The Popperbox - An Adventure Force Equalizer blaster reshell

This is the Popperbox. So named for it's loose resemblance to an old fashioned pepperbox, and the popping noise it makes when it fires a dart. This is a reshell of an Adventure Force Equalizer blaster, which is a 4 shot blaster that you can purchase for less than $8 per pair. The blaster itself is the hardware kit. You do not need any additional screws or hardware, just the 3D prints.

The idea behind this reshell was to make the blaster hammer-primed so that it could be wielded one-handed. The prime is unbearably heavy, and it's just a matter of leverage. I don't have the room to improve that balance at all. Between that and the fact that this blaster can't be compelled to fire any faster than 68fps, I've stopped development on it. I'm not really formally announcing this blaster either because it's just not very practical or useful, in my opinion. However I learned a lot by doing it, and it's also a developed enough design that you could print it out and have a working blaster. The grip is incredibly comfortable and the trigger works quite well. Feel free to steal 'em for your blaster. Bear in mind that this fileset is not nearly as polished as I normally like them to be, and some hand fitting may be required.

More importantly, the reason I'm even bothering to do this is because I'm including STEP files of the internals that I modeled of the Equalizer. I believe that this is currently the cheapest four shot power system you can get. At $7.47 per pair, that's less than a buck per shot. I regularly find them at Goodwill for a buck, which I think is worth it. They're low fps and can't really be modded for much performance, but I like them because they're small, easy to prime, and dead simple. Any buzzbee 4 shot front-load top-prime blaster is also likely to have the same internals.

No assembly instructions or printing tips for this one. Sorry. I did my best to eliminate the need for supports so hopefully print orientation is obvious. Please reference the STEP file to see how it goes together. BTW the grip nut and grip screw were something that utterly failed on my last print of this blaster but I did not fix them. I held my grip together with glue.
