Znc Aus - Nerf High Powered Foam Dart Pistol

Leave a like and post a make if you print! I would love to see it.

The Znc Aus is a high-powered, mag fed (7-12 dart capacity) foam dart ("Nerf') spring-powered blaster pistol in a compact size. It is capable of up to 190 feet-per-second muzzle velocity. There are 3 variants with different muzzle configurations. See further down for more information.

Everything You Need To Build Your Own

• Purchase a hardware kit:
  -Hardware Kits can be found here.
  -Discounted 'Duel Bundle' (2x Hardware Kits) for this blaster can be found here.
  -Discounted 3-Blaster Hardware Kit Bundle Pack (Zc Aus, Znc Aus, Zinc .50) can be found here.
  Please note: Hardware kit sales support me in developing upcoming designs. They include several custom-machined parts, not just off-the-shelf parts. They are priced for an order frequency that I can keep fast dispatch times up with while also remaining competitive with similar kits.
• Download the print files from this model listing.
• Download the print and assembly guide here.
• Buy some half-length darts if you don't already own any, here are some links: US - Frontline Foam, OutOfDarts, EU - Blaster Time, AU - Blaster Tech
• You will need some basic common tools for assembly, and some glue if you choose to install the magnets (not necessary for functionality), see the assembly guide linked above. Lubricant is included in the hardware kit.

IMPORTANT NOTE - PRINT IN BRIGHT COLOURS
Due to the design this blaster must be printed in bright colours and with an orange tip to differentiate it from a real firearm if you will be taking it anywhere where it could be visible to the public.

Variants
A bearing scar (BCAR) uses rings of flanged bearings with each at a slight angle to impart spin on the dart as it exits the barrel, vastly increasing accuracy with little effect on velocity. The 3 muzzle options consist of different BCAR configurations:

• A compact version with no BCAR
• A version with a 6 bearing BCAR integrated into the front
• A version with an extended barrel and an external 12 bearing BCAR

The extended barrel variant is the most accurate, and its longer barrel achieves a slightly higher fps on average than the other two, with the compromise of it being less wieldy (while looking cool).

Additions and Changes
The Znc Aus is based on the Znc by Misplaced Moose, but it includes an optional handguard, an external 'suppressor' BCAR variant, revised no-compromise hardware including a CNC plunger core, a brass-lined barrel, slide magnets, double O-rings on all seals, and more. Nearly all parts have been remodeled with modifications for performance, ease of assembly, and aesthetics. See the images for more details.

Assembly
Assembly is relatively straightforward. The assembly guide is detailed and includes troubleshooting steps for common issues. Unlike the original Zinc 2.0, no excessive sanding is required to get parts to fit and function. A dimensionally accurate printer such as a Prusa or Bambu model is recommended for easy assembly.

Note
Like the Znc, the Znc Aus is an unofficial descendant of the Zinc 2.0 blaster by 118 Design.
