Sorry, but I'm going to have to question where you get "efficient" out of that. 50 pumps for a single 40' shot? Buy a Nitefinder.

Agreed. But a better dart/barrel fit might make this more effective.

[Hi Yah]

How can you pump it 50 times in 15 seconds?

Effective, no. More range, yes. Regardless of range though, 50 pumps for a single shot, no matter how fast you can pump those 50 up and no matter how far that shot goes, will not be effective in a war situation.

Hey, I bought two of these from a goodwill and nested 1/2" pvc inside 3/4" thinwall pvc and nested that in the front blue part and can consistently get 60 ft. with mega darts (stock ones not stefans) with only pumping 20 to 30 times. I think you need to check something. My 1/2 pvc barrel is about 7 " long.

You're definitely over-pumping. The overpressure valve triggers far before 50 pumps so you're just wasting your energy. There's a little hole on the base of the pump handle. If you put your finger over it and pump, air will vent from that hole when the tank is full. Count how many pumps and do a range test with that amount, the ranges should be the same.

[roboman]

I would really consider adding a ball pump to that... it would make it way faster to pump...think 3-4 pumps instead of 50...

Also, if I were you, I'd plug the overpressure release valve and use a different barrel material, like brass or PETG, so you can squeeze more power out of it.

40 FT, What did you do. I posted this mod a while ago. all I did was put some FBR and G-glue around a piece of 1/2 cpvc and e taped it and I'm getting 95 flat 120 angled.

*Edit* Oh and it only takes me 20 pumps to get the those ranges with Stephans

This is so weird. I was just about to ask if anyone has seen or modded these. Where's you get this?

[nerfkid3]

I got mine by selling 500$ worth of cubscout popcorn but you can by them on amazon for around 75$ last I checked

20 bucks at TRU by me.

The reason he's getting lackluster ranges are because of his lack of barrel length, and his overpumping. Dart weight may also attribute to this.

Wrong. If that shot goes 200+ feet and has 100% accuracy, I would consider it effective. If you can nail an enemy at that distance, you have time for 50 pumps.

I know that a 200' shot with 100% accuracy is virtually impossible.

Other than the ergonomics of the blaster, and if your barrel is freakishly short, what really affects range is the shooter. 100% accuracy is impossible. Even if that was the case, however, fine, hit one member of the other team at 200 ft. You now have several other people from said team after you while you're scrambling to re-pump your 50 times.

Regardless, this has nothing to do anymore with this blaster, so if you'd like to discuss the topic more, feel free to PM me. I don't mind debating...but I do where it doesn't belong.

As for the blaster, apparently people seem to be getting better results. Try a longer barrel, pump plug, and pumping it less times. You will certainly achieve better results.

[tack66]

I used stock darts,with stefans I can get 60 flat and about 20 pumps.Also it is a very short pump ergo time for 50.

Way to think out side of the box on this mod,

i like to see an air powered toy of any sort not used for Nerf to be made into a Nerf gun

Good Job
