Aliens M41a Pulse Rifle (from a Nerf Stampede!)

Not open for further replies.
Ok so i field tested the cut down stampede over the weekend at a 5v5 nerf game and it ran so well! It did jam once tho, but at that stage the ammo was a problem :D After some major runs i decided to guard our flag.

Dual wielding a full stampede and the cut down one was magic :D (You can only hear the full ones fire sound but you can see the darts swarm when im firing hehe)
also here

Epic run! :)

Cheers.

Long overdue update! :)

Grenade launcher is attached on 2 mounting points on both sides.

The Nerf recon is way too large and the wrong shape to fit unfortunately... Time to rethink this. I really want something that has a few shots that pump loads.

The top plate for the barrel to sit on is done and looks nice :)

Next up is mounting the barrel to the plate and epoxy sculpting everthing so its flush.

For those that are interested, this is what i was rocking during my first nerf game :) (Second game i had this as well as a modded longshot!)

Just thought I'd bump this because maybe you didn't see it, but this missile can get some good distance and it's close enough to a grenade right?

Its totally is awesome and a grenade launcher but its very large (There is one at my local Target). Too large unfortunately to shoehorn into the space i have. At the moment im thinking about putting a 3 round revolver barrel in there in the style of a maverick or spectre. I believe a spectre barrel is just too large, but it would be nice :)

Thanks Alecgates15 for the idea. Im still thinking about it and very open to ideas.


Cheers.
 
Ok quick update:

Ive found something that im comfortable with installing and will fit. Its a single shot Lanard Hand cannon that shoots large darts. I figure if i cant get the reload thing happening, ill "use more bullet" :)

Its fated! It fits heheh.

Quick update, im working on the barrel and stock now to try and keep some momentum going...

Ill need to adjust the bottom of the battery compartment to join/flow a little smoother to the stock.


Cheers.

Holy crap, that is freaking awesome. I tried turning a Vulcan into an MG42 once. Nerf mods are pretty difficult.
 
wow. just wow. I like this project! keep it up!

The best I'm hoping to do at the moment is something warhammer 40k-based, but don't have access to muchin the way of materials, so it'll probably just be a plasticard shell over a recon or maverick. that is certainly less advanced or impressive as this!
 
Quick update (So many little fiddly bits... *sigh*):

Front barrel bracket. I might make the ring in epoxy sculpt as the barrel is just a little bit off centre... I know its there lol! It will have to be good enough tho.

Trimmed the stock so it fits over the rear of the stampede. I think 2 peices of thin mdf bonded to the stock should keep it solid, and from there i can have hand tightened screws to take the stock on and off (which will include the battery cover.). Ill Dremel in some vent style holes to keep to the rest of the gun (Damn and i have to do the front vent holes... not looking for ward to that at all.).

Thanks guys!

@Mstruvmgc, it really helps keep me on track and focused when i see amazing comments like this. Cheers :)

@XULUX11, did you try to make a barrel mod clip for the vulcan as well? I may or may not have aliens on the brain atm so it could very well look like the Smart Gun from Aliens :)

@Captain Shrike, you could try for a fair recon/bolter conversion with a template for the curved clip :) My next project will be a Storm bolter i think...


Cheers.

Big update! :) Ok im not too happy about the angle of the barrel but all things considered, i can live with it. Needs a bit of work but its coming together.

The GL nose will need to be attached to MDF mounted in the front of the GL barrel.
5889437394_5c3c29583e_z.jpg


Made an MDF copy of the stock and will dremel it out and shape it the same. I think down the line i may try and make a collapsible stock but i just want this to work first. To-do list: Add the vent holes, mount on the MDF part, then mod the rear of the Stampede to accept the shape a little better (Straight *grin*).

AMMO COUNTER! This is something ive been putting off for a while but as someone else in the Hackerspace made thier own (with a barrel lightgate) i figured id start it up again. Once again the programming side is a complete struggle for me so ive pulled in a few favours (Thanks Adam and Lachlan!).

Counting in hexidecimal lol. "Oh no! Only FC ammo left!!"
http://www.flickr.com/photos/43859044@N02/5889659680/in/photostream

Now its counting up in decimal correctly:

Time to add the shiftregisters (74595) to a board all neat:
