Told you I would... and it WORKS!

Of course my camera skills were failing and the picture I took of the whole gun was shite and the cameras out in the workshop, soooo, I'll upload another picture soon, anyway, here's the All Australian +Bow.. still working on a name.
The seal needs to be worked with to make it perfect, but another time.
Ranges: Unknown, although it hits pretty hard.

EDIT: Vid is up:

Very nice work there goblin boy, can't wait to see it in action.

Gooni.

Very good job, especially with the limited materials here. Out of curiosity, how strong was the spring you used?

Slight correction in the video with the type of foam though, open cell is where the pores are connected while closed cell isn't. Both types can be made in tube (as with Informer's foam) or rod form.

Nevertheless, congratulations on it, definitely hit a six with this one!

Just call it the rapebow. Nah joking, the AusBow, the one Aj (adelaide) was meant to do, but never got around to it.

Nice, like really nice I wish I had the patience AND skills.

There Li'lbro.

You mean, patience AND skills.

Chad's said it once, and I'll say it again, stop making the younger members of this forum look so incompetent! Lol.

This is the only exception to the all Aussie materials, its a Singaporean K26

Nice video. You look so much more different then I expected.

Mad props bro!

Aj

aj, haha,
I sent you a PM about the Ausbow like a month ago and then this comes out.
It's awesome.

Very nice dude. I'm impressed.

Where did you get the nylon rod and clear acrylic tube?

I got them form a plastics supplier here in Adelaide, I've been getting most of my stuff from there lately.
Menzels Plastics, although, some of the stuff can be fairly expensive.

Oh and on a side note, despite they major in irrigation supplies, the didn't know what a PVC Wye was

- Brad

Does the supplier have good barrel materials for stock darts?

On topic: Thats a great clean mod, I saw one of these on NerfHaven and it was awesome, I didn't know we would have the materials here

Yes they do, but if you don't want to spend $9 a meter, (like i did) your better off using 16mm conduit (form electrical suppliers)

Sweet thanks

How much does the nylon rod and the acrylic tube cost? We are having trouble finding it here.

Nylon rod was about $5 a meter and the Acrylic tubing was $37 a meter
although, I had to get these specially ordered in.

What was the overall production cost? Estimate if you need.
