MuzzleStache Shell System

thingiverse

This is the fileset for the Muzzlestache shot gun shells designed to work specifically with the Trivictus WhiskerScar (created by Thanhtacles). Named the Muzzlestache in relation to the whiskers, get it?). There are two methods you can use, either print up a new modified WhiskerScar with the rib cut out for a 19 mm OD and 16mm ID 1.7 mm thickness o ring (or some close equivalent) or you can use electrical or masking tape on an existing Whisker scar barrel (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5174583). You will want to put the tape about 2 mm from the end of the scar barrel so it's easier to press fit on. You want it tight enough so it doesn't fall off but you don't want it too tight where it is very difficult to put on/take off during a battle. A twisting motion helps it go on and off when you have a tighter fit. The attachment has two taper angles, closest to the inlet is to make it easier to put on the WhiskerScar like a flared magwell so you don't have to be so precise. The inner tapering is for the gradual friction increase on your tape or o ring. The shotgun shells are designed so you always know which way is up and you can tell without looking just by feeling for the major cutout (shell name facing down). 2 cuts is 6ix and 1 cut is 4ork. The cutout is designed for your thumb grip on top as well as identifying up. The short dart sleeves are angled for a horizontal spread. There are two shells: 4ork is for 4 short darts. Top two sleeves are 2 degrees from centre. Bottom two sleeves are 5 degrees from centre yielding a 10 degree total spread. 6ix is 6 short darts with the top and bottom being straight. The two side pairs are angled out 2 degrees for a total spread of 4 degrees. 4ork delivers more FPS and a wider spread while 6ix has less FPS but more darts. Included are FPS plugs that will allow you to customize the FPS and the dart output. Using the 6ix shell and plugging the bottom three holes will get you increased FPS and maintain the horizontal spread. Using some tape on the plugs will make them stay in with friction fit. You will figure out the right amount of friction and John Wickness for your own preference of how loose or tight you personally like. You don't want it overly tight where you can't put it on or off fairly easily, you don't want it too loose where it falls off from gravity or from the muzzle blast. A slight twisting motion helps rather than just sliding it on. Thank you to Thanhtacles for designing such a great and accessible scar. Thank you to Dan from Orion Blasters for designing the Lynx. This has been tested on a long high FPS SBL with a non-ribbed WhiskerScar and works just as well. Choose tight fit darts, too loose and it will work but I have noticed loses some FPS. Since this works on different blasters, the higher the raw FPS, the better. The less dead space in the barrel, the better so I don't know how well this works on like a 550 mm Worker barrel from a Swift. There's a stopper that will prevent you from sticking the dart in too far. I don't have .50 cal foam balls so I don't know if those can be jammed in there past the stoppers. These shells will make the Lynx capable of firing full length darts. The length is designed so that the darts can be seated with the heads completely recessed inside the shell so if you are carrying a bunch in a bag or on your body, the darts are protected.
