Okay, I know I'm very new to this website, but I am a very experienced Nerfer. I have made 4 snapbows, and 1 pumpsnap in my career.But this isn't an autobiography, so moving on. I was looking on this website for a good bow mechanism, but I found none that were simple, so I made my own out of parts that were laying around. The basis of my design is a hybrid based upon the snapbow, and the AAbow. Surprisingly, it only took about 1 hr to build since it is so simple. Here is a pic of the whole thing -

What you cannot see is the 1/2 inch cpvc coupler that fits snugly inside the 1 1/4 inch pipe, behind the front bushing. I bored it out so that the cpvc bowarms can slide safely in and not wiggle. This is what simplifies the gun so much as opposed to the cross at the front which I find sloppy. Here's a pic of the front portion.

obviously, you have to hot glue the bajeebers out of the cpvc ends that stick out of the pipe so air doesn't escape, to matter how tight your hole is (giggity).

Please guys, if you would like a writeup, I would be most willing to oblige the next time I make one of these. Seriously, they are so easy, everyone should have one. Also I can take more pics if questions arise.

Thanks

Please make it so we can view, links don't allow us because it's in your google drive.

We can't view whatever you are trying to show us. It looks like you are attempting to link a google mail document which isn't supported on this site (or anywhere other than gmail I presume). Try uploading your photo to a image hosting site such as Photobucket or Imgur.

You should edit this post and make it a writeup. If all you have is pictures, post them in homemade pictures thread.

Regardless, your pictures aren't working - don't use GDrive to share them, follow the picture posting guide and use something like photobucket or imgur.

Ok, so i looked at the tutorial and here are the pics I took. I can't post the writeup yet because of a lack of materials to make another; winter storm pax is keeping me from going to Lowes!
