Anyone ever build this nerf gun?
syph007:
My son wanted a nerf gun for Christmas, and so I get to looking around on the net and find this page.

So of course I had to order the parts and make one. I've got it almost done, it's not a lot of hours to build, maybe 10. It's been a fun little diversion.
Just wondering if anyone else here has made one?
drventure:
Haven't built one but that's an interesting project!
Knave Jack:
Nope, but it looks like fun. I will have to look into that a bit more. Just what i need....another project :banghead: :dizzy: :laugh2:

Ya i was impressed with how easy it's coming together. Should have it finished tonight. The spring in it is really hard to compress, supposed to have a 25 lb pull, which to me seems like alot for a nerf gun? Im wondering what the range of this sucker is going to be. I brought in the partially finished model for some show and tell today in the office and got alot of positive feedback about the feel, and trigger mechanism. Fun little project, I'm always fascinated by the DIY crowd in any area, so I had to give it a go.
I can't believe I never thought of using label paper to print designs on to cut from lexan before... seems so simple but very effective. I had to do very little sanding after cutting the parts out to get them to fit.

That's pretty cool. If you wanted, before assembly, you could use that same adhesive label method and a little sand to engrave some pretty cool patterns on it. Do I see the next version with some sandblasted patterns and LEDs? ;D
