Been a couple years since I posted here, and I wanted to follow up my NitroQuad and Coral Viper mods.

It's not completely finished, but this is the latest mod I've been working on. Kind of works like the Defender T3, but it does not come apart. Both can be cocked and fired simultaneously, or independently.

More details coming soon.

The Nitro-Quad. I was more tempted to punch people in the face with it, then try to fiddle with the barrel selector and make the thing shoot correctly. So after some plastic surgery, what once scraped the shit out of my knuckles, is now a decent single-shot pistol.



It started as a Starbuck-inspired "Boomstick." The new barrel is a 2.5in piece of 1/2 CPVC inside a 4in. piece of 3/4 CPVC. The barrel attatchment point is stabilized and centered by other PVC couplers. However, I couldn't find a comfortable way to fire it and I had a bunch of spare parts that I didn't want to throw away.



So I added a trigger piece directly on to the old one.



And then I put everything else on, neglecting to take pictures beforehand.



It gets mid-50's flat, unbanded. Hopefully some decent bands or a different barrel setup will up the power later. If I get my hands on another NitroQuad, I might try to reincorporate another barrel selector system, but for now I'll settle for this.

When I get around to my next mod, I'll try to take pics BEFORE going nuts with the dremel and glue. Things slated for the operating table include a Strongarm, Perceptor, Razor Fin, Armor Shot, Iron Raptor...

Here's my new Coral Viper mod.



Basically flipped it around, removed the tubing, put a 2.5in. piece of 1/2 CPVC inside a 4in. piece of 3/4 CPVC (not sure what it is, some grey pipe we had in the basement), and glued it onto the plunger barrel.

Then I fashioned a trigger and pivot point from an old CD and piece of hanger wire.



I didn't want to waste any of the old parts, so with a bit of dremel work and various glues, I managed to fit them back on nicely.

Here's a size comparison pic with a NF.



Ranges aren't all the great yet, I'm only getting 40-50ft. Haven't had a chance to try bands yet, so I'll update when I do.

Also, yeah this is my first post, but I'm not a noob to Nerfing or the NIC either. I've been Nerfing on and off since I was 9, but mostly through middle school (in college now.) Had a lame Geocities Nerf site and everything. So anyway, hi everyone

And here's a bit of what I'm working on next...
