Description
It's a little known fact that I'm a fan of Steampunk. Specifically the Mad Science areas. I like building things.This requires a bit of background. The C&S refers to the Steampersonas of my friend Jay and myself. Due to medication I am unable to recall his full name just now :/ . I am Jakoby Thorvald Simmeon, DMS.
I present to you the Crozius & Simmeon Phlogistonic Accelerator Mk.I! Patent Pending.
I shall not divulge the workings of my magnificent creation. However, we guarantee any target you hit with this fine side arm will be at least 51% disintegrated within 5 seconds! Or your money back!
All inquiries and/or complaints should be directed toward my esteemed partner, Mr. Crozius.
I built this over the past few months, as the mood to tinker struck. The main body is a Nerf Maverick. Detail pieces consist of model parts from a Abrams Tank, Duesenberg Sedan and a couple of old space ships. There are also a few gears from an old alarm-clock and a flashlight. The grip (palm side) is a patch of rough suede. Everything else is acrylic paint.
I scanned this because I'm a lousy photographer

It still works, so I can excuse the use of a Nerf Maverick.
Seriously though. I modify nerf guns, and I also build steampunk stuff. Combining the two occured to me, but then my nagging brain told me to drop the thought, because I don't like plastics in steampunk context. That's why I started to build a Nerf gun from scratch.
On the modification front: Look into replacing the pressure limiters with brass tubes. Double range without any spring mods. There should be tutorials all over the web.

So it's like the Phlogistinator and the Manmelter fused together.

I will fully confess that Manmelter had NO influence on my design or power processing.

Thanks for the fave. I enjoy building things like this and am working on another one (different one) for a friend.

Excellent!
I look forward to seeing it!
hopefully I'll be able to do something kinda like this in the near future, and if I do, You'll just have to be mentioned as inspiration, for sure!

Very cool! You should make one out of the big chain-fed Nerf machine gun.

Once I have some spare cash I plan on doing exactly that.

Nope, still a fully functional Nerfdart Thrower. I did try to tweak the air chamber spring a bit to get a bit more oomph out of it but the o-ring doesn't provide a strong enough seal. If I do another one, or a different one, I'm going to see if I can get a better o-ring and perhaps expand the compression chamber.
I have another gun I'm looking at tinkering with. Not Nerf but a decent knock-off. It's a Tommy Gun sort of affair. I found some notes on how to add an extra AA Battery for more power. I also have a pressure pump watergun that I think will make for a fun tinker project.

Are you familiar with the NIC? They have whole forums dedicated to that sort of thing.

Thanks, buddy. You've probably made my wife VERY angry She says when I go Nerf shopping she knows how I feel when she makes me go with her to buy shoes.
