r/Nerf

Thank you to Valtek Armory

Managed to sight the Mega Barrett and tighten up the groupings with half megas 🤘🏼

After tuning I highly appreciate the quick spring swaps Gavin engineered into this. Just two take down pins and that’s it. I’ve put a few hundred darts through and the metal internals show no sign of use.

I agree the full mega mag looks better but when compared to half mega the groupings are wider with full.

Gavin’s Mega Barrett SMC, hitting about 180fps. Configured for half mega.

I have found some stores who sell it but most of them are either scams or very expensive. Does anyone know what the brand/model name is?

Hi all. I found this halo rifle at a garage sale but it didn't have the magazines. Have tried finding but so far no luck.

Am hoping to find the magazine dimensions so I can print them. Or even better find replacements so I can use it.

Any info is much appreciated, so thanks in advance

Edit, was incorrect on the brand. Is not nerf, so looking like it may be a lost cause.

Remix of a remix. Thought it wouldn’t be too hard to remix a Scorpion to make it look like Phantom from VALORANT. Will probably use it as a cosplay prop. (Ontos V2 hardware)

I opened up my Nexus X2’s foregrip to get a feel for replacing it and found these 2 parts inside it. They appeared to just be floating. Could anyone tell me what they are for please

Here's the Jolt, Alpha Trooper, and Roughcut as robot girls!

The whole gijinka-ing idea is very much inspired by thencontest's Nerf gals except instead of the whole line, it's the individual blasters (but robots)

This is such a fun hand canon... @ 220fps it rivels full size blasters.. if built right you get a super smooth easy to prime well balanced great feeling blaster. Cudos again to Ash for a terrific design.... Can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

Hi all, this is my latest project, The Flaming Vulture". My 50th bday present to myself funded by bday gift vouchers from friends and fam.

Some of the mods include:

37mm id polished plunger (a very tight fit)

Polished inner barrel,

Flowed bolt and ram,

Secret dart and accessories stash compartment in stock,

Fiber front sight,

Extended barrel.

Flames!!

A really fun build this one, i enjoyed every moment of it, from concept to the final results... but do buy the kit for it as hand fabrication of the levers would be quite time consuming.

Even made a pretty display stand for it.

Hope you like it as much as i do, its definitely my favourite blaster atm.

The manta ray is more of a teal than blue, but let’s keep that between us.

My own arasaka inspired xshot mpp build lmk what yall think. Fyi, the red dot and iron sights r not the actual ones i have on my blaster. This is photoshop

Xshot break barrel available at Target in the US. Says it arrives 7/10. I did snag the last one to ship but not sure if that’s regional. Product page is up at least and it will be making its way.

So I have been using fastmags for my full length magazines, and im thinking of getting these to fit into the holsters to use talon mags. Anyone have experience doing this? Because i already have the holsters set up and I dont really want to get another magazine holder, thanks

Gavin’s Mega Barrett, configured for half mega darts.

First impression when hardware arrived was that there was a lot of metal 🤘🏼 including aluminum plunger tube, rod, sear and bearing assisted prime. The details in the aesthetics are excellent. Like other Gavin builds the instructions are clear and the build process is straightforward. Included springs for varying fps ~140-200.

I’ll post video sometime soon!

I’ve finished my Lightning collection (for now lol) with dyed lowers, 3 slide colors and 3 different micro red-dots that I like. My Lailaps remain in their boxes lol.

Since my post 2 weeks ago on trigger response, more Lailaps have gotten into content creator hands and more recently 40Max have put out a new metal trigger. I’ve ordered it for fun but until it arrives, my 2 cents:

1. PSA: The trigger pin is very difficult to punch out, much moreso than the rear takedown pin. I cracked 3 lowers removing triggers to prep for dye before I said fuck it and left it in (which worked fine). The cracked lowers would probably hold up to normal use, just be forewarned.

2. Somewhere along production 40Max went from a symmetrical main trigger spring to a single-sided spring. These new triggers have a lighter pull, but also less distinct 2-stage trigger travel, since the internal D-trigger spring is fighting against a weaker main trigger spring. The result is a bit of mushiness, but no change to functionality, because…

3. The inner D-trigger blade is the only part that hits both the pre-spin button and the fire button. On trigger pull, the surface marked A hits the lower pre-spin button first, then the surface marked B hits the upper fire button. The outer trigger doesn’t actuate anything. Problem is…

40Max says this about their new metal trigger:

Key Features

•Newly designed metal trigger for improved durability

•Clear and distinct two-stage trigger feel

•Faster and easier pre-spin activation (when Pre-Spin is enabled in settings)

•Improves hot-start firing performance and trigger response

•Comfortable metal texture for better finger feel

•Long-lasting and wear-resistant construction

From what I understand, these 2 improvements are not possible by only changing trigger geometry, and improving “two-stage trigger feel” does nothing for responsiveness when you panic-fire to get a dart out because only 1 part of the trigger does the firing. Maybe they have made it so both actuation surfaces reset a bit closer to their target buttons but this only shortens the effective trigger travel and would only improve trigger response by how much less time it takes for your finger to travel that shorter distance: Single-digit miliseconds, if at all. Even that has issues, because if the buttons bottom out before the trigger does, over time the buttons will surely break. Many considerations.

No, they likely need a software or electronic solution to fix their Lailaps, if there even is a one. Trigger geometry ain’t it.

I’m expecting these new triggers to arrive next week and even then I’m not sure how I will install them since I’m tired of breaking my stuff. We’ll see.
