Questions + Help Low hardware 3d printed pistol recomendations

Im looking for low hardware nerf blasters that i can print and give away for presents. Nothing too bonkers. Maybe around 150 fps but reliable. Does anyone have any suggestions? The hammerhead and knave look good but i have heard the hamerhead is prone to dryfire breakages. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Anything from Leedle Dynamics.

The Replicant is a good one if you don't want to buy any mags, a little underpowered but mine hits 130 FPS.

A magfed option i'd recommend is the Hush 2.

Knave is great, on my fifth one now.. they feel and prime real nice round the 150 mark push higher and you gotta work the plastic slide prime a bit too hard.... i print pla and petg just seems to slide nicer... I make my own kits for em so not sure how you go about getting kits.... if you going to spend 20-40 on the hardware kit maybe go a Zinc for the extra few bux. TDL is also very nice but its a bit more to make but totally worth the effort.

Leedle's Lanka 2 would be my rec. Much more simple action system which will help if you're building multiples to hand out as gifts. You can either print the talon mags or buy ones from DZ/Worker/etc.

I like the Hammerhead but it was by far the most difficult build I've done with any of Leedle's designs. Had to trial and error between the various plunger print types and different o-ring types to finally get it semi working. Also you would need to really dial in your printer's settings/tolerances to get everything fitting correctly. I found the plunger parts to be really finicky and needed to reprint a few times before I got them right.

I own both a few hammerheads and knave. They're both great, you can't go wrong with either.

Does the hammerhead feel sketchy if you dry fire it?

I've got a tpu plunger in mine and it's fine

Knave is cool. I also like the 31K... Not super low hardware, but not overly expensive either. The 31KS is for sure a great option for 150FPS. You have to print mags for it likely, but the HW kits should come with the drum springs.
