High Pressure Air Powered Nerf Sniper Rifle

He's named Little Billy

By Erik Saltwell

For one of my COVID quaruntine projects, I decided to make Lil Billy. Air Rifle

Billy started life as a Nerf Longshot. Inside of Air Rifle

I replaced all of its internals to use the air pressure from a paintball tank. Then I added a 3 foot long brass barrel and painted it. Air Rifle Mid Construction

Unfortunately, it kept blowing my darts apart, so I ended up 3D printing a special back to hold it in place. Nerf Dart

I had hoped that the gun would shoot super sonic darts, but the trigger failed before I could get the pressure up that high. You can see my testing rig here. Nerf Firing Test

It did, however, go right through this quarter inch plywood. Hole In Plywood

It also dented the plywood behind the first one. Dent In Plywood
