Conclusions:
- I need a wider barrel to prevent tumbling of the darts in the barrel.
- I will next be trying out a 46mm ID barrel.

for those wondering, this is a CDJ2b10-75 air cylinder. I got mine from AliExpress here: aliexpress.com/item/32859797055.html
I haven't quite decided yet if its powerful enough to operate a breech nicely, I'm considering getting a slightly bigger one to try out.

- Old screw: mcmaster.com/90273A108 Steel Phillips Flat Head Screw. 82 Degree Countersink Angle, 4-40 Thread Size, 3/8" Long.
These new screws are SO GOOD!
Note: Foxbat should be launching with some of these screws on the OOD shop, as they work through their existing supply of the older 4-40 screws.
Very exciting! (For such a small thing lol)
I'm planning on buying a much bigger Paintball air tank soon so I can do more testing. If you want to help fund that big purchase, please consider donating via Patreon or BuyMeACoffee! Blaster development costs A LOT, and I don't earn much.

The blaster, hardware kits, and prints are RELEASED!
Files are available for FREE on my Printables page! printables.com/model/969546-foxbat-mag-in-grip-handcannon-pistol-printed-nerf
Hardware kits are available from OutOfDarts and SilverFoxIndustries!
- outofdarts.com/products/sillybutts-foxbat-hardware-kit
- https://silverfoxindustries.shop/products/foxbat-by-sillybutts-hardware-kit
Here's some info:
* Top slide prime, T pull prime, and optional PUMP ACTION prime!
* Straight Talon and Angled Talon compatible, just swap over the grip and trigger!
* Super cheap hardware cost (its like $26 to get a HW kit, almost HALF the cost of a Zinc or Gecko hardware kit).
* The blaster was designed around 130-220 FPS spring and barrel combos, but its relatively easy to go as low as 100 FPS, or as high as 270+ FPS!
* 9" barrel as standard, compatible with longer barrels for extra power.
* Compatible with Worker-style SCARs (DartZone SCAR, Whisker SCAR, etc) (the muzzle is hollow so the SCAR can be pushed into the blaster to reach the standard short 9" barrel just fine).
* Compatible with springs 4" long up to \~5.5" long (Talon Claw, Lynx, and Longshot springs all work too! (just like a SLAB)).
* Ball detents hold in the magazine, so there's no clunky mag release to deal with.
* Innovative pivoting trigger mechanism, with a really smooth and crisp trigger pull!
* Upon release, files will be FREE and PUBLICLY AVAILABLE, including STEP and F3D files for you to edit and modify the blaster as you see fit!

Edit: Someone recommended I enable YouTube channel memberships, so I've done that. FWIW, I prefer that people use Patreon, as it gives me more control over stuff as a creator vs YouTube's system.
TL:DR, the trigger mechanism closes the breech, then fires the HPA core. The trigger/breech bit doesn't work well, but the HPA bits and the breech and barrel work excellently. So I'll reuse those bits and make this a manual bolt action operated HPA setup. Or use a pneumatic cylinder for semi-auto.
And that's okay! First prototypes are meant for figuring out stuff like this. Sometimes, stuff doesn't work out, but things can still be learned from the design process. And aspects of a design can be reused elsewhere :)

Its a setting in the slicer that basically runs the hot nozzle over the surface of the print, smoothing out any lines.
printables.com/model/880038-silly-shells-for-homemade-nerf-blasters
- **N1 dart** 1x, 2x, and 3x shells
- **BoomCo Straw** 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x.
- - *Note: I prototyped 5x and 6x BoomCo shells, but the straws are just too tightly packed in that form factor. I'd really rather not deform or break ammo that is no longer produced, so I will not be releasing the 5x and 6x shells.*
- **.50 Cal foam ball** shells. 6x balls for the single barrel shell, 10x balls for the double barrel shell!
- **Wide head full length dart** shells (wide head darts such as stickies, whistlers, taggers, or suction darts), 1x 2x and 3x.
- A **“over-under”** shell that holds 2 full length darts AND 1 Mega dart, and fires all 3 at the same time!
All of these are now up on the Printables page :)
I also updated the MXL and Mega shells to hold worn darts a bit better.
Tons of different parts to mix and match to make any giant dart your heart desires!
Free files on my Printables page: printables.com/model/880459-nerf-dart-shaped-storage-containers
Make Elite darts, half darts, Suction Tipped darts, Mega, Ultra, N1, Dart Zone darts, Stefans, and more and more and more!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Dart Shaped Storage Containers** printables.com/model/880459-nerf-dart-shaped-storage-containers
These are a set of modular screw-top storage containers! You can scale them to any size you want, to store anything from toothpicks to darts, or even scale it larger to hold drink cans or snacks!
There are over 30 different modules for different sized dart foam, bamboo darts, different heads from Nerf, Dart Zone, BuzzBee, Worker, and old school Stefan heads, and much more!
Mix and match heads and foams to make any sort of foam dart, from Ultra to Worker Heavies, from gluedome stefans to Mega XL darts. The sky's the limit!
(also Nerf's new N1 dart too)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Nerf Rocket/Missile/Arrow Shaped Storage Containers** printables.com/model/880469-nerf-rocketmissilearrow-shaped-storage-containers
This is a second set of screw-top storage containers, this time themed after larger size foam ammo: Demolisher Missiles/Rockets, and old school Nerf rockets/arrows/missiles (I love that Nerf never nails down the names for these things lol)
Just like the darts, these can be scaled to fit anything you want inside.
The old school rocket/missile/arrow is also a modular design that lets you stack multiple containers together into one giant rocket-thing!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Vortex Disc Drink Coaster** printables.com/model/880461-giant-nerf-vortex-disc-drink-coaster
This is a giant Vortex Disc which can be used as a prop, as decoration, or as a drink coaster! Just scale it appropriately in your slicer to fit your mugs/cups/cans/whatever you want :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of these files are now up on Printables, FOR FREE, along with source files for people to make their own modules or adapt the designs as they wish!
I'm really happy to finally have this release out the door and done, and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do :)
