I converted my PumpSnap to a Sancho Panza, but instead of using a traditional priming grip I used a 1/2 PVC tee. I really like the design and will probably make another from scratch. Huge thanks to Daniel Beaver for the original design.

Defender7's PumpSnap 3.0

[Siriuslyharry]

It's about time I post the rest of my homemade blasters...

This is my #YOLO SnapBow, which is just a pullback version of the #YOLOBow, which I've posted before. Supah fugly.


I soon realized that bow power was pretty silly, so I converted the #YOLO SnapBow into this:

I call it The Slytherin SnapBow. It is about 1/2" longer than it should be, since I was using bow power originally and didn't bother to measure, yet the spring fit fine and the trigger was aligned perfectly.
The other side:


Moving on, this is my Snap Rifle, looking Effeminate as fuck:

I wanted it to look like a +bow from hell, and that it does. Thanks to Phoenix66 for the original idea. It has all the same specs as a standard Snap Bow MK5, except I went overboard on the cosmetics, adding 1/8" polycarb sideplates to either side, smoothing the gaps between the body and plates with putty and bondo, attaching a stained wood foregrip and custom stock and painting the entire thing in Krylon "Textured Shimmer" (Oh, and not to mention the badass car decal )

Lastly, my first PumpSnap, chilling in some fall foliage:

I made this mainly to test my PumSnap skills before making a really nice one, and also because I needed a pump action blaster for NENO and didn't have much cash.
The method of priming is similar to that of the RainbowPump Rev.1 (note the 2" PVC face diddle guard) in that the pump slide pushes back a #10 screw running through the back of the plunger rod. (The screw did start to bend; should've used steel.) I don't particularly recommend this method, but it is a valid option if you want to be lazy and not measure things properly. I will definitely be making a 3.0 or RainbowPump 3.0 (?) in the future to replace this.
Another view:

I love the wood parts, which have been tediously sanded and filed, then touched by my new belt sander, and I love the polycarb trigger A la NoM.

All of these will be featured in my commission thread as examples, and I can replicate any of these blaster. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for looking.

So I set out to build a bullpup pumpbow. That failed miserably. However, Most of the parts were still usable for a regular pumpbow. So I repurposed what I had,Remade what needed to be made, and filled in some holes. This is the end result:





I call her the Painbow for a few reasons, but the point is that it works very well. The stock is anchored on via 4 quick release pins, two of which are in the handle, and the other two grafted into the delrin stock rods. The back plate and trigger are made of Black UHMW and the stock is shaped foam (which is very comfy). The Stock itself is very comfy and probably the most rigid one I've ever built. It's also high enough so that I can rest my cheek on it. The PJ was originally for another blaster that I was building but decided to use it for this one anyway. The aluminum was polished with fine grit sandpaper and then steel wool, so it reflects some light and has a bit of a mirror effect, but it's still blurry. She'll make her debut at NJW11.

Also, Don't you wish your pumpsnap was a freak like me?~

Made a clamp-handle on my 3d printer. Having just got it working this past weekend, it still needs a lot of fine tuning which you can see if you look closely at the above pictures. Lots of things didn't fit together quite right, but it was all designed with super loose tolerances so it all comes together OK. The mock plunger tube is just a scrap.
The scotch-taped on block in the front of the handle is actually a housing for the catch spring which wasn't included in the original design. I have a bad habit of not planning for catch-springs. The catch itself is the same design as my second bullPAC, and mates with SNAPoid catchfaces.

This design was actually created to be CNC cut from 1/2" plastic sheet, so it's actually quite a wasteful thing to make entirely with a 3d printer. However, it was ready to go and I needed some files to learn reprap-fu.

Just needs a handle and it'll be done.
Thanks again to Daniel Beaver for making the original.

RBPistol #10 For OldGuy, to be delivered this Saturday.

Had a mod party with Gears, made the tacticoolest blaster ever.



7" draw rainbow with paintball gun grip. Picatinny rail with scope rings to hold an RSCB. Just needs a stock, which will also be incredibly tacticool.

[roboman]

Figured I might as well post some of my recent stuff.

Three plunger heads and 2 2K tanks for NerfOMania. The plunger heads allow skirt seals to snap on and seal perfectly without any hardware. They're also solid, so chances are, something else will break long before they do. If anyone is so inclined to purchase one, they're $10 each + shipping.

[andtheherois]

Built a P90 shaped +bow as a contract for a guy in Australia. The trigger slides to release the catch then returns to it's place. It's got 5.5" of draw so it works well. The handle rides between delrin stock rods and the slot on the bottom. The stock is also slightly curved which actually makes it comfy.

[snakerbot]

By the way, Dremel multimax's are awesome for making wooden handles feel really great.

[bhajj94]

Matching PumpSnap and SnapPistol. Both with orange and black duct tape on them. The pump snap has a maverick slide as its foregrip, almost 7 inches of draw, and packs a punch. The slots are a little messy because I got careless for some reason. The snap pistol gets 3 inches of draw, and shoots just under 80ft.

Spoiler! And a swanky new priming rod.

[Nerfomania]

Recently got a somewhat decrepit Slug breech from Blue.

Before (after some cosmetic sanding and filing to bring it back into original spec.):



After:



Features:
-12 inches of 17/32 brass- polished up before it was installed
-Nylon bushing for a grip
-Clear PVC sheath- It fit into the breech like a GLOVE, and seals wonderfully with a very low coefficient of friction.

I am very happy with it as you can likely tell. And here is the best part! Its mine! (Finally something I get to keep to myself....)

[makeitgo]

Proof of concept.Self Contained Coupler Rainbow Catch and Trigger (SCCRCaT) in 1.25" coupler(s). Intended to be modular so any stock and/or plunger tube can be used with appropriate fittings.Also contains a steel washer as the spring rest....I know it's black. Black ABS is the only 1.25" piping available in my area. The other half of my handle is missing because I ran out of Ikea cutting board.

[The Snake]

After Making my first snap I got to thinking, what could I do to improve it? So I set out to improve it. Here is my SnapBow Snake (name pending).

Bare Bones of the Gun.


With Stock and 6 dart Hopper.

And yes, that is gold duct tape.

[andtheherois]

Thanks to Koree for the design and Handle of the "AR" Double Rainbow. Lovingly named "DR-AR" and "DR-FS". We may have a write up for you guys in the near future.










Edit to avoid double post:

I found some sweet snakeskin duct tape while browsing through target. I figured it'd be perfect for this blaster. Also I added sideplates to the stock to make it look cooler/stiffen up the stock.

[ACnerfshop]

The trigger is still provisional and I will be adding a handle at some point, but it works!
