How To: The ULTIMATE Big Bad Bow Mod Guide (Air Restrictor and Barrel Mod)

  • This is my big bad bow mod guide. This thing has a ton of power in its spring and plunger system and I direct it to the barrel by removing the large air restrictor. I then show you how to do a really basic CPVC barrel so that it'll shoot micro darts and stephans.
    I am relly pleased with the results. With stock darts, I am getting 95 feet and the arrows even get more distance now.
    Range Test video link is below:

    Cutting the triforce was an incorrect move, over time that gaping maw damaged the rubber buttplugy part.

      Can confirm. I followed this tutorial years ago when I was new to modding and the same thing happened to me too. Question is, now that I have cut it like in the video, what I can do about it now?

    Thank you so much! My BBB had been sitting in my closet because all my arrows broke. Then I ran across your mod tutorial! If you have a vulcan belt, you don't need the pvc barrel. Just stick the belt into the gun and it should fire perfectly, this also allows you to reload faster. I hope this helps!

    If you don't have pvc pipe. You can also use a shell from a vulcan ammo belt. It fits perfect

    I literally watched this video before I modded the first Thunderbow. Thanks again, pumpkin.

    Cutting the AR off: Not as easy as it looks.

  • @Capta1nFalc0n
    @Capta1nFalc0n 11 лет назад

    ... I just got an old Hypersight BBB, and at first glance, it looks like Mega darts will fit after merely removing the air restrictor.
    This is just too easy!
    Thanks, Drac

  • @LordDraconical
    @LordDraconical  13 лет назад

    @Joshroxsomuch It can only shoot arrows with an adapter for the CPVC to the original barrel. The shots are much better now though due to the lack of air restrictor.

  • @iwinbro111
    @iwinbro111 12 лет назад

    Yes, It's simple actually. All you need to do is cut the orange part and then attach (with your choice of adhesive) a small piece of cpvc to it. Next, you need to adapt a cpvc coupler to your Big bad Bow. If you are unsure how to do this, PM me and I can direct you to several sources showing you how. Essentially, you are making an "arrow shooting attachment.

  • @JoshMan3326
    @JoshMan3326 10 лет назад

    +Piisceiss It has to be CPVC. It fits differently. Also, check the outer diameter.

  • @Phoenixthemodder
    @Phoenixthemodder 13 лет назад

    @TheLilevan No, but cpvc can be found at local hardware stores. Just make sure it's 1/2 inch CPVC not pvc.

    Question: How do I mod an old Nerf Bow n' Arrow to shoot both BBB Arrows and Micro Darts? I want to shoot micros without losing the ability to shoot arrows or BBB missiles

    • @Jacob_Kuschel
      @Jacob_Kuschel 8 лет назад

      Make it so that the CPVC is flush with the end of the original barrel.

  • @RoboticFresca
    @RoboticFresca 11 лет назад

    cpvc is smaller than PVC, but be sure the dart fits the inside of the cpvc. Sometimes the inside it too small or too rouch for a dart to fit inside, and you have to hollow it out a bit on a lathe or with a drill.

  • @GremlinSciences
    @GremlinSciences 11 лет назад

    plus, as an added bonus, the arrows that it came with still fit just fine without having to remove the micro-dart barrel

  • @NerfWeopons
    @NerfWeopons 12 лет назад

    When you took the air restrictor out, you took off part of it and put it back in the gun. You don't have to do that. When I modded mine, I took out the whole air restrictor. To make sure the barrel would stay together, I used duck tape. Perhaps if you took that part off and applied duck tape to hold the barrel together, your gun would have a little more power.

  • @nickntb9994
    @nickntb9994 9 лет назад

    Hey guys I just made mine a new and better way! so if u got a resistance band laying around (that u don't need) take the plastic part where the part that the rope thing goes though the plastic tube take the foam and the tube and put the tube on the end of the robe. IT REALLY WORKS ( maybe not if u got the wrong chord.

    Did this, got more spring power in my bow, got 170 ft max distance with streamlines. Now its time for a hopper clip.

  • @dwalters98
    @dwalters98 10 лет назад

    josh bacon I had a nerf bow, don't remember if it is the one you are mentioning, but the tip of this bow that held the arrows sort of coned in a little bit at the tip which didn't allow smaller darts to feed in so i cut the coned tip off and it can fire normal darts and the arrows now. Maybe a similar mod will help you :)

  • @LordDraconical
    @LordDraconical  13 лет назад

    @longshot686 Yes, but a different coupler would allow for other darts

  • @GremlinSciences
    @GremlinSciences 11 лет назад

    rather than completely removing the AR, I would just reduce it as much as possible so even if I accidentally vacuum load a dart it won't get stuck, and that way the CPVC pipe is not needed unless you want to fire streamline darts as the attached barrel is already just the right size for the micro-darts

  • @GremlinSciences
    @GremlinSciences 11 лет назад

    well, I suppose it is a little large so the dart ends up flying off target unless you're really close, but seriously, just drill or punch a few holes in the AR and if you're going to use a CPVC pipe cut it about 1/2 inch shorter than the barrel and gently tap it into place inside the barrel using a mallet and a dowel so a dart can sit with the tip flush with the end of the barrel, it'll use less material, get a bit more range and reload faster and easier

  • @captainprice78
    @captainprice78 13 лет назад

    if you cut your peice of cpvc to about the length of a stock micro, or just as long as the original barrel, you will have MUCH less deadspace and have the most out of that powerful stock spring. :)

    I found my old 1998 Hyper Sight (same as the BBB) from when I was a kid and want to bring it back into service. So I have two questions.
    First, would fitting a much shorter (flush with the stock orange barrel) pcv sleeve effect performance?
    Second, would the old gun have an air restrictor like the new one? When dry fired it sounds like it doesn't.
