Check it out. Basic idea is the same as a super soakers. Yes, I've been disecting their internals


The other valve (ball valve) closes when you're not in combat and opens when you are. This is to prevent extra leakage.

The other, very simple valve, works with a spring that pushes the lever down. That blocks air that goes through the vinyl tubing. Pull the trigger, you pull the spring back, air goes through.

Should even work with a magazine.

I'm working to combine the Taiwanese guy's P90 design (hey, I'm belgian and so is the P90 ) with semi auto, better air tank (check other topic) and a magazine

I don't know if anyone here has ever heard of CPS. CPS, or Constant Pressure System, may not be a correct name, but it worked for Super Soakers and it should work for nerf too.

Instead of a tank that can not be bent, such as PVC and the plastic Super Soakers is made of, they replaced the tank with a rubber bladder (can't think of a more fitting name ATM) inside a tank. When you pump it up and then release it, you get more pressure due to the fact that the bladder pushes the air back out as well.

Basically, you pump less, a little harder, and get more pressure. Any people who have made many mods that think this is feasible?

Really, the results on Super Soakers were pretty good.

While doing some sketches on a soon-to-be nerf gun, I was thinking why noone has ever considered using electronics in Nerf. Battery size really isn't a problem: most things I was going to use can be fixed with 12V (8 x 1.5V AA) which in it's turn can easily be worked into the gun.

I was thinking something around the size of an SMG (two-handed). In case you've ever had the chance of holding one of them, a HK MP5-A2 is pretty much what I'm aiming for in size.

The reason that this is superiour is that you have MUCH smaller valves. All you need is a momentary switch, some simple electronics, and a solenoid. I have some electronics worked out that can switch between semi-auto and full-auto firing. I'm not going to post it here (yet) because I fear a) someone will run off with the idea and most of you probably haven't seen a boolean schematic

Just some design questions:

1) Why the shells? I can imagine that something like caulker rod bends when shot in the barrel and that PVC can hold it. But, shell ejection is pretty darn hard. The only system I can think of would be having an ejection port that is activated in my electronics (actually, it's worked-in atm) and have the spring (or, with a gravity-fed magazine, gravity) push the shell out. I just fear that this will jam a lot.

2) Can't think of any more atm
