10.   Describe your dream nerf gun in few words.

A airpowered semi-auto longshot with a breach system that works with nerf mags and that is powered by 2 12V compressor mounted on a belt. 

Sadly I'm living near Montreal, but the good news is that I can help you if you have any questions because I've made the Thunderdome Quebec. Also you might want to consider joinning the Thunderdome masterlist on FB, some of the other Thunderdome are portable and it may help you.

I believe he meant if the guy needed a prototype machined. A cast aluminum longshot boltsled would probably, along with 4B triggers, be the best part to make due to the universal necessity and appeal. If they sold well (and they should) it would be far easier to justify putting in the capital to make other, more obscure parts. 

Exactly, if you need to machine a prototype you can call me.

Also, if needed for prototyping, I may have acces to casting tools and materials overhere for aluminium parts if I can get the permission from the technician.

And finaly, I can design (and maybe cast) parts that could be machined at some places after the casting.
oh and I can design molds also.

I have acces to lathes, milling machine, CNC Lathes, CNC Milling machine, Surface grinder, Roll grinding machine and some other machine. If you need something machined, just send me the drawings (or cad model with some information about wich part is more important) and I will see if it is feasable. 

And I have some parts and projects to try out to. Something that I can't do is a replacement gear for the Appolo because of tool restriction and things like that.

Oh and If you need a 3d model or a drawing, I can do that in less than a week. Most of the time, the cad and the drawing are done in the same day and ready in 24h.
