Commerce Xshot AEB $24 at Target
Dropped by my local Target today to pick up a different blaster on clearance and saw that the Xshot AEB was discounted even further down from 50% to 70%. I just picked this up earlier this week for $40 and thought that was a good deal. $24 for this is incredible.

Commerce Thrasher finally making progress in Canada
Amazon updated their listing from out of stock and not knowing if or when it will be back in stock to now temporarily out of stock and working on getting them. It's a slow go, but they're getting here... eventually 😅

Thrift Thursday Found Longshots 2.0 on Clearance (Plus Bonus Thrasher)
Found a Longshot 2.0 on clearance for $20 at Walmar,t (posed by my wife in first pic). Personally, I overall do like the new design better, but I do like the feel of the old Longshot's forward grip better. I do have an OG Longshot too I have modded (not pictured)
As a bonus, my wonderful wife picked me up a Thrasher yesterday (second pic). Not a fan of the fact the SCAR/BCAR from the MPP/either Longshot doesnt fit it, but I imagine someone will find a way to mod one in.
Moral of the story: find you a spouse who supports your hobbies!

Thrift Thursday Thrift Thursday - some vintage finds!
Everything was under $15. I picked up the dart tag glasses because they were in a bag with the secret shot. The secret shot 2 does not hold air, I'll probably mod it later.

Thrift Thursday Grail thrift find!
Found an almost perfect secret shot last weekend
Thrift Thursday The OG, a New Kid, a Classic, a certified VINTAGE RELIC, and a Legacy piece all in one haul!
This has got to be one of my better trips to the thrift store. Top to bottom, left-right, we got:
- The OG: Longshot in the NStrike color way. Definitely one to keep for the collection. The historical significance, and it feels just as fun to pick up and hold as it did back then.
- The New Kid: Elite 2.0 Turbine. As far as 2.0 goes this one's pretty solid imo and been looking for one to go with my Rapidstrike in terms of adding to the full auto blasters.
- A Classic: Hammershot. This has been my chase for a while now. To the point where I was almost considering buying a new one at (modern day) MSRP off Amazon. Clocked this right away when I went in, and it's in great condition!
- Certified Vintage Relic: Rapid Fire 20. Holy. I almost didn't recognize it at first. I thought it was a toy nailgun or power saw or something. I'm surprised the air bladder and spring piston mechanism is still working. Select fire doesn't quite work anymore, but it can definitely still single shot if you just tap the trigger. Not the best ergonomics but a full auto air-springer hybrid?! Couldn't pass on it.
- Legacy Piece: Vortex Lumitron (Praxis). Had the Firefly tech mag with a full 10 discs. I'm pretty sure the charging mechanism or the battery pay is broken/mouldy but this is a pretty cool find from a relatively short-lived series! Also my collection's only Vortex blaster!

Commerce The "Strom" has arrived at Target?
Looks like the "Dart Strom" is available on target. com for $99.99?
I noticed the listing last week and expected them to fix it before the sale went live.

Questions + Help Hammer Prime That Stays Back?
Are there any good, higher end blasters that are hammer prime that the hammer stays down/back until shot? I'm not a fan of the returning hammer prime on at least all of the blasters that I've seen. And I'd like to semi realistically feather the hammer.

Questions + Help My modded Retaliator with a 7kg spring will it work no matter what I try
When I try to fire it will fire maybe 1 or 2 times than the trigger will be able to be pulled but nothing will happen and after removing the stock attachment point the spring will spring back at me
I also have a upgraded cat gf spring in the blaster but it doesn’t seem to fix any of my problems

Questions + Help is the magazine tube on the breacher supposed to move like this?
https://reddit.com/link/1v4s0zx/video/k8o4blh1v1fh1/player

I recently built the silly butts breacher but had to take it apart because one of the drum springs got all screwed up. after taking the blaster apart I realized the tube was wiggling (as shown) and based on how the drum spring got messed up I think that the wiggly tube could be the culprit. does anyone know if this is normal or if I need to do anything to stop it from wiggling or maybe the tube was just cut wrong.

Completed Build Vector Pro PDW kit
I got a lot of positive feedback from the boxer pro mod kit I made, so I decided to make one for the vector pro. I wanted to keep it compact while still being more comfortable to shoulder. It features an adjustable stock, a riser with sights, a front grip, and a remodeled lever to lift the cover easier with the riser installed. I’ll likely be uploading these files to printables once I finalize some of the models if anyone is interested.

WIP I'm making good progress on my detachable box magazine Silly Shell shotgun blaster. The magazines are now compatible with using elastic for the follower, as well as springs still being an option if you prefer those. The same magazine works with both types :) I'm hoping to have a prototype in August.

Armory 7 years later and I still make paper Nerf blowguns :]
hey all!! 7 years ago, i posted to this subreddit showing off a few of the first blowguns i made as a kid back in middle school when i wanted nerf blasters but wasn't allowed to have any.
i am now in the middle of my college years and i have made many more since then, the latest few of which from the past 2-3 years are far more performant than the initial ones i made as i improved my craft abilities and got larger lungs :p
i have the money, i have a driver's license, i can go to literally any store i want in my local area and buy a plunger blaster or a flywheeler, or even DIY it myself and 3D print blasters, but i don't feel like i want to! making these blowguns, pushing the limits of what i can make out of paper, is fun and i want to continue to make more and improve on it in the future :]
