Hi all. I recently made my own air blaster (details here http://nerfhaven.com...mps/?p=358583).

it's an air pressure blaster using a bike pump. Even if it's not pumped a lot (~25-30 psi) so as not to shoot too hard, it's still destroying my darts. Is this normal with high power or pressured air based blasters? With the ekind darts, after a few shots, the rubber tops fly off. The green elite darts from the zombie strike stuff I bought is pretty much ripped in two with the top flying off.

Could it be a problem with the barrel? I'm using 9/16" brass tubing.

I started my first homemade(s). I'm a recent Nerfer (wife's awesome Valentines day gift) - Mostly to relieve work stress by plinking down empty water bottles. I started getting some with the intention of modding - a retaliator, a hammershot and cycloneshot but recently I've been looking at making a spring and air powered blaster.

I'm looking forward to finishing up my spring powered blaster, but holy hell air powered blasters are amazeballs. The only thing is my pump was a cheap bike pump that seems to be geared for high pressure - so it actually hit's over 200psi.

While it can hit pressures that high, it takes forever to pump to standard​ levels, and high pressure is rather pointless. I'll probably look for a way to limit this to 30-40 PSI instead. Using a QEV on my prototype.

This is from ~85 PSI - nope, not running that much in the house...

Does anyone know of a good High Volume​ bike pump? Rather than pumping 20 times to hit my pressure goal I'd rather pump 5 or 6 times...

Also what are good ways some of you attach the base of the pump to your frame? I can see this taking a lot of stress.
