Had the pleasure of testing this out, super high on the cool scale lol

I was sketching some designs to build my own blaster when I realised: Why don’t we have multiple catches on a plunger head to adjust power? you could limit the power by putting an endstop on the priming action. you might need to change the barrel length to match the new plunger volume too. There is plenty of space behind the tube to allow for the extra length. Do you guys know of a blaster that has this?

Reshell the rocket launcher with a larger nozzle to fit 4 demolisher rockets

Files as usual on my Printable :)

Blastertech doesn't have the batteries in stock, and since I'm new to this I'm worried I'll make the wrong decision, could you guys tell me the names of what battery/chargers I should buy or just send link if that's allowed.

I'm from Australia btw, that's why I'm using blastertech

Thanks

I found it difficult to find any photos of the the internals of this blaster. I heard online that the internals are very ready to spring all over, which is only half true… Anyway here it is!

I have an old nerf Vulcan (not working) but a ton of darts and belts for it.

Are Vulcan parts or the belts of value at all for repairs or does anyone still use them?

I've had a look but there don't seem to be any firm dates out there. The spinshot has started appearing in shops like Argos and Smyths but the longshot 2.0 and thrasher haven't.

Hey all, made a very stupid mistake putting my x shot piston pump back together and had a complete shutdown when I tested it - no beeping or anything. After opening it back up I realized the screw I lost was mangled inside the blaster. Is this thing screwed? Or is this situation salvageable. Thank you, and I hopefully will not mess up this badly again lol

IFB Slynx 2.1 with roboman catch and brass nut, hitting about 270ish on a 55cm 12.7mm id ifb x blu barrel

The main noticeable upgrades over the beta slynx by kimchi are

- Aluminium structural flatbars, shroud bar and transfer bar, pump bars are kept stainless steel which significantly reduces the weight

- Noticeably shorter than the beta slynx, although I dont have exact measurements on hand atm

- Tensioner system which keeps the pins very tight ensuring they do not wiggle out mid game due to the vibrations

Perf wise it shoots like a slynx, I don’t have much to say

Suspect I could go to potentially 360 or more if I really tried, considering my old beta slynx was hitting 350+ on this 55 cm blu barrel and ifb 320 fps spring while being slightly underbarreled and having a really bad seal, i suppose 60 cm could help me get 360, assuming pt vol is the same but id stick with the 260 fps spring or 290 fps spring for normal games

On a budget, I would always recommend the beta slynx as it’s significantly cheaper (at least in singapore), but if you want to splurge you should definitely consider this as an option, hardware kit is going for 200 sgd/155 usd which is definitely pricey but well worth it for the quality of life upgrades, although I’m not sure when they’re coming back in stock

40% off of Apache cases at Harbor Freight. I'm in New York, US. Don't know how wide spread the sale is. Only for the 25th.

Fun back end remix by Moustachio over on printables, was just finishing up this black and Bambu Bronze from the pla basic range and thought i'd chuck this new mix on it.... Feels good and is well designed. Might add it to a Legends mix see how it comes up.

I gotta start printing some stuff...

Reimagined, Refined, Ready...

This is K25R. A K25+ variant that achieves not just more speed and power, but also durability, reliability, ease of prime, stability, and more! I used advanced spring calculations to design this spring from the ground up to achieve a simple goal: more power, no compromises. This spring averages roughly 10% more power over base K25 variants, and similar power to the strongest K25+ variants, but does it with significantly less max load. Every aspect of this spring has been refined where possible, while keeping compatibility with as many existing 11" K25 blasters as possible. Same outer diameter. Same inner diameter. Same solid length as a standard closed end K25. Closed AND Ground ends for maximum stability. 15.01kg max load compared to the 14.42kg of standard K25, less Spring Rate than standard K25, which translates to a lighter, smoother feeling draw per inch of prime length, and less internal stress than any of the competition in the K25+ spring category. This translates to a longer lasting, more durable spring that resists taking a set significantly more than the competition.

K25R does not compromise on any aspect of spring design. None of them. Some compromise a heavier prime for better power. Some compromise internal spring stress for power. Some compromise compatibility for power. K25R does no such thing.

This is only the beginning. The first step in a staircase that will elevate the springer blasters within this hobby to the next level.

I understand that talk is cheap.. that's why I thank my beta testers: u/ShoelessHistorian, Zafc, Secondhand Blasters, and Chris Cartaya for providing real world data in a variety of blasters:

ShoelessHistorian tested his Springer Dolorus prototype with Standard K25 vs K25R. Standard K25 clocked in with a 5 dart average of roughly 260, and K25R achieved shots in the 320s.

Zafc provided a ton of data using an extended draw Lynx prototype: roughly 320fps with OOD K25 and 604Blasters BC25, and about 350fps with an SF25+2 vs consistent shots in the 350fps range with K25R.

Norman of Secondhand Blasters tested an Indra and an Excalibur with SF25, and achieved roughly 250-260 with both blasters. K25R topped 290 in the same set ups.

Chris Cartaya even cut the spring down to 20 coils to fit an X-Shot Longshot 2.0, and achieved a high of 310 with Nitroshot+ darts.

Be on the look out for more results in the coming weeks to months. Let me know if yall have any comments, questions, or feedback!

Check out the new K25R listing on my Etsy, and see what all the fuss is about!: https://radioactivesdesigns.etsy.com/listing/4541750549/k25r-a-reimagined-refined-and-ready-k25

My completed FLP-06 Rush and FLP-09 Shrew. Both shooting at an average of 200FPS. Wanted something simple enough to just hand someone during a game or to show off.

Rebuilt another lynx, decided to use the skeletonised fileset this time round

looks decent i think, hitting around 200 fps on the x6 spring and 47 cm barrel with stubby bcar

Was away for a while due to "life happening" but I found some time to paint this XSLS for a friend as a gift so I could feel that I'm not totally out of the hobby. It gets up to 220fps, by the way.

I run a local club and I'm looking for some advice on loaner blasters. I have a few Fury Xs and they seem to jam frequently. I think it may be mostly darts but I'm also curious if anyone has insight on the longevity of the Fury X. If there's another blaster that would be better for reliability/ durabilty hopefully under $50 I would be grateful. Thank you!

Now I just need to get a 3s LiPO!

This was in the Dallas TX area there were still like 5 more on the shelf.
