Koree and I (read mostly me) built a DoubleRainbow. It only took us 13 hours and 2 meals to do it. The requirements to build one are out of most nerfers hands, as it requires at least two people from different non-white backgrounds.

Along with various other things this past week, I finished two Torandobows. The lighter one is for Ltdanicecream. The darker one is for Samurai of Australia. If you're wondering why one is darker it's because it was left out in the elements until it was rescued (there were spider webs/nests inside of it). Both have full +bow PTs, Delrin plunger rods, Rainbow catches, Pivoting triggers, Aluminum priming handles in the stock handle, and perfect seals. The templates for these were made by me. They require a bit more work than a normal tornadobow PT but definitely worth it. I'm working on a 3rd one for myself with a fun integration. I may do a write up sometime seeing as I already have a ton of pictures of internals.


And here's the integration for my own Tornadobow.

Right, forgot to post this.
One of two brithop-style barrels for Hero and Koree. This picture is from before either was polished, so it's not as shiny as the final products actually are. Still, this is the general idea. I do not intend to sell or make any more, since they're quite time-consuming.


EDIT: This is being dumb. Here is a direct link to the image. Also not working, and I do not know why. It shows up just fine in my photobucket album.

30" including barrel.

In light of the upcoming holidays, I decided to replicate another +bow I made a while ago with single side plates. I like the metallic blue. The plunger length was also reduced, but the spring is precompressed. I would not be surprised if the end of the plunger ends up shattering after a couple dryfires.

I made another extension spring rainbowpup. This time for a commission.


I think this one shoots farther than my first, though I can't figure out why. Here it is with it's older brother.

First off this is about 3 months overdue for Delivery, I am to blame for becoming too busy and pushing it back.

It did turn out very well though

Again, I feel awful for taking so long. Hope he enjoys it!

I guess I never posted this here.
Made it at the start of break. The tank holds about 3 cu. in. of air, and plugs directly into the wye. It's sealed and held in the wye with an O-ring, and the front section of the tank extends all the way to the internal face of the wye, so a bunch of the dead space is removed.

Not selling them yet. My plan is to eventually include a built-in shutoff valve in the hose barb, so when you pull the pin, the air supply is stopped. That makes the tank itself about the simplest possible semi-auto system that doesn't waste air. The current version doesn't have that yet.

[Mehku]

3d-printed pistol made by my brother Klaiviel and originally designed by Landru. It works just like a nitefinder and it's quite powerful to boot. It shoots stock darts, with elite darts being the best.

Today I threw together this clear snap using (mostly) stuff I had laying around. The purpose of this is to bring to the Houston Mini Maker Faire on the 19th to demonstrate how snap catches work.

[quertyman]

First is my pumpsnap 3.0. hits around 120 with my hopper and beige slugs.


Next my plusbuw. pretty normal except has a [k25] and 1 inch reduced length. Also it is shown with my clear breech.


My next homemade will probably be a papbow or a rainbowpump.

My rainbow pistol


With a stained wood handle.

[Zorns Lemma]

Did some QoL improvements:

[koree]

Latex versions of the "double" layout. A double rainbow and a double snap.

[roboman]

Three small plunger heads with a counterbored hole in the front face to accept a 6-32 pan head screw with an o-ring underneath to seal that hole. Each weighs only 8g, and the hole on the other side is sized to accept 3/8" square rod (.53" diameter, same as the diagonal distance on the square).

[KaneTheMediocre]

BullPAC 2 and 3 (3 has the red 3d printed handle)



Next level inverted candied curried bacon wrap. The bacon's on the outside, so your tongue touches it's tasty goodness before it hits the bread in the middle.





Low angle 3d printed wye. Required a lot of TLC to get cleaned up and sealing well, but it shoots rubber domes and AMIORS (so far) while pointing straight-ish.

[Defender 7]

Made a "Double" Snap

[Zorns Lemma]

Fixed the torque problems on my lever trigger

[DartSlinger]

This is a PumpSNAP 2.0 that I made. This is my first homemade and I learned a ton from this build. It features a mechanically fastened grip and pump handle. It has a slotted plunger rod, though, so would this be a 2.5?!

The Gator(ade tank)
Nothing special, just a ball valve air gun. I used a small Gatorade bottle as my tank. I used an In-Line Ball Valve because it is much easier and smoother to open and close.

^Prepare to get shrapneled.

Finished this a few weeks ago.
A RainbowPacbow -the bow



8 inches of draw, [k25]. Supah RoF.

[Pointman9]

I made three new SNAPbows, with the one on the left sporting my new tagger hopper. Holds 10 darts, puts them out to 70 feet minimum, with no jams so far. The Retaliator is there for size reference.
