/\Underside of the bolt/\
/\Inside the trigger/\
/\The traditional lever catch/\
/\The tiny-ass plunger. Although according to my calculations it has similar volume to a NF, but I get the feeling I made a mistake somewhere./\
/\Get rid of the grey barrel (the pic has the first iteration, which failed) and you get an idea of the size. It's actually the same size or smaller than a NF./\

/\I still need to sand the back end of the bolt-barrel connection down, so the darts don't catch on the lip. After doing so, the bolt action should be as smooth as the rest of my clips. I'm just too lazy to do it right now./\
Ah, and ranges. Since I can't put a stronger spring in there, I needed to use bands to get the range I was looking for. Ends up I can get around 40-50 with 2 bands on there, which isn't bad. I predict 3 bands should net me around 55-60, although the effective range would still be around 40-45. After that the dart starts dropping off.

Do you open the cap to the clip before inserting it into the gun?
VERY nice work!

Not in the game anymore, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the great years of fun, NH!

It's by far not the best design, but I'm unsure of how else to do it without using a shell-type system.

Judging by the previous clips I've made, it's just a matter of a small amount of sanding. I just already had the pictures and videos uploaded, and I didn't feel like re-doing any videos or pictures. I'll do so after my 4-day calc exam, so maybe next weekend.

50 feet isnt that bad at all. I`d be quite happy with that.

You're right; the gun takes a little while to load the clip and everything in, maybe 5-10 seconds. The gun itself though is just to see if it was possible to actually have a small gun that would still fire with the inherent seal issues (with a moving bolt it's harder to get a seal than with just a regular coupler/pvc barrel) with a clip and bolt. It was mildly successful, and I hope it serves as some sort of inspiration for you guys to take it further and make it better.

What kind of seal do you have for the barrel? Given that it's reverse action (forward then back), couldn't you be getting a near perfect seal? I've found that a tapered sealing surface inside the barrel, covered in e-tape, does the job quite nicely.
50' is definitely good, especially for a really cool design.

AHHH! Why didn't I think of that? Tapered with e-tape... Ach. This entire time I've always tried to figure out how to get a better seal, and it's THAT SIMPLE. Argh.
Thanks DavidBowie, I didn't think of that, ever. Makes my clips alot better.
Keep in mind guys that 50' is max distance with 3 bands.
