My New Homemade

The THUG (That Horribly Ugly Gun):
It's got a permanently mounted bike pump, feeding into a length of bicycle inner tube, which I hot-glued (and hose-clamped) over a hole in the pressure tank. The tank is 3/4 in. PVC, and is 19 inches long. With a 24 inch barrel, it'll shoot 65-70 feet level, and 75-80 feet arched. Also, with my 30 inch blowpipe barrel, it'll shoot 80-90 feet flat, and 120-130 feet arched.
The THUG is designed for loser-type use, having a fairly low ROF and (for me, anyway) very long range. It can be muzzle-loaded, or the barrel can be removed for a breech load.
As the THUG is very loud when fired, I made this muffler with Zero's instructions. It cuts the firing noise in half or so, and doesn't interfere with the firing of the gun. It's 3/4 in. PVC, is filled with kleenex, and is covered with a cardboard paper towel tube. The muffling length is about a foot.
I did the math, and the THUG cost me about $20 American to build.

New Homemade Darts

I based the following dart on the topic "Current Darts", especially on GunnedDown's description.
(You may need to copy/paste the link. Sorry!)
[EDIT] muttermutter... http://www.geocities...StrawStefan.jpg [/edit]
The dart has the usual BB stuck in a hole and then hot glued in, except it is on the back of the 1/2 in. FBR section. Stuck in the hole around the BB is a 2 in. section of straw. Here are the test results, compared with traditional stefans:
With my Nitefinder, de-restricted but with stock barrel:
stefans: 29' to 32' straw darts: 11' to 13'
With my AT3K, 4' copper barrels:
stefans: 18' to 28' straw darts: 14.5' to 18'
With my Blastfire, stock but with a cool paint job:
stefans: 25' to 32' straw darts: 0' to 2.5'
I would guess that they would work better if the straw was 1/2 in. OD, rather than 1/4 in. OD. I've given some of the test darts to Nerfer16, who is going to test them with his AT2Ks and his 1K.
