Quick 3rd Hand Build Run Through

I wouldn't call this a guide, but it should be enough for you to build your own. A station like this is much more maneuverable and useful than a standard third hand.
There are other guides out there like this one, but many of them are outdated or don't include parts' sources. There are also some methods of construction that I use that may be easier than these aforementioned guides.

It stopped raining here for a bit, so I went outside to do some nerfing.

Just experimenting with a different method of making a hopper. I don't know if anyone does this, but I feel like it makes it feed better.

But first! The Aabow! I recommend this build to anyone looking to build their first homemade blaster. Very simple, without a strict need for specialized tools, no specialized components (McMaster's K26 springs for example), and no precise measurements needed. It's one of the most simple homemades out there (plunger to barrel, basically.), with very consistent results. I built a few of them, and they worked pretty well right off the bat.

MEGA Panther

Just bored around the workshop.



What's more fun than a Panther? A Panther that shoots large ammo!


My local home depot has 3/4" sched 40 PVC that is a pretty perfect fit for air blasters. It's a litle more snug than that, actually. Haven't chrony'd but it looks to be going at least 110-120 fps, with about 12-15 pumps.

Air Zone Xtreme Darts! EXTREME! SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!

Snagged these today after a tip on reddit posted by BuffDaddy Nerf.
While infamous was tweaking the 3D printer we got, I was playing with these new darts, taking some measurements, and enjoying a cold beer.

A Quick Overview of the Orange Mod Works Unleashed Solid Stage 3 Kit For Retaliator

Well, this arrived the other day.



I finally had an excuse to crack open a Retaliator and also install their Stage 2 kit. Previously, I was feeling way too lazy to do it if I didn't have the sealed breech system.
