Talk:Plunger

It may be worthwile to note that reason NERF/Hasbro uses reverse plunger designs almost exclusively now is to purposely prevent modders (like me) from increasng the power of NERF guns to dangerous levels. The top modder gun (Longshot by far) has a massive direct plunger system and can achieve ranges of 100+ ft. It was replaced by its reverse plunger cousin, the Longstrike to prevent modders from making dangerous weapons out of NERF guns. 128.120.174.212 19:02, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

That is true, but reverse plungers are cheaper, and easier to make. I really don't think nerf cares about safety. It's just a precautionary message so they don't get sued. Then again, i may be wrong. For the most part, reverse plungers really stink, and Nerf should start making direct plungers again. Ripper 02:15, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Indirect and "catapult" internals
So I've been watching Captain Xavier's "Can it take K26?" series and I've stumbled upon different plunger-types, mainly the "Indirect plunger" which is like direct plunger but the air goes through a tube which connects the plunger and a dart chamber, like the Cyber Stryke Gear AutoGrip or some of old BuzzBee blasters. Another type is what he and I would call a "catapult" which isn't really a plunger-based mechanism, it's more like a spring-loaded missile launcher but for Nerf darts. Most of the Star Wars ships (and that BladeBuilders lightsaber thing) use this (and they can't take K26 btw).

Should they be mentioned in this article?
