Well with my great amounts of idle brain space, I am to ponder on many different logical answers to mechanical systems. So ask any question the could relate to nerf

Ie.

Q: Why does adding Epoxy Putty to the trigger of a Pump Action Shotgun allow it to hold more springs back without misfiring (as much)

A: The putty increases the surface area that holds back the plunger. The more urface area , the more friction thus more force is required to pull the trigger back (less misfires)

The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.

To combat the poor performance of the Streamline darts thanks to the "whistler" hole in the nose, why couldn't you just add another hole to the opposite side to "balance" it out?

Either way it's still exposing a small area in the head of the dart, creating drag. Although it may not cause as "much" drag with a second hole it'll probably just spiral out of control mid-air.

I was thinking that this thread was for questions WHY DOES THIS WORK, not how to make crap

Why do spring guns generaly not go as far as air guns.And could you add enough springs to make a springer shoot as far as titan singled.

Well it takes a crapload of pumps to prime a titan, and one pull to prime a springer. Also, the ranges aren't about the springs, but about the plunger volume and springs

The fact that he was given link at all is much greater than he deserves. One of the most important rules of the forums is search first, then ask. 98 times out of 100 someone has posted material on the subject you are looking for, if not here then on the other forum.
