NerfFreak

It's just a question I've been wondering forever.

Is a gun worth more if it's stock, or if it's been modified. I know some people pay high for good modifications like Angel's LS, but if you mod the gun, it's cutting down it's value, as it's not original anymore.

Opinions, questions, answers, flames?

Screw the flames.

After looking at how some craftsman use vacuumform tables to make certain types of projects, some being armor and costumes, I was thinking that stock shells from guns could be made, detailed, and used. Just use each half of the gun as a mold, and when both halves are completed, drill holes and screw them together. Plastics could be places on the inside of the gun for the inner structure, and essentially, you could replicate one of Nerf's original blasters. Even the Crossbow.

Again, just a thought. By the way, these probably couldn't be sold, due to copyrighting issues against Hasbro, so they'd have to be for personal use.

Here's my design for the Frequent Assault Massive Action Shitlauncher (FAMAS). I scribbled it down in paint to show everyone, so it may not be 100% complete, but the basic idea is there.



I believe my design tinkers with something new. The bolt and the barrel are one piece. The barrel moevs backwards, pushing back the plunger to the catch (not shown), and also allows the breech, which is the hole shown with a red line on the brass, to recieve a new dart. Then the barrel/bolt is moved forward into firing position. Behind the opening of the breech will be some sort of bolt piece to keep the dart moving forward, not backwards, in the barrel. The large blue piece around the breech opening is the sheath, to keep the breech covered when a dart is chambered. Prototyping begins tonight. Any questions?

I've came upon this idea as something convenient I've wanted to do for a while, but never got around to.

Basically, it's a book themed after the better, more popular mods in the Modification Directory. It'd be a book with many of the mods in the directory, also with tips, hints, and suggestions. It's mainly so you don't have to come up to your computer every time you want to do a mod, and need to know what the next step is. I'd type it up, and have it available for download, so you can print it out yourself.

I just wanted to ask if anyone had a problem with this, or if they didn't want their mod in the book for Copyright reasons or something like that. I would put who did the mod, so credit isn't an issue. Also, I wouldn't sell this, so I wouldn't be making money off the NIC's mods.

Would anyone be interested?

Here's my Lonshot.



Features:

-Jam door removed, for even easier jam clearing.
-Red-cross optic scope
-PVC supported stock
-1st gen NF spring added, and stretched steadily to reduce wear and noise when fired.
-Useless switch indicator below accessory rail removed
-Bolt-lock removed
-Useless bipod removed



Here's the view of the bolt without the jam door.

Here's the question. Sometimes, The "prong", which interlocks with the chamber, jams up on the chamber itself, preventing a smooth closure on the breech. Should I bend it down steadily, or is there something I'm missing here?
