Hopefully I don’t double post,
but look into http://www.thehalls-in-bfe.com/GGDT/ For future pneumatic designs, as it stands your current design is fairly inefficient(air resevior is too big). Small caliber air guns work better at small chamber volumes and higher pressures. Also a purpose built valve(either DIY or bought) will increase your fps since it will dump the air faster.

@ Dj_Cereal_Killer:

Nice!

Using absorbent cotton ammo you can immediately treat the wounds you inflict!

Win-win!

Thats pretty intense, I made one also out of Flex ultra 3 inch pipe. I inly build it to about 160 psi or les than 60 pounds of pressure. It shoots tampons… (dont ask) It can be pressurized in many diffrent ways, Pistol C02 canasters or straghit up air pump. Its pretty fun and tampons arent the only thing you can use as ammunition of course.

I tried many kinds of glue when I tried to repair a supersoaker, and none worked, from PVC glue through plastic glue, universal glue, even epoxy, they say hotglue does work a bit since you are suppose to melt/weld that kind of plastic and the heat of hotglue does that somewhat, but even with hotglue I didn’t manage a connection that would hold for more than 10 minutes.
I saw on discovery that they use ‘utrasonic welders’ for some plastic, I wonder if you could fashion one of those at home.

Mind you I am not saying no glue exists, but it’s hard to find one for some plastics, that’s why they sell couplings that work by clamping at the hardware store for pipes made from PP, rather than glue-sock couplings.
And that’s why such plastics are so handy too of course, since almost nothing really sticks to it it’s great for drainpipes for instance.

lol, nerds arguing about nerf guns. You all need to get laid.

I’m not sure why you are bagging on me strider, I was merely commenting upon how this is not particularly inventive, impressive, or usable. Was this, perhaps, *your* project? Is that why you are becoming defensive?

yes, kabuki, you’re the coolest kid in nerf town.

good luck with that.

This is lame. Anyone can build a spud gun with a 1/2″ barrel for nerf darts. I built a small ball valve unit that shoots Nerf balls. Same idea, not hard. Not worthy of Hackaday. This isn’t for office warfare, and no organized Nerf War would ever allow it. If you guys want some truly impressive home made nerf blasters, look at narfhaven.com. Makes this look like amateur night.

.. as long as the plastic is *not* lexan, it can be fused (literally) with most organic solvents (such as methlyene chloride). this stuff is a carcinogen (it’s rated a 3 for health), so take appropriate precautions.

And why no bolt-type action with a slot in the barrel for loading? That’s a hell of a lot easier than removing the barrel completely.

I still prefer the improvised Nerf crossbow-turned-sniper rifle: take one of the old crossbow models, remove the bow, replace the barrel with a slightly longer copper pipe, and replace the firing spring with an improved, more powerful spring and/or apply a heavy-duty elastic strap to the cocking pull-back handle.

The hardest part is acquiring the old crossbow model.

It’s always cool to see how far someone will go in office warfare.

supersoakers can be glued, you have to use the right glue and know what you are doing.

Foam paintballs are hard rubber foam, those make getting hit with a paintball feel like being tickled.
