In Topic: Aiming With Nerf Guns

Just to add my 2 cents....

I cut a notch in the rear bump of my ttg and by dumb luck, it lines up perfectly with the front post. So I can aim it just like a real handgun. And to pour sprinkles on the icecream,, I let my step-father try using it a few day ago. He was able to nail a cola can dead-center from 30ft on his first shot.

(Note: This is Katachi's gun, I'm just using it to show what 'rear bump' talking about.)

It was a simple idea and it actually worked. If anyones interested, I thought of a way to make a notch in the right spot, luck notwithstanding. I'll post the instructions if you wish.

The ball valve isn't a good trigger


True. Thats why I'm planning to use an 'Electronic Solenoid Valve'. From my understanding (I may be wrong), an electronic solenoid valve is a diaphragm valve, in which a small motor opens the release vavle. Air escapes out of the release vavle creating a pressure difference, realsing the main volume of air through the diaphragm.

Check this. It shows how a diaphragm valve works. http://toykeeper.net/spud/theory.php.


And yes, the barrel will be almost half (about 3/7) the length of the gun.

The homemade sounds, okay at best. I think that you need to rethink your plans before continuing. But that's only my opinion.

Can you elaborate that a bit? What part should I change?


FIDO,

ROF isnt really a problem; this will primarily be a target shooting gun; accuracy and range matters most to me.
Also, How do you modify a solenoid vavle? I've never built anything with them before, so I dont have much experience with the workings of one.

Inferno,

The gun will be about 45-50" in length; making it the longest of all the guns I have. As I said, this is primarily a target shooting gun (homemades are banned in our wars). I might evan make a bi-pod, partly to help hold the gun up and also to achieve highest accuracy possible.
