Because a rapid pistol, built by a blind bloke, needs a suitably blind related nickname, and a cool paintjob...Months ago, before the house move, my wife foolishly said 'you've not spent much on Nerf recently, why don't you get something?' This also happened to be around the same time as Drac called himself the greatest modder and that his Sanguine was the ultimate Nerf flywheel blaster...Err, yeah, right...Well, a rapidpistol has always appealed, having used Justajolts version to empty clips at the end of a Grim Up Nerf event, and while Drac might never see my work from his ivory tower, I'll at least know that if a blind bloke can build something that fires faster and hits harder than his work, then I'd be officially awesome. There was also a certain degree of 'If i can do this, no-one has an excuse'So, I picked up a rapidstrike, ordered my motors, flywheels and body kit bits from OldNoob, Worker and Blastersmiths UK, and then the other day, Franksie and OldNoob clued me into the artifact cages. A big thanks to Franksie for helping acquire one of those...The aim - a rapidpistol, cut down, wired and painted by me, with no physical help from others in the community, though i'll certainly be asking people to double check my wiring via photos on discord!The problems - Other than the eyesight, where seeing 9 of everything will make cutting and soldering hard, my biggest problem is tools - I've mislaid many during the house move, and things like my hacksaw are bust. I've got a new soldering iron, because my old one was my dads from before I was born, and I got a nice new dremel to help with cuts and cleanup work.*cough* this is how bad my hacksaw is:The target date - Novembers Grim Up Nerf eventDay 1 progress was to opent he rapidstrike up and gut everything... I followed OldNoob's video, and well, it took a few minutes... But I had everything there in front of me, and I have very little personal restraint, so I grabbed my knakered hacksaw and started cutting.*trigger warning - blaster abuse*Ok, so I am not very good at this cutting lark... On Discord, DarkKitten screamed his shock and wasn't even sure how I was hurting a fine piece of Nerf... Luckily, I can see past the mess, and soon had it tidied up.And after clearing out the ribs of plastic inside, was able to test fit the stock block, and yes, that is a penknife because I can't find my craft knife at the moment:At this point, I felt I was on a roll, so emboldened by my success, took my hacksaw to the front...This needs a bit more work, as I'm not convinced that where the BlasterTech video said the cut is where I did cut, and I didn't cut straight, so theres a small gap at the top... But, it's already taking shape!I intend to document this as I go, to honestly show my mistakes, and to give a blind persons perspective on the complex wiring challenges of a rapidpistol. and one the shell work is done... it'll need a dark red paint job, befitting its Daredevil name...
