In Topic: Hasbro harassing Urban Taggers

The ironic thing is that it's probably Hasbro's own employees doing the leaking, in some Chinese production facility. I mean, if the stuff is all being listed on the Chinese equivalent of Ebay, surely they can put 2 and 2 together? It's being made there and it's being sold there. How far from the tree can the apple really fall?


Using that metaphor, I think Hasbro was trying to figure which branch of the Nerf Tree is dropping fruit early. The only thing is, they majorly fucked up their "investigation". Rather than enticing Pocket with free merch then throwing the book at him, if they had been more cooperative either 1) They'd have the info they wanted, or (more likely) 2) They wouldn't have a slowly unraveling PR nightmare on their hands.

A bit off topic, but is chomping at the bit for pre-release info the way we do good? It takes all of the suspense out of the release. I mean, we had the Rayven figured out completely months before it was released, same for the whole Vortex line and just about every release Hasbro's had for the last two years. Just my $0.02.

In Topic: How to properly cut brass for an angel breech.

I don't really know what else there is to say. Take this cutter for example:

See the triangular bit at the 3 o'clock position, that folds out and is used to ream the tube back out. If yours doesn't have that, any suitable wedge shaped thing will work, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, etc.

Most pipe cutters have a triangular piece that folds out, this is to ream out the lip that cutting will invariably leave. If yours doesn't, improvise.

In Topic: Check Valve Locaton on Titan

07 March 2012 - 01:06 AM

Does anyone have a fork, I'd like to eat my words. There is indeed a check valve in the tank. The only reason I suspected it didn't was because when I made a Titan-Mav, I had to plug the straight outlet. Guess that valve must've been broken.

So, to recap, the Titan has 3 check valves. One in the back end (gun-forward) of the pump, one in the straight connector from the tank (that the pump attaches to), and one in the base of the grip to fill the hornet.

Both. There are two fittings coming out of the back of the tank. One has a check valve and goes to the pump, the other doesn't and goes to the pressure gauge. There's a check valve in the pump too.


No. See below.

I need to know where the check valve is on the Titan. Is on the pump or on the tank?


The check valve is in the back of the pump (where the tube comes out), which is "forward" in relation to the Titan. Everything from the pump "forward" is pressurized until you fire the Titan's tank.
