Clip fed Semi-Auto Nitefinder

Hey guys ive been thinking bout this 4 a while and ill draw up some plans after school tomorrow. Let me no wat you think!

Ok Well i was thinking about puttin the clip over the barrel like a buzzbee 10 shot clip thingo
i dont kno wether to use a nerf clip or make oone

ok well basicall i was thing citting the top of the barell off and putting a indent in the clip so yoy can slide it on

the semi auto part come from the clip obviously but so the darts dont just all fall down i was thinking about cutting in at each end of the clip and sliding a piece of food in so when you pull it out the dart falls into place and so on

i think thats about it i no it sounds confusing but it will HOPEFULLY make sence with the plans

let me no wat u think

Dec

oh thats heaps nice. no concept threads.

post AFTER you've done it

Aj

is it just me or is noone intrested in this

Its been done and you posted before you did it do yeh

that isnt the same thing as mine

I'm gonna bump this... because I've actually made what I think is what the thread creator had intended.



Basically, cut off the barrel up to the plunger, epoxy 20mm conduit breech barrel (using my idiot breech method), use rubber bands because I have weak ass springs inside.

I finished it at 1:45am so I haven't been able to range test. If you stalk my posts, you will also know I've been looking for NF springs to improve performance. So this is still a WIP.

Pretty cool, but it's been done heaps of times before and it's not semi-auto. A Barricade is semi-auto, this is still single shot with a little easier reload. Plus, it's kind of lame anyway, no offence 2120 (at least you actually made one)

I actually think it's pretty cold. I think you should cut a groove for the clip to sit on so it looks more cleaner.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that cause it sways a bit, probably not cut a groove though but add columns on either side, because the opening happened to be parallel to where the shell ends.

@Mozart, I understand your opinion, and I'm actually getting a barricade. My theory is that this is cheaper, and with the right springs could go further than a barricade.

That! And as a Nerfer we need to look for cheap and innovative solutions in purchasing cheap Nerf Blasters that can still perform at a high standards against other more 'expensive' making blasters.

Anyone could purchase a Longshot, but doesn't help that it costs an extra $100 to max out, or $50 and that includes reinforcing everything. = EFFORT.

When you think of it like that, a TS dominates most blasters.

Cheap + Easy = BIG ranges

Yeah, Nite Finders are better than Barricades in my opinion, but this is simply not semi-auto. Even with the breech connected to the priming handle somehow, then spring loaded to close on it's own after you prime it, you still have to prime it in between each shot.

I never said Barricades are better, I used them as a reference for proper semi-auto.

@Unknown - yeap as you saw my Triple Shot RSCB'd. It was getting so much range for such a small cost. I wish I thought of this earlier!

@Mozart - No need to get OCD :P. It's just that the title says that you assumed that 2120 didn't know what semi-auto was lol. He just said what the original author may of intended.

@2120 - c836 spring is the way to go for NiteFinders. They get some serious range (80-90ft), doesn't require much effort, and light weight so you can manouvre better.

Aren't the TS' renowned for trigger catch issues, and disintegration of key structural points of the blaster shell?

Yeah, thanks littlebro haha. No it's not semi-auto, but I googled "clip fed nitefinder" and this oznerf thread appeared on Google. Now if the thread creator goes here and thinks his thread has been "hijacked", well I'm happy to move on to a new thread (I actually had damn pictures)

Also regarding C-386, I had bad experiences last time where the screw ports of the plunger tube fell off due to the power of the spring. So right now I'm a bit weary.

@clunk - yes, yes they are. That's why you should do MIG's structural improvements. But that costs money too, with the hot glue, backing rod (for muffling), epoxy putty, etc.

Sorry, not exactly what I meant, hahaa. 2120's is pretty cool, while pretty simple too. I think it's the same deal as Clunk's set up on his Titan. Honestly, it just shits me that this guy titled it 'Semi-Auto Nite Finder' because it isn't and he didn't even do it. And the only reason this thread is worth looking at is because 2120 posted his and now we're talking about that. Just annoying.

I've got a TS being delivered soon, so I'll look in to that. The cost is of little importance to me, but reliability is a huge factor. Cheap + easy doesn't always equate to a good blaster, and doesn't always allow the full testing of modding ability. I realise alot of people don't have disposable income to make the "flashy blaster's", but you only get what you pay for.

Sounds like there's gonna be a showdown between LB's TS and my LS in the near future

@Mozart, yeh, it looks very similar to the clip-fed breech on my Titan, except I've got the groove for the clip, so it doesn't sway around much. It's not the prettiest of mods, but with some blaster's, it's the only option due to limited internal space.

hey clunk, do you have a picture of your "clip groove"? I'm gonna work on that part for my gun sometime this week.

The temptation with the TS is that, you see the plunger tube and the spring, and you instantly think you're onto a winner. But the cheapness of the plastic kinda ruins the party, so you gotta stregthen that. Just to stay on topic.. I think I might add some epoxy putty to my NF when the C386 spring comes on.

I've actually binned the breech I had on there - it just wasn't up to standard.

You'll probably have yours finished before I even start looking at making a replacement. Sorry I can't be of any help.

This is getting grossly off-topic.
