as i already said, battering ram is a conversion kit for sillybutts breacher that uses his sillyshell box magazines, and replaces the entire midsection of the blaster!

i began developing this kit simply because i dislike how long it takes to reload breacher (i never got particularly good at it) and personally i was never able to get mine to feed reliably.

currently i have only the first basic prototype that still has many issues, but it is coming along. i am hoping to release this blaster at the same time as silly releases anvil.

note: the reason the images above have greebling on the magwell and the one in the video does not is cause the image above is a newer version

all questions and comments are welcome, and i will try my best to answer any questions to the best of my ability. :)

Hello everybody! i have just released an altered pusher for the leedle dynamics mantis shrimp that has a hole in the end of it in order to prevent any potential vacuum loading and, in my case, save my darts from splitting in the center from the negative pressure. in my case this has also made the action feel DRAMATICALY better when chambering a dart. i hope you all enjoy this!

NOTE: this was released WITH PERMISSION from leedle dynamics.

i have completed the first prototype of the nite owl stringer, and have made some improvements to the overall design! for anyone who doesn't know, the nite owl is a variant of my gladius modular stringer with the turnarounds removed, and several things improved upon. this also means it can accept gladius grips and slides. the main feature is it has a option for a tpu buffer in the slide, which would greatly dampen the sound of it firing, (i have not printed it yet, as i do not have a multi color system. I'm working on it). going even further into the "suppressor" aspect of the blaster, per someones suggestion, i have designed printed slide rails that have the tops ironed to eliminate the scratching sound when priming. I also finally got a printed detent release to actually work, as seen in one of the above photos. hopefully alpha testing will start relatively soon, but that depends on how soon i can get it out of the "prototype" phase. any questions about the project are welcome! (and for the many of you who are about to ask, YES, I AM STILL WORKING ON BASILISK)

the spatha is a low hardware string powered plunger blaster that is an 8 round one-handable revolver, meant to be a kind of 3d printed alternative to the very popular but increasingly rare hammershot. going for the same kind of slapped-together industrial/ homemade estetic that was so popular with the zombiestrike blasters. its Standard capacity is 8 rounds, it is single action hammer primed, it is able to be rear loaded with the optional cutout pieces pictured here. it can use both full length and short darts, and has a pivoting trigger. it uses the same plunger tube as a caliburn SPACER PT (3”), and will have versions with AND without hardware. its normal cylinder IS fixed in place ,and the blaster can be configured to be fully ambidextrous. the cosmetic hex nuts are actually integrated into the blasters shell, and will have an option for heatset inserts, to be able to use midlock/ fidlock holster systems. hopefully stock it will hit about 105 fps with full length darts.

some updates i have:

added my own custom zombiestrike logo

modified the grip geometry to be more comfortable

added more cosmetic detailing

began working on a cutout spot for the break-barrel front

finished modeling the triggerguard, it looks like the ratchet bit on the end of a combo wrench

modeled up the pic rail for the top of the blaster

continued working on the cylinder indexing mechanism, now able to index the cylinder manually, due to a disconnect ratchet between the actual mechanism and cylinder

modeled up the in-line clip cylinder for 16 short darts.

things i still need to implement or are already working on are as follows:

-going to add a variant with a c-clamp as a hand guard with the screw at the bottom acting as a quick swap door for springs

-need to start working on the power mechanism in the grip, there will be two different variants, one without hardware (using elastic) and one with hardware (using SLAB length springs)

-model 1 or two alternate hammers for different peoples ergo-preferences

-going to implement a sling loop in the grip that looks like rebar

-a built in TPU knife on the bottom, and i also want to make a variant of it that looks like two saw-Zall blades.

- a cylinder for n-1 darts and cutdown n-1 darts.

-going to continue working on the cosmetics of the blaster

-a break-open barrel for quick-swappable cylinders 

-a 5 round MEGA cylinder  

-longer in-line clip cylinders to hold more darts

-a MEGA in-line clip cylinder (for experimentation)

as always, any questions are very welcome, and if you have anything you would like to see with this project, please say it! this is meant to be a blaster FOR THE COMMUNITY!

some updates i have:

finished modeling the base for the grip, i really like how it looks

essentially finished modeling the base for the back end of the blaster since my last post

made a basic hammer and trigger for it, which will have many variants of the style for different peoples ergo preferences

the cosmetic hex nuts are actually integrated into the blasters shell, and will have an option for heatset inserts, to be able to use midlock/ fidlock holster systems.

made the new muzzle pictured here, looks far better than the previous one in my opinion.

and finally, made a bunch of prototype parts to work on and finish the cylinder indexing mechanism, and it works "relatively" well.

things i still need to implement or are already working on are as follows:

-still need to model the picatinny rail

-still need to model the triggerguard (going to have a version that looks like the ratcheting bit on the end of a combination wrench)

-going to impliment a sling loop in the grip that looks like rebar

-still need to do a bunch of cosmetic work to make it look more like zombiestrike, and overall polish up the desighn

-An Inline clip cylinder for 16 darts (short darts)

-a break-open barrel for quick-swappable cylinders 

-a 5 round MEGA cylinder   -longer in-line clip cylinders to hold more darts

-a MEGA in-line clip cylinder (for experimentation)

opened up my bbb to install the sillyshell adapter https://www.printables.com/model/1199060-nerf-big-bad-bow-silly-shell-adaptor

now it won’t seal no matter what I do. I have the o-ring on the front of the adapter, so I know that’s not the issue. please help.

basilisk is a single shot rear pull silly shell blaster that is based on a concept from like 5 years ago. Zombie Strike Survivalist, a poorly made shotgun : r/Nerf personally, zombie strike is my favorite subseries from nerf ever, so i love doing stuff like this. ANY QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME!

Right up front, I have something I need to get out of the way. THIS IS NOT A REMIX OF THE LANKA 2 BY LEEDLE DYNAMICS! THIS IS A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL BLASTER DESIGNED BY ME THAT JUST HAPPENS TO SHARE ESTHETICS AND BE INSPIRED BY THE LANKA 2!

“what is the gladius?”

• Cosmetically is based on the lanka 2 by leedle dynamics (link to blaster)
• Very smooth prime
• Fast to reload 
• Decent performance (100+ FPS)
• Cheap to build (only requires elastic cord 3-6mm in diameter, everything else is printed)
• Uses a lanka 2 style mag release 
• Easy to assemble and print 
• Extremely modular 
• Multiple different slides (normal, bucket handle, and t-pull)
• Multiple different grips for different types of magazines (straight talon, angled talon, and nightingale)
• Two different types of pivoting triggers
• Uses turnarounds to remain compact 
• Holster is work-in-progress
• able to be openly remixed into new designs 
• Completely free to download

 

if you have a Bambu lab printer, please use the MakerWorld link, it has all parts in the correct print orientations and correct settings

You should go build one, it’s really cool!

i can’t wait to see all the cool stuff you guys make from this platform!

EDIT: i apologize for the links not working initially, they should be working now.

Nite owl is meant to fill a similar niche as the leedle dynamics satekieli: a quiet secondary/sidearm stringer

essentially its just a gladius without the turnaround and with a shorter draw, BUT it also has an optional integrated TPU buffer in the front to reduce noise of it firing (requires toolchanger printer or dual feed toolhead like the H2 or X2 series printers)

also uses gladius grips and slides, so you can use whatever mags you have depending on what grip you print, and whatever slide you find most comfortable.

 the gladius is a mag-in-grip, top slide primed pivoting trigger fully modular stringer blaster,  with the ability to quick swap muzzles, different types of elastic, different grips for different types of mags (talon, angled talon, nightingale, 31k, ECT) and different slide options depending on what you prefer. this is just a quick little update on this project. the gladius is now entering the final stages of alpha testing after several months of work. some improvements to this variant include:

- lengthened the priming reinforcement bar by about 25mm to eliminate issues of it locking the blaster open

- increased the pusher length so darts now sit approximately 1.5mm further down the acceleration track to prevent elastic from slipping under and around the dart.

-widened the barrel in the front to prevent issues of darts getting stuck in the elastic turnaround piece

- labeled all pins and pin holes to attempt to effectively "idiot proof" the build

- modified mag catch geometry so it SHOULD now work in locking the mags into the grip and you shouldn't have to keep pressure on the grip anymore.

some new additions include:

-finally finished the angled talon mag grip

- designed a nightingale mag grip to accommodate those with smaller hands. (and its just more comfortable)

- made a true t-pull slide, in case people don't like the "bucket handle" priming slide

- designed a curved trigger, cause some people will just like that better than the flat faced trigger.

- made some cosmetic improvements to the trigger guard to hide the knot in the elastic

- made a cool looking "meat tenderizer" muzzle option

if anyone has any questions, PLEASE REACH OUT ON THIS PLATFORM! I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!

one final note on the gladius: FOR THE LAST TIME, THIS IS NOT A REMIX OF THE LANKA 2 BY LEEDLE DYNAMICS! THIS IS A COMPLEATLY ORIGNAL BLASTER DESIGHNED BY ME THAT JUST HAPPENS TO SHARE ESTETICS AND BE INSPIRED BY THE LANKA 2!
