The Motortier SMG is another blaster in a cyber-future where german trains run on time, no matter what. Train guards are equipped with it by default, if they don’t opt for a Rail Cleaner instead. According to them they appreciate the ability to “rapidly switch between targets” with one quick spray across the room.
Train conductors are less thrilled by the shell-sweep afterwards, but they do appreciate the added security these blasters provide nontheless. The casualty rate of passengers and staff on trains has been reduced by 16% on average since its introduction in 2388. It formally replaced the short-barreled and woefully outdated Morgenstern MKII as a primary.

Mechanically speaking, this is a Nerf-compatible flywheel blaster that uses Flypoint-compatible shells. It fires half-darts in full-auto at rapid speed. The blaster has a separate rev-trigger that is attached to the front of the firing trigger, for a controllable dual-stage trigger feeling. The Flypoint shells are made by GDop26, whose work you can check out at shellingtonblasters.com
The blaster is powered by a 3S LiPo. The LiPo goes into a compartment in the front of the blaster, for balance reasons. Inserted into the top of the blaster is a voltage meter, to plug your LiPo into. The magazines hold by default 30 shells each, in a double-stack configuration. I also offer shorter 15 shell mags, if you want it to be compact.
It fires about 20 meter in a straight line, and 30 meter at an angle. By default the Motortier SMG comes with 130 form factor motors, embedded in a Stryfe-compatible cage and flywheel combo for maximum compatibility. On the front is an N-Strike-compatible barrel lug.
There are no single or burst fire options. The blaster is an uncivilized brute, only intent on shows of glowy power and spraying shells.
All parts can be printed on a bed of 220mm edge length. Everything should already be in its proper printing orientation. Tree supports will be needed here and there. Personally, I tend to print with 4 walls and 10% cubic infill.

That will ideally also let you know what hardware you’ll need. Yes, there will be soldering.

Changelog
v1.6
– Changed the shell extractor geometry so the cap can be printed in a different orientation. That should improve its overall sturdiness.
– Changed the gear system, mag release and lipo compartment to not use 4mm aluminium rods anymore. That removes the need for 4mm rods entirely. It should be easier to get the hardware together now.
– Reinforced the bottom frame that grips around the magazine. If the blaster fell down beforehand in an unfortunate way then the magazine could lever the blaster in half. This will ideally prevent that.
– Changed the motor gear from using a heat insert to using a captive M3 square nut. Heat inserts annoy me.
v1.7
– Modified the magazines to have more useful/consistent screw ports. This is mostly just an act of rolling up some legacy issues.
