Excellent responses gentlemen ! See, Syrup and Zuna got the joke. Did anyone even notice the link was back to this thread ? Hah !

Look, I was seleven-ish vodkas into the night when I wrote that. Thank god I didn't outright offend anyone 😛

But the bottom line is afterburners are controversial. Guys like Drac don't like them. Then again he keeps using the same motors in every stage, so he's clearly missing the point. The "theory" is the first stage should be able to accelerate darts to about 130+ FPS accounting for slippage due to momentum and the coefficient of friction. Google "nerf glass ceiling".

A second flywheel stage running at MUCH higher RPMs should be able to grab those darts and accelerate them to much higher velocities. Some say as high as 200 FPS. I can't corroborate that. Yet. But the Blaster Core Afterburner is unique in that it's barrel compatible. You just screw it on the front of your favorite blaster.

I'm working on a rev trigger switch that can strap on the grip like a laser sight activator switch. Touch the grip, activate the afterburner, then fire away.
