When readng these replies and all the complaints of how there is soooo much dead space(exagerate), I got reminded of one of my old projects I had abandoned. It is very similar to this one, but insted of the dart stopper right behind the dart when it gets dropped in, it's right infront of the plunger. I am not sure if it could work in this application as the lever can only travel a certain distance, but it can be something to experiment with.

Here's a picture I quickly drew up...


Red-PVC
Blue-9/16
Pinkish-dart stopper

EDIT: After watching the video again, I realized that the rear bolt thinger is what loads the dart into the barrel, but if you were to swap out the rear moving bolt to a stationary bolt, and use the barrel to lock in a dart, then that should also drop some dead space.

Thanks everyone.
A couple of things -
Draconis/foamfoot - It has definitely happened to me too. I don't present this as a completely original idea, merely an original, functional modification.

Surrendermonkey - First, welcome to the haven. I appreciate the legibility of your post honestly. We don't always get that from new members. I've had enough hpa/co2 powered projects for my tastes, in my longshot (http://nerfhaven.com...ic=5250&st=1620) really. The brass eagle came in an eBay lot a while back. I keep my projects to myself for the most part though .

Rokor, I understand what you're getting at, but I don't really appreciate the speculation, especially towards that which I already responded to.

How do members get Contributor status? I think Split's perfect for the job.

I Agree.
