Here is a tommy gun I created, It fires steaphens and is full automatic.




Here is the external air tank from a Nerf Rapid Fire 20





Here is the gun Itself.






It's firering system is a wild fire plunger attached to a inline clip.





The front.



Some more pics of the gun.




Me with the gun.

Pics aren't working.

So all you did was hot glue a Rf20 Blatter Bladder, Not air tank, and a wildfire piston to a inline clip. Tape that onto a amalgam of cardboard and foam core. Then give it a shitty pj. Clean it up and I'll shut up.




Nice pic. Smile next time.

Edit: Read my last post. Its self explanatory.

You blinked.

I'm pretty sure if you put that into Indy Mogul's Public Enemies Tommy Gun it'll be awesome.

And Jubjub, it's bladder.

Despite the horrid appearance of this blaster, I like the inline wildfire piston. After hearing muffonchop's RF20 idea I was thinking about doing something like that.

[MegaMoose]

What you need to do is replace that fake cardboard circle with the raider drum mag. That would be cool. It shouldn't be overly hard to clip the barrel.

[CROW]

It's like arts and crafts with Nerf!

[CA13]

Trust me. A wooden gun that sort of resembles a Thompson wont make you look like Al Capone. Try a suit instead of jean shorts, another 15 years (you 12 year old) and while your at it, take your favorite knife and cut from your cheek, starting just below your mouth and right above your eye.

I don't care if it's uglier than your mother as long as it works. I want to see proof before I pass any judgment. Video proof would work nicely, until some is posted, I will continue to think that this is just card and foam board glued to nerf parts.

Nice.

I've been wanting to do something like this. My question is, does the inline clip function properly with the high rate of fire?

[DontFragMeBro]

I'm an insanely apathetic and disrespectful moron, sorry.

Not always sometimes it fires more like a shotgun but I need to make more stephans to figure out if it works like it should.

Yeah, it is probably how fast the piston is firing.
One of these could be put on the tubing after the trigger and before the piston. That clamps the tubing and the tighter it is, the slower it fires. The slower rate of fire will make it easier for the darts to leave one at a time rather than a shotgun burst.

Those clamps are available here:

good idea i'll have to ponder about getting one of those. Although I still have the valve that limits air from my Rapid fire 20

HaHaHa does it even shoot?

It fires steaphens and is full automatic.

Wait wait wait. It's fully automatic. You have one post to explain that Al Capone or I'm going to give you the equivalence of a syphilis induced death in regards to these forums. Cause that thing isn't fully automatic.

Inline clips are funny like that. I can fire my inline clipped-lanard hand cannon at an upward angle as fast as I can pump it.

I can see how an intermittent airflow (coming from a RF20 or magstrike piston tube) connected to an inline clip could make the gun shoot automatically. This thread actually gave me some good ideas, I have some spare magstrike internals that I'm going to try this shit out on. It could potentially be a very nice, compact integration if done correctly.

[Actually Awesome]

How long is it fully auto. before you have to pump it back up?

[Lt Stefan]

More like how long does it take for the darts to run out. I would assume the Magstrike bladder would run longer than the amount of darts the clip can carry.

[Wes7143]

Alright, so I was curious about this, myself, so instead of arguing and comparing facts, and all that boring stuff, I just stuck an inline clip on a magstrike, and tested if it works. I video taped this, so all of you non-believers could see.



Just in case the video doesn't work, the inline clip does work, and is fully automatic. It fires about as far as a usual magstrike, and shoots about 3 shots per 5 magstrike air outputs (this video was a good one, and fired 3 for 3, at the highest possible ROF).

[jackster57]

This is definitely better than the lancer.

[wohnson89]

I really hope that was sarcasm.
If it is not sarcasm, my friend you need to get your brain checked out, because the lancer is awesome.

Oh and kid, remember, carbord bends and dosn't work well when wet. So please don't cry when i tell you this, it looks like crap.

That makes sense now. I was under the impression that there was some sort of mechanism to load and fire a dart one at a time, which would function in either semi or full-auto. For clarification, is the "fully automatic" function based on the already existing components of the Magstrike? I ask this because I have used what is evidently known as an inline clip (loading several darts in a barrel), but the result was the expulsion of all darts at once as a shotgun, not in an automated, semi-predictable burst (the type of result one expects with the term "fully automatic").

I would guess that the results shown in the video reflect more of the mechanical function of the Magstrike, than the results of an inline clip in general, especially considering what would happen if there were a constant flow of air from the bladder to the barrel (mentioned above) as the Tommy Gun appears to be built for (unless I'm not seeing the rest of the Magstrike components). In that case the inline clip isn't really a clip since "clip," to me at least, suggests an ability to not only fire multiple darts in succession, but in a controlled manner either in semi or full-auto.

This is a cool homemade/modification, but I don't see how it's fully automatic.

Loading a bunch of darts into a barrel isn't an inline clip. That's called "shotgunning." An inline clip is where you have a section of larger tubing that holds the darts in between the air output and the actual barrel, such as 1/2" pvc (the clip) with 1/2" cpvc (the barrel) stuck into the end. It's like an rscb without the 90 degree and T couplers.

Like this:

_________________________--------------------------------

The darts go in the bigger tube, the gun is tilted down to load a dart into the barrel, shoot and repeat. Wes was using the Magstike to shoot out one dart at a time from the clip. He could have stopped before all the darts had been fired by letting go of the trigger, i.e a controlled burst.

I understand now, thanks! The video doesn't show a tilting down of the Magstrike though, and although there are only a few views of the actual barrel, it just looks like 1/2" sch40, though I guess it could have something smaller in it. If the Tommy Gun is setup with a real inline clip then I withdraw my criticism.
