I have an idea...

I recently got into Ustream.  For those of you who do not know what Ustream is, basically....it is a live video feed.  I had the idea of using this to my advantage.  Christmas break is coming up soon and I am just about done with all my semesters work so my time for modding will increase greatly!  Plus I already have acquired multiple blasters that I can mod.  I was thinking that I would Ustream(live video feed) myself while modding and having conversation.  Is this something that you would be interested in watching.  If so, let me know in the comment box below.

The cool thing about this is that after I complete a live feed, it will archive the video and can be replayed meaning that it can be used as a video tutorial.  Just looking to see the interest level among viewers to see if anyone would watch.  Let me know :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

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!!

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