I’m trying to build a Caliburn 4 with as high FPS, accuracy, and quality possible, that’s still fun to actually use.
I don’t own a 3d printer, but I am mechanically minded, and thus perfectly fine with assembling the gun myself. I’m planning on using half-lengths darts to mainly go plinking with it, but still play in a few nerf wars that allow a Caliburn 4.
Money is no object this time around, and I have a few questions before I bite the bullet (excuse the pun) and buy the parts to build one.
- Who should I buy the 3d printed parts from?
- What upgrades should I purchase? (ie aluminum ramrod, longer barrel)
- Who should I buy my SCAR/BCAR from?
- With the previous questions in mind, what spring(s) can I reasonably use? (No two handed priming)
I love Nerf and I hope this post will help me and others in building their ideal Caliburn 4!
What kind of range do you get with ~200 FPS?
you can get 30m on relatively flat shots. Also, if you increase barrel length to ~65-70cm, you can hit up to 290fps with a pro25 spring without the scar.
270fps with a bcar easily without much tuning.
if you do stick with the shorter barrel, get a bcar that has a large amount of porting, because there is a lot of excess air that needs to be vented.
