Duce, what did you do to that Manta Ray? Two single barrelled at2k's or something? I'm not sure what it is but I want to make it mine. Or at least make mine more like it.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I haven't checked this thread in a while. Yes, I added two single barreled at2ks into the case with and it fit really well with only minor cutting. I added crayola barrels to the existing ones and they work really well. I plan on completely souping it up once school gets out with new springs, more springs, better barrels and making each barrel shoot seperately. When I finish, I will make a write-up.

Figured as much. Now if I could only figure out how to do the triggers, I would be set.

It's alot harder than it sounds. I've only tried a few things. I first tried a pulley system but found that it wouldn't fit the case very well and would probably be fragile. I then tried to attack .25'' copper tubing to the metal rod out the back of the 2ks' tanks and running the tubing up to the front of the gun, sort of like long extended triggers. This falied for a variety of reasons. The main problem I'm running into is space. With the two added 2ks, there is very little spare room to add things. I have a few more ideas, and I'm sure at least one of them will work. If you happen to find a way to do it, let me know or if you just have some ideas.

Why in the hell did you single barrel your SM1500s?!?!

YOU MURDERER!

Lanard Blast Bazooka with the plastic surrounding the barrel sawed off. It's easier to load .

Robonerfer, I love the SSPB stuck in the handle of the NiteMonster, SS1 style.

Looks god achen. I'd add a barrel modification though. Very simple mod.

Now THAT I shall be looking forward to. I had done a lot of thinking about the triggers, but I honestly didn't really figure anything out. I debated even putting them in the back, since you could fire it two handed until people got closer before drawing a sidearm (Good old SSII) and using the four darts it normally has.

However, the only changes I've done to my Manta consist of wrapping four crayola barrels in tape and shoving them down the normal barrels, and rubber bands. But I was very very happy with the results.

Why are two of the AT2K barrels short... artistic styling?

Needed 4" for the NF and only had 2' to work with?

[userjjb]

Haha, exactly cxwq, I've spent the last week or so attempting to find more brass, but everyone is out of stock, and well I am the most impatient person ever. I had a 1 ft section and then 8" leftover from the NF mod, and I asked myself: "Hmmm, I could put 3 six inch barrels and add the last one once I get more, or I could just put on 2 four inch sections." Well I figured that the barrels would be too wobbly without the fourth barrel and I thought it would look kinda cool with the staggered barrels so, voila. The shorter barrels actually lose only 5 ft or so. I figured if your gonna be pumping out more than 2 shots in rapid succesion, its going to be close quarters any way, so it shouldn't matter.

YOU MURDERER!

I have 3 quad barreled sm1500s
I have 4 more not moddified
Those are the same gun, my brass didn't work out as well and was removable, the pvc one is permanent and you can find the mod write up in modifications section.
Everyone thinks im wasting the gun but it fires stock darts and mega stefans like you can't imagine.

Is it just me or are any of your barrels straight?

[Bishop]

There all straight except the nf, im still working on it. The at2k barrel looks strange because of the shape of the gun around it, i checked it with a leveler and it was straight. The sm1500 pic I took at a strange angle and one of the barrel legnths is a fraction off throwing the whole peception of it off.

That's what I was about to ask....Dude, get someone to help you if you are having problems getting them on straight..

[Bishop]

There all pretty straight. As explained before the at2k only looks tilted up because of the way the gun is shaped (ie. the angled pump handle) it makes an illusion, but in reality its perfectly straight.

I'm using your floor tiles and how the gun runs along them, your barrel seems to be tilting up my friend.

Jb's right.

EDIT: And the LnL's barrel is crooked (It's pointing to the left, towards the ground).

Umm no. Did it ever occur to you that I dont have the gun exactly even with the tiles. Look how the angled pump handle just about matches the line. And my LnL barrel is perfectly straight. Could be the pic got distorted because of the carappy camera or youre vision is off. I tested them all with levelers like I allways do and there all perfectly straight.

what is a lavel going to do? i think either your level is broken or you were holdin it a 45 degrees man

[Bishop]

what is a lavel going to do?

Ummm, mabye show me that my barrels are straight. There all perfectly straight and theres no doubt about it. Pease stop posting how they are not like the 20 people before you when you are just gonna make fools of youreself. Im not going to repeat myself: THEY HAVE ALL BEEN TESTED WITH LEVELERS, THEY ARE ALL PERFECTLY STRAIGHT UNLIKE YOU!

I’m guessing he was probably confused just like I have been as to how used a ‘leveler’ as the only kind of level (no ‘er’ needed) I know is for carpentry and uses fluid and an air bubble to test whether or not a flat surface like a shelf or the like is level. It would be hard to accurately use this kind of level, the only kind readily available to most nerfers I know of, to make sure a barrel was straight. If you do happen to have a different or unique contraption please share. Anyway as long as you can hit what your aiming at then your barrels are as strait as they need to be for how you shoot. I'm pretty sure that’s why people just stopped arguing with you.

[kickass jb]

Bishop I don't understand about your pumps being angled up because mine are straight, and I wasn't using your pump as a gauge, I was using how that line on ur floor went with the indent area in the gun and came out the at the same level. But hey, if you just want to prove us all wrong and not take our advice, go play, have fun....and miss.
