EU - Blaster Time
AU - Blaster Tech
You will need some basic common tools for assembly, and some glue if you choose to install the magnets (not necessary for functionality), see the assembly guide linked above. Lubricant is included in the hardware kit.
Due to it's design this blaster must be printed in bright colours and with an orange tip to differentiate it from a real firearm if you will be taking it anywhere where it could be visible to the public. This is mainly for your own safety, but also for the safety of everyone. This is your responsiblity!
If you are interested in a more powerful (but larger) similar blaster, check out the Zinc .50. If you are interesting in a super compact pocket-sized (but less powerful) blaster, check out the Zc Aus.
A bearing scar (BCAR) uses rings of flanged bearings with each at a slight angle to impart spin on the dart as it exits the barrel, vastly increasing accuracy with little effect on fps. The 3 muzzle options consist of different BCAR configurations:
A compact version with no BCAR
A version with a 6 bearing BCAR integrated into the front
A version with an extended barrel and an external 12 bearing BCAR
The extended barrel variant is the most accurate, and its longer barrel achieves a slightly higher fps on average than the other two, with the compromise of it being less wieldy (while looking cool).
The Znc Aus is based on the Znc by Misplaced Moose, but it includes an optional handguard, an external 'suppressor' BCAR variant, revised no-compromise hardware including a CNC plunger core, a 12.7mm ID aluminium chamfered lead-in barrel, slide magnets, double O-rings on all seals, and more. Nearly all parts have been remodeled with modifications for performance, ease of assembly, and aesthetics. See the images for more details.
Assembly is relatively straightforward. The assembly guide is detailed and includes troubleshooting steps for common issues. Unlike the original Zinc 2.0, no excessive sanding is required to get parts to fit and function. A dimensionally accurate printer such as a Prusa or Bambu model is recommended for easy assembly.
Like the Znc, the Znc Aus is an unofficial descendant of the Zinc 2.0 blaster by 118 Design.
