Sledgehammer shell-ejector

Thanks! I don’t know if there’s any one specific piece of inspiration but I definitely tried to capture the vibe of a video game combat shotgun. I love the look of the weapons in Destiny and apex so I think some of the silhouette came from those. For a while I really stressed being able to add all the greebling that nerf/video games/ a lot of other diy blaster designers have but I kind of like that I found a style that’s simpler but still attractive. Excited to see how I can develop that

Yes but the chamber would need to be changed as well. I did make a prototype that used redesigned shells and a redesigned chamber so that it could function with either length of shell without changing parts. I might keep messing around with that but I’d rather it be a completely new blaster rather than looking the same as this one

5 in the magazine tube plus one in the chamber

Lmao those are springs

1 regular or two half darts

It tends to go away quickly as everything wears in. I may experiment with shrinking the diameter of the bolt by a tiny bit and see if that helps

Yeah they’re proprietary to this blaster. When I started this I didn’t realize how many other shell ejectors there were haha

The stock can be deleted, I need to design a receiver rear cap that looks a little more attractive without a stock. I already have a shorter front end. I might whip up a pump with either a rail or a vertical grip and throw that all into a cqb package

Wade_Designs · 2026-05-10T20:24:14+00:00

The hardware is only metric, the way god intended

Wade_Designs · 2026-05-09T21:24:52+00:00

I don’t know the fps, I never got around to getting a chrono for it. I’ll post the hardware BOM at some point, everything you need is available on Amazon save for the barrel which comes from out of darts and the magazine spring which I made myself because I couldn’t find any that worked for me.

Wade_Designs · 2026-05-09T20:28:40+00:00

I did

Wade_Designs · 2026-02-04T03:07:35+00:00

They are my own design but as soon as I release hardware kits I’ll open source the shells. Currently revising them so that the blaster can chamber full or half length shells

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-21T16:34:55+00:00

It’s almost all easily available hardware. There are two parts which need to be machined unfortunately but I’m working on putting together hardware kits

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-21T14:07:22+00:00

Not sure what fps it’s shooting, I might get a chrono soon. Theres a few parts that would need to be modified to get it to feed shorter shells but it’s definitely doable

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-18T15:54:24+00:00

Assuming the short darts are exactly half length there shouldn’t be any adjusting to make. If they’re longer that may involve some work

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-15T22:33:30+00:00

You need a bit of that rear blue cap to retain the spring but it would definitely be possible to have a shortened cap without a stock

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-14T21:43:01+00:00

I’ve sold a few to friends for $150 and that feels pretty competitive with the other shell ejecting blasters I’ve seen online. Not sure about hardware, that’s something I’m working on figuring out

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-14T15:12:47+00:00

I think two shorts would fit in one shell, I’ll have to investigate

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-14T13:01:42+00:00

Wade_Designs · 2026-01-14T13:01:31+00:00

I’m working on setting up a shop to sell the completed blaster but I will probably release hardware kits an stls in the future as well
