Air Zone Hawk modification

18 May 2013 - 10:22 PM

I find the Air zone hawk a very cool, and fun blaster to use, but it really doesn't get great range. My goal was to attempt to make this blaster achieve much better ranges, and maybe be war worthy. Also, in all the time have been here, I have never seen a mod for this blaster. Anyway, lets get to the mod. By the way, sorry for the crappy pics.

First, you have to cut the front orange cap off like so.

Posted Image
Then open the blaster up, here are the internals (it's not as complicated as it looks).

Posted Image
Here is the plunger/bolt assembly.

Posted Image
take the plunger rod out, wipe off all the grease, and put some tephlon tape under the o-ring

Posted Image
cut out a 1/4'' length of 1/2'' PVC, and cut a slit in it like so, this will act as a spring spacer.

Posted Image
put the PVC ring on the plunger rod, and below the spring, like so

Then take a pair of pliers like these with the circle in the middle.
Posted Image

Posted Image
then wrap those pliers around the PVC ring, and tighten it up, like so (sorry for blurry pic)

Posted Image
Then fill that hole on the top of the plunger rod

Posted Image
After that, put some felt pads (that most people use for stefans)on top, and use some hot glue to make sure it stays down.

Posted Image
Then put your internals back in.

Posted Image
Make sure you put some hot glue for the supports for the PVC spacer.

Posted Image
Now making the shells.

Posted Image
First, drill out the hole on the bottom (I believe I used a 1/4'' drill bit), then get that black piece out with some needle nose pliers.

Posted Image
Then cut the shell down right before it bevels down.

Posted Image
Then, using a dremel, make a new bevel, and clean it up with some sand paper.

Posted Image
Then glue in a 1 1/2'' length of CPVC

Overall, ranges haven't improved that much from what I can tell, but I haven't gotten around to range test it. I have rev 2 in mind, but am still working on it. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Air Zone Triple Shot, Discontinued?

18 October 2012 - 08:50 PM

Hello. If any of you has nerfed with me, you may know that the air zone triple shot is my favorite blaster. Though, the two previous times I stopped at my local TRU I have not seen them. The first time I went to look for it I thought to myself, "maybe they just have to re-stock them," I went again ,and still no triple shots. I would like to know if this blaster is available at your local TRU because I would be sad if this blaster is already discontinued. (sorry if this is in the wrong place.)



Thanks,

Dice

interesting find on my air zone triple shot

26 December 2011 - 09:12 PM

I was transferring my quadshot to a hand cannon today. But when I closed it up and primed it I heard the extra notch catch even thought I did not extend the draw. I do not think this has happened before, but if it has I apollogize. All I did was take out the turret and rotation arm. If you hav an explanation or this happened to you befor let me know, thanks DICE.

Homemade nerf reverse plunger?

05 October 2011 - 04:02 PM

I have been thinking. Is it possible to make a homemade reverse plunger system that actually shoots relatively good?

If you think about it, you can increase diameter, put a stronger spring in, and make it longer.

I am not sure if there is one on the forum, but it might be a good idea. If anyone has an idea for this, or has made one, leave a comment below.
