First I would like to thank TantumBull for his work with the ms valve. I had to modify the design to make it all fit inside the shell …. Witch I accomplished I just need to gut a clip to put ware the tubing sticks out. The modifications I did to his design are making the air inlet come in threw the tank expansion instead of threw the whole vale assembly and by eliminating this I can now take out the whole piece of cpvc making it easier to exchange springs(I’ll get a pictures of this later because its very hard to explain) . And because of the air coming into the tank threw the expansion I don’t have external tubing fallowing the valve wile it is actuating like TantumBull did

I present the first ( to my knowledge) Automatic Recon. Noobs will go crazy!

Nice. but why a bbb plunger tube? I would go for some pvc of similar size (1 inch thinwall)


I would recognize that plunger tube anywhere. Why would you kill a bbb? Unless, you over hauled the bbb, then that would be okay. Didn't someone put this in the paint job thread?


I started this mod with the intention of that but then the PVC pipe I had was not thin wall. It was thick so till I got the PVC I decided to do this but yes that was my original intention. As for the bbb I already overhauled it one time and then decided that I would replace the plunger tube later. So now when I go to get the plunger tube for the recon I will also get one for the bbb. And yes I posted this in the modification paintjob thread

Now assemble your plunger rod and tube with the springs and everything in it.
Posted Image
Place it in to your blaster.

Now get this piece and cut off the armed part and sand till its flush. then like we did with the catch glue the end to the plexi glass and the trace it then remove it and cut it don’t forget to make room for the screw holes. this part is made to lineup the plunger rod with the catch to make it prime. So make your hole in the center close to the same O.D. as the CPVC you’re using. When you’re done it will look like this.

This is it closed up with the stock Attached first to make the slide you need to cut down the screw hole as shown in this picture and the one in the actual “slide”.
Posted Image
You will need to dermal in the ridges on the slide so it will slide freely and cut the hole for the CPVC. Next drill the hole for the small metal rod to go through the slide.

Posted Image
Also you will need to cut the “Guide” for the metal bar.

The end product is this. NO ranges as of now because I have been really busy with school lately.

This write up was made after I actually built the blaster I just compared the mudded parts to the stock parts for anyone who needs help understanding any part post here or send me a pm.
Same goes for revisions I guarantee I made some grammatical errors. I have proof read it several times but it’s almost 12 o’clock and I need some rest.

I bought this blaster from Thaygor after the last war that the whole Kentucky clan attended as a project blaster. About three weeks ago I finally got around to rebuilding it. The most distinct part of the blaster is the homemade plunger rod made out of 1/2 in cpvc, 2 cpvc Ts a cpvc endcap a homemade plunger head and a random screw I found in a parts bin.

Modifications done are
-Homemade plunger rod.
-Added a ½ pvc stock.
-Added a tech ten turret with 10in cpvc barrels.
-Added many catch springs for the homemade plunger rod to work you need many of them.
-Integrated Strikefire.
-Air restrictor removal to the strike fire.
-Although originally minimized by Thaygor I did take it further to make it more comfortable and to fit the Strikefire.
-Added a night finder spring.
-The Strikefire has a maverick spring.
