Thanks, guys.
2  Everything Nerf. / Modifications / Adding a tacticool stock mount to a BBURB Yipee. Angled stocks. on: February 11, 2013, 11:49:29 am
I had this project kicking around in my pile for several months, I wanted to make a permanently-attached stock made out of wood. I got tired of waiting around to get my willpower up to go play with my wood, so I came up with this: Why not put a tacticool stock mount on there? I had a spare one from a Spectre, and the colors matched fairly well.

So, here's what you'll need:
Hotglue or other form of glue, preferably 2 part epoxy.
Hacksaw
File

E-tape
Spare tacticool stock mount, mine's from a Spectre
1" PVC, 3/4" PVC, 1/2" CPVC
1 BBURB

I think that should be everything you'll need.

During this write-up, I will not be noting where I think you should put glue, that is up to the user. This WILL require some gluing in order for everything to stay together permanently.

So, take your Tacticool Mount Part (from here-on: TMP), and put a ring of 1" PVC into it, make sure that the ring is flush with the edge or lower than the edge of the TMP. Place a ring of 3/4" of equal size into the 1" ring, and wrap 1 layer of e-tape around the combined rings. It should slide snugly into the TMP.



Now, take  your BBURB, open it up, and remove the green cup from the top of the blaster, right above the grip. Cut a length of CPVC about 1.5" long, and insert the CPVC into the cup. This is a tight fit, and you will see some stress marks appear in the plastic. If you wish to avoid that, just file down the CPVC a little at the end, so that it is thinner. Wrap several layers around the exposed CPVC, enough for a snug slide fit into the first ring we created. You will need to trim the CPVC length so that you have something that looks like the second picture.



You will need to cut the shell slightly for the stocks to attach. Once your glue is dry, insert the cup with the attached TMP back into its original position. And everything is done!



That is all. The intelligent ones among you will have noticed by now that your stocks will be angled up slightly once attached. I have found that that is not a comfort issue for me, if you were to hold the blaster so that the stock was at a normal angle, then your shots will be angled. If you hold the blaster so that the blaster is level with the ground, then the stock will be angled and the blaster will be low in your field of veiw. But, if you put a BBUSB in the integration slot, then the top of the BBUSB should be right at eye-level, perfect for pseudo-iron sights.

Thanks! This is probably the only site that's been nice to me about this thing.
4  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / How to QUICKLY reload the RoughCut on: February 03, 2013, 01:31:04 pm
One dart at a time is just too slow when you have to reload 8 barrels. Having a fistful of 8 darts is also too slow, as you have to adjust each dart in your hand. Take a look at THIS VIDEO> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlLJt5KjlYE&feature=youtu.be.

Now, for this to qualify as a real post, here's some text.

After you have fired off a salvo or two, or four, you will let go of the blaster with your dominant hand, holding the blaster by your front hand. Then, tilt the barrels UP, and obtain two darts from any source. A BarrelBreak's ammo rail placed on top of the blaster is a good place to store ammo. You want to pinch the tips of two darts using your middle finger and thumb, placing your pointer finger on the face of the dart tip. Then, guide those two darts into the top two barrels on ONE COLUMN of the barrel assembly. If you try to put them into the top ROW, it will be much more difficult, due to the wedge shape that separates the two columns. Then, repeat that process on the other column. You should have 4 darts placed into the blaster, two in each column, which will give you two salvos. Prime the blaster at this time. Then, repeat the above process twice more on the bottom 4 barrels, and you will have a completely loaded RoughCut. The dart pegs can slow down the loading process as a whole, and once removed, any reloading process you use will be much smoother and quicker.

QC(F?) are all welcome!

Thanks. Not a whole lot of people have been paying attention to this writeup on other sites.
6  Everything Nerf. / Homemades / SSHAMP on: December 15, 2012, 12:43:26 pm
The purpose of this homemade was to take the basic design of the HAMP and simplify it as much as possible. Here is what transpired.

Materials:
A couple feet of 1.25" PVC
A couple feet of 1" PVC
A couple feet of .5" PVC

Now, based on how you want your SSHAMP to be built, you will need:
A 1.25" PVC endcap
2 .75" to .5" bushings

OR

A 1.25" coupler
A 1.25" to .5" bushing
A .75" plug

You may also need some masking tape or some clear tape. Do not use duct tape, it's non-sticky side is too sticky for what this will be used for, if it is even needed.

Tools:
Saw
File
Scissors
Hammer
If you really want it: Pipe Solvent

Start off with this stuff:


And this for an inverse plunger (no deadspace, I swear):


Or this for a standard plunger:


Cut your 1.25" PVC as long as you want the draw to be, plus a few inches.
Attach the endcap or the coupler and bushing to one end of your newly cut pipe.


Cut your 1" PVC to be equally long if you are making an inverse plunger, or at least 6" longer if you are making a standard plunger.

After reaming out the lips on the bushings (inverse plungers only), hammer them into the 1" PVC, one on each side.
If you are making a standard plunger, just pound the plug into one side of the tube.

For an inverse plunger, take the .5" PVC which should be longer than the plunger assembly, and push it through the bushings in the 1" PVC until it is flush with one end.


For a standard plunger, just put the barrel on the bushing mounted to the 1.25" PVC tube.

Now, slide the plugged end or the end that is flush with the barrel of the 1" PVC assembly into the 1.25" tube.


And you are done.
If your 1" PVC fits very loosely in the 1.25" PVC, you may want to wrap some tape around the 1" in order to improve the seal slightly. Don't use duct tape or electrical tape, they are too sticky on the non-sticky side.

Ranges: 5' to 150', depending on your strength, barrel length and fit.
This was meant for stock darts, although you could easily modify the design to work with all types of darts.
7  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / Re: Discs shot with a level. on: November 10, 2012, 12:36:58 pm
Well, I haven't taken the level off yet, it's still masking taped on. I was thinking more along the lines of cutting a front and rear sight post with a slight angling to them, but I can tell that's going to be a pain in the ass, so the level is staying on for now.
8  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / Re: Discs shot with a level. on: November 09, 2012, 10:36:05 pm
Yeah, mine seemed to get about 35' when 100% flat, but would hit about waist-highish at 35' when minutely angled.
9  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / Discs shot with a level. on: November 09, 2012, 08:22:40 pm
Discs are interesting ammo. If they are fired perfectly level, as determined by a bubble level attached to the tacrail, they will fly just like any dart will. When angled just enough to tip the bubble, they will float miraculously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mDXw8eT3fE
Here is a video demonstrating this concept. This probably isn't that surprising to most people, but I thought I'd start a discussion on discs and their flight characteristics.
10  Everything Nerf. / Homemades / Re: Homemade Attachments... on: November 04, 2012, 07:00:22 pm
Well, magnifying scopes are kinda silly in nerf, but the nerf-produced scopes can help improve general aiming if you have an accurate primary. Rangemasters are miraculous blasters with their scopes.
11  Everything Nerf. / Homemades / Re: Homemade Attachments... on: November 04, 2012, 01:41:58 pm
Why you hating on scopes, dawg?

13  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / Re: New Blasters: on: October 18, 2012, 04:52:35 pm
I think the Styfe might be the first blaster produced that could be reliably dual-weilded with a bit of help. If you made a harness that held mags out at a slight angle, and then connected a string to the bottom of the mag and then to the harness (with maybe 2' of string) you could drop both mags with the standard mag drop button with one hand, then slide the blasters onto the tops of the mags in the vest, then pull the mags out while they are in the blaster, and when you drop the mags, they wouldn't hit the ground.
14  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / Re: New Blasters: on: October 14, 2012, 02:49:09 pm
I'm really not a fan of the new brand (2010-on) blasters.  Buzzbee in my opinion is the way to go on the matter of the the lines of blasters this year though.
I can't exactly agree with that. While the rangemaster is the bee's knees for me, it's still much slower than any of the Nerf elite line, and has the same power. I think that the retaliator could become quite a valuable peice of plastic for many people, whether they are HvZers, noobs looking for a good blaster that can be slowly ramped up into something that a veteran would maybe consider using, or non-modders. Yes, flywheel blasters are kinda stupid, and nerf seems to like them now more than buzz bee ever did, but I think that the Cougar, Jaguar, and overlord don't really have a home in serious nerfing. If you can find a panther, they are just as good as rangemasters, except much smaller.  But I think that nerf is turning a corner, and they will have sucessfully gained back their fanbase that they may have lost from their reclone spamming.
15  Everything Nerf. / General Nerf / Re: New Blasters: on: October 13, 2012, 08:28:43 pm
The stryfe looks neat, but I never liked the handle on the rayven, so both of those are out. I'm actually a bit more intersted in the new water blasters.
