Show All ItemsStep 1: Basic idea behind the designShow All Items A box worn on ones back, in a backpack-esque way, that feeds the Vulcan a loaded belt from over ones left shoulder and takes up the slack that runs under ones right arm. « PreviousNext »View All Steps Download to build the ultimate Nerf terror weapon since I began hearing rumors that Hasbro was releasing a revolutionary Nerf machine gun I knew I had to get one. finally came out I was the first in line at the local Toys-R-Us to slap down the $50 they charged for them.In every imaginable way the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster is markedly different from every other NerfPowered by batteries instead of air pressure, it blasts outs Nerf darts at the rate of three per second with ranges up to fortyUnlike previous Nerf guns, the heft of this weapon isWhile its 8 pounds may be too heavy for young children, for serious Nerf gamers its weight gives a sense of realism that no
previous Nerf gun offers. Also unique is the dart-holding chain that feeds through the gun just like a real machine gun. This is truly an much as I like this gun there are many problems with the design. plastic box that's supposed to hold the chain comes off much tooWorse still, while it prevents the loaded side of the chain from flopping around the emptied side of the chain dangles down, whipping this way and that with even small gun movements. problematic is the fact that when the last round is fired the chain just falls on the ground. address these and other performance issues, I ripped into my Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster and turned it from a merely competent machine gun to the DEATH MASTER - 3000 ,killingHere's how I did it: 25 rounds of continuous fire is impressive, you have to realize that it's all over in 8 seconds. So the first thing I wanted to do was increase the length of the ammo chain. Increasing it to 75 or even
I cut off all but 1/4-inch of the nylon belt from each end...
osprey backpack kestrel 58 stitched the two ends together, making sure to maintain the same 1/4-inch spacing as all the other segments. It's also important to keep the dart holders parallel. of the tight spacing this stitching was awkward and difficult. I sealed the loose ends of the nylon belt material with a little flexible glue to prevent it from fraying.Half an hour's work yielded a 50-dart belt. There's no sweeter pleasure than drilling a dart between your best friend's horns because he thinks you've run out of ammo. 50-dart bent ensures you'll experience this joy many times. is almost 6-feet long. Moving around with that much ammo dragging on the ground is awkward to say the least. My solution was to make two cardboard boxes measuring 4x6x7 inches and screw them to the sides of
loaded belt while the other captures the belt as it leaves the gun's firing chamber. No more floppy belts. masonite glued to the inside face of each box provided a strong surface to hold the screws and support the box. Make sure the screws are short enough so that they don't block the battery case from sliding into its holding tray. Vulcan EDF-25 Blaster has an average range for Nerf guns. nice to increase it as well as speed up the firing rate. easily done by boosting the battery voltage from 9 to 12-volts. by buying a self-holding, 2 D-cell battery pack. to 2 pieces of aluminum tape, which can be found in the heating and air conditioning department of any hardware store. tape to opposite sides of a small square of poster board and slip this two-sided connector between the front two batteries in the gun's sure that the polarity of the connector is aligned with the rest of the batteries or instead of boosting the output to 12 volts you'll
cut it to 6. the gun's battery pack as usual, guiding the extra battery pack's wires so that they aren't pinched by the plastic retainer when it's adhesive-backed Velcro is an easy way to attach the extra battery pack to the bottom of the gun. the extra battery holder is upside down, it's important to get one that locks the batteries in place so they don't fall out. extra voltage increases the range ten percent and boosts the firing rate from 3 to 4 darts per second. A possible downside to this is that the motor is being over driven and the gun's lifetime might be reduced because of this. level at waist height the gun has a range of 25 feet. 45-degree angle this increases to 42 feet, with a distance spread at that range of eight feet. Vulcan EDF-25 Blaster accepts both normal darts and streamline darts. dart on the left, streamlined dart on the right. that streamlined darts would add range I purchased a set and tested
them against normal darts. The results were surprising. the streamlined darts did not go any further than the normal darts. Second, the streamlined darts tended to swerve off the main firing line much more than normal darts. Normal darts fired 30 feet had an average spread of two feet. The streamlined darts at the same range averaged four, twice as great. my money the streamlined darts aren't worth the expense. surprising result from this test concerns the normal darts all byTake a closer look at the head of the normal dart in the picture above and it's easy to spot that it's angled sharply to theI assumed that this would cause the dart to swerve off the main line of fire. sorted all my darts into those with straight heads and those with the worst angled heads. Firing these two groups through the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EDF-25 Blaster and marking the spread of each showed that the angled heads swerved no more than the straight ones.
You now have a Nerf machine gun capable of out performing in convenience, firing duration, range and firing speed. one lingering problem: the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EDF-25 Blaster's bright orange and yellow coloring make it look like a toy. cardboard boxes attached to the sides don't help either. it is a toy, but that doesn't mean we can't make it look a little more macho if for no other reason than to show it's not just masking off all the moving sections I spray painted the entire gunMy intention was then to add flame decals to dress it up but the fact is that it looked so good in solid black that I left it thatThe only decoration I added was the DM - 3000," my new name for this ultimate Nerf terror weapon. black looks so good I'm surprised Hasbro isn't offering the gun in this color, or at least a camouflaged version. gun isn't suitable for heavy field action like rolling sideways over the ground but for standing in a bunker or moving upright it provides
