I removed the piece shown in the picture below from the center then soaked the turret in boiling water for about 15 seconds and still could not get any barrels to come out. Am I supposed to take more out of the center of the turret or is there something else I should try? Thanks.

Does the center piece need to be removed to do that? Thanks.Dip the barrel side of the turret in boiling water of about 10 seconds. This should soften the glue and the barrels should come out.

Hi, I am trying to get my AT2K turret apart so that I can do a barrel replacement with PETG. I have looked around the forums but cannot find a good way to get the turret apart. Is it a good idea to cut the turret at the line on all four barrels or is there an easy way to get them to come out. I read that you can get them to come out by removing the small piece in between the four barrels as shown in the second picture but after removing the screw I cannot get that piece out.This is what mine looks like now. Any suggestions?
Thank you for looking.

Today I took my Magstrike apart to try to fix an air leak that it had. I think I fixed the leak but now I cannot get the gun back together because I cannot get the bladder in place. I do not want to force the bladder in because I do not want to break it. Below are some pictures of what I am trying to do. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or if I am just supposed to force the white piece shown in the second picture down over the end of the bladder? Also, is the bladder just put on too far? Thanks.
I have one more question, what does everyone else use to fix air leaks?
Thanks again.

Sorry for the double post, but I got it back together the way Retiate said, thanks again. Now I am having trouble with it leaking very badly. The bladder is not expanding at all. None of the air is making it that far, but I cannot find a leak in the hose or anything. I hear the air coming out but see no problems, obviously there is one though. I took it apart and tried putting it back together and that did not help, I made sure the black bladder was all the way on but that did not make a difference. Any suggestions?

Awesome thank you very much!The bladder is pain to get screwed back down to the case. Have a person push the white piece to the screw wells while you screw it down. Everything looks like it's in the right place, it just requires some force to get back together.
And I used Plumbers Goop on my leaky Magstrike.
#335664 Barricade or Stryfe

Hello. I am working on a school project which requires a Nerf Blaster that can be fired with a remote control. The blaster must be able to fire four times and fit in to a 12"x12"x12" box, 1 cubic foot. The Barricade and Stryfe seem like the two best options, but both are too big (14" and 14.9" respectively).
My question is this: Which of the two would be easier to cut to length? Can someone who owns one or both of them tell me if it reasonable to assume that I could cut 3" off of each blaster?
The competition will involve firing stock elite darts, but distance and accuracy aren't nearly as important as being able to fire. I have looked at pictures of the internals for both blasters, and it seems like it would be quite simple to shorten the barrel and perhaps cut off the part where the stock would attach.
Thanks!

Probably meaning the packaging.
The stryfe is about 13 inches from stock attachment point to muzzle, you could chop off at least 3 inches from the muzzle.
Oh that's a good point, thank you for the dimensions.
Just measured my rapidstrike. From the motors to where the stock starts is roughly 10 1/2 - 11 inches. Pretty much perfect for what you need. You should be able to cut it down from the front and back just enough to get in your box. You would have to rewire a new battery tray in though because the stock one would be cut off. But that's no big deal at all.
Very interesting, I will seriously consider this idea!
Edit:
Is anyone able to get me dimensions of the barricade? I am assuming that it is also shorter than listed because of packaging.

I have a box that is 11.5 x 11.5 x 8 and my Stryfe fits completely inside just fine; no cutting; flaps closed.
Amazon and Walmart both list the Stryfe as being 15" long.

That is a very interesting idea, I will certainly look into it.

I was thinking about doing something very similar to what you suggested. I hadn't noticed that the trigger spring was in the stock attachment, I don't think it is quite as close to the end on the barricade from what pictures I have seen. I am currently working on a setup involving a servo to actuate the trigger.Ive never opened up a barricade. But I do know that in the stryfe the stock attachment houses the pole for the trigger mech return spring to attach. Cutting it off means finding a new way to make a return mech (its a giant pain in the ass, ive done it). On the stryfe you can cut off the faux barrel (muzzle). That should save you those few inches needed. There isn't anything moving or vital in the front beyond the orange motor housing. As far as pushing a button and it firing, you are going to have to use some kind of servo/actuator. But the stryfe itself is very slim (2-3 inches thick) so there should be plenty of room in the box.
Thank you for the suggestions!

Next time, find it best to use the Internals Directory.
The specific item for you now, is the Longshot Internals Diagram.
Note how it lists each item.
Next time, read my post before posting.
I clearly said in an earlier post that the pictures on the threads did not help me. With that being said sending me a link to the picture I have already looked at will not help me in any way.
Thanks for posting anyway.

You can try using a blowdryer to heat up the pieces and loosen the bond of the glue.
As for your second question, remove the original catch spring and replace it with a spring from a pen that is a bit longer. Then hot glue the spring on so it is harder to compress.
I tried using a blow dryer on the hottest setting and it did not help so next I will try boiling water when I get the chance. Edit, I also tried running a dremel along the seams where it was glued but I did not go deep and it didn't help any.
Thanks, where would I put the hot glue at? Just glue the end of it to the wall it compresses against?

Put the hot glue inside the spring, and while it is still warm put it back on the peg where it originally was.
Will the spring still compress like that?

I will probably try it, how long should I keep it in water?

Dip the handle in boiling water for a few minutes. This may loosen up the glue holding together so that you can pry it off without otherwise damaging it.
Do this. It works.

Cut off the ring between the slide-out handle and the main gun shell.
Is that the only way to take the gun apart? Will the gun be able to go back together cleanly? Finally, what should I used to cut it off?

Ok today I got my 4-pack of eliminators in the mail and I immediately wanted to mod them to shoot my stefans but I ran into trouble taking the gun apart. I cannot get the gun apart after I took the screws out. I took all the screws out and it did not just pop apart like other guns. I tried wedging it apart with screwdrivers but I did not apply a lot of force because I did not want to break it. Here are some pictures of what it looks like. It seems to be stuck around the handle where there is like an oval shaped piece on the bottom that the extendable grip/dart holder is. I am unsure how to get the shell apart, any advice?
Ok now for my other question. I have a Buzz Bee RFR and I heard it was a good idea to reinforce the catch, can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks everyone!

Thanks daniel, I will try this soon and hopefully it will work. If that loosens the glue and I can just pull the gun apart will I then be able to snap the gun together again.

I tried doing what soccerbeast said but I could not pull it out no matter how far I pried it up and pulled. The back of the handle also appears to be glued together or something. I was able to pry the gun far enough apart to take the plunger out so hopefully I can mod it then but it back in with having to dismantle the gun. If anyone else has suggestions on how to get the gun apart they would be appreciated.
Edit: I got the plunger out and knocked out the air restrictor and barrel post thing then put it back in the gun the best I could while prying the gun open with a screw driver. I don't think it shoots as far now and it doesn't work quite the same either. I still need to find a way to get the two pieces apart. Suggestions are appreciated, thanks to those who made suggestions.

Hey, I've made a lot of stefans for my guns. I have made three sizes 1.5'' , 2'' , and 2.5''. These all work great with my nite finders but they all fail with my modded mavericks. I use very dense foam and insert a 3/0 fishing weight into the end of each one, but none of them shoot as far as the standard suction cup darts do. In my maverick I just did the simple mods, removed the barrel posts and took out the air restrictors. I am putting new springs in soon but I have not done that yet. I have also tried using the true flight red rangers from ebay and they work well with the nite finder but bad with the mavericks. Does anyone have any suggestions or know anything that does work well?

How do you guys cut your foam, like what do you use? I just use a sharp knife but that doesn't cut very straight. Other than those of you who have automatic cutters what do you use? I have tried scissors, a hack saw, and wire cutters none of them worked to my liking, thanks to everyone who has a suggestion.

Hey, I find that with the maverick, its not about the weight of the dart, but the length of the dart. I find that 1" stefans fire great in mavs. In fact I've seen 1" stefs shoot farther than any stock dart in the maverick. Give it a try.
Well I have made several different sizes of maverick darts, the smallest being 1.5'' and I made those three different ways: with a 3/0 fishing weight, one .12g BB, and finally one with two .12g BBs. I found that the shorter the dart is the less distance it gets in a maverick. With nite finders the shorter the dart the more distance, this is just how it is for me.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
