Well, it didn’t turn out as pretty as I had hoped, but it’s effective and I’m going to try again when I get another nf.
The pictures are fairly self-explanatory. I’ll document it better the next time around, because I knew this wouldn’t work as well as I had hoped. This was the case and several modifications are going to be made on the next attempt. Just sit tight.
The first things are that it shall be quad barreled, and thus for space issues, the pump will come out of the bottom.
The other thing is that on this trial I didn’t want to do any gluing, and I managed to avoid all gluing. On the next one, goop will be necessary, because the liquitron gauge will be completely removed, rather than just hacked off.
The next one will also have a revised trigger because as I bent this valve’s firing pin, I realized that I had turned myself around and that I had to bend it back. And just like a paperclip bent back then forth, the pin broke. This called for a fugly trigger fix. I lost approximately (I was very tired and stressed from midterms and chucked the broken piece; it has yet to be found in my basement) ¾” of the trigger pin. If done carefully, the trigger should be relatively simple.
Just to explain the rationale behind keeping the liquitron gauge, I figured that it would be proof that this could be done with a semi auto at2k, making it incredibly nasty.
Just imagine, it’s possible to have a spring pistol with 4 semi-auto at2k shots that mounts to your titan. Personally, I’d mount it on my powerclip, but whatever.
Here is the side with the liquitron. It had to be hacked way more than I wanted to, but it’s stable. Surprisingly.
Here’s a close-up of the fuglyest part of the gun. It sure as hell won’t be winning Ms. Nerf 2005.
Here’s the prettier side. Looks a good bit more badassed.
Here’s a close-up of the double trigger. It’s fairly comfy. The aluminum hard-drive ring makes a good trigger, but can be a bit of a pain to pull repeatedly. The original trigger was dremeled until when pulled back, roughly 1/8” was still sticking out. (ie – trigger isn’t quite flush with the back of the trigger-guard-hole)
Well, the ranges are about normal, but due to how hard it is to pull the integrated second trigger back quickly to maximize performance, the at2k is barely sub-par, but could still leave a bruise (rules of thumb, or trigger finger – close range, nf; mid to long range, at2k)
This was my first integration, and I highly suggest something easier to start integrating.
I should get the next one done soon; in the mean time, give this one a go.

Oh, and possible paintjobs? other than black? black has become slightly worn out to me...
