This is my version of Cx's BAMF.

Its all straight. I know the barrel is too short. I need to reglue the snader valve. With a stock tagger it shot 400 feet angled 20* (more or less). When I shoot it 20 PSI ( I always shoot it 15-25 PSI) it dents the drywall with a BB tipped streamline.


Its a screw bleed, but if I turn it fast, it releases air fastly.


This is the trigger I'm trying to add. Could someone help me with this part?

Also, since a solenoid is powered by an electric magnetic coil, could I use a magnet as a trigger?
I'm using it at ECNO by the way!

Forgot to resive, sorry

You use three nine volt batteries to trigger the selenoid valve. You could probably bump the PSi up a bit if you wanted. good luck with regluing the valve. a little sloppy on the primer but whatever I used to be almost that bad too or maybe it was that I didnt care.

Could I use 6 AA batteries?

I just used more primer because I didn't know how far the fitting would go. Better safe than sorry.

I'd use more PSI, but I'm using a bike pump, and I don't want to to explode. I get 200+ feet 10*, so thats fine for me.

Keef, for your trigger it would be a much better idea to use a push-button switch, which will onlykeep the valve pen for as long as you hold down the switch. It will be more functional and save battery life that way.
A 9V battery lead will be cheaper to buy than a AA battery box.

I'm using it at ECNO by the way!

Not likely. If you can't shoot yourself at point-blank range with it (without injury) then it's not war-safe. Anything that shoots farther than 130 feet is not likely to be allowed.

Keef Take a look at this.

Yeah. I already have the AA battery holder. It has 3 battery spots in 2 rows. Like an equal sign =

I only bought the toggle switch so I could use it more like a trigger.

Go to image shack or photobucket and upload your image. The site will provide you with the proper html tag to use in a forum. Also, try periods. Seriously, punctuation is mandatory.

Yay I finished my +bow...

Thanks Slug!

[venom213]

Great job Ryan. I thought you were going to have your +bow at MNSBW. But, you did have your amazing crossbow. I just hope I don't end up looking down the barrel of either at the next war.

[BOULDASAUR]

Here's my very simplistic homemade gun:


Size reference:


It gets about 60' consistently.

[MoonMaster]

How does it work exactly, BOULDASAUR?

[BOULDASAUR]

How does it work exactly, BOULDASAUR?

It's extremely simple. I plan on making better, cooler ones.
Anyway, here's most of the plunger:


I attached some more cpvc to the end of that. That middle part of the plunger is a (I believe) 3/4" CPVC coupler. The coupler is glued into some (I think) 1" PVC which contains most of the plunger assembly. I glued all of this inside some 1 1/4" PVC. The pump action has a nail that goes through to the other side of the gun. The nail pulls back the plunger, and since the coupler is glued in place, the spring gets contracted. The trigger system is just a basic clothespin trigger. The metal rod in the trigger rides along a groove in the back section of the plunger until it slips into a hole. This cocks the gun. I made slots which the nail in the pump can be pulled through in order to pull the pump back to the starting position.

I hope that made sense

Here's a video from when the gun was fully functioning (but without a handle): Video

My homemade shell breach.


Its 3/4 cpvc with 21/32 barss connected to some 3/4 pvc and a stationary peice of cpvc in the back with 15/32 in it and 3 inches of cpvc in the front.

P.S. it uses cpvc as shells

This is my cosmetic L.I.D. +bow. Looks somewhat like a +bow but is actually an L.I.D. with a +bow shell around it.


Those pictures aren't as recent, now I have added dart holders and colored the + red. For more info you can visit the Cosmetic +bow write up.

Big SNAP with 11 shot breach loading RSCB magazine in the stock. It uses a 12" barrel with a detachable 8.5" extension.

The vertical handle feels comfy because I never hold it like a pistol.

Finally, something finished that's worth putting in the pictures thread....

Here's the finished product of the SNAP-duo, which I am now calling the SNAP-6 Leviathan



And the underside.

Edited by Carbon, 22 June 2011 - 09:40 PM.

[quiet asian man]

I relocated barrel on my Snap1b, losing some of the magazine in exchange for the pvc "tube." It gets pretty much the same range as before, but with 3 shot RSCB instead of 11 and it is 14 inches shorter.

I made it so it is relatively east to revert back, and I'm probably going to do this. 11 shots is just too awesome.
