A +bow I made for a member at the Revolution.




A day late and a dollar short but I also cushioned the plunger head in an effort to silence and increase durability.
Just like Cheesypiza001

My Baby...


Details in an earlier post...only now, she's back up to speed and flinging foam like crazy. Replaced the rubber washer, re-teflon taped the bushing, and re-did the bushing setups with CPVC reducers, to use 1/2" cpvc. In order to do this, you just take some PVC, wrap it in etape until snug in the 3/4" to 1/2" CPVC reducer, zap a gap it in, and then cut the pvc leaving 3/4" exposed. Tap it into the coupler with a mallet, and you're good to go. Proved itself very well here. Oh, and by the way, that name tag's from apoc...decided to leave it on there..."Hello my name is Diamondback"...

What I've been working on for the past few months.





Uses +bow spring and gets ranges 90-100'.

Latest variation of the LpL design, in which I have added an extra support in the front, and changed the polycarbonate plunger rod out for a stronger 3/8" square nylon rod. Definitely stronger, you don't feel like it might break when you prime it. There doesn't appear to be much, if any, performance hit from the extra mass. Also, any of you guys who build one of these? DO NOT predrill the hole at the front of the plunger. Wait until you have everything else built, and then drill through the whole thing at once. Also, there is no reason to use 6.5" of tubing. You can save material by just using 6". I've found that with 6.5", the spring will shorten slightly over time, and you won't get full extension. Plus, the longer plunger rod has more mass, and doesn't accelerate as quickly.

Look out mid-west nerfers. This LpL is coming to get you.

[Kid Flash]

I really like the colors on that LpL...

[nerfnrg]

A breech I made just about 4 hours ago. Purely made with a hacksaw, sandpaper, a drill, and lots of elbow grease.



Not the cleanest but good enough for me. All I have to do now is get some more brass and I'm good to go.

Here is my L+L

[cheesypiza001]

I just attached an airsoft grip to my airsoft rail on my +Bow and it is now so much more comfortable. It actually feels as though it melts in your hands.

[Lucian]

How many more airsoft accessories do you plan to add to you +Bow from my collection of airsoft parts? Bi-pod? Laser? Sling mount? Why not a M-203 while you are at it?

None of the above. I only attach airsoft parts that increase the comfort of the blaster. So far, I have only attached two foregrips of different styles. Stuff like lasers, bipods, and Grenade Launchers, is a bit ridiculous on a +Bow.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'm putting it here.

It's a shitty picture, but it gets the point across. PAS with +Bow internals, gets respectable ranges. Writeup and more info to come when I get a better camera.

[rork]

My SNAPbow. Oak Carbon grip, oak dowel for the stock, 16" cpvc barrels. Shoots slug darts past the end of my 100' tape measure every time.

[diamondbacknf1626]

^Great stuff man, now take a pic of mine and put it up^

^Also great stuff^. Finished this up like last week sometime at a mod party...'tis beautiful...shoots real well too. Clip holds five darts. It's hitting around 100. Caping foam on the front and back of the grip. It's now loads more comfortable.

You know what goes great with SNAPs? More SNAPs.


I made this for Diamondback. Pretty much a higher-quality retread of his other one.


Mine.

[diamondbacknf1626]

For posterity...


The SNAP that kicked it all off...never to be forgotten, never to be sold...will still come with me to every war. Sadly, every gun shows its age eventually...and my baby has begun to. Rork, looks amazing man. Can't wait to adorn it with a "Hello my name is Diamondback" sticker, my stock, some orange e-tape, and take it to war.

Oh, and I know I posted this earlier in the thread...but it was fitting with the last post...

Got my +bow fixed last night for Christmastravaganza. Got a little tampon on the new gold side plate, but it's now a +bro of Ryan's. His got gold too.





Borrowing his foregrip until mine comes in the mail.

[Zorns Lemma]

Yo I like BBBs


And I want to make them shoot more than your penis gun

[Draconis]

Looking good, Zorn. I'm working on a version using a brass tube, so I can gain about 3cc of volume over yours.


Latest LpL, updated the design slightly. Again. Has even MORE color!

What happens when you mix me, pvc, petg, sandpaper, files, and a hacksaw

A new one. Covered in colorful e-tape. Has over 7" of plunger travel with the new plunger head. I'm currently using a [k25] spring.

[diamondbacknf1626]

My new SNAP has met a little custom touch from Diamondback.





The beauty you see above was made by Rork. Lemme just say, he's the man. My old SNAP was showing its age a little bit, and while it will always hold a special place in my arsenal, it needed an upgrade. Boy did it get an upgrade. New version is more comfy, far more powerful (I'm breaking 110' consistently with a 16" CPVC speedloader and 3/0 darts), infinitely more badass, and just overall, a huge improvement. Integration can be primed while holding the main gun handle (No need to hold down trigger like you usually do with SNAPs and had to with my old one), and it's hitting around 80' with a 6" speedloader. Handles are absolutely solid and made out of wood, then the backs were lined with foam. and wrapped around with e-tape. As you can see, Diamonds line the spine of the gun, just made by cutting black e-tape. Came out really nice, if I do say so myself...can't wait to use this at some upcoming winter wars. Watch out BCNO crew...

Props again to rork, thanks a lot man.

It's all about teh goldz.



Soon to get resanded with new paint. It's very scratched up.

[cheesypiza001]

L+L made by Draconis. I cut of a bit of the polycarb in the front, Gooped the brushing, and added grip tape. AMAZING STUFF. BUY HIS L+Ls.

I highly suggest Gooping the couplers as it makes a noticeable difference in range.
