Nerf Gun Modification

Step 6 Fire!!

Feed the PVC tubing into the back hole of the gun(only about an inch or so). You can duct tape it to the gun if you'd like(thats what i did). Make sure the valve is closed and use a bike pump or air compressor to pump up the chamber. I forgot to add a gauge to see how much air is in it. Pump it up to what you think is right. Im not reasponsable if you blow it up. It should be no more than about 20psi. Load a foam dart in the end of the barrel and make sure it slides down to touch the end of your PVC tubing. Simply Turn the valve( faster the better) and Swoosh, the dart will go flying. I shot about 30 yards with it. Tell me how far yours will go. And please, dont use a projectile that could hurt someone, stick with the foam darts. They are still very much fun. Thanks.

That's sweet i'll if you want to make the gun more fun, stick a needle or nail through the back of the dart and push it through until it comes through the top of the dart, and then you have a hunting dart!!! I did it to my n-strike nite finder

 i did that to my longshot
it takes a while to figure out the perfect length though

Also, if one is going to use this on the field, then it seems like a bit of an unwieldy process to pump it up with a bike pump or an air compressor. Is there a way to tape the bike pump onto the gun as well? Would that work?

perhaps interchangable air chambers?

you could have a small compressor, like one small enough to fit into a back pack, and have it connected to the fill valve. if the compressor has a lock on the head, then your good. simply use a smaller section of pvc pipe, so that your pressure builds quicker, then you essentially have an unlimited amount of air, pressure, and power! (without the pain of carrying the compressor by hand.

Where would you put the gauge if you added one?

I like it, but you can get more range with the sniper pistol. Maybe replacing the pvc with a soda bottle for higher psi, and some barrel modifications.

Very nice instructable! I give you very good credit! I love the idea you have come up with, A pneumatic Nerf gun! Very nice and impressive! Fine Job!
