Final release of what I have decided to call the Cryptid. Pump action clip fed conversion of the sledgefire. Capable of firing standard darts, mega, and rival ammo. Github link: https://github.com/GunnerLeo/Cryptid-Sledgfire-Pump-Action-Clip-Fed-Conversion

Due to the fact that the pump converts linear motion to rotational motion the angle at which it has the best leverage changes across the prime. This results in the beginning and end of the prime being slightly stronger than the middle. In practical terms this means you usually push harder at the beginning and rocket through the middle of the prime and are slowed down by the end of the prime. This means the clunky cam indexing feels smother than it would otherwise.

The cam arm is the grey piece that sits between the two PVC pipes. It features a diamond shaped protrusion that runs on the inside of the clip's cam track. The pump's travel is much longer than the travel of the cam track so to the hole where it connects to the pump (via the screws on either side) is elongated. This means that the cam arm is only pushed when the screw is contacting the ends. This gives an amount of dead space that makes up the difference between the pump travel and the cam arm travel.

I still didn't know how to implement a return spring for the pump to keep it forward when primed at the time of the first prototype, but I eventually settled on using a bungee cord to pull the pump back forward. The only problem is that If I attached the cord to the front manacles (the orange part that holds the two PVC pipes at the front) then I wouldn't be able to use a piece long enough to both screech the length of the prime and return the pump all the way forward. I implemented a roller inside the manacles that would allow the bungee cord to loop back and attach to the clipwell. This allowed the bungee cord to be long enough to screech and return the pump forward.

eSUN PLA Plus “Light Blue” filament is a close color match to the sledgefire’s aqua blue.

Wanted to get this ball started before I consider it too much work. This is the lighting for one of the two SC-HPA Nerf Guns. It’s super simple, all of the lights are run off of a single PWM pin. You flip on the safety switch at the bottom and there you go, pretty pulsing lights.

Here is the code, really its super short: int led = 9; int brightness = 0; int fadeAmount = 5; void setup() {  pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } void loop() {  analogWrite(led, brightness);  brightness = brightness + fadeAmount;  if (brightness == 0 || brightness == 255) {  fadeAmount = -fadeAmount;  }  delay(30); }

It runs off of an Arduino Nano (off-brand clone) with a 9v battery for power. And that’s it.
