The plunger consist of a long and skinny metal rod, with a ring of E tape. It is bent around the string to hold it.If you don't care, then why did you post the topic? If those ranges are real, how exactly are you getting the string attached to a PT without uneven advancement, therefore killing the seal? (unrelated: lakewoodz, check your pms. i see you on there.)

The OP was by no means the first to try this.
But you won't be seeing any "proof" from me.
This is a site devoted to TOYS that reasonable people can reasonably shoot at each other without expecting grievous injury. This insane shit just does not qualify.
This is no more useful to the nerf hobby than being "first" to post something about launching a foam dart from a firearm. "But ... but ... but ... it's only blanks!" Yeah, right. Just ask Brandon Lee how safe that is. Oh, you can't?
I don't know if you noticed, but he said it was at a 45 degree angle. So, I'd guess it gets 80' flat, which is about the same as the CPVC bows, which is not unreasonable. The only unreasonable part of this whole thing is claiming ranges based on a 45 degree shot.

;_; Hey, I know you... But... You can't be you! There's no coming back, man! There's no coming back!
Range is how far the gun shoots, at max.
Not here. In the NIC, we quote ranges with no angle, parallel to the ground. Otherwise there is too much room for error. Also, check with ANYONE in firearms, none of them would quote a range based upon a ballistic trajectory.

I'm sure someone could make a blackpowder nerf gun, or something ridiculous like that, but the purpose of nerfing isn't to propel a dart as far as humanly possible. We play with toys.

Anyone else hoping for this to go wrong, right in front of his face?The plunger consist of a long and skinny metal rod, with a ring of E tape. It is bent around the string to hold it.
It's been done, the idiots fired a tagger out of .44 black powder. it didn't end well.I'm sure someone could make a blackpowder nerf gun, or something ridiculous like that, but the purpose of nerfing isn't to propel a dart as far as humanly possible. We play with toys.

First thing first. This is not real firearms, this is nerf. We quote flat ranges because they are the most uniformly verifiable, and they are the only effective way to use our blasters accurately. If you refuse to give us flat ranges, you'll just have to deal with us calling you an idiot.
Second, I don't care what you do or do not consider safe. I have a thousand 13 year old kids reading this site, so I'm not in the habbit of encouraging the use of anything built for a purpose other than shooting safely at 13 year old kids.
That's it, no discussion.
