This has been my primary since my second war.

Functions very smoothly, priming system is bitchin, and it's super melt-in-your-hands comfy.

Slightly more recent project.

Rainbow in an Xploderz shell. This shit is over 4 feet long!
The shell sucks of course, but all the fabricated components are fantastic.
Built this one for outright power, using the plusbow method. (There's a reason Plusbows are known for being more powerful than any other 1 3/8" PT [k26] powered homemades. Can you figure it out?)

Group shot! Current homemade primaries.

On the bottom is my wicked awesome shotgun HAMP, 5-7 darts per shot, crazy draw=crazy range. Ask a Minnesotan how this does in DTC.

Look Hero, I actually made a WORKING homemade! If you didn't know, this is a Snapbow Mk5. It has 7" of draw and a 90% seal. I made it in 4 hours with only one potty break and lots of music. I really enjoyed making it and can't wait to use it too! It's not 100% done. I will Goop the front coupler, upgrade the CPT, and maybe give it a pj. Here it is:


This is also a Snap pistol. Works OK. I really just made it to make sure I could make the Snapbow.

This is my first homemade gun. It's a blow gun that loads via a clip (since placing bullets in by hand is so overrated). Actually pretty easy to do. Thinking about making a CPVC/PVC one and doing a write up on it later (mine is made entirely of spare parts, that's why). It can also be loaded manually similar to a bolt action.


These are the parts. The barrel is a 2ft. copper pipe with a plastic casing I spray painted black. The Other part consists of the handle and dart loading chamber.


The clip slides onto the chamber and fits pretty tight. The darts enter through the hole I cut. When the barrel is pulled forward, the clip pushes one dart into the chamber. When the barrel is slid back, the dart pushed into the chamber is pushed into the barrel and loaded. It's very silent, gets 50-70 ft. range, and quite accurate.

Did a bit of work on my pumpbow. Sports a 2ft chopper now.


Revshot for Jilliop

[dapperrogue]

L-Shot Rev 1 (left) and L-Shot Prototype (right). Bolt-action rifles that accept N-Strike mags, operating like a Longshot.

What do you get when you cross a Walther Nighthawk CO2 pistol with a Double Eagle BB gun and a CB Antenna?
You get the Shinobi CO2-1.

I have managed to get back in a field to test the flat range and i am pleased to say that i got an average distance of 99.2', my max distance was 101' and my min distance was 98', i didnt mod the blaster any further i just modded stock darts which has made a difference of 20' and can withstand the power of a CO2 blaster, i am currently writing up a pdf for the darts which will soon be available upon request.



This is a CO2 powered single shot Nerf Blaster, it has a range of 99.2' flat, it features a 3-9x40 Telescopic sight and a red-dot laser sight.
Tech Specs:-
CO2 Capacity:12g (95 Shots)
Ammo: Red Arrow Spitfire (High Performance Nerf Darts)
Range: 99.2' Flat, >180' 30deg Elevation
Main Body: Walther Nighthawk CO2 Pistol
Barrel & Stock: Silver Rod CB Antenna and Double Eagle Bits.

This blaster would never be used in a Nerf War, it is a concept model for demonstration purposes only.

Here is a description video of my version of Boltsnipers Fast Action Rifle. Two weeks of work really paid off

Built a HEC3 yesterday. It hits really hard. Uses half a [k26], and a rubber washer+U-cup combo for a perfect seal. The trigger took a little work but it's catching 100% of the time now. However The prime feels heavier than the full length of my pumpbow's prime. Uses a 3/4" stock instead of a 1/2" stock for comfort and some +bow foam foam ghetto'd up to the back of it.



Into the PT

A traditional plusbow. It was my first polycarbonate homemade and I think it turned out pretty nice. Wooden Handle, 100% seal, 1/4" side plate.




Also, it has full compression.

[Eraser475]

I was gonna make Darthmaker/Kane's "Wyeless Wye", But my local store ran out of PVC 45's. So I Improvised:



It is very sturdy for being just gooped together.

[TheSilentRebel]

Made a couple of Pacbows:



One with a +bow catch, one with a rainbow catch. They both perform the same, but the Rainbow one was much easier to build. The one with blue bow arms is going to Keo, The other is mine. Each have 7.5 inches of draw.

Also made a Tornadobow X/2 a while ago:



DCNF 3 participants know how much I like my +bow...



Added a Thumbhole stock to this bad boy.

[Ice Nine]

I was going to try and make a real homemade but then I got bored, and ordered several different (and more importantly, wrong) sizes of surgical tubing.

Tubes in tubes in tubes, man!



(This was when I was looking for a zip-tie to hold the tubing. I could not find one because this place is a disaster. However, drilling holes worked!)





Even with a disaster of a plunger head (fuck you Kane), three inches of draw (fuck you Ice9), and other weird, assorted problems, it shoots out of a hopper okay.

The end goal is to make a real gun that drops all the spring bullshit and compression distance out to make things more wieldy.



Gonna call it the TOUCH MY DANGUS blaster. Everyone else has to call it that, too.

MORE IMPORTANTLY IT'S THE FIRST ONE LIKE THIS, EDWARDS.

Mod party video!

This is a R2L I commissioned SlightlySane to make me. I gave it some upgrades. I made it pump-action and gave it my favorite pj, Orange, Black, and White. Ranges are 95-100 and can easily compete with a PumpSnap as RoF goes. I really enjoy it and will be my main primary at PNW>U. SlightlySane is a great commissioner and the R2L was super clean. Here she is:

Gun:


Slotted Plunger Rod:


Fully compressed k18 gives it great range and a light draw weight:

My first homemade springer was a success! A standard SNAPbow Mk. 5:

[Nurf Doctor]

Meh EPVAT Chimaera:

Super comfy and easy to pump. Both the EPVAT and pump are held on with copious amounts of hotglue, with zipties for the pump as well. As for ranges, gets over 250' with a 2' CPVC barrel and double bb stefans, and makes single bb hotglue dome stefans spin out at 70' with the same barrel. With a 7-shot absolver, gets around 70' with a 8'-10' spread. With my long 3-shot absolver, gets 100' with 5'-7' of spread. With my 19-shot absolver, gets 50'-60' with about 15' of spread.

I built a Tornadobow.


Yes, there's a reason for not having the trans-purple piece. And here it is:


Sexy, no?

And here it is with a 9-dart hopper.

[andtheherois]

It's like the midwest up in this bitch.




Built for Kevintsk of SG. It's an F5.

[alugilaC]

Finished up my Pumpbow today:




I took bits of the PAPbow by Lt. Stefan and Ryan's Pumpbow that I liked best.





Mad props to Lt. Stefan for the catch and supa' comfy handle.
Uses 1 piece side plates and aluminum bar/UHMW priming system.


shoots a million feet.

*edit to avoid double-post*

Re-visited some old +bow related projects:



Split's +pistol design I made quite a while ago



Made a new comfy handle for my +bow

[hamoidar]

Here is my SGN-R3L, originaly built by Sgnerf. It has the exact spring he used. And gets about 100-120ft flat.



Custom handle.



Multiple catch points.

[Xellah]

Some recent work:



PumpSNAP with Raider furniture and 18 inch ported CPVC barrel.



Hits full compression with a full [k26], 7 inches of draw.



Here's the SNAPbow:



Wood thumb-hole stock and painted.



And finally an AaBow:





For those mainstream Nerfers that are wondering about the ball valve, it's supa-low resistance, Swiss-made. You've probably never heard of them.

Second homemade springer, another SNAPbow MK.5.

+bow for ACNerfshop.




My new Pumpbow,
Before:


After:


Too many thumb holes, so I'm gonna try something different.

[venom213]

I made some major progress on my homemade Buzz Bee Big Blast trigger tonight. This is the third version of it that I've built. It improves significantly on the previous designs in these areas: Ease of construction, amount of material required for construction, limiting the variety of tools/materials needed, faster construction, less shell modification required, and lower cost. I have tested this trigger a fair amount, and it functions fantastically.

EDIT: These are now officially for sale, check my sales thread. They cost $9 each.

[Xellah]

Recent posts about the Defender prompted me to finally modify my own. I prefer the grip and overall heft of this blaster over the Nite-Finder, and the spacious shell houses more of the plunger tube than a NF.



The cut out panels were inspired by Chops. I saw his a long time ago and thought they looked sweet so I tried it out. They could use some more sanding and smoothing.



Primed. 6 inches of draw with a 1" ID plunger tube. It does indeed shoot ropes.
