Artificial Armory

We have been throwing around some ideas for mag in grip blaster designs for a while now, but this new mag design might just make them more feasible to actually do. 😈

Its with great excitement that we can announce(almost a year to the day from the initial sketch!) the launch of the Artificial Armory's first primary blaster(s), The Arbalest! The first true reverse bullpup repeating crossbow in the hobby uses fiberglass driveway markers to fire darts in excess of 240-260 FPS. Firing from either a straight or angled Talon the Arbalest is a hard hitting sturdy blaster. Not alone however, the Arbalest comes in a spring version, the Arquebus, and a string version, the ARB-Elast

The blaster(s) are packed with modern features:

- TPU Grip Wrap
- TPU Buttstock
- Bearings on the pump for a smooth prime
- Front and rear sling loops
- Heated insets in commonly used screw ports
- Easily removeable 18" .509 aluminum barrel
- A short 3.5" prime

You can find these for sale at Foamdemic on Etsy. If you want a customized design or filament we also sell assembled blasters and hardware kits at the Artificial Armory. We also are working with the Atean Armory to bring tuned high power ARBs in the near future

Most importantly, to keep with our commitment to open source design, we will be releasing the STLs publicly so that you can print replacement parts or the whole blaster if you wish.

We thank you to all in the community who helped to make this possible, including but certainly not limited to: RGBPug, EnderSavesTheDay, OrionBlasters, CaptainSlug, BAAMNYC, Boomstick, FoxFire Designs, Meaker, basically everyone in UNO, and so many more, y'all are awesome!

Sincerely,

The Armorers at the Artificial Armory

We also want to invite you to the Artificial Armory Discord for updates on the ARB, the Mistresskey, and our coming Y Tho Wye Bow!

Just a text post this time. The Y Tho Wye Bow is having some minor issues that are taking major work to fix perfectly for production. Was hoping to release for Halloween, but the goal is now to release within the next couple weeks.

Y Tho Wye Bow should be coming out soon!

Finally got a sample run of stickers. They look good and if they stay stuck well after a couple weeks we will likely order more to send with orders in the future.

We have been hard at work, more updates have gone out to our discord chat lately than here and that is my bad. The arbalest is coming further together, including elastic and spring versions in addition to the crossbow version. We are now entering beta test phase and should be able to get final release dates put together once we ensure there are no major issues during beta testing.

We have made enough design updates to release a 1.2 version of the mistresskey! We've increased spacing for better printing tolerance, beveled many edges to reduce post processing, added a ring at the rear to reduce tube length, and added a ring at the front to produce a stronger seal. All new orders from artificialarmory.com will use these new parts. Also there's one new option available you'll have to watch the video for!

Zack Freedman made a lovely video about 3d printed blasters and we made it into it!

3D Printed Blasters Make Nerf Obsolete If you have a 3D printer, you can build blasters that crush Nerf guns to dust. Buy my awesome Nerf tactical gear! Visit https://etsy.com/shop/VoidstarCombatS...

We have licenced the Mistresskey to Frontline Foam. They have the resources for faster production than we can manage with our small armory. Any orders through them support us and help us design more fun blasters!
