Eab/1500 Integration

The internal pictures didn't come out. I'm really angry about that, but it's too much of a hassle to open the gun back up. Anyways, the 1500 tank is located where the forestock used to be. This is also where the foam is in the front of the gun. You can see the PETG barrel coming out of the front of the gun.
The gun is fired by pulled back on the large, foam contraption at the back of the gun. This pulls the firing pin. I can't explain the setup. Basically, I took an old barrel peg. Not the air restrictor type, but the kind the dart actually slides over. Since these are hollow inside, I wrapped the 1500 firing pin in electrical tape, and slid the post over it. With a little hot glue, it was secure. Then, I wrapped an electrical tie around the little plastic bend on the top of the barrel peg, and brought it out the back of the gun.
See the holes on the top of the barrel pegs? I stuck the tie through there.
Anyways, I also got the pump tube to come out the space in the back of the gun along with the firing mechanism. The reason there's a space there is because in the Expand-a-Blast there's originally a stock that pops out. After removing the stock, there plenty of space to toy with.
Anyways, here's the finished product from the side and user's point of view. Once again, I'm sorry that the internal shots didn't come out.
<EDIT> I found the following picture: it's the internals of the gun. However, this is an outdated shot. The whole "air restrictor" firing mechanism is not there yet. Just to let you know, this original design was faulty, but I'm just posting it so you guys can get a general idea.

Well, I like my integration. The second gun is removable. As soon as my batteries are charged, I'll post what I did. I prefer ones that don't have odd parts of the gun sticking out (i.e. pumps, things used to pull the pin, etc.). Yeah, prepare to be pwned at Armageddon, Grinchy! Or at least feel the wrath of the gun at my house.

Yeah, I did. Like I said, the top one has a big foam contraption on the back, which is used for the trigger. The internal shot down below is outdated. The current internals look nothing like that.Great job, dude. Did you ever get your second shot working?

Sorry, with that I didn't really mean it.I prefer ones that don't have odd parts of the gun sticking out (i.e. pumps, things used to pull the pin, etc.).
I love the way you fit the SM1500 in, using the spaces that were previously filled with the various expanding crap.
I just prefer things like GrOOvE's, where you can tell what the guns on it are.
Just kidding, Grinch. Can't wait to try it/feel what it's like to get hit by two similtanious uber-shots!
If anyone wants to compare Grinchy's gun to my responce, please refer to this thread.
Yay! I quoted myself! I'm a badass!
