Hey, I’d be happy to have one nowadays!

Everything Herbert said, plus my own two cents:

For better or worse, I tend to angle the blasters across the whole frame. I guess I’m trying to get it as large as I can unless I’m trying to stage something differently.

That was my guess, too. Too bulky, too heavy, too much stuff for too little gain.

All that said, I’d get a good giggle if someone actually tried it.

That is a wonderful heap of old school cool right there

Okay, I think I got it. Because the stupid thing spins around when you try drilling from the front, I had to drill through the plunger tube. Thought I was going to shoot through the back of the barrel for a minute.

Now not only does it work, but it kinda takes off now. I don’t own a chronograph, so I just go by the Whoa Test, i.e. I shoot it and go “whoa, that looks fast!”

I reposted over on Nerfhaven after Reddit went dark. Long story short: I got a water blaster from Five Below, drilled off the tip, and found it makes a good no-fuss HAMP with modular barrels.

Then I found out I could strap it to the side of my longbow as a cheap replica Airow Gun. Not as good as the real deal, but good enough for me. An “eh-row,” if you will.

THEN I found out today that it has some much oomph behind it, I can just use a large pipe and tissue paper wadding to shoot almost anything that fits, and here we are.

I don’t think there’s any debris. A little bit of air restrictor I can’t quite get out, but it’s shoved out of the way just by putting a dart in. I added some silicone grease for good measure, so it’s all lubed up. And the sealing ring is stock, which worked fine before.
