But not to sound skeptical but besides the "cool factor" what purpose does this weapon serve on the battlefield. Mortars are very inacurate, so the chance of you actually hitting someone on the battlefield are very slim.

It could be used in Assault and Civil War matches with varying degrees of efficiency.This concept sounds like you know the basics of how it would "in theory" work. I'm loking forward to to seeing the finished product.

The idea in itself is very unique, but is the 1/2" PVC the only barrel? The original Nebelwerfer had six. At least use a sabot and a larger-diameter barrel for a better spread and a greater number of darts in the air per load, as this will not be easy to prep during battles.

That being said, I'm always interested in new ways to chuck foam...looking forward to seeing a finished piece.

I would think that you'd want to get a lot of foam in the air to make it worth your while.

Yes. 5 darts = inaccurate shotgun.
50 to 500 darts = holy craaaaaaaaaaaap

now that I think about it, the best parties are loud, big, and potentially pain inflicing. Somebody should get on this.

Now. Since we are talking high volume single fire weapons... If you took 7 24" barrels and made them in a hexagon shape (you know what im talking about, kind of like revolving turrets, revolvers, whatever they're called.) and stuffed each barrel with 10-12 darts, and used a large PVC air-tank... then yeah that might just work because then you have 70-84 darts in a huge spread at a distance. Killer....

This is what I was thinking.
I was thinking you might do three large barrels with several smaller barrels inside of it.
Or
Do a "shells" approach like Gengar did in this mod:

It would increase the ROF, and I think funtion well.
What do you think?

The idea is have the maverick clips so the clip stays in the barrel and the darts launch. If you have a bunch of mavericks laying around, using that as a shell/clip could work for you.
The whole thing could work as a floor pump attached to an air tank to fire it like a breech Howitzer.
I think that would be a LOT easier to do and effective as a heavy weapon mounted to the ground or with a air tank backpack to have a crazy powerful shotgun.
If you wanted to use it as a artillery cannon, footballs seem okay but not painful unless you stand RIGHT in front of it. You should use 3 turrets if you are using footballs but the problem with an indirect weapon like an artillery is the fact that it is SO rigged if you use more than say...20 darts or 3 footballs. I think you should have a crazy portable heavy weapon like a shotgun that reloads VERY fast. Shoot, open breech, take out clip, load new clip, close breech and SHOOT. That can be VERY fast with an air tank and as an artillery weapon. You can mount 3 of them have two people loading and firing all while using a pump but that would be a BIT crazy.
Hey, if you mount them you might have a use for old longshot bi pods!

So the best idea that other people have given is packing a ton of darts into the area of a nerf football, to act like grapeshot. This should probably be pursued. But good luck with your cannon!

1. It's a concept thread.
2. Mortaring is nearly impossible, at least with Titan missiles.
3. I think homemades defeat the purpose of Nerf.
But hey, I'll be impressed if this gets made. It'll be cool, whether or not it's Nerf. And Lynx, there is a very good use for the Longshot bipods - if you leave one down, it makes an excellent foregrip.

Personally, I'd do the Maverick turret idea, and make 5 or 6 barrels, and stick a bi pod on the front, so it's angled upward. That'd be 30-36 darts lobbed into the air, raining down into a large area. Sure, it's not very practical almost all the time. But I think it'd be way fun to give it to the offending team on a "Defend the Base" game. It'd take quite a bit of practice to get a feel for how far the darts fly though.
