I finished one of the projects I have on my list.
I have enjoyed FA24's recent instructional videos. I think they more clearly describe what to do than with the traditional writeup.
So I gave it a go and here are the links.

recommended Megavideo (music)

Youtube (no music)

Not banded:
85'
95' 10"

I like it, It doesn't fuck up the mega pistol look of the gun, which I like.

What are the ranges?

[Rogue Warrior]

At the last few seconds of the video, did you prime it? It sounded like the catch engaged it but the plunger rod went back foward.

[bobafan]

No official ranges yet, but it shoots consiterably farther than my turreted NF which gets low 80s.

Rouge warrior: I don't think it caught. I actually opened it back up because I forgot the trigger. I also put in a better catch spring. I didn't include this in the video because I think you can figure out to put in the trigger and I had already replaced the catch spring once.

Yeah, it's Jimi. VooDoo Child live at woodstock.
I didn't think I had seen a nerf video with Jimi before so I decided to go for it.

[Soothsayer]

Decent, this definitely makes me reconsider most spring guns. Gonna explore around and see if I can figure something similar out. Either way, amazing job.

The plunger tube is 3/4 pvc? How did you get 1/2 to fit into it, and still need electrical tape to make it seal? It seems really thin.

[bobafan]

Whups. I should've said used SDR 21 pvc pipe not schedule 40.
Edit: I put a note of it in the video.

Nice. When I watch this video I think of me. Which means I think this is awesome.

If you are going to do another video for another gun like this. Try to add in some firing shots, range tests, how to load etc. These types of things really add to it. Just some constructive criticism.

Nice vid. Make me feel like make one. One thing I've wondered for a while (and even tryed) is how do you have you camera set up? Is it on a tripod or does the camera have a swivel lense?

Anyway, nice vid!

[bobafan]

The camera is on a tripod.

Thanks for the complements FA. I'll put those things in next time.

Your welcome for the brass. But that aside this is amazing. Is the arrow shooter your other secret project that you wouldn't tell me about except look at nerf hq. Nobody looks at nerfhq.

[bobafan]

I don't have the arrow shooter.
