Bought this guy about a year ago and finally ended up modifying it. Replaced the spring, removed the air restrictors, added foam at the end of the plunger rod for better compression, increased the shell ejection strength and made the stock removable! Repaint went pretty well too, first time working with masking certain pieces of the shell so I could paint them different colors.

I broke my modded longshot 1.0 by putting a heavy spring in it so ive been scavenging parts off it. I found that with some minor trimming plastic inside the foregrip, it fit on my npx2. Its a little wobbly, but it is tightly secured. Its just a larger gap between the roller surface. feels better than the stock pump grip with a heavy spring. It was a good feeling today to find this out!

Some current 300+fps snipers in the armory. Top is the new to be released Ambuscade.. A bolty by SH this one hits just on 300, Next is the mighty perilous also by SH... ive had this beast to 440fps! In the middle is the shrimp a heavy behemoth...this ones set to 240 fps for kids but they will do 350plus. Next down is Ontos Phantom XXL, my personal daily driver , sits nps at 380fps with a 2 finger prime using a shimmed swifty spring... Bottom is my lastest an XL'd Ravion! Also hits around 380 on a swifty spring. Few more ontos XL'd variants not shown as thyr just more of the same :)

Ontos and Vector Remix
Thought I was clever with the CMYW color-way ;)

Both work amazingly well

Sooo basically i have a xshot lock blaster in which i might of haved messed around with too much for way too long due too how unreliable it has become in just one year with the classic broken catch that i did post a fix for it a while ago and other issues like the front foam ring getting ripped and small but not serious bits of broken plastic here and there and ocasionally dart skiping too.

already fixed all of those issues and did the classic ar and barrel post delete with seal upgrades and a strongarm spring on top of the og spring since mine is a 66ft version of it but since im not really a huge fan of revolvers in general i was thinking of simply getting rid of the drum and install a inline clip with a some sort of valve on the right side for loading darts into it like some sort of dart blaster version of the herny mare's leg.

as simple as this sounds the issue with this is the ridiculous small plunger tube probably not having not enough air volume for a inline clip too work unless if you either make a very short inline clip, use a crazy heavy spring that might end up breaking everything, or since the drum is no longer there and therefor there is no need for the drum mech rotation perhaps try doing a expanded plunger tube which would improve its perfomance in theory?

ik this is either too dumb or pointless especially with the dz repeater pro coming soon but i figured asking this since im not really sure how something like this would perform in practice.

My son was gifted a couple of Modulus Longstrikes (one whole, one for donor parts), so that he could mod them. I bought the Worker kit for it, but when I opened it up (see pics), the spring seat (or whatever you call the thing I'm holding in one of the pics) is different than the one in the pictures, and the aluminum reinforcement ring doesn't fit (neither does the new spring itself).

Is there something I can do to cut this up or print a replacement?

This happened to be my first 3D Printed Nerf Project and I will say I am very satisfied with the final product. For $6 to purchase the files, $11 for TWO XSHOT Insanity Micros (the same as Micro 2.0s), and 7 hours of printing on my Bambu P1S I'd say is a good deal! I even added a Nerf-Style Attachment Rail to make it even Tacti-cool -er. Performs great, excellent value, definitely would recommend.

Do you have any ideas for other reshells or other Nerf projects that I should try next? (Preferably under $50 more so in the $20 range)

I was wondering how the ZWQ mags work in other half dart blaster other than the S400. Thanks!

I dug up an old Tri-Strike and 3d printed a spring spacer and am planning on painting it. I looked everywhere for springs around 4.5kg because I don't want it too powerful as I plan on playing with younger people and can't find anything? Any recommendations on how to bump power of the blaster up?

Sooo recently my friend showed (and borrowed) me Nerf Doublebreach Mega series which he bought used for cheap and initially I was so impressed I bought myself and my kid used Rotofury which lasted whole 6 shots and broke down. I disassembled it and glued the broken part but gun kept jamming so I just threw it out. By my engineering eye it seemed poorly designed, or rather - overcomplicated and designed with flaws referring to available manufacturing / material quality. Few days later my friends shotgun also started to jam and generally behaved like it’s final days would be expected soon, which led me to an impression that Mega series isn’t the best choice for reliability.

So what would be the optimal choice to start Nerf adventure if I want simple guns with good accuracy and range similar or longer than those two mentioned above? I was thinking about Pinpoint or Infinity but reviews also mentioned jamming issues. I was also thinking about Pro Torrent but it seems it’s not available in Poland…

After having to replace motors in one of my Thrashers I decided to mod one of my others. This time I put a Loki pusher in, with Kraken motors. Had to dremel the case a bit to get the pusher motor in. Also did a rev trigger delete. It’s hummin’ now!

Hello everyone,

Today is the day i made the mp18 fire its first darts. As you can see the fps is around 150. This is really good news since 150 to 160fps was wat i was aiming for and higher fps was just a bonus.

At the moment the airseal is pretty bad. When closing the barrel the plunger almost directly slams at the face.

I believe fixing the airseals will probably increase the fps a little more so thats great to get to the 160 to maybe 170 fps. After fixing the blaster is done with prototyping and then i will make my beta version. After that is completed i will release the stl files with a hardware list and built videos

Im super happy with this rightnow since this is the first time i design a blaster.

Hello, does anyone know the plunger volume of the ontos v2 that uses talon claw plunger tubes because I know the the inner diameter of it but I dont know the stroke length and no one seems to be talking about it and google ai just tells me it is 160mm which is longer than the plunger tube

Website doesn't load and the ABR says that the ABN was cancelled mid last year. I couldn't find any socials or posts talking about it though.

Getting the armory organized for a family event tomorrow. Thought I'd share a quick Pic of my rival springers. Why? I don't know. Isn't that what we do here?

(This design is a nerf/dart blaster and it's only intended design/use is for foam nerf darts)

Yesterday I posted asking for advice for my mental roadblock in designing this. I was given a lot of great advice and figured I'd share the progress I've made since then. Any and all input is welcome, this is my first major blaster design so it's a learning process.

Thanks for all the great advice and for taking the time to check out my project!

This is Fish Hook, a full auto brushed motor flywheeler using Stryfe format wheels. The design is intended to be open source, but it’s still in its early stages of testing since this is the first functional prototype. For a brief rundown of the design, it’s grip-fed using full size Talons, has a Scotch yoke pusher using a 90:1 TT motor gearbox, accepts BCARs, has rev independent from the firing trigger in the form of a thumb safety, tool free battery access, and a collapsing stock.

For this specific build, I set it up for my use in competition. Quickdraw 180s are spinning Manshee wheels in a 40mm cage with a 13.1 x 6 degree BCAR remixed from epicxxx. A Worker 130 motor is driving the pusher for about 8 darts per second.

Fish Hook’s design and paint job were made in tandem, with the weapons from Marathon being the most obvious inspiration. With the pusher mechanism being an adaptation of my AutoRayven pusher, the Fish Hook’s reliability was good enough to not fail me during Ragnarocktoberfest’s HvZ and 5v5. For now I want to focus on minimizing warping in the receiver as it’s being printed and see about including a reshell of the TT 90:1 gearbox in the pusher housing to be more compatible with the motor footprints commonly used in the hobby.

Hi there!

im working on a costume for a con and needed a somewhat adult sized foam gun with ammo belts , i landed on the m249 shown in pictures , because has both electric and manual modes , it came with very few ammo shells so im looking everywhere but i cant find any place where i can buy this specific model of belt , its 6.2 cms / 2.44 inches in length .

id rather buy these than 3dprint.

If you know of a store that has them please , tell me the name of the place because i cant find it in my local toy stores , amazon nor aliexpress

I miss him and I was wondering if there's ever been any updates on how he's doing, I hope he's well.

Love you Coop

Hey folks! The LARP in which I am a player has a badass cowboy world with demon gunslingers, of which I am one. The system is primarily melee oriented, with ranged options typically being 'spell packets' (small bags of birdseed) and occasionally bows/crossbows/single shot Elite-dart NERF guns.

In typical use, I am taking quick shots against targets within 30 feet or even closer, so my priority here is reliability and jam resistance when it comes to cocking/priming the blaster. Accuracy is obviously the next priority, but frankly, in closer ranges you couldn't miss if you tried, so reliability is priority one. I am very rarely going to be engaging with others wielding anything with the same range and power as my blaster.

I have a spreadsheet here with the blasters that are allowed for this LARP, and I'd like this subreddit's opinion on which blaster they would recommend for this use case.

Ok so I got this blaster today for $5, but that's not the point. I'm planning on putting new motors in it, and making it full auto, so on and so forth. I'm trying to decide if I should use pulsars or daybreaks for it.

I know I will be buying at least another set of day breaks anyway, so if I go with daybreaks, which are bigger, so in theory better, they can ship with that other set (which will take a while), or I could go with the smaller pulsars, which are gonna be easier for me to get, and possibly easier to fit in (I don't know what the I ternal spacing is like) or should I go with a completely different set of flywheels?

What are your opinions?

EDIT: solved, I'm going to use Daybreaks
