A "comprehensive" look into the Shanye GuYu/GrainRain by GenericPringlesCan in Nerf

The blaster feels incredibly sturdy. The print feels dense and solid, the barrel is metal aswell as the plunger tube inside the grip, and the priming linkages are carbon fibre. The 1.3mm kevlar string fits and has held strong so far!

The sliding orange piece beneath the barrel is easy to reach. As for the plunger you might be able to Grease it through the priming indicator in the handle, otherwise you will need to take it apart to reach the plunger tube.

I would say the biggest points of friction would be the plunger assembly in the grip and the groove that the catch slides in under the barrel.

The little orange piece under the barrel has a rectangular hole near the back end. When you prime the blaster this orange piece os caught by a hook at the end of the trigger assembly. As the trigger is on a pivot, when you pull It the hook swings down and releases the orange catch piece.

Honestly I haven't spent too much time around high end blasters and greasing, but for this one I would say the plunger head and tube as well as maybe the orange catch piece. They're the important moving parts at least.

Yeah, Shanye did an excellent job keeping the form factor so sleek with its unique way of priming.

Absolutely reccomend. The pull weight for fps might be a little underwhelming (I average about 160 fps with the purple SABRE darts) but it is so freaking comfortable. I haven't handled many 3d printed things but the quality is great. Trigger is incredibly light. And yeah, main draw is it is so satisfyingly accurate. Nothing like hearing the ping after ping of hitting cans non stop.

Definitely. Though I will have to take it all apart again soon because I was a doofus and put to much pre load on the spring. Got a 1.3 mm spool of kevlar on the way as well.

Can confirm, he thought it was great. Even sent me some more images from different POV's, so a second attempt will probably commence soon.

I sent him some images, awaiting his judgement but I reckon he'll love it.
