In addition to the aabow links above, check out the Mark 8.  You may want to upgrade to latex tubing if the bow part can handle the stress.  Also, I appreciate the poetry of this thing being on a cinderblock like an old rusty car. 

 

I was actually looking at the mark 8 thinking the exact same thing. And that's also why I'm here, my bow can handle the stress but I need to know what type of material to use for the plunger tube and what plunger head I could use for it. If Latex Tubing is an upgrade, I'll definitely be looking into it.

 

On another note: what is the name of that spring that most nerfers use.. It's called something like a K28 or something, I can't remember.

Do you know if there is a point where a PVC plunger tube gets so large that it risks being being too fragile to handle the stress?

Don't buy normal rechargeable batteries. Your performance will suck. The easiest thing for you to do is but a set of Efest IMR batteries, a couple dummy batteries, and AA to D converters. Then run 2 IMR and 2 dummies. The IMR batteries are rechargeable but are 3.7V each so they'll give you a nice little boost in performance.

 

Great idea! I own a set of four AA trustfires, would that work for the method you're describing? 

 

EDIT: disregard that question. I've learned that the answer is NO from another thread
