fly rev-8

Just shoot ice. Shove it in the barrel and shoot. I call it the shove'n shoot. By the way I'm totally kidding. It would be fun though.

Well you're lucky I'm on today, because I'm a firefly expert. Here are the questions to determine what the problem is:
1. Is the barrel tilting to the left? If it is you are gonna need to open the gun and when you put it back togather you hold the barrel strait and make sure that the scews around it are tight.
2. Open the gun if you haven't already done so and check to make sure that all of the trigger components are aligned properly. Are they? If you find when you open the gun that the trigger pieces are fine, the there can only be one problem. The way the gun goes back togather.

If you haven't already noticed, almost all problems with the firefly involve the shell of the gun. This is what makes the gun so tricky to work with. I'm even going to say that all problems with the firefly can be traced to the shell of the gun. I can also say I've personally had both problems you've had and these are the solutions to them, though if this doesn't help for some reason, just send me the pictures of it. Although, if you gun, like mine, wouldn't open all of the way because of the dart holders in the back, when you close it you're gonna have to work it, but you can close it properly. Just be sure to do it slowly so that you can make sure every piece goes where it's supposed to go.

Aside from this maybe you'd find intrest in the newest thing I'm trying to do with the firefly. I've been trying to build a piece on the side that will automaticly load darts into the barrel as you shoot it. I was thinking something along the lines of a longshot chamber type piece that could use a homemade clip to auto-load the barrel. So far I don't have alot but if you have any ideas by all means go ahead and try this because I would love to see this made.

Ok first I'd like to say that your a little late for the concept.

Next I'd like to say that you did a pretty good job fixing my concept into something a bit more useful then what I had. Other than the fact that that is mostly my idea, you did a great job with it.

Listen, fool. Rifling has been proven not to work with Nerf guns. Even if it did, your idea would do nothing to make the dart spin, and would probably throw off the dart's balance. Additionally, it is way too much work. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm just posting an idea of mine that I believe is good. I know that rifling works better for higher powered nerf guns, and goes down with lesser power

Listen dumbshit, rifling is proven not to work in Nerf. Don't fucking call me out if you yourself don't know how it works. I'm a hunter, literally. I know how fucking rifling works, you need to know how it does to pass the hunter safety course. Oh, and you spelled "moddel" wrong. M-O-D-E-L, is the way its supposed to be spelled.

I'd just like to point out that I'm not a good speller. I'm only in 8th grade and have kind of blown off spelling in class. Maybe not the best decition but come on, it should theoreticly work. If it doesn't fine. I'm just wondering what pissed you off so much. If you're a perfectionist I can understand that, but really.

Why are you advocating the use of lard or butter as a mold release agent? You could just buy mold release agent.

Gyroscopic stabilization is used to stabilize a projectile that is not aerodynamically stable. You do not have to add rotation to a projectile that already is inherently stable (as your darts should be since they are front-weighted).
Fin-stabilized rounds fired from a smooth-bore barrel won't need any kind of spin to maintain a stable trajectory path, and neither will your Nerf projectiles.

If your darts are properly made you should be getting very good accuracy up to 100 feet. Anything beyond that will be greatly affected by even slight wind drift because the projectiles simply do not weigh enough to resist even a mild breeze. No amount of spin will fix that.

If you wanted to run experiments on this then rifling is not the way to go because you're only going to add friction. Instead you might want to consider a motor used to spin a barrel that's mounted on a swivel fitting.

We are not going to be comfortable with anyone that advocates adding solid plastic or metal dart tips because those HURT LIKE MAD when you get shot with them.

Well which is cheaper, the agent or butter? What is most likely to be around, the agent or butter?

Point me.(Wow, now it's me 1 nerf haven 5 or 7, or something)

But still, don't think I don't care about your comments. I'd like to point out that I learned this from TV. I'm not saying blame the tube, just understand that though in theory it should work, it might (and most likely) won't work. Also I forgot to add in the standard stefan moulding procces. This, I believe, more people will take to. just do the same thing with a regular stefan without groves and BLAM, new and great idea. I'm starting to think that I should have released the standard stefan moulding procces first. The only thing that stoped me was the thought that people would say that a mould is unneccasary.(I know I spelled that wrong, sorry.) Well I guess that's happening now. Anyone posting after this tell me what you think of the standard moulding procces so I have an idea of what to do in the future.
