I couldn't remember which sm it was. For some reason I think it was 500.
Anyways, wine finally came in the mail, and I was amazed at the distance it shot, stock. So, I opened it up, took off the crappy scope, etc.
I got the stock barrel off easily, and found that the stock barrel's back 2" or so was hollow. Damn. It’ s also large enough to fully accommodate pvc! Wow. That’s wide.
Anyways, since it shot so well with such an empty space it the back, I was wondering how much brass to use. What do you think? Have you done this before?
I think I might use 7-8" of 9/16". It should be a really awesome pistol once it's done.
I'll post pics if people need help identifying the gun I’m talking about.

Please, do post pictures- I've tried my best to mod mine, but I can't seem to get over 60ft from it- off of 4 pumps, with a plugged release valve... I had a coupler system on mine with 6 inches of brass, and it failed miserably.

6-7" will do you good.I have one except there was major breakage in the handle and it;s ghetto rigged so you pull the handle back to fire.

Oh and mine can hit 90 feet.

Was that the one that was recently on ebay? U bastard! I bid 22.95 + shipping on that thing!

[Jlego]

i'm going to use a7" barrel. I decided on this because it is roughly 1.2x as large as the sm750's valve and i believe that the sm750 needs more that 6" to begin with.
I'll post pics tomorrow if i get the time between an Ap Chem test, lab report, and english paper. Ughhhhh.
And by the way about ebay. If i outbid you, whatever, nothing personal, i just have been looking for that gun, so i prolly won't get the next one that comes along. I really wanted this one because the last time i saw one it was 12$ total, and i passed it up. Man, that was stupid, but i was new to modding, old to nerf.
Anyways, pics WILL be up tomorrow, if not, thursday or friday. ranges by friday, too.

On Sniper5000's old site he said not to plug the pressure release valve for some reason.

[Jlego]

Uh-oh. I allready did that. Can you remember why he said not to?
I really don't want to mess this up. It's almost done, it still needs some work, the brass and pvc are cut, but the air output is so great, i need heavier darts. What kind of weights do people use again? if fishing what size? my old tackle box got thrown out a while ago, and so i'll have to buy some.

split shot bb size. I use bbs.

[Jlego]

I use bb's too, but, it's too much for them.

You'll need 1/4" slingshot ammo.

And no, I don't know why you don't need to plug the valve. You can always take the glue out, then if the ranges are really bad, plug it. I know someone who has a Small Soldiers gun they can get you for cheap, if needed.

[Jlego]

I might just be interested, thank you very much. I don't think i can get the glue out, i did it through the holes in the back of the pump. PM me about the cheap one, if nothing else, i'll end up selling the worst of the two. And where would i buy 1/4 slingshot ammo?

Iwas joking jlego, npo prob.

[Jlego]

I don't really care, but once Janga pmed me when i outbid him and it just goes like this:

All's fair in nerf and ebay
except for crotch shots in nerf, those AREN'T fair. Although crotch shots are MUCH worse in fencing. I've seen the distorted twisted looks of pain in men's faces, and it is ugly.

[Viper]

I still hate you for that.

[Jlego]

you could just pm me about that.

Back on topic, though.
I made a pretty ghetto 2 bb dart, and it looks like it flew fairly well, i'll post ranges when i can measure them.

[LDM]

Jlego, I replied to your PM about the gun. Did you get it?

[Jlego]

indeed i did, i just haven't had a chance to email him yet.
Love that adress though cuthulu totally eats your soul, in an awesome way
direct him to www.machall.com they used to make lots of cuthulu jokes, and they had/have a great t-shirt with him on it asking "sell your soul for a cookie?" i'm sure he'll love it.
