Boltgun nerf gun

Adding supports for the firing mechanism.

I found out that half length darts go slower and have less inertia compared to full length ones.

Making covers for the electronics in the bottom.

Here I added quite a few extra parts, I changed the motor size, changed the flywheels and barrel to match. Then I changed the battery case to be removable, I then made screws so that they could be hidden by the bolts on the top.

I added a slit into the gun and made a small decoration, at the start I was making some text but I really didn’t like how it was looking.

Adding a handle and a bunch more details to round out the model more. I cut off the edges and added small bolts and other stuff. Next I’m going to make a safety and access to the barrel.

Here I added a super boxy main body so that I can just get the proportions right before I add details for my final design.

I added a bunch of final stuff and sorted out areas for them: a battery holder. for the battery; a magazine area, for the magazine; a switch holder, for a new switch and a small cosmetic outline for thinking about the shape and proportion.

I added a magazine release system and the start of a case for the motor housing.

Adding to the trigger mechanism while on chromebook :(. I was just adjusting how far the trigger can go but I didn’t have my laptop near me so I had to go on chromebook.

I added the flywheel and motor housing, I think I will be able to start ordering parts soon. Next all I have to do is add battery housing, spaces for the ESCs, better mechanical component housing and a magazine system.

I added the motor housing and the mechanism, along with that I also started to make some flywheels.

Researching my components, I am going to use one 30A ESCs per motor (RS2205 2300KV) with 3S 45C 1300mah Li-Po batteries. As for the overall system I will be using 2 of my motor-esc combos with flywheels to push each bullet as they come pushed through by the mechanism I am designing.

Making a holder for the firing mechanism so that I can test the main mechanical parts of this project.

Making the first components and doing some research, I’m really trying to make this quality because I’m going to be building my entire nerf gun around this core system that can easily be done wrong.
