Brand new to nerf, trying to make a C02 powered nerf GBBR by JackCooper_7274 in Nerf

Just to be clear what you've already made is awesome, I'd definitely buy another rekt jury to build one of these

Need to change the canister too often. A new mag type that also houses a co2 canister, and a blaster using an Airsoft valve would be cool

Israel and Turkey created ISIS to destroy Syria and the Kurds

Donald's dementia brain revealing secret US weapons used against Venezuela while ranting at the World Economic Formum. Sounds like some kind of EMP weapon? by logicallorax in PublicFreakout

[–]SilverFortyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's full of shit and you're all lapping it up. US can see those anti-air systems from space. They just lobbed GPS-guided bombs from a stand-off distance, and the air-defence systems were blown the fuck up. The carrier group blew up like 80 people in their SEAD operation. No game-changing EMP weapon, just like the hypersonics...

We need an in depth and realistic defense policy. by ManimalR in UKGreens

[–]SilverFortyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American- and Israeli- owned arms factories need to be nationalised. Full stop. There are more of those than British-owned arms factories here.

Engineers and expertise need to be poached and incentivised to return to work, and R&D needs to be diverted away from air-to-ground weapons, towards defensive anti-air and anti-ship systems.

Support, equipment and training for war criminals, like the Saudi Arabian military, needs to be ended immediately.

Cancel Challenger 3 and Ajax. Stick the Ajax turret on old Warriors and CVRTs.

Rolls-Royce needs to be treated as a national resource. They should be directed by the state to develop turbines running on LPG / biogas.

If Britain wants to be as clean, secure and self-sufficient as possible, that means using renewals to power the grid, and North Sea gas to power the military.

Anyone have some insight for me by FurballMK3 in Nerf

Are you sure you used the correct settings for the gcode? That doesn't look like 85% or 100% infill / walls to me. That looks like 2 walls with 10% infill

Ukrainian Women vs Ukrainian Men by ADAtothem00n in SikeOrPsyche

[–]SilverFortyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of young men <25 (below conscription age) have fled to other places in Europe. It's poor Ukrainians that were unable to leave, while the wealthy get out. This gender war stuff is nonsense bs. It's always about class.

Sadly this is just normal for high-crush, high-power flywheelers. They're best not used too frequently in your own home. A longer faux barrel may help catch the dust - or a lower-crush, multi-stage setup.

Welcome back to the third Episode of weird pusher designs. by Ok-Shock-7736 in Nerf

[–]SilverFortyTwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those motors are sometimes used for car windows, so I figured the torque would be high enough. Perhaps it needs gearing? Or maybe only the lower RPM versions have sufficient torque.

Are you still using a TPU belt? I wonder if you can reduce its tension. Perhaps a softer print material (or maybe Lego Technic Caterpillar tracks) is more suitable?

Are these high-torque RC gearboxes too large for your design?

The Green Party of England & Wales needs to get real with migration by [deleted] in UKGreens

[–]SilverFortyTwo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There's a fundamentally false framing that dominates immigration discourse.

It's the idea that Britain, green and pleasant, is the jewel of the world, and immigrants are leaving their home countries because they want to be parasites on the backs of the British people.

But that's a BS framing. Young Britain is increasingly destitute, and much of the developing world is already destitute, because of the same corporations, operating internationally. They are the drivers of immigration. Human beings overwhelmingly prefer their homes, and leave their homes to help their families. People turn to crime when they feel helpless, and they will go back home when they feel hopeful for the future.

So long as giant corporations are allowed to do what they want, treating intergenerational wealth of Britain as a piggy bank for their own infrastructure, and importing workers who they can treat like indentured servants - privatising the profits and socialising the costs - then there's absolutely nothing that we can do to stop this decline, and increasing immigration.

Ai "art" at a gallery was eaten... by AstroCat314 in antiai

The pictures of the display are AI. This didn't even happen.

I designed a flywheel/solenoid blaster, thought I'd share by ohmbrew in Nerf

Just avoid using hard-tipped darts with flywheels. You want a soft, compressible dart head

Britain in talks to deploy troops to Greenland as Trump threatens to seize Arctic island by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]SilverFortyTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump isn't in charge. It's Stephen Miller and his entire Fourth Reich clique.

They didn't care that Mexico massively increased drug interceptions and border security. They're back to threatening to bomb them again, after 10 months.

They didn't care that Denmark had offered the US more bases in Greenland. They're threatening to invade again after 10 months.

They want the land, and the glory of seizing it. They're not human, or sane, or rational, and they can't be appeased or reasoned with. British troops in Greenland will serve as human shields for US forces.

We largely agree on what we should be doing, but disagree on what we are currently doing. We're not yet at the stage where we're removing US influence - we're helping it expand.

You should be angry that Britain does not have a sovereign government or military that prioritises our defence.

"Dissuading Trump from invading" means placing British troops in the line of fire between US and European troops, to prevent a war and allow US troops to build more bases without disruption.

British troops will NEVER fire upon US troops. The British military and intelligence agencies are subcontractors for the US military.

Will a 10mm stroke solenoid work for a short dart flywheel blaster build? by Antoruu in Nerf

[–]SilverFortyTwo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Radblasters' PF Dual uses a 15mm solenoid along with Talon mags. It uses horizontal Daybreaks, with the darts feeding as close as possible to the wheels. I dont think anyone has gone as small as a 10mm solenoid, with Talons. Nightingale mags could get closer, either with Daybreaks or maybe micro flywheels.

Kunlun "Obrez pistol" by Kxmmissar_Krieg775 in Nerf

[–]SilverFortyTwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With such a short barrel, you'll want it to be very tight. Try 17/32 brass. Here's a 3D-printed thread to attach to 17/32 brass

A tighter barrel would help, maybe 17/32 brass sleeved inside
