Floating Water Park Game!!

So I took an x-shot longshot and did a few mods to it. Stock this thing shoots 140fps on average.

Put in a metal plunger tube, K25 spring, 9 bearing BSCAR, angled foregrip, and a nicer 45cm long 13nm barrel anodized red. I'm now hitting 230-240fps on average.

Nothing too big :3c

Two perfectly normal Stryfes. Nothing wrong with one of them. It is a totally normal nerf blaster ^^

A Nerf Ball Turret Complete With FPV

Sentry turrets have long been a feature of science fiction films and video games. These days, there's nothing stopping you from building your own. [otjones99] has done just that, with his FPV Nerf Ball launcher.

The system works on the basic principle of launching soft foam balls via a pair of counter-rotating wheels. It's a remarkably simple way of electrically launching projectiles without a lot of fuss and mucking around, and it works well here. A blower fan is used to gently roll ammunition towards the launcher wheels as required. There's a hopper-style clip which uses a servo to drop one ball at a time into the launching tube.

An Arduino Uno is responsible for slewing the turret, and handling the firing process. A joystick is fitted with an NRF24L01 radio module to send signals to the Arduino to aim the turret, while an FPV camera mounted on the turret allows the user to remotely see what the turret is aiming at. With a simple pull of the joystick's trigger, the turret opens fire.

It's a fun build, and one that shouldn't do too much damage to anything given the soft pliable nature of the Nerf ammunition. Of course, if you don't want to aim your turret yourself, you can always go ahead and build yourself an automated sentry gun. Video after the break.

3D Printing A Long Range Nerf Blaster

The modified Nerf scene used to be about getting the absolute maximum performance out of Hasbro's off-the-shelf foam dart blasters. The community quickly found the limits of plastic parts made down to a price, and an underground market for heavier springs and CNC-machined upgrades sprung up. Eventually, however, the advent of 3D printing and cheaper home machine tools led to a rise in popularity of bespoke blasters. [Zach] has long advocated for their supremacy, and has made a long-range blaster aimed at newcomers to the hobby. (Video, embedded below.)

The blaster is built around the popular Caliburn spring-powered design, originally created by [Captain Slug]. Modifications by [Zach] involve a longer barrel, relocated side-feeding magazine port, and other modifications designed to suit the long-range sniping role. There's even a special "rifled" stabiliser on the end designed to reduce the effects of muzzle blast from disturbing the dart as it leaves the barrel.

It's a design that very much builds on the efforts of the wider Nerf community, and is all the better for it. [Zach] has shared files and links to parts bundles to help get enterprising builders up and running with a minimum of fuss. We'd love to take the long blaster out for a round or three ourselves - it may just be time to fire up the 3D printer!
