Revonix 360 at Target in UT

10 August 2013 - 09:25 PM

I went to Target today to get the Hammershot, which is awesome. Dual wielding is lots of fun, and I had not seen this posted before; it has a version of the slam-fire. Much like a revolver, you hold the trigger down and palm the hammer to fire all five in quick succession. Five shots is not a lot for slam firing, but good in panic mode I guess.

But what really surprised me was that the Revonix 360 was there, I had not heard it was out yet, but there it was. I suspect it is not officially out, just an early stocking. There was not much fanfare for this blaster was there? The zombie strike line is fun and I obviously am buying that product, but the Revonix is revolutionary in design and I would say the best vortex blaster out there now. I am surprised it was not a bigger deal. Is there even going to be an official announcement, or are they just going to appear on store shelves?

Iron Man Nerf Arc FX Mod

I saw a simple mod on NerfHaven a few days ago using the Iron Man Arc FX, and I decided to take it a step further.
I started with this 20 dollar toy:

And I did the voltage increase recommended by Buffdaddy

Then I got a little creative, I wanted to replace the on/off trigger with a pressure switch so it would come on with a trigger pull.
Lucky for me there was already a pressure switch underneath the hopper lid. So I cut out the on/off switch from the wiring and moved all the wiring above the motor and into the trigger assembly.

This required me to drill a hole down the plastic into the trigger handle, but it was easy and there is not much vital you can hit in there.

Then I glued the pressure switch like so. Now a half pull of the trigger will start the motor and a full pull will fire the disc.

Now that it is all assembled again, I can fire off five discs in 3 seconds, averaging 30 feet. If I give the motor a quarter second to rev up, it shoots roughly 45 feet. I like that it is truly one handed now, no need to switch it on with your other hand.

Next I plan on boring out the barrel so it can fit the Vortex discs, and if I have time, add a light for glow in the dark discs.
I promise to post an action video when I have it firing the Vortex discs.
