Does the 4k turret rotate with the pump?

Yes, it does auto-roatate with the pump. I was fairly impressed, it's almost in NIB condition.

Cheers,

All three pack 14kg ONN runout springs and full SS-style overhaul (ie 32mm bathplug, replaced plunger system). Ranges of 45-50m flat.

Hey where abouts did you get those blasters, and how much for them, were they in sydney?

Can you read mate? He pretty clearly said that he bought them at IGA Fraser Island for $8.

O really? I actually didn't see that

Drop the attitude. Consider that a warning.

@Bommah, I got three triplsehots and three 8-shooters (for the turrets) at the Wollongong Toys'R'Us. Normally the tripleshots are $30-$35 (can be as low as $15 on sale) the 8-shooters are $20 each ($10 on sale). From what I've heard from the rest of the Sydney crew, the sydney TRU's also stock them fairly regularly. They have also been said to be found at Toyworld's.

Bit of a show off of what I normally use at wars.

I can confirm they are sold at some Toy Worlds, my local one here sells them.

A Longshot!

Here's a picture of my underslung extension-fire hand cannon, the Tintagel.



Started as a Star Wars Clone Trooper Blaster. Dart weight and switch, barrel lacquer, kicked ranges up to a usable 25-30 feet but accuracy is practically nonexistant... but it's for close range anyway, so. >.> Moved the handle, added a leather brace, added lots of fun steamy stuff to it. When attached to my harness (not pictured) it fires just by extending your arm, meaning you can operate it hands-free after cocking- a great last-resort weapon if you're carrying a 2-handed primary, or if you're using two one-handed weapons. Mostly, though, I'm just gonna be using it as a prop. Cuz yay props.

My Snap carbine Mk II

Updates
New body, 40mm DWV PVC, used to be 32mm PVC (non pressure).
New piston, lighter, no more 15mm T; smaller handle 20mm Upvc.
Improved spring compression, near full.
Re-used handle and clothes pin



Hits 35m

Breeched and externally banded NF. The bands didn't give me too much range. I already had a strong spring. It did increase dart speed and accuracy. It finally got me to 100' too. A knot holds the bands to the priming rod. The priming rod is shaped to a sort of notch to hold the bands. I added foam and cloth tape to cushion both the priming rod and to keep the bands breaking. The cleat is CPVC. The front sight is the chopped up barrel from the stock NF (it works by clipping on).





"Kitchen Sink/Overkill" NF layout.



Here's an SSPB with a NF grip following Solscud007 & Demolution from SGNerf.

Just a little something I decided to do.

I already have NF's outclassing the lightly modded Scout, and I always wanted an underbarrel attachment which wasn't a Secret Strike. It fires about 11-12m with DTs, and 12-13m with Whistlers. The trigger is the Streamline head stuck onto the Titan linked catch, and I've cut through the centre of the slide to accomodate.
It's quite easy prime because the spring is fairly weak. It's also easy to fire via the button, and it's extremely reliable, not misifiring unless it's misprimed.

Longstrike Sniper Rifle - chambered for 12mm nerf darts aka Streamlines

• Air restrictor removed
  
• Orange Mod Works - Stage 1 Unleashed kit
  
• Generic Airsoft 6-9inch folding bipod with 20mm Picatinny mount
  
• Tasco 3x-9x zoom scope with 20mm Picatinny mount
  

Notes:
Still a work in progress, as I'm waiting on 13mm brass tubes to be fitted. Hopefully that will give the gun improved range and accuracy. Will do a youtube video showing range and accuracy soon.
Yes, the scope is just for the 'tacticool' factor, but I guess if you calibrate it enough, it might be useful.
In case you guys are inspired to attach real gun accessories, remember to pick 20mm (max) Picatinny mounts as they happen to fit just right on the Longstrike rails.

Pump action Recon. Apart from that completely stock.



I just finished this morning after going on a modding binge over the last two days. I originally 'started' this mod early last year but put on the back burner for a while because I couldn't find a nice way to attach the pump onto the bottom tactical rail. If I can get hands on some CAD software I might be able to make a nicer pump using the CNC at school where I work.

Three words for you mate: Autodesk Education Community - google it and you'll be a happy man

Don't know whether its CNC friendly, but Google Sketchup is free, and super simple to pick up.

Generate simple 3D geometry, and get orthographic views and measurements. I swear by it with mockups for my artwork, maybe check it out

Sheepie_125 wrote: Three words for you mate: Autodesk Education Community - google it and you'll be a happy man

Thanks, I'll look into it. I've had some experience with Solid Edge, so I might check if they have an education version as well.

I use vector works, very expensive and hard to pick up, you need to be taught it, but reading through a manual will do you fine.
You can create anything on it though, If you do computer design subjects, you will be taught in it's use. I suggest anyone who is still at school try their best to get into a subject where they will learn it, once you have mastered it you will be able to design anything, including a nerf gun with a proper shell.

Love it

Thanks! I still have a few tweaks to the trigger and whatnot but it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

My reflex ummm... thing...

The guns are great I get any where between 30-40 ft with these things (basic mods, AR removal and e-tape around the plunger tube).

This was my first cosmetic mod... sorry for the crap paint job, they were the only two colours I had and the black ran out before I could do a
second coat.

Thanks

Not quite Nerf, but just something I did a while back:
1/35 scale PaK 75 with crew




Yeah it's supposed to be a snowscape, kinda forgot to give the gun a whitewash...

Chopimigated BB DS



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.

My Zerker. Turret and airgun stock for the moment - will mod the airgun part on Monday.

Stock + Longshot spring, seal improvement, couplered. Video soon to be/ up on my channel

This is my shotgun fore-gripped Recon. I built it about 2 months ago but i never really got around to putting it on Youtube or any of the forums. Ill post a full thread on it soon

Its really really solid and primes extremely smoothly, This is one of the best Recons i've ever made.
Lol, no coat-hangers, duct tape or flip up sights here...

Crazy Magstrike!




Ultimate Rapid Blast handle chop.



BBB/Quiet Jolt integration.

Glad you like it ! I really wasn't kidding about the quality of it; its impeccable. Nice to see it's in great hands now.

Thanks,
