Nerf Crossbow Help
#1
Posted 22 May 2009 - 04:17 PM
The reason im mad is I have heard people getting 100+ feet flat with a crossbow like mine. I have a DT3 spring replacement, replaced plungertube, and a replaced plunger head that make a perfect seal within the new plunger tube.
Can someone help me out?

Is your seal TOO tight, so much that is causing friction?

Although some experienced modders can get ranges like that, a lot of people lie on the internet. If your getting 80-90s or just 80s, thats still pretty good ranges.

StealthMan: 80-85 feet flat, no bungees.
Hi Yah!: Yes.
Darth_Tom: Barrel is OMCs thichwalled PETG and the darts im using are blacksunshine darts, as my darts don't fit PETG good enough for a springer.

Nice, that's the exact same barrel and darts I use on my Crossbow. How long is your barrel? One foot should be about perfect. And your main problem is probably your seal. Just check it really quick. You should be able to dry-fire your gun while completely covering your coupler with your hand. And the gun's plunger handle should move extremely slow, or stop moving altogether. If you can't, just flip your plunger head around and hold it there for a minute or two.Barrel is OMCs thichwalled PETG and the darts im using are blacksunshine darts, as my darts don't fit PETG good enough for a springer.
I guess you have some heavy duty industrial strength toilet paper holders. Do they advise you to wear eye protection when changing rolls?

What about the plunger seal? it looks like the stock seal so that would make me believe with a new plunger tube it's not getting the best seal it can get.

That will answer you question.

Hey...I got a crazy idea: how about you stop all that sigging stuff? It's not even my thread and it annoys me.

On the other hand, the guy who posted before me used the word 'fuck' a lot so he probably knows what he's talking about.

This was my x-bow, and I must say that the seal is perfect. Not too tight or too loose (please don't sig). Your problem may be the power being put into it or dart-barrel combo. Beef up the spring or slap on some bungees and see what happens. I re-enforced it all pretty well, so it should hold up.
What you didn't do is reinforce it with aluminium and nails, which I did. Hot wheels beat that!

If that plunger rod is a made out of metal, like it appears to be, that could be your problem. The extra weight may be slowing down the plunger head to the point where it dramatically reduces your ranges.
It's one of Slug's aluminum ones. Shouldn't be a problem, you just may need more power to put it.

Also the plunger head is a bbb's plunger head not a DT3's. Does anyone happen to have a solid crossbow plunger rod? I got one with the crossbow, but it seems to be broken beyond repair, and yes i do know how to repair one.

It's only 3 ounces heavier than the stock one.Quite frankly, a solid aluminum plunger rod weighs a lot more than the plastic one.

But what Cannonball said is 100% correct, in my book. You don't need redonkulous ranges to be proud of and use your xbow. Just because everyone else is playing the range game doesn't mean you have to.
