Steam Punk Nerf BuzzBee Hunter Pistol 2

Description

A view of the open breech on Buzzbee Hunter dueling pistol mod. WIP - Wood grip still needs several final coats of urethane. With it's current mods I know it shoots around 45 feet or so, but I still need to test it for final official ranges. (stock Hunter ranges with Buzzbee darts are 20-25ft)

Performance mods:
- Air restrictor removed
- Bolt cut and drilled
- PVC pipe insert
- Plastic bolt to brass internal breech (entire forward section of barrel is a nested internal brass tube)

The Hunter is inherently limited in power due to it's design. It is difficult to get insane ranges without extensive work and extreme modification. (For example a fully air-tight, all-brass bolt and breech mod, heavy modification to the bolt air seal system, etc).

Hi!

Just wanted to tell you that this has been one of my favorite mods for a looong time (since way before I got a deviantart account). I am working on a couple of Buzz Bee Hunters right now (similar to the Rapid Fire Tek mods I have been doing) and decided to look it up once more - and that was when I realized that you had done this mod. I only ever associated the tacticool stuff with you which isn't really my cup of tea - but this thing ist just incredibly gorgeous. Have you dropped mods of this kind in favor of the more modern ones you are doing right now?

Edit: Speaking of hunters: I am really excited about the Buzz Bee Predator. People seem pissed that it is basically going to be a Hunter clone but I am really happy about that as all the Buzz Bee blasters using this setup work so well (and look so good) with RSCBs. Can't wait for them to arrive in stores over here...
