Wipeout Brass Barrel writeup: Now with some more

I did this mod at 3 in the morning, so its a little rough.

You will need:
-Wipeout gun
-17/32 Stock brass tube
-Screwdriver
-Hacksaw
-Knife (A sharp one, like a pocket knife or scapel)
-decent sized pliers
-Small half round file
-2 Part Expoxy glue


Its best not to start out with a work space this messy


First up you will need your decent sized pliers to remove the sight. Grab on to it tight and twist off. The glue should give way easy. You can keep it if you wanna put it back on.


Then get to work removing the orange ring in the same way. but this one is a little harder to do.


Then you will be left with this. Slide off the purple ammo holder and keep it. There is no glue holing it back.


Take out the screws and you're inside. When i opened mine, the orignal barrel and a spring flew out. They are pictured abouve the gun, if you can see them through the clutter.


Now take out the plunger tube. The purple ring over it is the part which stops you pulling the trigger when the handle is up, you can get rid of it, or keep it. Your choice

Now heres an exploded view of the punger assembly. The shorter but wider spring is there to slow the plunger head down, so get rid of it.


Now we focus on the plunger tube. You don't want that black rubber on there, so remove it with pliers, knife and file. Or use what ever you feel like.


untill you're left with this


Then cou a 10cm (4inch) section of brass tube, file the cuts down smooth and then glue it onto the plunger tube. try your best to get it in the middle over the hole. Then leave it to dry. its recommended to leave the plunger head inside the tube when its drying so that the lubricant doesn't dry out.


When its dry (16 hours later) put it back together. Make sure this part is facing the top


Becasue that spike goes into the hole in the metal arm to cock it.


This is optional, but take the orignal barrel and cut a 1cm piece out.


Like so. and then file down the inside so it fits over the brass barrel. I pushed it down a little too far.


Then stick it over the brass barrel and this will help keep it from moving around. You could glue it onto the brass in place, but don't glue it to the case if you want to open it again.


Dry fit the sight and ammo holder and your done. Those parts will sit on nicely without glue. Make sure you don't glue them on if you want to be able to open it again.

It gets around 60 feet flat.

But now some more


So i noticed that there was heaps of free space for the spring.


So i got about 1cm of this metal tube i found in the shed


and sliped it over this part.


And now it looks like this. so it compresses the spring some more. and now gets about 70 feet flat.

now i have no idea where to get this metal tube from, but you have to remember that what ever you use it has to fit over where the sping sits


and it has to also fit inside this hole, or the plunger head will not go the whole way down.

Nice clean mod . I rekon it will improve ranges slightly, and make it hella more accurate.

Very clean looking mod. So these wipe out guns are desent? Very nice collection of er stuff.

It now gets around 60 feet flat when using taggers. Mind you, it could only get around 30 feet stock.

I wonder if the springs are shorter, becasue there is a fair bit of free space between the spring and the plunger. it rattles around when its uncocked.

With stefans, these things are absoulte jems! And for only $9.97 how can you go wrong.

nice mod, i was thinking of getting one of those guns

I just tried this mod and my wipeout now has slightly worse range than when it was using micro taggers. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I found some 10mm copper tube to compress the spring further. It makes a really loud noise now whenever you fire it.

The range is only a tiny bit worse but it uses stefans now which is good. I can't fire micro taggers out of it anymore but those things are expensive.

I find that mine also has issues with taggers. thay fly off to the right like crazy. But they still go way further than when stock. Stefans or converted darts are the way to go with this mod. They will go even further if you ramrod them in (use a stick or some kinda rod and push the dart all the way to the back of the barrel).

and yes it does make a massive amount of noise when it fires. the spring bounces around after its fired. I put back the spring that was behind the plunger head to tone down the sound, but its still loud. it just stops the spring bouncing around. but it affected the range by about 10 feet.

Once i find a good local brass supplier, i think i will do this mod, i picked up the set of 2 for 14 dollars =)
