Th Grunt was our first soaker movie. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make videos on how to perform a modification. It would probably take up too much of the website space, but I could put I link to it on this website. I could make a video showing how to perform an XP-310 power mod or other mods and such, put it on MY webspace, and you could put a link to it in the mods section. That's my idea.

Many people have thought of this, including me, Dux and Nibor. I have already filmed a few to put on my site, but decided them overneaded, and just used the video stills for pics in an article. Videos Don't really show you much more, and the file size difference is huge. Everyone should just make sure that all their articles have plenty of pictures. Without them, its just text...duh. :P

Monsoon · 10-16-2004, 05:40 PM

Before you posted that, I already made the short video. Notice how I typed MY webspace.....not Doom's. So basically it's my problem that file size is huge, not his.

EDIT-scratch the entire idea--I'm having trouble playing the video from my webspace.

I think this belongs in the Internet forum or General, either way.

Ahh, don't scratch the idea. The new hosting we're moving to in a couple days will have plenty of space and bandwidth for it. (500mb space, 20gigs bw)

Monsoon · 10-18-2004, 05:26 PM

So you WANT me to make instructional movies for mods and stuff?

NiborDude · 10-18-2004, 06:55 PM

Sure! why not? I haven't gotten around to making mine so if someone else is making them then we'll be poping them out double the time.

Veteran · 10-20-2004, 03:08 PM

That's a pretty good idea. You could also make a video on the proper operation of a CPS gun. (I.e. priming)

Monsoon · 10-20-2004, 05:36 PM

[at]Everyone-I'm making a movie on the 310 power mod a.k.a. the "shotgun" mod.

Monsoon · 10-25-2004, 07:38 PM

I've constructed a simple XP 310 power mod video. It's done, but I'm not sure of how you guys can preview it. (I apologise for the double post--The video was supposed to be attached, but I was too lazy to change my last post.....does that make any sense to you?)

It doesn't matter. In fact, the double post would've been necessary so that people knew that you'd got something new to show us. ^_^

Maybe upload it and send us the URL?

By 'power mod' do you mean simply removing the nozzle selector, or drilling Nozzle 2 to 5mm as I've done? The latter has longer range and equal power.

Monsoon · 10-26-2004, 04:21 PM

I mean just removing the nozzle selector (shotgun mod). Since I haven't uploaded it yet, I could add some stuff to it.
