Bolt action breech

Basically a PETG breech with a fancy PVC handle.








I took more (better) pics, but they didn't save for some reason...

[Ryan201821]

Inspired by Daniel Beaver. He wanted a foregrip for a +bow. I liked the idea so much I did it to mine. The handle is fully removable and adjustable. The rail and the handle are off of an airsoft gun. The bottom black piece unscrews allowing you to lock it in several positions.



My bow is getting some purple too, for obvious reasons. Right now I'm painting the priming handle purple as well.

So... Ryan... have you thought about making another one?

Of course.

I machined a 1/4" rectangular polycarbonate piece to glue the rail on. It's 1½" x 7" and basically replaces the two standoffs. It does add a noticeable amount of weight to the front but the blaster balances well using the foregrip.

I glued the rail on the piece of polycarbonate. I guess you could just use a screw and tap a hole in the 1/4" polycarbonate piece. But this works just fine, and it's going no where.

This is the handle I used. Funny thing is that my brother has an airsoft gun with the same grip. So I just removed the track from the gun and used that. But these are the rails I just ordered for Beaver's blaster. Same size but metal and a little shorter. The holes on the rail are bigger, so I would probably use screws to attach them to the piece of polycarbonate.

RSCB'd SNAPbow for stock darts



I will clean up the handle once I get more e-tape, and the trigger guard when I get more hot glue.

Holds about five taggers, no range difference from first to last, as far as I can tell.

+bow, sixteen inch PETG speedloader. I use it instead of an RSCB sometimes.

Hello nerfers! I just finished A new project of mine today so I thought that I would share it with you guys. It is a version of the snapbow but a little different. Anyway, here it is. Horray for new krylon fusion paint!





Comment please.

Bored foray into the world of homemades:



Yeah barrel is angled funny because i was lazy and impatient and the piping cuts were off. Plus the RSCB on the backend was weighing it down a bit. Repairs and tweaks since taking this pic have resulted in a more parallel barrel/pump setting, and tighter seals.

Ballpump turned out to not have a checkvalve. Bleh. Will get another checkvalve in there sometime. Also, since I was short on supplies and no transportation I couldn't grab bigger pipe for the back end/air tank. Trigger system is based off of CaptainSlug's dchap1 with some neanderthal substitutions and some MacGyvering. Wish I remembered to add in a spring and washer system to cover the minor airleak around the trigger though. =/

Ranges are a bit less than BBBB for lack of airtank.

Also needs to be fired soonish after pumping. (Check valve / air leak probs)

I'll fix it up eventually. Gotta help the roommate build a springer of his own design.

You modeled the Boltsniper-5 after an AR-15, right? If you ask me, it has more in common with an M-4 than an AR-15

@the stefen store: dude, you look like a demon in those pictures.

An update on teh Snap:



Spacers are made of acrylic and are laser cut. Holder segment is about .61" OD (6.25" is 5/8" to give you relative size), 9/16" ID (actually a bit less than that, probably more like .561 (9/16" is .5625")). Spacers are secured with hot glue. The end cap actually just has PVC inside and slides over the PETG, keeping the whole RSCB removable.

My Snap:

Normal Snap internals and a +bow spring. Close up on some parts.
The handle is hose clamped on. The trigger is "pulled" by pushing your finger upward.

The stock is made of 3/4" PVC with pipe insulation padding.

The priming handle is made of CPVC fittings and is attached with a 4-40 screw for removability.

The triple RSCB rotates on a 1/4" rod. When the first tube is empty you pull it back, turn it 120 degrees, and let it go. The tee has some o-rings so the RSCB is sealed but still easy to pull out. Also, unseen in the tee is a piece of 5/8"*3/4" vinyl tubing to guide the darts into a 12" CPVC barrel with a hole in the bottom to allow air flow.


Also, the breech to my +bow.

It is a spring operated CS-style breech. The handle is screwed into the 1/2" CPVC and superglued on. At the rear of the assembly is a piece of 21/32" brass, which makes an airtight seal with the CPVC.

I <3 Gordon's Snap.

Also, OPRV set to ~45 PSI

Write-up when I have time. All the pics are uploaded, just a matter of actually doing the writing part.

And people say titans are worthless. I call him Albert Von Shanklslootth. He has recently been reduced to two RSCBs due to four making it impossible to practically wield. But this thing was fun to think up of and finish.

[Ice Nine]

Kind of fucked up the paintjob at the mod party last night. New +bow also. Should be getting the same paint-up.

[louiec3]

Well I finally got around to finishing my DCHAP-2.
It took a lot of troubleshooting and a shitload of goop to put it lightly.


With a magstrike pump,


and 12" barrel.

This gun is awesome I'm getting about 100ft with 4 pumps and I can pump it a lot more.
There is a slight leak on the back part of the trigger but it takes 2 min to drain the tank with 4 pumps.
The best part is the trigger pull is incredibly easy no matter how much it is pumped.

[Ryan201821]

DTC 2.0

95% complete. I need a few more pieces of PVC to keep it from wobbling so much. It's entirely constructed of PVC tubing and sheeting. The core is lined on inside and out with 1/2" foam to keep from darts shattering. There's also a curtain of fabric with a weight on the bottom to absorb the energy of incoming darts.

Cobra vs. Core (Youtube link)

Another angle



The shots were fired 5' away from the core and all darts remained intact and inside the core. Success.

[Ice Nine]

Two things missing: Integration brackets and a +bow paintjob. I guess a Rush logo too.











I think Ryan will probably put up the results from tomorrow's mod party so I won't edit this post to accomidate.

[Merzlin]

Here's my +bow:







+bow break.


Made by Ryan####, some hot damn work right there. The handle just makes the +bow so much more comfortable. As many of you know, Ryan's selling his last +bow soon, I believe. I'd highly consider bidding/offering on it, these things are works of gold

I lied.







My +bow broke yesterday too. Almost identical to Merz's.

Here's the Writeup/Explanation








Look here for more details.

[Ryan201821]

Since the +bow issue has been such a problem, it's time to modify the design. I have an idea and hopefully it will fix the problem.

Anyways, result from mod party #2.
