Description
Created as a mix of those two designs by the talented u/Hotkoin;
This is supposed to be a single-shot, crossbow-action foam blaster. It's meant to use 3/16 bungee cords as the propulsion mechanism but other types of elastic bands might also work with some changes.
--- CURRENT VERSION 1.0 ---
This has been printed and most kinks worked out. Current version should be reliable enough and simple enough to print and assemble to call it done. Fires around 50-75 FPS depending on ammo type and band used. It does prefer reasonable string tension and newer/stiffer darts.
Changelog from V0.2 to 1.0 ;
Added a flat to the sled for better notching and dart impingment, made the sides round for best stylistic fit.
Changed the nut to hold the sled closer to the darts and have less surface to move out of the way.
Made the lower receiver channel guide channel ribbed for less friction on darts
Adjusted holding channel from upper plates to hold darts better and closer to the nut and more consistent loading.
Added notches to the front pegs so that string stays in place when firing, widened the channel for less friction.
Adjusted crosspin dimensions. They should now perfectly snap in place.
