Well, the concept thread on the old FU went pretty nicely, so I figured that I'd post and sticky it here as well.

Basically, if you have a concept and want to show it to the community, post it here and we can help you with design improvments/crap like that.

These concepts can be for a homemade gun that you need help with or a Nerf gun that you want to do something new to, but you're not sure how to execute it/keep it from disintegrating in your hands.

Anyone with any sort of idea can post it here. Maybe a quick drawing on Paint to give us a clearer idea.

I'm not much for concepts, but here is one:
I'm gonna be putting a home made plunger system into a EaB.  Basically I'll be using the stock EaB catch and shell and trigger, but everything else is gonna be custom.  Custom PVC plunger tube, custom aluminum plunger rod, and hopefully a custom breech.  It should be bitchin'.

I have an idea for ammunition (like arrows, not darts) for my Big Bad Bow. I'm thinking of using a pool noodle for foam, and nylon cord for weight (if needed.) Does this sound like it could work? After all, those arrows are just foam...

The hole in ool noodles may be a little wide for a big bad bow (BBB), but yes people have used pool noodles in the past in such a way. You just need to block off the hole at one end.

Awesome range, this could be great if you had a Nerf war in a small closet.

Okay, thanks  Wink! I'll probably be making a trip to the dollar store soon; it's about a five minute walk from my house, and they have at least thirty different kinds of glue there  Grin!

Too bad my sig is full...

Anyway, the rockets didn't work too well, but that's fine since I only really ever use a blowgun

What if (and I'm going to try this) you take the recipe for plastic (vinegar and milk) and put a bolt on the side of the Recon?

Ha... someone thought of this on the HQ or somewhere... anyways, the vulcan would be too wide to fit in an LS shell, plus it would be so extremely heavy it wouldn't be worth it.

What ranges do you think this thing has?
Well at 1500 FPS, I'd say rupture your left nut ranges.

Yeah that person was me, but I got the 9999 day special.

Edited by Deaddumpster- Is it really that hard to add an "h" on to the end of yeah and capitalize?

Heres my question. Everyone knows what the Rocket Fishing Rod is, but can you turn it into a NERF gun???
