Pump action singled LS.



I didn't like the feel of a Tee for priming my Longshot, so I decided to make a pump grip for the front. I plan to hook up a wye soon, so stay tuned. Pics below.

Longstrike Preview

So here is a little sneak peak on my Longstrike with UMB internals
I finished installing so ' Tacticool ' Led's and I have to say , They are BRIGHT. Here are some pictures
They are much brighter in real life.

Bright Lights

Ten Epic Points to whoever can translate the orange poster's title , you can see the LED's have been integrated quite cleanly.

Singled Longshot+Paintjob (Updated)

I spent the past hour singling this, I plan to add a hopper+slamfire eventually. Using slingshot darts, this hit 80' flat. I need a longer barrel I think, but I'm happy for now. More after the split.

UPDATE: I attached a legit rail piece to my sight, put in a white tooth on the tactical rail and enabled the gun to prime via the newly added jam door. I still need to figure out a better priming method though.

Have a broken blaster? Arctic Nerf wants it!

Have you attempted to modify a Praxis, only to find out that you don't know how to reassemble it? Do you have broken blasters that you just plan on throwing away? Instead of throwing the blaster away, why not donate it to Arctic Nerf's Blaster Recycling Program? We'll either pay you to ship it to us and then keep the blaster or you pay shipping (And a small fee) and we'll send it back once it's fixed. If you're interested, email IceCubed@ArcticNerf.com and I'll help you figure out if the blaster is worth saving, if it can be saved and which member of the Arctic Nerf team you should send it to. We look forward to hearing from you.

RETALIATOR UNLEASHED!

Hey guys BlackBoarderV here ,
So I was browsing on the OMW website and looked at the unleashed section

What Do I see: RETALIATOR UNLEASHED! 


They seem to have the standard stuff:
Trigger Catch
2x double strength trigger catch spring
Useless Reinforcement Plate ( from observing the pictures)
5+kg mainspring

Also pre-order customers will receive a metal trigger.

It costs $12.99 to pre-order it, this is cheaper than other kits due to the fact that elite blasters cost more.

OMW claims 75 foot ranges flat and 85ft range with a 30 degree angle.

Estimated release date: 30th October 2012.



"
Retaliator Stage 1 kit is nearing completion and will be available
for preorder later today, September 14. Our planned release date
for this kit is Tuesday, October 30, so mark your calendars! The
kit will consist of the standard Stage 1 kit parts: 5kg spring,
trigger catch, trigger catch spring and reinforcement plate.
Preorders will also include a complimentary metal trigger.
    Furthermore, as the price of the Elite series is increased compared
to the N-Strike series, we've decided to lower the price of the
Retaliator's Stage 1 kit to $12.99. We feel that this is a fair
compromise and we think you'll agree.

    If you wish to purchase a spring on its own, those will be
available for purchase next week for the price of $6.00.'

 Here is a post from their Facebook Page

Promising results with Retaliator/Rampage springs so far. 95 to 105 FPS in the Retaliator, 90 to 100 in the Rampage. Curious results, though... there is really no appreciable difference that we saw to justify removing the air restrictors in these blasters. We didn't get a chance to test the Retaliator, but the Rampage performed nearly identically with and without the air restrictor in there. '

And here is the email they send out after I first found out about it

Anyway, I've heard that people are cancelling their immortal kits, because of such a long wait , so will this ever come out, even with this October 30th Date?

Modding Fail

I was testing the penetration power of my Titan with a BB barrel, it turned into a test of the barrel's penetration. It was still kind of awesome though.

Rayven Rebarrel and Wiring Experiment


Those of you who read SGNerf's posts have probably heard that when you get above a certain voltage with the Rayven, your darts start sticking in the barrel. This is a demonstration of how I fixed that issue so I could use my blaster at higher voltages. Later, we'll see a new way to wire your Flywheel guns to (hopefully) achieve better ranges.

Halloween Maverick

I know Halloween is almost 2 months away but I couldn't wait any longer to post this.

I am happy to announce that the ranges of this blaster did not decrease after I individualized the barrels.





Ranges of this blaster are 35-45 feet flat.


Sorry if the the post seems choppy. This is my first post using mobile blogger. Frost out....
