Alright, I'm posting this in case anyone has any comments or visible flaws that they can see with any of the guns...



Ok first off, the x-bow has a sm1k attached to it, as well with a laser pointer wired to the little button, conviniently located where my thumb can access it. I get about 70-80 flat with the x-bow barrel, the sm1k is untested. Although I'm guessing the sm1k ranges to be about 90-100, if not further. As for internal mods, it has a DT3 spring in there, and as you can see, rubber bands. The x-bow barrel itself has 2 inches of 17/32 brass in 10 inches of 9/16 brass, as well as the coupler combination like in Rawray's mod at NH. The trigger is still the same, with the keyring attached to the firing pin on the sm1k via duct tape and some k'nex I had laying around. It's a bit different than my previous x-bow AT2k mod, and it has a decent coat of paint on it.

The sm5k has an AT2k turret on it, and it's linked to the air chamber via a small piece of brass and alot of hot glue, the seal seems to be holding quite well. the barrels are slanted to compensate for the fact that I was too lazy to get the AT2k turret on exactly straight. Ah, and it's missing the 4th barrel because my ACE hardware ran out .

The nitefinder is just thrown in there for fun, and to fill in the space.

If you guys have any comments or suggestions, such as the barrel is too long on a gun or something, let me know, it's much appreciated. Also, feel free to ask any questions, or if I may have forgotten something. If anyone for some reason can't perform any of these by themselves, I can tell you how I did mine. (using text anyways)

I modded my teachers sm5k (such a fine gun). I kept on the front handguard and didn't relocate the air tank. This allowed a breech system to operate, which I've founmd more convenient than a ramrod loading assembly. I used a 1/2 in. PVC coupler glued into the end of the front handguard(strangely a perfect fit). I glued in a 4 in segent of 1/2 in. PVC and inside that a cratola barrel. From there, I glued another coupler onto that. This way, the barrel can be inserted into the breech once the dart is loaded. Coincidentially, I turned the longer barrel into a H2H weapon in case the fecal matter hits the rappidly oscillating mechanism. I got good range and accuracy, but because It was so darn front heavy I glued a weight into the back. My teacher uses it whenever he plays in my backyard. Though a nube, he's been a pretty hot sharpsooter. I prefer my souped up SMXX 1500, but that's crazy old me.

Wow, interesting, Seirus. As a welcoming to NH, let me quote you out of context. Let's see... your relationship with your teacher seems interesting enough, I'll try that.

my teacher (fine!)- I allowed the ramrod (strangely a perfect fit). It can be inserted into the longer barrel, into the fecal matter.

My teacher... he's pretty hot.  I prefer old.

Hahah, anyways if you want to explain yourself, feel free. It sounds kind of weird when I quote just the tasty bits from your post.


As for ompa's mods- the Xbow and NF look fine, but the SM5k has me cringing. When are you gonna give some love to that gun? It's missing the pump tip and the cover to the handle. And what's the deal with the barrels? Figure out some way to space them out, if you're not going to use the AT2k's spacer. If you want a good turreted SM5k walkthrough, try MysticNinja's. Lastly, why don't you give the 5k a paintjob like you did the other 2?

Well, the sm5k isn't even done yet... it's just what I have so far. I probably won't paint it, because my x-bow at a distance kind of looks like a real gun, and I want to avoid any "trouble" with any law enforcement. My barrels aren't spaced out properly because I had to compensate for the fact that the barrels were pointing at a slight downward angle if I just put the barrels on straight.
