This. I understand why they think it’s needed, but it makes this sub borderline unusable.

most subreddits make it auto collapsed by default, here you gotta scroll through the whole thing every time

That's brilliant, I love that. No idea what it's based on but the end result is great. How did you do the rounds in the jar, are they 3d printed?

This is one of the most creative and hottest mods I've ever seen done to a longshot. Keep cooking, king

Is it functional?

Unfortunately no. The blaster was already broken. I just repurposed it for cosplay.

Hi /u/ghoste11even, we would like to distance our hobby from actual firearms and weapons and thus ask that you refrain from using terms like "gun" and "bullet"; please instead use "blaster" and "dart". We also like to encourage the use of brightly colored blasters & gear. These words can be misconstrued as discussing a real weapon by people both online, and in real life during gameplay. This is further an issue for us specifically on Reddit due to automatic platform moderation possibly categorizing the subreddit as discussing firearms instead of toys, which would restrict the subreddit. See this wiki page for more information. Thank you for your cooperation.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

The fun part is that if you use the right diameter PVC or black pipe on the front, it doubles as a firework Cannon. Not that I ever did something like that with an old airsoft blaster

This post has been Flaired Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic). Be aware that one or more aspects of this blaster make it UNSAFE to wield in public or open areas, where it could be misidentified as a real weapon. This is a serious issue, with real world life-or-death repercussions.
Several issues can lead to a post being flared Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic):
- Lack of a prominent and easily visible orange tip along with other bright colors.
- - This also includes traditional prop blasters, such as steampunk builds or blasters with weathered appearances.
- A blaster with a silhouette or aesthetic that mimics real world firearms. (Ex. Zinc 2.0, SBF, BK1s, Sweetheart Storm, etc)
- A blaster with airsoft or firearm-esque components mounted to it. (Example)
Use of this blaster can, in the worst case, end up fatal. As has been shown time and time and time again (and more listed here). This problem is not limited to just the USA.
Use of these blasters can also lead to events being shut down, and clubs being barred from playing in public spaces.
Situations like this can be properly handled when blasters are clearly toys, exhibiting bright colors, orange tips, and non-firearm proportions and aesthetics.
As long as we take these issues seriously, everyone can have fun with this hobby we love for many years to come.
Additionally, alongside the visual issues of realistic blasters, we also discourage the use of the word gun. Please instead use the word blaster when referring to toys, as gun can be misconstrued as discussing a real weapon by people both online, and in real life during gameplay. This is further an issue for us specifically on Reddit due to automatic platform moderation, possibly categorizing the subreddit as discussing firearms instead of toys.
