Nerf Stryfe Mod Time Lapse

I decided to mod my Nerf Stryfe.  My roommate just got a GoPro and we decided to use it to make a time lapse.  This is not an official mod guide but it does show the process I took to mod it.  I took out the trigger locks, dart sensor lock, and flipped the electric switches for the mag well and jam door.  I also put in a connector for a 9v battery so it is running off of that right now as you will also see in the video!  I hope you enjoy it!

Super cheap Nerf Rayven

I found this super cheap deal on the Nerf Rayven at the Walmart next to my house in New Jersey.  They had a good stock still and they are only $9.50!

Clue Jolts

Hey everyone,

I have another cool find.  I saw a post a very long time ago when Jolts were just coming out and people were talking about these "knock off" Jolts.  While I was in Florida on vacation, I found this in TJ Maxx.

It is a box sex of 4 what I am going to call "Clue Jolts".  The pack comes with 4 blasters, 12 darts, and 20 different target cards.  I didn't have any money on me at the time so I didn't pick it up.  It was priced at $14.99 which seems pretty decent since one Jolt costs anywhere from $4.99-$5.99.  So if they are as good as the Jolt, it would be a good deal because you would be getting one for free basically.

Anyways I thought I would just share this cool find and that I would share it with you! Have a great day and thanks for viewing!

Stryfe and Strongarm sighted!

I just got back home from school and needed to get some stuff at Walmart.  As I was getting the things I needed I decided to stop by the check out the Nerf section.  I was so excited because I found the Stryfe and Strongarm.  This is Walmart in New Jersey.  Unfortunately, I didn't pick up the Stryfe (which is the one I really wanted and was looking for) because Christmas is coming soon so I am willing to wait a week or so.  The price for the Stryfe was $19.97 and the Strongarm was $9.97 which sounds like what most places are selling them for.

As for the give away....I will be creating another post very shortly with more information.  But it looks like the give away will be happening!

Stay tuned!

Christmas Time!!! Time to give away!!!

Hey all,

In just a few days I will be heading back home for Christmas break.  I know the past couple months has been pretty dry with little to no posts.  But I have lots of projects that I have lined up.  Plus I had a pretty good chunk of my Christmas list dedicated to Nerf blasters!  So I am expecting to be posting a bunch of stuff very soon!  So stay tuned! It will be a very eventful and good Christmas break!

Also, if I am going to do a give away.  Not sure what I will be giving away yet, but come on...who doesn't like free stuff :)  So here is the deal,  if I reach 15 followers by December 25...I will be doing the give away.  So spread the word, share my blog, tell people they could get a free Nerf blaster!

Any questions feel free to ask!

Jake: Painted Nerf Praxis

Here are some more blasters that my buddy Jake painted.  They are also both modded.  The white and black one is his and the red and black one is his son's.  Both blasters were sand blasted and then painted.  

For this blaster, Jake was going for a snow camo look.  He used a white base coat and then used black hobby paint to do the tree branches.  He finished the whole thing with a clear coat to protect it from scratches.

For this blaster, they put a black base coat down and then did a layer of red on top.  This one is for his son and will be used very often.












If you have any comments please just post them and I will be sure to let Jake and his son know.  Thanks for viewing!

Sweet Rampage Shotgun pump mod

This is not my blaster! It is off of NM&R.

As I was looking on line for cool Nerf stuff, I came across this post by NM&R.  They found a really cool looking solution to having a Nerf Blaster that resembles a shotgun with very little modding and experience needed.  You can check out the post here! It explains what they did and how to make this mod work.  It has inspired me to do the same and make one in the near future!

Nerf Proton Mod Guide

Here are my mods for the Nerf Proton

Mods:

1. Increased torsion spring
2. Removed locks

Here is a look at the inside of the blaster when you first open it up

Torsion spring before it was modded

In order to put the torsion spring all the way to the back hole, you need to cut a small  section out of the plastic to it rests in it.  Then put the screw in on top to hold it in place.

Here are all the parts I had left over after I was done removing the locks.

This part of the trigger must be trimmed down in order for you to pull the trigger at any time.  This makes it so  you can also de-prime it.

Here is a last look at the internals before putting it back together.

I really enjoy this blaster.  This blaster shoots farther than the Nerf Praxis.  It is a fun and easy to use blaster. I will be making an attachment for the blaster so that it will drop feed the disks into the tray automatically when pulled back.  I will put a post up when its put together.  Thanks for viewing.

Modified Nerf Nitefinder

Here is my Nerf Nitefinder.  This is the blaster I worked on with my friends this past weekend.  This is my first Nitefinder mod that I have done.  I took the AR out to get more air flow.  I also wanted to do a coupler mod but didn't have the right items.  So instead, I found some copper tubing that fit perfectly around a dart and a copper coupler to fit it.   So I attached the coupler to the plastic barrel piece and then glued it all together.  The seal is almost 100%.  I did not put a new spring in since I did not have one laying around.  The blaster only shoots about 15 feet unfortunately and I can't seem to figure out why its so week.  For the paint job I used a black base and accented some parts in gold.  Let me know what you think about the paint job.

Thanks for viewing!

Jake: Modified Nerf Maverick

Here is the gun that my friend Jake worked on while we were modding and painting some Nerf blasters this weekend.  He is big into hunting and modeled it off of camo colors.

Internal mods that were done include removing the AR's, removing the locks, putting pennies behind the spring, and having a full barrel drop.  He really greased the internal parts up after painting so that all the parts run as smooth as possible.

As for the paint job, the blaster was completely taken apart and then sand blasted.  After sand blasting it and cleaning it off, he began painting.  He only used one color but it came our really nice.  He left the trigger and barrel orange to go with his hunting theme.  The blasters paint job is extremely smooth and love the feel of it.

Jake does not have a blog, but I will be sure to let him know of any comments that are sent. Feel free to comment and share your opinion.  Also if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Matt: Modified Nerf Maverick

This is the first of a series of posts that will be coming out very shortly.  Over the weekend, some friends and myself decided to mod some of our Nerf blasters and give them a new look.  We went out and got a sand blaster to try out and see how it works in preparing the blaster for painting.  The sand blaster was a great resource and helped preparing the blaster for painting.  It reaches those hard spots that you can't really get with a piece of sandpaper.  I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about painting their guns and getting really nice paint jobs out of it.

This one here is my roommate Matt's Nerf Maverick.  Has all basic internal mods: AR removed, penny mod, full drop barrel, dart pegs removed.  We then sanded it and painted it.  He wanted to just test out a whole bunch of different things.  Here are some pictures of his finished project.

Matt doesn't have a blog but any comments you post I will be sure to notify him.

***Be sure keep your eye out for the other blasters that we painted***

Dorm Battles

So now that Contagion has come to an end, everyone who has been a zombie for a long time has been itching for some good battles using their blasters.  So we decided to have ourselves a little Nerf war in our dorm.  I only got a few shots because I wanted to play but this one kid just kept getting ambushed and was camping the stair case every time.  It was a lot of fun!

Also, I have started a game of HvZ at my school!  I am super excited to  finally have this on my campus.  I am the moderator of the game and will not be playing because I don't want  things to be bias to one side or another.  I am very excited about it and it should be a good game!  I will keep you posted as it goes along.

Contagion: Day 2

Memorial made by my friend

So today I was doing really well.  I decided to go zombie hunting and got a few of them so that fellow comrades would be able to make it safely to their destinations!  I was doing really well until after my last class of the day.

My friend Austin and I were leaving our class at 8:30 pm.  We knew we would face some opposition on our return back to our room.  Begin walking to the dorm and spot 5 people standing outside of the door.  The 2 of us got into back-to-back formation.  As we were moving to the door, one went to our wide left and the other wide right.  There was one person who I knew was not playing at all, and then the other 2 were standing close to the door.   As we approach with cation, the flanks attack and we take them out rather easily.  In a rushed scramble I begin running to the door and walk right past a girl who was standing there with a cup of coffee and drinking it.   To my surprise I walk right past her and without thinking do not shoot. You would think it is like some love story were I was caught in her eyes and then saved the day...but no!  I totally thought she was not playing for some reason and she tagged me.  I proceeded to throw a temper and then sucked up my man-hood and said good job.  She got me fair and square, I just let my guard down for one second.  We were so close.

Anyways, it was a lot of fun.  I then proceeded to take charge of the zombie horde and organized 2 mass attacks on 2 of the remaining 5 people which turned out to be a success!  There are 3 humans left now.  The game will end soon.

Thanks for viewing!

Contagion: Day 1

Today was a pretty easy day!  The virus started with one person infected and it was pretty easy to keep count of who is infected and who is not.  As the day went by our numbers dropped but not drastically.  I had many close encounters but I am still fighting.  

I began the day with my Nerf Alpha Trooper and Jolt while carrying a sock for last minute measures.  After a while my good friend brought me what I believe to be the best zombie killing blaster of all time...or one of the smartest!   The Nerf Scatterblast:  part of the Nerf super soaker line.  Since we are not playing with HvZ rules and is actually a modified version of the rules, all they said was any "Nerf" blaster.  Since I like to read between the lines and this is just about a week long game, I am using this scatterblast.  It has been working great so far and can spray about 15 ft but I can cover a lot of ground with it.  I still carry my Alpha trooper in my backpack since it is small enough and its not a bad idea to have a spare in case I run out of water and get stuck in a safe zone that I cannot refill.

There is about 35-40 of us left!  I am still fighting strong!

Till the end....

Nerf Alpha Trooper Mod Guide

Here are my mods for the Nerf Alpha Trooper

Mods:

1. Locks removed
2. Tape over air hole
3. Jam Door moves freely
4. Tape on plunger to increase spring compression

Internals

Close up of internals

Locks Removed

Air release hole covered

Tap added to better compression

In order to open the jam door anytime, I shaved some of the plastic so it doesn't catch the bolt sled

Last look at internals before closing it up

All put together

 I was scared to do this mod because I love my alpha trooper and know how difficult it is to get a hold of one.  Since I do not have all my normal tools with me, I was not able to remove the AR at this point in time.  But I do plan on removing it in the very near future. (I will post an update when I do remove the AR and possibly paint it)  Just with the mods I did, I am getting an extra 5-10 feet out of it.  I can't wait to use this in future battles!  If you have any questions please feel free to ask!  Thanks for viewing!

***If you were to paint an Alpha Trooper, what color scheme would you use?***

Wow...that's a low price!

Hey everyone,

So as Contagion week (modified version of HvZ) starts on the 23rd, many of the students are going and buying Nerf blasters for this special event.  While I was over hearing them talk, they start talking about prices.  After talking to them, apparently there is a huge sale at Atlantic Superstore by my school.  Here is a small rough price list of the blasters they had:

• Nerf Praxis - $7.44
• Nerf Proton - $7.47
• Nerf Vigilon - $9.47
• Nerf Maverick - $5.95
• Nerf Nitefinder - $6.99
• Nerf Jolt - $.74

I almost died!  If I had the money I would have bought so much!  Unfortunately, the Jolt was out of stock or I would have bought about five of them.  I do not know why they have their stuff so cheap.  But the cool thing is that people found out that I know how to mod blasters and so I am getting a bunch of requests to mod blasters.  I have already modded 2 mavericks in the past 3 hours and people are still going out and buying blasters.  One guy is giving me cash to mod his, and the other guy actually bought me the Nerf Praxis that is on sale.  I don't know if I will open/use it.  May just keep it and sell it later on down the road.  But I was shocked at how low the prices are.

***Quick Reminder: Please go and vote on which blaster(s) I should use for this Contagion game that we will be playing.***

Poll: What blaster(s) should I use for Contagion?

Hey everyone,

Like I said in my previous post, my school will be doing a thing called "Contagion" which is basically HvZ but on a much smaller scale.  Not all the campus will be taking part in it.  I only brought a small selection of blasters with me back to school.

My question to you is what you think I should carry with me.  With me I have; Alpha Trooper stock, longstrike modded, maverick modded, 2 stock nitefinders, and a jolt that is modded.  Along with a bunch of darts and about 10 clips.  On the right side of my blog I have a poll that I have posted.  I would really appreciate it if you could go and check what you think I should use.  If you think I should mix and match stuff, feel free to come back and comment on here to let me know what you think would be a good load-out for this small campus activity.
