The orange cross is about 1/3 the length it was which helps a bit. That's the reason for the "stop" behind the blast valve. To keep it from jamming open. Cutting out the center of the cross and enlarging/chamfering the black and white bit of the tank as much as I dared helped too. Still needs work to reach the full potential but fun.

Reflex Rifle at v2.5



Shotcannon 4B Helix Re-Shell. I have to increase the flow to the front tank. I'm going to try the idea I have in mind (which is to run a hard auxiliary inlet to it) on the sharp-shot manta.



The future home of alot of barrels

I don't know if I have seen something quite like this although I have seen simlilar things. It's an absolver with 4 inline clips. I still have to test it as the glue is just drying now.



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.



Edit : 3 pumps sends all the darts in the clips flying.. Lol. About 6 of them landed at 75' and the rest trailed behind a bit. Oops. I have to try tighter darts and fewer pumps but it's dark now.

I haven't posted anything I've modded lately. This is one of like 8 blasters, but this one is going in FU's contest. It's a brass and PETG breached deploy, that gets 50ft. flat with SLUGS and a RFDG spring. I need to get an L/R plunger tube and powerstock with female dog!!!

The writeup will be up soon.

An effective deploy! Quite a unique beast! Certainly an unloved although popular blaster. I have been lookiing for an excuse to buy one even with the daunting # of screws. This does it for me. I will now go stare at some internals!

[iamthatcat]

Shotcannon v 1.0. Oh god. It's ridiculous. Still needs a real trigger. I want to try 1", light silicone darts for it. It covers alot of square feet in darts out to 80'. It fires about 50 at once! It holds 80. You can do close range shots with one pump.

[iamthatcat]

I tried this out today and got decent performance and fine feeding. Ranges were 90' with decent accuracy. I think I can likely hit a smaller target at range with my NF. So kinda a bust. I didn't get the chance to do a longer clip since I didn't feel like disturbing the goop on the wye. I really would have to make a new one anyways for the sspb.

If I could expand the tank again and add a new pump this might be cool. A longer barrel may help accuracy. I'll likely try a turret once I do a pump replacement. I am trying to come up with something primary worthy out of a sspb.

First post on HoF! Yay!

Thats all for now, I'll post more pics later.

Super Mauser: The clip is removeable, and it still needs a few more features, like a barrel leash and some sort of cover for the exposed brass, and maybe some work on the plunger seal. It was originally going to be a STEN/Mauser hybrid, but it would've been a lot more work, would've had too much deadspace, and might not have been an ergonomic prime. At least this design has almost no deadspace, so it gets the same range it would if it were singled. It has an ACE#49.



That last pic was a spacer and screw port combo, almost all of the screwports in that area were destroyed, and the front PT mounting bracket was broken earlier, so I made this thing for it to hold the PT/breech to the shell. It's rather sturdy.

Minimized BBB, has a washer (cup?) seal and a PVC coupler, and two slicghtly cut down ACE#49's in there. I only took off two coils at the most from each spring, but they fit really well in there. I think one shot got to 105' w/a 12" barrel, but it was a nuthead-esque dart, not my regular size hotglue dome.


And finally, some of my pictures look okay.

[iamthatcat]

NeverWriteTwice style Buzz-Bee Double Shot. I added Tek-3 turrets, an SSPB & some foam.

[Techshooter]

I've finally decided to take pictures of all of my guns.

First is my barricade. It has a 9volt battery mod, and it accepts clips.



Here is my Reflex rifle. It was easier for me to put the LSFG handle on the pump than make the Reflexes trigger work with it. And it's comfier.



Here is my other primary, along with my plusbow. My LAHB (aka 4b). It's coulplered with a hopper. Shoots mad far and accurate.



Next is my stampede. It's minimized with a 9.6 volt RC batter, and it has an AZTS spring in it. It shoots about 70 ft. flat, and it's my stock dart primary. I take part in stock dart wars a lot.



Next my two primaries together...

[iamthatcat]

Wow Tech that is so much quality, detailed stuff! All nicely done and looking effective. The barricade and stampede are interesting. You've got alot of ROF there! You reflex looks cool. and I bet it's a bit more ergo than mine.

Thanks Cat. In stock dart wars, I carry my Stampede as a primary, and my Barricade on sling (that's why I have the folding stock). I might use the Stampede outside, too. Just imagine 18 darts coming at you...

I don't really know if my reflex is more ergo or not, but I like foregrips, and the reflex handle makes a nice one.

It's Exostein's Monster! I had an old NF shell that had an ugly PJ on it, so I scraped it off, but there were some areas that were hard to get, but I liked it because it looked like dirt and grime, so I enhanced that effect, and added some blood. The bolt helps the effect a little bit. I also added a wood foregrip I had for another NF project that never happened, and I had some custom internals that were mostly experimental. The tube is a sink drain, so it has the same ID as 1.25" PVC, except it's much thinner (OD is smaller), and the inside is perfectly smooth, just like a stock PT. I used aluminium U-channel for the plunger rod, so all of the moving parts (spring not counted) weigh only 61 grams. It uses a spring I got from DIB, it has a 5.5" draw, but may be a bit weaker than ACE 49's. There are actually two stains on the wood, and I wanted to go for three (one just in the grooves) and a clear coat, but this thing was supposed to be done a week ago, so I just hurried it through.

This isn't really a modification, or a paintjob, but it's a blaster. My (used) Vortex Tornado X2:



I can't wait to finish the internals...
