Nice Bolt. Two quick questions. what size of O-ring is that? Where'd you get that long skinny plastic piece (the piece you push in to release the valve)?
Sorry about the confusion. Yeah, I meant the wire loop. It was the diagram on page 4 that gave me the aluminum name.
I'll just leave it at this. I've done similiar things to a couple of my modded Nerf spring pistols, and have not had any touble whatsoever in caulking them.
Your hand should catch on the lip of the endcap, easily keeping it from sliding off.
Hey bolt, nice work! I especially like how you make your guns look externally, using essentially pvc.
Take it or leave it, but I've got a small suggestion. Replace the 1/16" aluminum handle on the caulking mechanism with a cpvc end cap, or properly trimmed cpvc coupler. This could be painted as well.
Next project: Build a gun with the same power/range, but that can safely be shot at anyone, from any range, thereby raising Nerf combat to a whole new level. You have three weeks. Any questions?
