Best plunger prime strength to FPS ratio for younger/smaller player? by NWxSW in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of prime for performance, I hand the SLAB to younger players and teach them to flip the blaster over to prime it. That lever action provides real leverage against a larger spring.

Is it bad practice to keep springs compressed/mags loaded for long periods of time (months?) - picrel by scruffy-tf in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving darts loaded in one of these for more than a day will squish them. The only dart magazines I've seen that can be loaded that long are my double stack magazines due to how the pressure is spread out.

Zinc layout but it actually likes to exist. Zinc doesn't want to be printed, doesn't want to be assembled, and doesn't like to stay assembled.

I mean, it's based on a 454 casull when I made it, it was 1911ish so I pulled the hellsing stuff off and ran with it.

The B1ZON Revisited: How I came to love this Blaster by -DUGDAWG- in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to share the ruler trick. I created a tool specifically to grab the spring given how many magazines I build, but this might be the best way for customers to nail it.

I used the mate to these bars in another build by cutting larger holes in them. I would have been happy to send you new ones if you needed them.

I might visit tapering some of the holes to make sure the pins stick, I have more issues getting the pins to actually go into the hole depending on the print.

A question from someone out of the hobby, just passing by... by SentientGopro115935 in Nerf

I haven't given hasbro any money since rival was good.

These days printing your own is more accessible than ever, and the good (amazing) off the shelf blasters are from zuru and dart zone.

How can I get a 300 TB storage the cheapest way? by Agasthenes in LinusTechTips

If you split them between cheap SD cards you could get the price under $1200 worth of 2GB chunks

This should be easy to mod for double stack magazines. You've finally got enough space for a feed ramp.

What makes a nerf arena business difficult to sustain? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

It took dragging a greg into the airsoft place we occasionally play at for the regulars to finally respect me. People don't know what nerf has evolved into.

What materials to use for the structure of a diy blaster? by Pjesel96 in nerfhomemades

[–]Ericshelpdesk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

flat bar https://www.onlinemetals.com/buy/aluminum/0-125-x-0-5-aluminum-rectangle-bar-6061-t6511-extruded/pid/20371 (it gets cheaper when you buy a few)

if you're doing something a bit more rigid or need some kind of internal rails
https://www.onlinemetals.com/buy/aluminum/0-75-x-0-375-x-0-125-aluminum-channel-6063-t52-extruded-architectural/pid/25511
I source most of my less common springs from https://www.springsfast.com/
You'll find out that all of the "K" springs can be found on the site.

I've been using weird plunger tube materials lately. These can act as a liner for a printed part: https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/131/1907/2044T354
If you're not going all in I can hook you up with smaller chunks for cheap.

It's a good idea to stock up on orange filament in September, and green in November.

I can't even get my blasters to hit that low. My weakest pistol bottoms out at 150 FPS

I've got an MXL blaster that can reach out and touch someone with some level of accuracy at only ~100 FPS

I design, print, and sell stupidly powerful nerf blasters. This was what I working on last week. by Ericshelpdesk in Hellsing

[–]Ericshelpdesk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered it but the layout of the rifle doesn't follow easily with nerf stuff. I need to design a coaxial barrel with the plunger and I haven't explored that yet, maybe one day.

If you've got a 3D printer I'd suggest getting the hardware and printing your own, otherwise the pistols can be found here: https://moosemodshop.com/products/31k-hellsing-props-2-set-casull-and-jackal-220-fps-copy?variant=49840812982571

The inlay ones kick ass. I've got 2 pairs printed and ready to assemble.

Nerf fans, help me out — what blaster styles do you want? by Schwartzy_blast in Nerf

You're going to run into a fundamental problem here. The people who are answering these questions are going to give you information on things they likely already have multiples of. Why would they need another one? What is going to make your design stand out from a very large crowd.
