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

• pen-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

• pen-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
• riginality

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 gun, shoot small green balls Laser sight for increased accuracy Skeeball influenced target with competitive point system

Marketing Video

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.

Total - $522 Retail Costs

Price/1000- $2680 + $522 man-hrs + $56 prototype

Total per unit- $3.26

Retail- $14.99

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.
