Still, don't fail a 36 page paper in the name of nerf... That's just retarded. And if you are doing 36 page papers AND making this thing, don't worry about it on your vacation... it seems well deserved.

I manually test-fired one of the barrels with brass inserts while in the basement this afternoon and the dart shot all the way across the basement, deflected off the partly-opened door on the other side and disappeared into the storage room. So the 50-foot mark looks to be more than blown. I can do more manual testing once I get back from my trip and can get the breech holes cut, but it's no real suprise that I'm getting performance similar to what Carbon has been getting with the Snap model I based the essentials of this gun on. My setup only differs in that I'm using a longer spring.

You do relize that when you create something as good as this by law you have to make a detailed write-up. Ok i lied but you better!!!!!!
Good luck with the testing and hope you manage to find some time to finish it in the near future.
Have you ever thought about making an attachment so that it can be mounted and then put in on servers so its remote? I know there was some talk about this at the begining of the thread but just curious to see if you would. Because with mine i made a stand to be used as a turret but as mentioned at the begining of the thread the gun is no more.

Well i still stand by my other comments. Do you actually plan on making a write-up and if so would it be in exel like bolt did so the majority of people can get it?

I eagerly await further news of this incredible project.
Good luck in school!

And for those wondering YES I will be making detailed machining and assembly instructions/plans. But only after the gun is made and working.

I'd do more today but my hands really hurt from all the cutting work. Plus I cut two of them...
Next I need to make the breech actuating sleeve and the actuating shoes and tracks for the plungers. Then I can move on to the outer shell.
Once I can get to the store and buy some loctite clear epoxy I can test the dry-firing to get a preview of the ranges. It's already looking very good but I'm anxious to see what it gets.

Nice. Keep up the good work!

And out of dumb luck I discovered that if I make the breech track so that the breech is closed when the dart is picked up, then there is only enough space for a single dart to be grabbed. The breech will open as soon as access from the dart hopper is closed off. I may want to modify the advancing teeth to accomodate this change.
And I sanded the text off of the barrels.
More to come next week.

Now you know that thing on how machine guns and the gattling gun work, would the plungers act similarly like the firing pins in the animated diagram of the gattling gun in action? That's pretty cool. No cocking or pumping required

The only parts potentially touching the inside of the 4" PVC shell would be the smooth-milled polycarbonate frame pieces. The internals will be suspended inside the shell, attached tothe center axle. So friction concerns will only be relevant to the advancing tracks that actuate the breeches and the plungers.Yeah, that would be cool. A full auto nerf gatling... But what if the endcaps produce a lot of friction and damage the internals?
I may have to just knuckle down and lathe my own barrels. I really didn't want to have to because the drill bit required to do so is kind of pricey.
