Post your blasters that are still in the works, so that we may have some anticipation, and give suggestions. Please post pics.

I posted this on FU but have been ignored. I am making a breeched NF (Popatchi's) posted on FU.  I need advice on the breech tab, because I cant't use the pvc as my dremel is broken, help, plaese, I beg of you.

I don't think they ignored you, they just might not have the answer to it, I know FU would not ignore something Nerfy, if you don't get a response, chances are we don't know the answer... But will try to get you one. ;)

Because my Dremel is also broke, I make breeches with a..... HACKSAW! Yes, very ghetto, but it works.

I already have the breech cut. All I need is the little tab that you use to move the actuall barrel.

Or you could just use a rope so you don't over-pull...

I am currently working on a nerf "masterkey". Don't laugh. It's going to be made using a Ultimate Missile Blast tank. The tank will have an absolver attachment glued on the front, a fill tube glued in the back, and a keyring trigger. The whole thing is going to snap into a PVC holder that's attached to the blaster of choice. As soon as I make a working one, I will post pics and videos for everyone to see. I am planning on selling these, so let me know if you would be interested.

I'm in the progress of making a snap that catches on the plunger rod, instead of catching on the plunger head.

Post by: Nerf Doctor on July 28, 2011, 04:05:45 pm
I tried that. It's a good concept, but you have to be precise for it to work well. It was that and plungerhead problems that made me decide to stick to air blasters.

Technically, my Hydro Cannon is still in the process of being modded. As soon as i can get back to my tools and supplies, it shall be absolved and take 10 pumps to full.

It all matters if I get the blaster, unless of course they let me use the stock as my entry because I really don't have the blaster yet OR the money.  I plan on it to be a recon with OMW kits in it with a minimized longstrike barrel and a maverick integrated.  Kinda like ice's recick/mavcon with a different paint job.

NF's are 25 shipped, if you supply the NF. Includes all basic mods, Ace#49'd, Draw extended if you please, and couplered, along with a PJ.

I have thinwalled PETG, for plunger replacements, but according to my calipers its a wee-bit too small. I'll just throw it in if you get something, Lein. I have no use for it now

Another double post, because I'm awesome.

Stampede, after the wash. In the picture it looks spotty, but it looks dirty - just not all Fallout style. My camera is being stupid, and when its not raining I'll take some pics with natural lighting to get the blue to look better. All it needs is silver and cleatcoat, and its finished. Post in the Painting forum soon, covering everything about it.

This is a NF I've been working on for a little while. I plan to make the removable suppressor functional and add a little bling.

And this is another that has a bit more power. It needs more work, tweaking and a paintjob.

YES!!! You joined! Thank you! That supressor looks really cool and clean. I've made some for airsoft guns but never for Nerf. How well do they work? And I love your Jolt mods (he's revisionfive, if you can't tell.) You make me want to buy 5 more  ;D

Post by: iamthatcat on December 05, 2011, 02:33:38 am
I can't remember what product came in that can but it smells nice when I pull the trigger :). Here's a pic that shows the barrel ports for the suppressor. I'm still trying different port designs.

(http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3108/img0502j.jpg)

That'll direct some air into the suppressor. Then I add some aquarium filter material in the space between the barrel and the suppressor. They work a bit  better on air vs. springer. Subjectively they seem to cut about 40% of the noise. It's something I actually need as I keep odd hours and have neighbors upstairs. I will do a new topic too asap. I always make them removable as there's some confusion about legality with permanent ones even on toys. Thanks again.

Double posting in cool in this kind of thread. I don't post here because I don't take in progress pictures...

Anyway, your jolts are insane. Do you have to pull both of the trigers at once on that jolt combo, or not?


Title: Re: Beta stage blasters.
Post by: iamthatcat on February 01, 2012, 04:52:48 pm
Thanks. This one is my favorite so far.

You can fire each side separately and can even prime just one side. Kinda handy that way. But I would like to link the triggers at some point (maybe not on this particular double). I want to try to combine the output of each to one barrel.


Title: Re: Beta stage blasters.
Post by: iamthatcat on February 08, 2012, 10:13:47 pm
This one is nearly silent with a single stefan and is so quiet with shotgun loads that I would have a hard time knowing where the shots came from! Even though I fired them! Lol. It's really almost true.

(http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8784/img1472c.jpg)

There is a jolt under there. I swear!


Title: Re: Beta stage blasters.
Post by: iamthatcat on February 09, 2012, 08:51:52 pm
My plan was to try this with the output from the double being combined. The little wye isn't working 100% yet, I am still using a stock spring and seal. Reloading, so far, works by dropping 3 darts down the barrel and then ram-rodding them into the cigar tube. First dart has some juice, 2nd will go 5 feet (half the tme it spirals! nasty? never saw that), 3rd often doesn't leave the barrel. There's still some tweaks to be done before adding power.

Title: Re: Beta stage blasters.
Post by: iamthatcat on February 11, 2012, 05:35:05 pm
Whoa that'd be a trip. I'll try it of I ever get the wye to work. I suppose that'd be easier to get working on a NF.

So far the mini wye fires the first 2 shots fine and the last usually sucks. Still gotta make fresh darts though.

Shouldn't be too long, went shopping to day  ;D Got 20ft of CPVC sitting in the garage waiting for me to get the miter saw out. Nothing like perfectly straight cuts and exact equal lengths.

The good thing about my method with the Berserker turret is the barrels can be removed easily, with some force.

Preview of setup.
Unfortunately, all Lowes had was 1/2" beveled faucet washers, but they seem like they will work. With an OD of 25/32", they completely cover the hole in the reducer bushing, and fit in a little indent perfectly. I just have it threaded on the bolt for now. Those large fittings that will compose the body of the PVAT are 2" male and female threads adapters. I was going to originally use a threaded coupling and threaded reducer bushings, but Lowes would have none of that. The point of all the threads is so things are removable for my first attempt. If all goes well, this may take the place of a BBUMB tank in my masterkeys.


Edit: It's late here, so my mind isn't working up to speed. Forgot to mention, I have 10' of PVC sitting in my garage also. This is to be used on a project I have dubbed "Ebow" aka "Epicbow". I'm a decent sized guy, and fairly strong (for reference, I can lift one of these (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/275381425/argon_cylinder.jpg) filled with Argon without really working) , and I want a bow type blaster. I'm not quite fully educated on a bow, but it seems that the longer the arms, the more power in the shot, depending on how far back they're pulled, correct me if I'm wrong. I also realize that 2 sets of arms would have double the potential energy of 1 set of arms, when bent back to the same extent.

It's a Reconbow, or a SubRev, or a RingCatchRecon, or whatever you wish to call it. Instead of putting the new PT through where the clip goes and keeping the catch in the same place, I'm moving the catch way back, and keeping the clip.

Post by: iamthatcat on February 29, 2012, 06:47:56 pm
I love this idea Lein! I want to try my hand at this. I really want something like a mav/titan, but easier and more compact. I am totally ripping you off here but I also can't help it! I won't post a write-up on this as it's your idea. I'm using a BB Snype Blast, a small Schwinn bike pump, some salvaged water gun tubing and a BBUMB tank. I should be able to do a moderate tank expansion and keep the guts mostly inside the shell. I can't wait to try this!

I am not familiar with the SM1500 internals and workings. I would add an additional spring that pushes on the blast pin face, from the back of the shell, to yours. I saw that somewhere for BBUMB tanks and think it should work for you. It might help to seal the tank better and get the trigger working well. Like I said, dunno your tank at all.  Other than that your design looks great to me!

The shell almost closes! A little more dremeling and then onto the coupler, trigger & breech. I decided not to do a tank expansion as the vinyl tubing fit perfectly in the stub of the tank. I can't wait to see how it shoots. I think I will down some caffeine as well and get this done!

Reflex with chopped BB UMB guts. Uses 1/2 thinwall pvc and a slice of pvc coupler as a bushing for the pump. I would like to adjust the oprv as it can probably take a pump or 2 past 4. Dunno really if I'll keep up on this so a test trigger. Surprisingly solid to pump up. Everything is hotglued to one side.

I need to grab a better pic in the near future. The tank itself is an empty and sanded down fire extinguisher. The 2 main PVC pieces are a .75" threads to slip adapter, and a .5" cross. I sanded the cross until it fit in the adapter, and screwed the adapter into the extinguisher. I then took 3) .5" plugs, and drilled/tapped then for .25" threads. The top has a regulator and outlet, the side with just the barb is for the pump inlet, and the side with nothing is for a gauge for tank pressure. I plan on running 100psi in the tank, and regulating it down to around 30psi.

As far as your project, with that even bigger expanded tank, there's gonna be hella lot of air in there, but going from the back tanks to the front is going to be slow because of the little tubes. If it were me, I'd drill some hole in the tanks, and glue about 4 pieces of vinyl tubing going from the back original tank to the front tank. That would greatly improve flow.

Edit: My EPVAT Chimera is almost ready!

Yeah I wish I had a different Big Blast tank too, since those pipes are really small on the Ultimate Berserker version. I am going to try to subvert the whole thing next time with 2 pieces of pvc on a bb umb tank. One theory that is solace is that I want to try absolvers with a little more range. Maybe 4-7 shots with 7" barrels. I figure with the tank emptying slower I might get better range. Also I might try 3/4" threaded couplers so that might help with flow.

Think of the sound a NF with a almost perfect barrel makes; that nice little "pop". Now, make that about 4-5 time louder. That's what it's like.

Sliding dart door proto. Uses a slot cut in a slice of threaded coupler. The actual door is acrylic (i know) with a rubber band spring both holding it closed and on. Leaks but I haven't tried to seal it yet. Should work OK!

Shopping snafu 19shot absolver proto. Dumb me bought a 3" endcap thinking it would work great here. Lol. Chopped down the front and cut a section out. It's a kludge. I think i'll at least build it up though. I think it'll work better here with the outer barrels staggered. Nerf Doctor has me working! I'll just file the outside edge of the outer barrels a bit to fit the missing 2 after it's glued up. And then bring it with me to lowes!

This is fun so far but my first attachment for it needs tweaks to say the least. It fires alot of darts at once but I'd like fewer. I tried it loaded almost all the way to the ends of the barrel! I might chop it up or redesign it.

The shell needs just a few tweaks and I have to put in a real trigger.

(http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/430/img2103v.jpg)

Here's the stuff I did at the back of the absolver with acrylic sheet. I haven't tested to see if manifolds help or hinder but I figured I'd try one here.

Initial layout for bbumb pistol/primary. I really want to leave this out of a shell since I am lazy. I have to decide on an ergo pump arrangement. I'll likely use a small schwinn pump. The oprv & check valve are hacked out of the bbumb's guts and re-kegiggered. I want to isolate the oprv from the tank hence the odd check valve arrangement. I am not sure how this will affect the pumping effort. There shouldn't be too much volume between the oprv & check valve.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but... The deadspace between the check valve and over pressure valve will act as an over pressure valve. Not like it's a bad thing that you have two safeties, I just wanted to point it out to you that you will get better range with less pump to check valve deadspace.

I've made some progress today with this attempt at an air primary. It get's 110'+ without tweaks. The oprv kicks in at 2 pumps. Is this a homemade or a semi-homemade? Lol, I don't know. It needs extra support for the tank and barrel.

I took the opportunity afforded by this badass day to tweak my umb primary. I had already added some support to the tank and barrel, a little comfort and some orange. 

(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5787/img2273z.jpg)
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1115/img2278lg.jpg)

Today I adjusted the oprv to 1 1/2 pumps, tweaked the trigger, added an oring to the inside of the female coupler and fitted the face of the male coupler. It didn't add much range but really helped dart speed and accuracy. I need to make a new wye next.

This is still the beta for my idea of a double UMB tank primary. I'll use a dual action pump, reduced deadspace between the pump and tank, an sspb oprv for added pressure and a little extra tank volume next. This crappy trigger works so well I might keep it! It takes about 1 minute to make! I'll give it a good stress test and see if it damages the blast pin.
