How to make a inexpensive and powerful nerf gun

This is my first instructable, so I tried to make it simple.
The purpose of this instructable is to make a cheap Nerf dart gun that carries 25 rounds and shoots faster than an average Nerf gun.
The main idea is to make a marshmallow shooter which I found is the ideal way to make a pressure shooter for the darts since that is how they are made to be launched.
Most of these steps are very malleable and based upon personal preference. However if you want the desired effect that I have intended, then just follow the given measurements and specifications.

Step 1: Materials

Here are all the materials that are necessary for the project. If there is a parenthesis beginning with pref. then that means that the step can be changed upon preference.
Dart belt from the Nerf Vulcan machine gun
Vulcan darts or velcro darts (belt can carry up to 25 darts at a time

the following are all based upon preference since one can make the gun anyway they'd like.
6 pieces of 9cm (3.5in) of 1" PVC pipe (pref)
1 piece of 21.5cm (8.5in) of 1" PVC pipe (pref)
2 bent pipe connectors
2 T-shape pipe connectors
2 end caps

the only problem i see is that you have to move the front and back of the barrel in order to shoot one bullet, but otherwise cool :)

and i have to ask ;does it work well if you do not use the front of the barrel (e.i. just stick the belt on the front and blow) ?

[lambtech]

yeah, it just doesnt shoot as straight :P

[Spycrab]

ok, cool

I used a half inch or one inch pipe, it fits best for those stream line darts.

[EaglesSoar09]

r u sure u use 1 inch PVC?

[lambtech]

No :P but thats what it measured on the tape measure :) if you want to be sure just take a dart with you when you go to home depot or whatever. whichever one it fits snuggly into is the rights one :P

[geekazoid]

wat kinda range can u get out of it? thanks

[lambtech]

As far as your able to blow. I can get it about as far as the longshot.

looks hard to reload

[lambtech]

It would be if you didn't have the vulcan dart belt

[Schooniedude]

how fast is that? it doesn't look like you could load that fast.

[lambtech]

It's pretty fast once you get good at it. I'm able to shoot it faster than the nerf rifle most of the time.
