Exactly

I played this game quite extensively a few years back on some of its older versions. If nerfing and this game has taught me anything about gun violence or modern warfare, it would be that in the real world I be very dead, very fast.

Erm, you can get much better results with a 1/4" push-to-connect tee, an acetal check valve, a tube-stem reducer, and some 1/4" OD tubing.
Edit:
Not that I'm disparaging your work or anything, but if you use the parts listed above and splice it all in between the pump and the trigger valve, you'd avoid the problem of the rocket-propelled pump shaft.

I see what you mean. But you can get all of the parts for this mod at Fred Meyer for around $5-8. And as far as a rocket propelled pump shaft, it is unlikely but possible... you can always test it by trying to rip it out by hand. :looks at the ground and kicks at his foot: ...and I guess i am not quite at that level where I feel comfortable messing with the tubing. I also like using the pump chamber as kind of a buffer for when I use a CO2 bike pump.

I think this is kinda fun.

1) What do you think of real guns?
I think real guns are kind of scary. The tools of the trade are the tools of the trade... nooses, electric chairs, gas chambers, guillotines, ICBS, swords, and guns etc. They are designed/invented to kill people. It isn't something to be taken lightly.

2) Do you think that nerf guns promote gun related violence?
No, I do not. I think poor gun education leads to gun related violence. People who don't understand what it means to take away life shouldn't have guns. The for the same reasons why doctors take an oath to do no harm. A medical doctor has the potential to jack someone up far more then a gun can.

3) What is your opinion on the newer more "realistic" N-strike lineup?
I think there freaking sweet! I think Nerf guns are awesome and the more life like the better, to a point.

4) Nerf is generally considered a toy for boys, so alot of feminists think that toy guns promote the whole "men are powerful" idea in young boys, do you think this is true?
I answered all the other questions so I could answer this one. NO I don't think so .. At WWU, there is a nerf club (they meet in a lecture hall Saturday nights), and about there is about a 3:4 girl/guy ratio. Alot of them got in on the etoys magstrike sale awhile back, so things are pretty intense.

5) What do you think about guns in general( EDIT: nerf, airsoft, paintball, laser)?
Lasers are the best. the only thing that can beat sharks with laser guns on their foreheads are dolphins with mirrors on their heads, and where are you going to find one of those.

(maybe i shouldn't start to get snarky with my 3rd post)

At first I thought that you could only use a bike pump, but the fact that you can use the standard pump handle AND a bike pump makes it very efficient. How is noise? Does it still make that kind of squeak noise when you pump with the pump handle when you pump with the bike pump? Like my titan and my magstrike make this little low pitched squeak when I pump them.

If you replace the O-ring the standard pump is garbage but still usable, because the tighter seal creates a vacuum when you pull the plunger back. That back pressure needs to be released before it can be pumped again. For some reason on my gun, and this may very depending on how tight you hose clamps are, the point at which the vacuum releases is next to the bike pump valve.

I just checked and it still squeaks a little. After about two and a half pumps on my bike pump the bladder fills up.

When at nerfing battles I pump the gun before the round starts with the standard bike pump, then keep it topped off with an Ultraflate Plus using 12g cartridges. You get about 3-4 clips per cartridge, and i figure if it works on a bike tire it will work with my nerf gun.

This makes me laugh because it's ghetto on the inside, but clean on the outside.
Good work.
