So I recently bought a Stryfe. Good blaster, and I am planning to upgrade the motors to the ones that 0reo suggested here: http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=23611 . I'll also do a slight voltage mod, since the motors are rated up to 9 volts, and the 4 battery slots gets you 6 volts already with regular alkaline batteries.
Enough of that. Anyway, I saw a video with those motors, and there was still some time for acceleration. So, I got to thinking, is there any way that we could speed this up more? What I came up with was an idea something like a stryfe with an extended barrel and a shotgun-style handle on it. When you pull the handle back, it would store energy in a spring that would instantly spin the flywheels when you pulled the rev-up secondary trigger. Hopefully, this would cut down on acceleration time, allowing for actual sneak attacks with rapid-fire semi-auto blasting. Of course, you could still pull the secondary trigger before cocking the handle for regular rev-up time.
Unfortunately, I am a beginner at making homemades, so I don't know how to get or make any of the parts for this project. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this idea work? It would be amazing if I could make a homemade with this added in. Couple that with noise-absorbent foam, powerful motors, a couple Trustfires, and you have a great flywheel blaster.
