Concept: Firing From An Open Bolt.

19 December 2010 - 11:21 PM

Hello, fellow nerfers! I know that you're all quite tired of concept threads, however, I simply do not have access to the proper tools required at the moment.

Anyway, my concept was one that would work best with springers, being that when you prime the action of the blaster, you also pull back a spring-loaded breech. The blaster would function as such:

(1) You prime the blaster, hence also priming the spring loaded breech.

(2) You leave the priming handle in the rear position (like you do with a snap or +bow).

(3) You pull the trigger, which (a) slams the breech over the dart, sealing it with the barrel, and (B) fires the blaster.

(4) Rinse and repeat.

Basically, the idea is to shorten the length of time between firing rounds when using a springer that is N-strike magazine capable. You have to admit, manually-operated breeches take time to reload.

Sorry for the crudeness of my MS Paint drawing. As you can see, my idea involves a two-stage trigger. The only problem I can see with it is that this is a very long trigger pull.

Any suggestions as to how to get this idea off of the ground? Also, is it even worth attempting? I hope that someone finds this valuable information and is able to make it successfully.

Terminator;salvation!

Alright, I know that making a terminator movie without Arnold is like making a seventies kung-fu movie without Bruce Lee,
but this recent installment of the series is promising. Finally, we actually get to see more of what happens AFTER judgment day.
One of the things that looked promising to me are these

Motorcycle terminators!? Really? That's actually pretty sweet, now the only question is;is the storyline worth talking about, or is it like the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still all over again?
I've seen a few trailers for this movie and so far it looks awesome!
Now, what do all of you think, and what are you looking forward to about this movie?

Nerf Firefly Rev-8 Help!

Ok, I love using my FF on night missions because it's easy to find the darts, but they always partially charge before I fire them, thereby giving away my position. My idea was to somehow put some removable opaque covering on the front and sides that would block the glow(until I fire). Do any of you have a simple and/or cheap idea of how to do this?

And if anyone has already done this, could you direct me towards them?

Thanks
