Call Kenny Loggins... 'cuz you're in the Danger Zone.

I built a SuperPAC the night before Cataclysm. Full unibody, seven inches of draw, bow arms mounted all the way forward for maximum mechanical advantage. Shoots laser beams - supa range, supa accuracy, supa rate of fire, supa unfair. Pictured below is our resident fashionista IceNine demolishing fools. I left this behind with Kane and Ryan, since I don't think the TSA would appreciate it.



If you hate this gun, you hate America.
You pinko commie fuck.

I present to you the first known TornadoBow with a Rainbow Catch:


Proudly owned by Funky Mutha Facko

[Bchamp22795]

RainbowPump for a guy in Singapore. Features Rev. 2 Priming, an omnidirectional catch, 3/8" Polycarbonate, 7" of draw, 11" of a K45 spring, Vertical Pump Grip, a super seal, and dry-fire-able via 4 rubber grommets to absorb maximum impact.,









Sorry for the bad photos, lighting wasn't ideal.
Also, don't use wooden handles, or triggers in the rain...the wetness softens the wood and makes it easy to break. This is my third set because I was attempting to range test outside.

I just finished a fresh homemade Manta Ray shell (I'm calling it the Manta+ for the time being) for Zinv. It's in three sections for efficient shipping/storage. I adjusted the design slightly for this second one and majorly streamlined the construction process. Also pictured is a healthy assortment of hardware for Zinv to use when he mounts it on whatever blaster(s) he chooses.

If you want one as well, I've tentatively set the price at $50 shipped (to USA buyers, additional shipping charges will be added for international buyers) for a Manta+ shield, some nuts and bolts, and plenty of spare zip ties. More or less what is pictured below, with a few adjustments. Send me an email at venomm213@gmail.com if you're interested.





Artsy.



Super zip ties. If I recall correctly, I got this whole tube for about $10 at Menards.

I managed to finish a fixer-uper I've had for a few months (Thanks Lt.Dan). I bought this Pumpbow for the sake of time, and because it had an aluminum priming bridge I wanted for my own pumpbow. It was honestly in a terrible condition. I replaced the front most side plates, catch, handle, back stock plate, plunger rod, and plunger tube. Now it's a +bow. The side plates have been painted with a couple of coats of silver so that they still have a slight transparency and plastidipped the handle.


The integrated titan was made pretty much specifically for the Draconis missiles, though I may need to redo the templates and lower it some depending on their size. Still needs a trigger and new PJ.

Here's some more pictures of the SuperPAC (a bunch of people had questions about it). I'm not going to post a writeup - just take a look at Carbon's SNAP 7.5 if you need guidance.




The bow arms and hopper are offset by 45 degrees, in order to give line-of-sight clearance, and also to give the string more clearance from your left hand



A slot is cut out of the PVC for the hopper, and I used packing tape and goop to seal the coupler. No pretty craftsmanship here.



The front T was a donor from one of Kane's AAbows. The tip of the barrel is flush with the hole.



Ghetto plunger rod. Nylon, skirt seal, and a epoxy ramp with washer catch. I planned to make a rainbow catch for this blaster, but we didn't have parts for it in the shop the night before, so I switched it to a SNAP style catch.



Nothing special here. Cheerios had to fix the trigger - it was originally a nylon l bracket, but it snapped off during the war.



Super special stock. This hooks under your armpit, providing much needed leverage. The gun is basically unusable without this.

[Pointman9]

Bolt action SNAP. Only shoots 90-115 cause I screwed up the front bushing seal.


Showing the fully compressed [k26] at the end of the priming stroke.

Mechanically fastened everything, for you, Diamondback. Or for making sure the trigger doesn't fall in the Texas heat. This is the original shortened pumpSNAP, updated to fix some breaking issues it had.

The catch is screwed on.


The handle is attached with the use of a really dremeled 1 1/4" to 3/4" reducing tee. The trigger is guided by a nylon spacer running through the tee as well.


Using this tee necessitated making the priming shroud out of 2" pvc so it could fit over. There are spacers on the front and back of the 2" pvc to guide it.


And an overall shot.


There's also a check valve in the plunger head now, but I forgot to take a picture of that while I had it open.

Rainfire for shoopy

[BOSS9]

My take on Beaver's latest, finished it a few days ago. Go big or go home, right? 9" draw because I fucking can, and the whole thing is 4' 7" long, 5' wide. Average 10 year old boy height.



Oh yeah, it's a rainbow. Used a new style of plunger rod that uses less than a foot of nylon. I'll take pics at request.





Size comparisons. That's a full-sized 8" draw AAbow. I used to think it was big.



So how unwieldy is it? The center of mass is right at the front of the priming grip at rest. I need to work out more to be able to use this more than half a round at SPANO.

All it needs is some pink zebra-striped duct tape.

RBPistol Contract #3 Complete.

Sporting a 6 inch 17/32nds brass breech. Shoots 80' or a tad more.

[andtheherois]

I call it the +Five (Bullpup Buzz Be Big Blast). It made it's debut today at NJW7 and passed the field test with flying colors. I'm putting this here because other than the tank and pump, it's homemade, and could probably be made using a PVAT with some adjustments to the templates. I'll be making a write up sometime soon. Numa-T is going to be making official templates, as the ones I made used graph paper, a ruler, and a approximated pencil markings.

The Idea was Taerkitty's, I just made it a little prettier, so huge thanks to him for the original design.

[Nerfomania]

Wait........THERE ARE MORE OF THEM?!?




Recent batch of RBPistols number 3-7. :3

Might make another batch soon, lemme know if you are interested.

[Funky Mutha Facko]

The Painter's bow



4ft 3/4in cpvc arms into a 1/2in to 3/4in pvc tee that has bored out 3/4in pvc in the outputs. 9in of draw, 12in barrel, 7 dart hopper, adjustable ranges from poop to over 100ft.


Pictured with 3in pvc arms tied up to 3ft of rubber tubing. Much more compact, much tougher draw, much more scary. I definitely recommend trying out rubber tubing if you haven't yet.

[Nerfomania]

Finished up my personal +bow today.....



Alternate view of the stock that has been stained and sealed with a glossy clear.

[Daniel Beaver]

"Bullpac" is taken, so I call this the Bowpup. Basically a SanchoPanza powered by rear-mounted bow arms. It amuses me.
It is extremely powerful - I clocked it at 250fps on my chrono with a foot-long hopper.

FIRING VIDEO




Has 6" of draw, 20" bow arms, and is 23" long.




The bow arms are off-set, so they don't smack you in the face. This doesn't have a proper stock right now, but for the next one I'm going to use a PVC cross instead of a tee, and attach a standard PVC stock.

[koree]

Prototype of an updated DCIT. (Link to the original in my sig.)

[Nate45]

Made a SnapBow. I stained the stock and handle with Minwax wood finish.

[Gears]

Nerf like it's forever ago!

[andtheherois]

I really like side plates. Sure tubes are just as efficient but I think side plates look a lot cooler.

[Shoopy]

I made a Rainbow with a really nice thumb hole and stock butt. Orange PJ that fades into the color of the wood. Two catch notches: one at 3/4 compression and the other at full. It's pretty basic but nice. I finished it up two days ago but I'm just now getting it on the fourms. I kinda don't mind pull back over pump-action now.



Backwards $ shot (to switch it up a little).

[BOSS9]

SwagMaster Revision One

(SupaPAC)



It grew to 5' long. Shoots too far.

Most importantly, pink zebra-stripes.
