Adventure Force Enforcer work in progress:

Current stats: ~165 fps, 350 rounds per minute, 2 x 80 dart belts.

I always wanted to mod one of these but I've had several failed attempts. The stock gear box is jus too flimsy and breaks easily when upping the speed and voltage; so I designed a 3d printed mount to hold a much stronger motor and gearbox. The one I chose is probably overkill in terms of torque but it's not like I could just pop in an N90 or one of those smaller hobby gearboxes that Out Of Darts sells, it still needs to be able to pull a belt. Unfortunately the gearbox I got is a little slow on the fire rate, the tag said 400 rpm but it's only getting about 350. I did find a gear box of the same dimensions and style that advertises 470 rpm so I've got that on the way and it should be able to just screw into the same mount. The daybreak wheels in the internal pictures ended up being a bit too tough on the darts than I would prefer as the belt drive doesn't quite align the darts perfectly canter like a magazine would, so many darts would feed closer to the side and get pretty chewed up. So I replaced the wheels with Containment Crew Cyclone wheels, and due to there low concavity it doesn't matter as much if a dart is fed in slightly to the side. I also made a clip that can screw into and clamp down on a cereal box to act as a box magazine for the 80 round belt though the boxes are large enough it could probably hold 100. I took it to the TANG war last Sunday and it managed to do some work during one of the carpe games but during the second round I had loaded it with brand new just opened the box darts and the belt was a bit too tight on the fresh darts and caused several feeding issues.

Just got finished making a banner for one of the most genuine yt creators I've ever met!

super happy with how it turned out :3c Check out Alice (and how it looks on her channel) here!

Adventure Force Enforcer project (mostly done)

Current stats: ~160 FPS, 450 rounds per minute, 2 x 90 dart belt and boxes

I've made some progress over the winter and spring on the reliability and accuracy of the enforcer. I also added some cosmetic flair in the form of a maxim style barrel. I don't have any internal photos at the moment but most of the progress has been on the inside. The first of the changes was to the belt itself, in comparison to it's injection molded belt the 3D printed belt is a lot heavier. Why not use the injection molded belt? I could but it doesn't hold onto anything but brand new darts verry well and it's rigidity of the linkage preventing any flex outside of the hinge's intended direction can lead to jams. So to be able to use worn darts I still want to use a 3D printed belt. To help with the belt's weight I skeletonized it somewhat making it thinner in places it can afford to be while keeping the structurally important parts the same width. This reduced the weight of the links and helps to alleviate the primary cause of jams: the empty belt links piling up on top of the loaded belt links in the box. Another modification I added was a set of two ratcheting pawls that help prevent the cam track of the sprocket from slipping backwards when the cam stud is in the middle of it's travel. This stops the chain from getting stuck if there is too much force holding the chain back causing the can stud to slip into the previous groove mid travel and prevent the chain from advancing.

The second thing I spent a lot of time on refining was the flywheel cage as I wanted to tighten up the cone of fire as much as possible. I spent a week or two in a bit of a cycle. Get home, test fire the blaster, adjust the model in Fusion 360, print the model at night, sleep, go to work, repeat. The end result is that the flywheels are now angled 0.7 degrees left, and a roller is added to the right side of the cage to help better center the darts to the flywheels before firing. I have also replaced the motors with OOD Krakens, this results in a slight reduction to the FPS but the flywheels do a lot less damage to the darts and they ware out slower. So I'm not destroying as many of the clubs darts. (I have also been donating some darts to help offset the dart destruction I alone am causing)

Another thing I made that's not part of the blaster itself is the two flip out tabs that loop onto my belt. They're the same dimensions as the tab at the bottom of the blaster and allow the ammo boxes to clip onto them. This way I can carry a spare belt box much easier than I could previously. Previously I was using a strap with a backpack buckle on it to loop under the attachment part of the ammo box, but that was verry finicky and ended up being verry difficult to do on the field. These little devices make reloading while standing up a possibility as before I had to set one box on the ground while attaching the other. Now with the two tabs I can remove one box, clip it on to the empty tab, unclip the loaded box from the other tab, and then load the fresh box onto the blaster.

how did the word "nerf" start meaning to "fuck up something" and what were the dire consequences of this on nerf gun sales
