I should have had this up a week ago, but whatever. I made it three days late for Apocalypses. Tis a shame, because I would have used it there. Ranges are dependent on bow/string tension.



Nothing crazy special, basically just an AaBow. The only section that can't be easily disassembled is the front bushing on the plunger tube. And that's because it needed to be glued for the seal. The bow arms are one piece 3/4" CPVC, and the 1" PVC is one piece as well. E-tape and screws hold them together.

Another version of the DCIT. I wanted to come up with a trigger system that would be easy for anyone to make. This one uses a hinge and a modified L bracket. Catches exceptionally well. If it works well on the field I'll do a writeup.



Close up of the trigger.

Three new RBPs. All war tested at Mayhem. They are nearly identical. The first uses a [k26], the back ones use a K45. They all have ~7.25"-7.5" of draw. New style, lightweight plunger rods. Dry-Fire-able. All are awesome.

My version of (youtube) Drac's mod. The slot in the pvc allows you to avoid disks flipping over on longer clips, and the polycarb piece is really nice.







I scrapped 2 of the hornet attachment parts off 2 Titan shells for the clip attachment part. It works well. The small PVC is like 1" thinwall and the large PVC is 1.5" PVC.

EDIT: I'm putting this in homemades because the item in question is the clip, which is homemade. The proton itself is stock.

My Pump SNAP just wasn't getting the desired effect of a primary (mostly due to spring troubles). So I decided to do the opposite of what my brother did with his, and convert it into a PAC Snap. Now, without having to worry about spring compression, I have a good, usable, primary. The only thing that I need now is some thin-wall pvc for the grip (I'm borrowing some on my bro's).

Wooden Clothespin Trigger (just because I like wood)

Adjustable tension

Comfy as hell curved stock

Snap Carbine (re-make):
I don't really know why I felt like making another Snap Carbine, but I was sure that it could be better than my first one. I will probably try to sell this one (I already have a Snap Bow & PAC Snap). But I just had to prove to myself that I didn't completely suck at making these.
Ranges: Still only about 90ft (singled) - really depends on the dart, some go up to 120ft.
The air seal is much better in this one, but it has to stay constantly lubed, or it will suck. (It uses a skirt seal)

Still rockin' the Raider stock...

Primed, almost full compression on the k18...

Added Snap Bow Mk5 style foregrip (super comfy)

What up Nerfhaven! First post here, and I'll show off some of my Homemades.

Pumpsnap 3.0 I recently painted it, I will get some updated pictures soon.

This picture is sloppy. I probably should retake it, and edit it in. I'll work on it.

PumpSnap I made a while ago for modtheblognerf (Nerfrevolution member)

My PAC, as of now has been converted to a AAbow, because my pumpsnap is far better than this.

Here's a group picture of the 5 PAC's the night before Foam in the Fort 3. Again, not very good.

My Snap Carbine. It's my first homemade and I am really liking it. It rocks a skirt seal, [k26], and comfy raider priming handle. Everything is mechanically fastened with the exception of the front bushing. Hits 100+ ft.

Fresh Manta+, this one is green with white zip ties. I'm expanding the palette of aesthetic options for Manta+s, stay tuned for an update in my sales thread.

Since he was nice enough to put the shield up, I figure I'll show off what it looks like installed on a blaster.





SnapManta. Based off of one of the Rocket Launcher submissions, it uses 2 Snap chambers to feed into a single 19" barrel. As expected, double-fires are quite common, and the range is frankly a little scary.



Here's the underside showing off the comfy padded handguard of the shield and the double trigger set up. I plan on making a cleaner version (and swapping the shield out) here shortly, but for the moment, I am very proud of this thing.

A group pic of Coop's homemades with a few of mine (minus the Recon). I'll be adding a Crossbow to this soon, as will he.



Re-strung my Bowpup with some supa-leet green cable. Secured some wobble from the tee and stock with screws, and added some tape. Because colored e-tape is legit.

[Phoenix66]

Finished painting my 3.0 Pumpsnap. It turned out really nice.

Final version of the MantaSnap...



I originally built this for the Parabolic Toys Rocket Launcher contest.



Full 7 inches of draw.



Ropes, it shoots.

^This makes me happy.




^This makes me happier. The PacSnap 2.0, otherwise known as the #YOLOBOW, arguably best way to make a PacSnap.

I don't wanna flood this thread on my first day, but there shall be more to come.

Here's a prototype of the blaster I'm currently working on.



The idea is to shorten the blaster by putting the spring, trigger, priming mechanism in one tube, and then have the actual plunger tube above it. It works pretty well and is about 8 inches shorter with the same barrel lenght as my RBP. However this prototype only has about 4 inches of draw.

The next version will have a few improvements. Side plates for additional structural integrity and ease of Assembly, an adjustable stock, and of course, additional draw (going for 6 inches.). I also plan on using a rainbow catch.

HEC 2c, Writeup in the works. This is a moderate redesign of an earlier model which was a re-purposed failure (trigger linkages are dumb). This one works perfectly, shoots as far as everything else, has 6.5" of draw with a [k25], total length is 33" and it probably weighs close to 10 pounds. At first the handle being so far back was kinda weird but now I'm comfortable with it, this is still an improvement over the other one.



The original HEC 2(a) is in the middle, I initially wanted a standard handle positioning.

Really nice, loving these things.

My modsfornerf PumpSnap 3.0 with my new paintjob:

[Phoenix66]

New, unpainted PumpSnap. It works really well, except for me cutting the slots too long. Oh well, guess it doesn't matter anyways.
You know you want one....
