So I was bored one night an I decided that I wanted to upgrade the Jolt I got from Soloz1 during our modparty. So I made this:
 |
| So small! |
 |
| Primed |
It really wasn't hard to do at all. I followed iamthatcat/ revisionfive's informative write-up that you can find here. Its basically a matter of chopping off the original barrel, and sanding it down until a 1/2 cpvc coupler can fit on.

| Down the barrel, unprimed |

I used a keyring to replace the old handle, but I think I'm probably going to switch back.

| Exploded view |
For this modification, I replaced the spring with a Buzz Bee Rogue spring. Its really powerful!
Overall, I like this blaster. I'm not sure when I will use it, but its a nice little pocket rocket and an easy mod to do. :)
Lastly, heres a firing vid:
That is really awesome actually. I've seen a number of inline jolts but this is definitely my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou need to do a range vid. It seems to fire well, and I'd love to see how far it goes.
I'll try to get up a range test vid. I think the ranges are around 40-50', but I don't remember. I still have to upgrade the seal so that it is perfect, hopefully I can get maybe 5-10 more feet from that. This was just a fun little project that I whipped up when I was bored the other night, and it turned out nice. Jolts are fun to play around with. :)
DeleteOne word, AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks! Coming from you that means a lot. :D
DeleteI really like your version and am interested in the way you did your trigger. If you could post an exploded pic of just the trigger I would be really grateful. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI actually just cut and wedged a small spring underneath the trigger. It can (kinda) be seen in the 6th pic. I'll post an exploded pic of the trigger though. :)
DeleteWhoops, its the 7th pic.
