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.

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.


Thanks for viewing!!

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.***

Dan: Modified Nerf Spectre


Here is a sweet paint job and cosmetic mod to a Nerf Spectre that was submitted by my friend Dan.  Has the AR's removed and will be adding a OMW spring along with a red dot sight to the blaster.  The cool part of this is the stock.  He did not use the folding stock that comes with the Spectre but instead modified a recon stock to his liking.




I have seen some of his other work and he does a great job!  He is very talented and I hope to get more submissions from him in the future.



 He does not have a blog or place for you to contact him but still show him some love in the comments section below!

Zombpocalypse Mod Guide


As I was leaving school to come home for the summer, a friend of mine gave me a shopping bag.  He told me there was a Nerf gun in it and he tried to mod it and couldn't get it back together.  I got the chance to open it up and put it together.  Here are pictures, mods, and the integration that I did with the Nerf Recon that was in the bag.

Mods:
  1. AR Removed
  2. Locks Removed
  3. Jam Door Removed
  4. Seal Replacement
  5. Seal Air Hole
  6. Tape Mod for Spring
  7. Accepts any Dart
  8. Painted
  9. Light Integration


Mystery Bag
Parts that were in the bag
AR Removed
Air hole sealed
Tape added to increase spring tension
Seal replaced and then greased
All wiring on one side for easy opening and battery replacement
Light switch and battery pack in handle
Internals on other side of blaster
Blaster Finished and put together
Used the light attachment from Recon
Switch for light in the back of the handle
This was my first time integrating something into a blaster and not just modding or painting it.  The blaster is fully functional.  Please comment and let me know what you think!  Thank you.

***Shout out to BigNerfDude for helping me with a name for this bad boy!***

Dollar Store Blaster Guide


Found this little toy sitting in the garbage in my dorm.  I decided to pick it up and check it out since I am done with all my finals and I have nothing better to do than take apart things :)  It worked but it was very weak and shot a Nerf dart about 5 feet.  So I decided to open it and see if I can find anything of use in it.  Here are some pictures of the short 10 minute project.

Size compared to Nerf Jolt
Internals of what looks like the simplest blaster ever!
Plunger rod that was broken. 
3 Barrel rotating system that needs to be rotated by hand.
This was a quick and fun little thing.  I was thinking about idea's I could do with it, and nothing came to mind.  So I decided to keep the 2 springs and the screws just as extra parts.  I do not recommend buying dollar store blasters...just saying!  Thanks for reading :)
