OK so ive been building a homemade its a shot gun design and its coming along great im almost done but there is one problem the darts are to tight. Im using 1/2 pvc with 5/8 FBR and the darts are really tight you end up squishing the foam just getting them in the shell. I didnt really think about this being a problem because the FAR uses the same stuff(What do you people do who have FARs?). So is there away to fix this or is it just that my pvc is a little smaller than most?
Ill post pics of the gun once its done should be about 2 weeks.
O and im just curios why none of you have built nerf mortors/rocket launchers somthing that would launch a lot of nerf darts at once? Ive been building spud guns for a while and it would be really easy to make one.

Takes too much time to reload. Unless you can come up with a good clip for it. Then go ahead and knock yourelf out.
As for the FBR problem, try using smaller FBR or even just a different brand. I used to have problems with casing my brass in PVC. Went to a diffrerent store who had a different provider, and it worked perfectly.

Not to add to the off topicness, but I doubt that's the reason because it would be pretty easy to make a clip or turret for one (just use large shells).Takes too much time to reload. Unless you can come up with a good clip for it.
Yellow, try sanding the PVC into a cone where you stick the darts in.

I have the same problem with 5/8" FBR. What it comes down to is that you have to choose your barrel material for the FBR you can get. For me, 21/32" brass fits 5/8" very well.

in. I think i might try to make a mortor after this project i have a shell idea that would work. I do under stand the reload time though the only real way for it to work would be to have it hooked to an aircompresser. I was thinking of just a one shot thing if it worked good a smaller version for under a FAR or somthing like a grenade launcher.

It's been done, but it's a spud gun. What's the point?

Nope. JaketheSnake did a 12-shot mod with his Titan. I'll see if I can't dig up a pic... I think it's in ItalionStallion's gun cost rating thread. Later.

As for the dart fit problem, I just add chambers to the breeches of my barrels using the appropriatly sized drill/boring rod. Of course I get rid of the step in the material, but it makes darts just slip right in to a set depth. Awesome...

The idea of an under-barrel shotgun or grenade launcher is good, but you have to keep in mind that a shotgun or grenade launcher would need quite a bit more power than your average dart blaster. How would you power it while still keeping it compact?

Im going to have to make a lot of changes but it will be worth it i think. The only thing is i think its just going to be a one shot reload gun because of the problem of getting a mag around the pump handel plus if would just look plain goofy and with the biger pvc i cant think of an ejector.
