can pull a dart out of a nightfinder ammo holder, stick it in the barrel, cock it and shoot it faster than I can pump a SM3K 4 times? I don't see how thats hard to believe, I'm sure a lot of people could do that. Four years ago, all I had for a good 6 moths was a nightfinder, I got pretty good at loading it fast, but most people should be able to do it. Anyways, I started this topic to see if anyone has ever tried singling a SM3K. So far, it seems like everyone is guessing with what they think will happen.I'm a good shot, so a gun with rapid fire isn't as necessary to me as one with accuracy and range.

And I wouldn't use the SM3K as a primary, there's no way it'd have the range. I'd integrate it into something else for an extra shot because the SM3K is useless to me in a war. But I can't integrate it and the turret assemble into anything without getting a very awkward turnout...

You won't get more than 75 feet flat with it singled. Plain and simple.
The at3k tank is the same as the sm3k tank. Singled ranges are the same.
One of these statements has to be wrong, because you can get 100' out of a well-modded turreted 3k flat, not to mention likely 10'-20' more singled. As far as I know the Sm3k tank is the exact same as the 3k tank, so you should be able to achieve singled 3k-like ranges with a single Sm3k, thus the first thing you said must be wrong, Splitlip.

Singled, yes you can get 100, mine does easily. Turreted? No, you're insane. You are lucky if you get 70 for a turreted at3k

Your smoking something.
I've modded a at3k, sm3k, and all that shit. With multiple barrels on each (probably around 13 different setups on each) I've NEVER got anywhere NEAR 80 feet. Probably more around 70 feet.
So, you must be nerfing in space.
Also, make sure your measuring with feet, and not meters.
If I hear ONE more time, someone gets 100 feet from ##3k, I will beat a baby with a broken crossbow.

I've got proof....OK I don't but that's not the point, do I have to make a video and actually prove to you my singled at3k?

I don't know where you've gotten those numbers, but through practical testing and actual flat ranges are 75 max.

Holy Crap that is so going in my signature. But I will admit that I don't generally see a at3k go 100. My PETG Airtech 300 only goes roughly about 80 feet. I personally would say Don't single it, I would try to keep the turret and if you don't like it then move to single.
Church... gotta soak up that Jesus!

1.) Repaint it, then sell it
2.) Buy a turret (not unless you can salvage the crayola) and brass it
Whatever you do, don't single it, if you have a turret, that should increase your RoF. You also said that you wouldn't use it in a war because of the paintjob, if you repaint it and brass it, you should have yourself a worthy gun, don't you think?
But hey, those are my opinions, go ahead and do what you want with it.

You don't read too good do you? Haha... The gun I have has a turret in it! Hence why I considered singling it! And i NEVER said I wouldn't use it in a war because it's paint job... what kind of shallow fucker wouldn't use an ugly gun if it worked?? I wouldn't use it in a war for its piss poor ranges and bulky impracticality. The crayola barrels I have in now were put in with the intention of being taken out later, so they're just pushed in with some E-tape on the bottom of each one. With a little work I could make it a little better, but its still not primary worthy in my opinion. of course I wouldn't think an AT3K would be either, but its all in preference.Well, you wanted opinions...here's mine:
1.) Repaint it, then sell it
2.) Buy a turret (not unless you can salvage the crayola) and brass it

EDIT: If you have the new version, which is blue with a yellow tank, and a huge trigger, I would single that too, it isn't much better than the green tank.

It's just screaming to be rearloading...
I seen a movie about that once.
