Rogues Hopper:


Close-up on the barrel:

If you cant see, the petg was reamed out with pliers to help dart entry and the pvc was sanded to fit the petg flush.

On top is a 3/4 in ball-valve for easy loading. The colored e-tape is easily removable, but allows for a better grip.

Now for something of mine-ish:


Snap mk5 made by Darth Freyr with a pistol splat attached on the bottom via zipties. The splat acts as a fore-grip and as a second shot. The splat has a cpvc coupler and hits about 65 feet which is plenty for a back-up shot.

More pics of the snap:

Shotty mini-hamps! I fired the one Kane had in his write up and MAN was it big and awkward! Amazing innovation, all props on that, but it was said best when what said was "it does not allow you to aim.


This is the first incarnation: exact reduction of kane's original. 80's or so, 2-4 shot clip.


Here is a bit more optimized. The reduced size and weight made the stabilizer bar unnecessary but it wouldn't hurt to have one.


Here I utilized some creative plumbing to have the barrel on top thus improving the accuracy from 'dog balls' to nearly 'butt'. Whatever, I'll spray and pray ANY day!

A collection of work today.

I refurbished snakes +bow





1 tornadobow



2 tornadobow

Woo, hope Coop likes it. I hand made the red UHMW spacers, and used the big-ass grommet I found at Fastenal. It's thick, but DAMN if they don't seal really well.

Here is my pump action plusbow. Made it using Split's templates and his guidance. Used a nylon plunger because it was more convenient. Shoots ropes brah.

I have seen Ryan's pumpbow, but what happened to this?

I designed and built a modded Plusbow, while keeping the same overall function.

Improvements:
-Lower height
-Auto aligning priming handle
-Curved grip
-Shortened plunger tube
-Solid, reinforced side plates
-Grommet Plunger head
-[k25] at full compression. It is just as powerful as a [k26] at full compression
-Two catch notches makes priming smoother.





I lowered the top stock rod which makes the gun look much better IMO. It is also less bulky.





The priming handle wraps around the stock rods more so it can't get misaligned.

Everything else is self explanatory.

I like using this much better than a normal Plusbow.

SUPA' BOW.

[Whisper101]

Yet another iteration of the pump action +Bow:











I had a spare NF handle with the trigger and catch still usable. I decided that I wanted to do something new with it. It's plunger tube is made of 12" of butyrate (YES, IT WORKS!!!), and the portion of PVC is 1.5" ID I beleive.
The arms are PC and they have shown no signs of bending under the pressure so i think they should work. the priming mechanism is basically what Split came up with, it's made of 1/4" PC. The plunger rod is 3/8" pvc square bar. it is holding up nicely.

PM with questions/comments.

Pump action SNAP. I call it the PA-SNAP.

Ranges= Really really far



Primed


Awsome wooden handle thats extremely comfortable.

My bow.



Pretty similar to Kane's Aabow, except for the money maker, or the plunger head. I used a skirt seal, the same one used on the Plusbow plunger tube (1.375" ID). 1 1/4" PVC happens to be 1.362", or the stuff that I got is. I apologize I don't have pictures for this, but it was done a while ago. The plunger rod is 1/2" hollow aluminum tube. To secure the skirt, I lathed down a piece of wood to fit over the aluminum tube and also fit inside the skirt. FYI, the ID of the skirt is .875". The front of the piece was also flared out to prevent the skirt from falling off the plunger rod while priming. To prevent it from moving backward while firing, I just filled the void between the plunger rod and the back of the skirt seal with duct tape. I may eventually replace this part with something better, but it's working fine for now.

Add a little silicone grease, and you have a perfect seal.

Now some of you are probably thinking that funnel is going to get in the way of the bow arms, and string. It actually doesn't. I cocked my hopper clip enough to the right so it doesn't interfere. But then, my hopper clip, with all the weight, should fall over while I'm jostling around. Tightening rings is how you fix that.



I took a pair of brass cutters, and slightly raised the OD of the PVC. It creates a nice tight fit between the wye, and whatever you're plugging it into. I recommend doing this to every piece of your hopper clip assemblage. It's A LOT better than gluing stuff together and/or to your gun.

This is why:



Fires 1-4 darts based on how fast/hard you push.

Captain Slug sent me a 2-11, it came today. I am so happy with it I took off the stock. X-D

Now it's like a massive deagle equivalent for homemade nerf blasters. Not shown: My 10~ round chopper.

It's very crisp and powerful, but the way it pulls back I had to get used to. Either way, I think it's my new primary. (Sorry Zax )

Lol wut?



Something I threw together today with some spare parts. It's a dual-piston HAMP that uses 1.25" PVC instead of 2" and rubber washer plunger heads. Basically, you grab onto the handle, strap the rest of your arm in (the whole thing goes underneath your arm), and pump like a mother fucker.

My theory was that with the same internal volume, a much better seal, and two smaller diameter pistons instead of one large one, you could put out the same amount of air but at much higher pressures. It seems to be doing just that, and actually works pretty well with a 3' length of CPVC. Expect a much better build/overall design soon.

[louiec3]

My first bow. You really need Ryan style optimal barrels on these. Unless of course you shoot arrows!

The bow arms are made from sch40 uv resistant pvc. I found it at farm and fleet.



Litersize wanted a bow.



Now for the grand finale: the trigger for my next homemade. Don't bother asking what it is.

[Carbon]

Proof-of-concept of the SNAP-8.


And with the priming handle off:


It's a shrunk-down version of what will be my take on the pumpSNAP: solid plunger rod, no stock, catchface at the end of the plunger rod. I built it out of spare parts and leftovers, so it ended up being...diminuative. Performance is surprising: it gets about 40-50 feet, with a plunger stroke of about 1.5 inches one inch.

Snap pistol for cheap. The whole thing cost about fifteen dollars. Spring is from a confetti launcher. Plunger size is about that of the BBB. Weird knob on the barrel is for ease of removal.


Needs a paintjob. And the handle gets sticky on hot days.

HAMP. Currently retired just because it's big.

[SonReeceSonJensen]

A contract job for a pal of mine’s kids: two mini-HAMP’s with 12” hoppers. Price: 6 Bud Lights and 2 hours of man-time in the garage!


I made the end couplers by cutting a ½” PVC coup with a male screw end off and…well…screwing it into a hole in the 2” end cap


The diameter of a hole made by the dremel piece in the background is the EXACT size for the screw part, just add a little goop to seal the small gaps and you’re set!

I have discovered the ways of the grz. Have I succeeded in my first mission master?

[Fome]

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A HAMP AND A HAMP AND A HAMP HAVE A CH... nah just playin'. I wanted to get rid of all my spare PVC parts (from leftover projects that didn't quite work out) so I made these two retarded monsters. The one on the left is a portable triple piston HAMP that's pretty fuckin' sweet if I do say so myself. It's for big boys though (sorry Zorn) because you need some strength to pull it back hard enough to build pressure.

The second is just some pipe I threw onto another SNAP I had laying around to make it look all futuristic and shit. The HAMP is getting some sort of ergonomics (handle) and then I'm going to paint em both!
