Zinc .50 Dart Blaster Do-It-Yourself Kit - Hardware AND printed parts included. Assemble yourself with the assembly guide linked below. Includes parts for a 7 and a 10 dart magazine. Some common tools are required - see the assembly guide (printed tools are included). Please note printed parts have supports removed but are not finished (sanded, filed, etc). The assembly process involves minimal sanding/filing of select parts such as the trigger for smooth operation.

Print files can be found here (not needed for DIY kit)

The Zinc .50 is a high-powered, mag fed (7-13 dart capacity) foam dart springer pistol blaster capable of up to 250 FPS muzzle velocity for 205mm barrel configurations, and up to 230 FPS for 160mm barrel configurations. Zinc .50 DIY kits come in 6 configurations with different muzzle and handguard variants. See images for further details.

Please note: This blaster has a large spring with a somewhat heavy prime weight. Said spring may present danger if the blaster is not assembled, used, or cared for correctly. This is your responsibility. Information on correct assembly, use and care can be found in the assembly guide linked below. If you are looking for a blaster with a lighter prime and less powerful spring: check out the more compact Znc Aus.

The Zinc .50 is based on the Ziiiinc by Misplaced Moose, and is modified and sold with his permission. Note: Like the Ziiiinc, the Zinc .50 is an unofficial descendant of the Zinc 2.0 blaster. Frontline Foam in the USA is the only approved distributor for the official Zinc 2.0.

Technically all standard Nerf darts are ‘50 caliber’ as the darts have a diameter of half an inch (actually slightly larger at 13.0mm for worker darts), though the Zinc .50 brings the essence of 50 caliber into foam dart hand-cannon format. The Zinc .50 is based on the Ziiiinc by Misplaced Moose, but it includes a slightly larger diameter plunger tube, a longer barrel, many customisable part options allowing for many different configurations, revised hardware, and modified/remodeled part designs and tolerances in the interest of performance, ease of assembly, and aesthetics. Hardware changes include a tighter-toleranced aluminum plunger tube over the original polycarbonate one, refined closed-end springs for all springs to fix issues of the original Zinc such as the stiff catch and weak mag release, double O-rings on all seals, lubricant oil included, plastic tapping screws replacing machine screws with nuts (caused part splitting or the nuts would turn in place, making removal impossible), and more. Additionally, all printed parts have had their design and/or tolerances modified in the interest of performance, ease of assembly, ergonomics, and aesthetics. See images for further details.

Darts: Darts are not included. This blaster takes half length darts. Worker Gen3+ or Worker Bamboo half-length darts are recommended.

Care and safety: Print in bright colours and use in responsible locations/settings. Do not leave the blaster outside under sunlight or in a car that may get hot when not in use. Do not leave the blaster primed when not in use as this will fatigue the main spring and other parts. Use responsibly. Do not aim at eyes or face. Eye protection for skirmishing is essential. Not recommended for use by young children.
