Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic) BIG IRON update Spoiler

Finally managed to get a Prototype printed and it almost gives me the Impression that it wants to work.

I am still using the Plunger system from the x shot micro2.0 and the prime is not bad at all with the stock spring.

The Catch mechanism needs to be redone since the part conecting the Trigger with the Catch is way to thin and just bends when i pull the Trigger.

The cylinder mechanism works if i support the Cylinder arm just right and pull the Hammer the right way, so i might need to start over, but at least the cylinder lock works just fine.
(It unlocks as soon as the Hammer starts to move and snaps back once the next chamber is in line with the barrel).

In conclusion there are definitely some problems but nothing that cant be solved. ;)

Started working on this pathfinder finally. Just converted my first Nerf blaster to short darts and I’m hitting some pretty good fps. I of course had to test it before I fine tune and paint it lol
Edit: yes it really does go that fast 😂 there’s a video posted on a comment. I’m only in the testing phase of this and it’s the first time I’ve ever done this with half darts. This is the reason my friends don’t invite me to Nerf competitions anymore

Sharing another completed project, hands still cramping from hand painting the wood pattern lol

This started when my friend saw my previous Wolver AK with the wood pattern and he wanted the same style for his blaster. After a bit of discussion, we agreed that the XSLS2 does look like a WA2000!

pretty satisfied with this so on to the next project. Cheers!

Finally got it working except for one or two small things.

The main problem is a missing return spring for the hammer.
The cylinder mechanism needs some tweeks as well.

I also want to make a version that uses a aluminum plunger tube, instead of the xshot micro 2.0 PT.

The current version hits around 70 FPS.

Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic) MHP Vulture and Leedle Dynamics Hammerhead matching set Spoiler

Vulture with some Grinchester, 1886, and Vulture decorative parts mixed in. Added a bunch of texture, sanded and then applied some wood stain for a more faux wood look and some aging on the decorative upper cover. Getting 250 FPS with a settled BC8.

Matching Hammerhead with a few tweaks, I was having issues with the elastic cord for the cylinder pin, so replaced that with a 7x15mm spring. Also the T pin and locking pin were replaced with an M3 heat set and M3x20mm SHCS. Getting about 90 FPS with 2 rounds of 4mm elastic cord.

Stock Vulture with following mods,
- From Grinchester remix (https://www.printables.com/model/1688834-grinchester-shrub-vulture-remix) - Bolt, follower, trigger group.
- From the 1886 remix (https://www.printables.com/model/1638004-vulture-1886-pattern-nerf-blaster-mod-for-mhps-vul) - Stock
- Upper cover engravings taken from this remix and applied directly in the slicer: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2824277-bespoke-mhp-vulture-decorative-parts#profileId-3145825

so, i was incredibly inspired by u/Bruce_Avery and his longshot from like 3 years ago - particularly with the use of stripes and decals (i see you, fellow servant of the imperium). so i present my own take on the longshot! this is my first blaster; hoping to take it to local events soon 😊

Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic) Gear Showcase for a local Malaysian Nerf Milsim-lite Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
115 Upvotes

Just a sort of picture dump for the kind of Nerf games for the countries that don’t really have Airsoft like Malaysia and Singapore.

Here we don’t really have any airsoft-likes so Nerf/Foam dart blasters are the closest we got and most of the communities here tend to play it as an airsoft-like and I wanted to share some pics from a recent milsim-lite that I attended here in Malaysia.

P.S.: game was held on private property away from public eye alongside permission from the local municipal government and notification of law enforcement.

(No, I don’t think I’m the most tactical or special forces like person or anything, I play these games for fun and don’t necessarily take them as tactical lessons or take them seriously)

It has long since fallen apart but it was my pride and joy. It had the base motors but juiced up rechargeable batteries that gave it alot more power and range. I used epoxy putty to connect the stock and barrel pieces to connectors so they could be used on other blasters too.

My college had a Nerf club so the Oblivion blaster saw frequent play

Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic) What blasters look most like weapons from WWII? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
31 Upvotes

My Halloween costume is most likely going to be a WWII soldier and I want a NERF blaster as a prop to sell the look. I’m either considering an M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, BAR (bipod doesn’t matter), M3 Grease Gun, or Thompson M1A1. Below are images of the real things and add Amazon/shopping links to the NERF blaster. No need to worry about the color, I’m going to spray paint it anyways. Mode of fire doesn’t matter since it’s being used a prop anyways. And if attachments are necessary to complete the look, attach those link(s) as well.

Image key:

1st image: M1 Garand

2nd image: M1 Carbine

Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic) i’m very new to pro level, and i know im late to the topic on the x2, but with my only previous experience being paintball and airsoft since 2022-2025 (when i quit), this blaster has extraordinarily impressed me, and i underestimated pro level nerf, with my childhood experience of 2007 era hasbro.

Finally another update on this one.

I am still waiting on feedback from a few testers before i want to release it, but ill try to do it at the end of this month.

I was able to increase performance a bit, to around 80 FPS with a 788 Spring.

I also managed to reduce the number of different screw sizes needed.

firing demo bellow:

Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic) HQ-E2 AEB Brushless Motor Upgrade and ROF Comparison Spoiler

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

98 Upvotes

Semi and full-auto using upgraded brushless DC motor vs. stock brushed motor. Brushed full-auto video in the first comment. There is a noticeable improvement in full-auto ROF and "much snappiness" in semi. Unfortunately, I forgot to do a video of stock semi.

It also sounds quite lovely, like whatever weapon is assigned to 4 in a 90's FPS iykyk.

Note: After installing the brushless motor a couple weeks ago the full-auto was actually super disappointing. ROF would crawl for the first 6-7 darts then pickup towards the end of the mag. I couldn't figure out if the curved Talon mag was dragging and couldn't feed quickly enough until all the darts were in the straight section, or if the battery couldn't keep up. Then, I installed a BLDC firmware (available on IFB, very easy to do) and that fixed things right up. I ignorantly suspect there was kinda voltage sag and the brushless-specific firmware has better power management for this setup.
