Well here is my CPVC modded crossbow. I have yet to paint it but hopefully will by the end of next week and will post it again here and then in the "Show off your crossbow" Thread.

Her name is Loretta.

[the essence of death]

Here is most of my armament, I say most because i have a new ls that i dont have a pic of yet but i figured it oculd go in here since some are modded,



And yes the piece of pvc there is my blow gun, I average about 130' with it on a good day. And if anybody is wondering where I came up with it, its from a broken marshmellow shooter.

[PvtMcFlurry]

Finished Loretta finally this morning. Level 4 Mod. CPVC Barrel with metal reinforcing.

Sweet paintjob.
Crossbow barrels always look crooked to me. Always upward crooked.

I think that's because most Xbow couplers and barrels make contact with the forward lip of the gun, causing an upward angle. That's why I glued mine on slightly offset.

Wow McFlurry, that is one clean paint job. what type of paint did you use?

[PvtMcFlurry]

Krylon Fusion a razor blade for cutting tape, and a shitload of patience.

[Zaxbys]

McFlurry what color is that in krylon brand? And wow that had to be the simplest yet sexiest xbow paintjob I have ever seen! Nice man.

Indeed it is nice Flurry, and it is red krylon fusion. It's at my walmart so I would try there first.

[PvtMcFlurry]

It's cherry red Krylon Fusion.

I just got done with some more guns.

Here is my SnowStorm:

This gun is more winter warfare.

Here is my singled out Maverick:


I'll have some more guns up later.

[General Cole]

What are the crossbow ranges now? Very nice looking. But I hope my future paintjob will be better. No offense, but prop painting is always a bit more cool. Very nice BaA, what are the ranges?

Well currently I am getting a new spring. But for now it's getting about 50 - 60ft. The gun is mainly for looks, I don't know if I'm ever going to use it in a war.

[Retiate]

Ok, got the pictures up.

First, my 2 Crossfires. The paint needs to be redone, they're all scratched up from being tossed around. The barrels are 17/32" brass. They go probably around 45'.


My PETG'd SM750. This thing shoots pretty well, with about 6 pumps it gets around 100'. Though this was with thinner, really worn down darts. My newer batch of darts will probably get better results.


My new Pumpshot Gun. It's got pretty much all the mods on the Level 2 mod for it, minus the rubber foam in the front of the plunger tube. The barrel is sanded out PETG so 17/32" brass could fit in there, then the outside has been sanded so it can fit inside the 19/32" brass. I also have 2 of the stock springs in there as well as a spring from ACE. This one actually works really well. With the same thin, worn down darts, it hits about 115'.


My Magstrike. It's got one clip with 17/32" brass barrels, and 3 clips waiting to be PETG'd.


PETG'd SSII. I've got an idea for this one. I still gotta see if it'll work out. Might see more on this one later.


And, lastly, the internals of my in-progress NiteMav. I've been working on this one for a little while. The turret has 17/32" brass barrels and the Nitefinder plunger tube has a cut down Handyman spring in it.

[Foam Shooter]

I'm a new member but I have been modding for about a year now. Here is some of my work.

I will start with my copper Longshot. Ranges are around 90'. Sidearm integration on the way with possible tan and black paintjob.


Next is my Big/Biggish/Bigger Salvo. It has couplers attached to the airtanks and I have many different combinations for it with my four cpvc barrels and my 4 bigger salvo barrels. In the picture it is my Biggish Salvo with two long cpvc barrels and two bigger salvo barrels. I know they're crooked it's all for a good spread.


This is my mini Big Blast. Stock barrel with air restrictor removed. Ranges are long but not measured yet.


This is my blow gun/sword. Very accurate. Scores good on the TTG board thing.


This is my own design. It is a Longshot sidearm with a cpvc barrel. It has an o-ring on it and it goes into the plunger tube like the normal barrel. It's replacing the stock plunger/barrel. Ranges are very good compared to stock. If you want a writeup or ranges just ask me for it.



Last and clearly not least my in progress Angel Big Bad Bow. All I need to do is make the clip and the breech closing opening arm.

[Z-man12]

My singled Reactor. Yea its a werid one but it shoots about 45-50 feet. I know I can get more range out of it if I fill more of the dead space. I just ran out of poolnoodle I only had a scrap piece.

[b00m13]

Damn, that's pretty smart Z-man!

I'm guessing there's a "catch" so the darts don't fall out at the back right? (piece of paperclip, etc.)

If you need to fill the dead space, could you drill holes in the balls it came with, and shove cpvc through them?

[Pyromaniakal22]

This is my Firefly and Mav after spray painting.

The Firefly is stock, other than the fact that i mounted its internal flashbulb on the outside for night games. For the Mav, all i did was remove the air restricters and cut out the pegs to allow the breach to open to its full distance. Each of these gets around 30' or so.

Next is my Longshot. After adding a second spring, it gets around 100' range with fairly good accuracy. Some of the other things i did to it (aside from painting it) was to add a laser sight to the front of the gun, two small blue LED tac lights on the sides, and the flash mechanism from an old disposable camera on the side. I also e-taped the two clips side by side for easier reloading. It works amazingly for night battles. (Also, the belt is a shotgun ammo belt i picked up at a military resupply. It's the perfect size for Nerf darts.)


Finally, there are my three Nightfires. (Noticing a trend in paint scheme yet?) Each has a larger spring and gets about 50-60' very accurately. The Nightfire on the top also has two additional barrels. These are from the key chain secret shot.

No catch as of yet... It actuly works kind of like an inline clip with loose darts. I found that out today.

No you couldn't use the balls. They are too small and don't fit that tight in the barrel its self.

my single minimized titan(yeah i know its not that minimized...)

[PvtMcFlurry]

Foam shooter would you care to teach us how to CPVC mod the front gun of the longshot please?

[Spectre666]

Pyromaniakal22, I take it you're waiting in line for Halo 3 too. Nice paintjobs, but it would have gone better with the Halo theme if you put an orange like that of the front of Chief's helmet where yo had red.

[b00m13]

This was my 1st and only NF. The fact that's it's still in mostly one piece is nothing short of a miracle since I've taken it apart and re-assembled it ... over 10 times.
I've breeched it only for the looks because my friend requested it. It does not have a good seal because I don't have the proper tubes so it doesn't really work.... but luckily for me, my friend didn't ask for a "working" clipped NF.
