TKedt[TK] Posted August 16, 2015 Report Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Its been about 5 months that I built the first prototype of this weapon in a low budget. Taking ideas from "CHUNK'S" original E-11 conversion tutorial and ideas from other troopers I have been improving it. This has been tested on the field and I had great response from people at troops and some fellow troopers. This is not a 100% accurate but it gets the job done. This is a small tutorial of how to build the weapon for about $50 and 1 weekend or less of your time. This also includes where to attach an action camera in case you want to document troops.I am not very good making tutorials but I have some pictures that may maker the build easier. You will need: Hasbro's Build A blaster gun with Stock. (The original barrel from the gun will not be use in this build). *Tripod (Couple of pieces of 1/2 inch pvc, couple of angle ends, couple of caps, couple of plugs and 1x ½ inch coupling)*2 screws *BARREL:*2 feet 1 1/4" PVC pipe (to match the barrel of the built a blaster)*Mouth wash cap*(1) 1-1/2 in. x 1-1/4 in. PVC Sch. 40 SPG x S Reducer Bushing*(1) 1 " coupling (1/2 slip on 1/2 threaded*(1) reducing coupling 1¾ x 1½2x 1 " “ coupler*1-1/2 in. x 1-1/4 in. PVC DWV Hub x Slip Joint Trap Adapter (this is to attach the main gun with the barrel) *Extras:* Leaf Rake (to make T- tracks)*1 tube of window crack sealer*Gorilla Heavy duty Duck tape*Dollar store cardboard sheet*E-6000 glue*Dremel*Black Spray paint (it is recommended to use one that adheres to plastic and has primer as well.*empty altoits box*empty ink cartridge *industrial strength Velcro*Templates for barrel’s holes and gun dimentions http://www.haui.eu/u...chnung_1zu1.zip You can find this used on ebay . New may be kinda expensive. *concentrate in the barrel first so then you can attached easily to the main gun and avoid excessive pressure on areas that may break . This is the tip of the gun:glue the mouthwash cap with the *(1) 1-1/2 in. x 1-1/4 in. PVC Sch. 40 SPG x S Reducer Bushing*(1) 1 ¼ coupling (1/2 slip on 1/2 threaded*(1) reducing coupling ¾ x ½ you may use a washer machine cable holder to simulate a cross hair. 2.*Cut the PVC pipe in 8 inch and 6 inch sections and attach them using the couplings *Make holes to the barrel with a dremel or drill (there is a link at the top to get templates)*Cut T-tracks from the Leaf Rake and glue them *Cut the 1/2 inch pipe in 12 inch sections and place caps 3. *Place the 1/2 coupling and fill it with the window sealer and place screws *Glue tripod to barrel 4 *Attach main gun to barrel using *1-1/2 in. x 1-1/4 in. PVC DWV Hub x Slip Joint Trap Adapter*add 3 inches of 1 1/4 pipe to connect the copuler from the main gun to the coupler from the barrel 5.*Cover the coupler with a piece of cardboard and then use duck tape to cover it. (when you paint it it will blend in) 6*Extend stock using 4 inches of 1 1/4 inch pipe ( I got this tip from fumatroop)I used duck tape over to cover the pipe 7. (Optional) Add the box of altoids and empty ink cartridge (brother) Paint gun (I used satin black) Action Cam placement *Place velcro on the left side of the barrel *Tip: In order to get a good angle of focus place the camera where you can make eye contact with the lens This was taken with my action camera placed there Well, There you have it.
