Black Viper 9000 Presented by PRESTIGE WORLDWIDE EF 152 Spring, 2017 D-19 April 4, 2017 Ben Ferguson, Connor Zabo, Christopher Forsyth, and Jack Brandon
Customer Requirements - The PWW Black Viper 9000 was manufactured for ages 11+ - There is a huge market for safer projectile shooting devices amongst boys in that age group (i.e. Nerf guns)
Designing the Black Viper 9000 - Started as an autoloading spring powered marshmallow launcher - Equipment and skill constraints caused several design shifts
Design 1 Pros: • Trigger allowed for connection to laser sight Cons: • Precise PVC cuts difficult to make with materials on- hand • Ammo free to fall through barrel with open-air design • Trigger difficult to design and 3D print
Design 2 Pros: • Better pivot-based trigger system • Easier 3-D printing design and less material Cons: • Precise PVC cuts difficult to make with materials on- hand • Ammo free to fall through barrel with open-air design
Design 3 Pros: • Required few in- precise cuts in PVC • Decreased costs eliminating 3D printing and many man-hours Cons: • Abandoned trigger mechanism altogether • Diminished originality We chose to use duct tape as an cheap means of joining pieces, air-sealing PVC, and providing grip texture for handles.
Our Final Form Single-load musket-style blow Laser sight for increased Skeeball influenced target with gun, shoot small green balls accuracy competitive point system

Customer feedback and results - One of the team members asked his 11 year old cousin about their thoughts on the product as a whole. - The younger customer said it was a fun design and that he thinks he and his friends could have friendly battles against each other. - Gave the device a “7.5 or 8” out of 10 - We presented the toy to one of our TA’s (Chris R.) who said that he would buy the product we are presenting.

Summary and Conclusions During prototyping, the original design fell through when we lacked the correct tools to precisely cut the PVC material. However we made the best of what we had and created a fun and exciting blow-gun toy and competitive target game.
