My old snapbow repainted. Glittery purple. My most reliable blaster.
EDIT TO AVOID DOUBLE POST:
This is my rainbow pump variant. It was mostly made of recovered parts from old WIPs and blasters.
Rainfire: plunger rod
Old rainbow pump: pump sheaf/handle & catch
Rainbow Pup by Ryan: LDPE handle/trigger
PAC bow: stock
Pumpsnap: plunger head, front bushing, & spring
All I had to do was make the body and assemble it. I wanted to make a quick pump action blaster as a back-up back-up for APOC.

If someone isn't wearing some kind of eyewear, they will be reminded of the requirement and asked to go get their eye protection. However, It is your responsibility to protect your eyes. I strongly recommend getting something that is rated for high impact (Z87+). Eyeglasses may not provide adequate coverage and may not be high impact rated. The '+' sign indicates a high impact rating.
Ok. Well I wasn't planning on wearing my glasses I was just wondering. Also, when I wear them I make for the stereotypical Asian.

Does it take fewer pumps to charge up?
I would not know because I only had one and every time I pumped the blaster the tank popped out. If I held it back and pumped I could only pump it about five times before it was too much to hold back.

A convenient way to sidestep this is to use a piece of 1/2" cpvc to pass through the bracer, connecting the tank to a coupler of your choice on the other side of the bracer. This way the tank will remain in its resting place behind the plastic bracer.
The ranges aren't as great as your standard Panther, but I'm easily pulling 70-90 feet which, honestly, is fine for such an inexpensive blaster.
I'll snap some pictures when I get back from NOMNE this weekend.
Great job. Thanks for posing this. Though this mod is an easy way around the "no touch zone" it also has some dead space which might reduce range but probably not that much at all.
My guess and everyone else's would be that the range decrease is because of the smaller tank..,
And, when you were done, did u notice a different firing noise than an older version panther?

You know, I would measure the tank but I have seemed to misplace it. I have heard that many other people in this thread have bought them so maybe they could assist you. Also, I only have a standard ruler so I don't know how accurate the measurements would be.

Safety of the kids...and liability.
Too bad these tanks are so small. Thanks for posting this Shoopy.
No problem. I just wanted to make sure people didn't do what I did and buy a lot of them because I was surprised Walmart carried them.
@shanaynay: I agree, I actually did think of saving the blast button unit because it looks a lot easier than the old unit to reuse.

I was talking with Venom and he said that the Walmart Panthers have smaller tanks and are not very consistent to modding. So far at Toys r Us the panthers there have been the same with there tanks.All the same size. i would just buy them at Toys R Us just for the extra buck. All and all i had the problem too so i just sold mine.
Good thing they still have them at ToysRus, even for $6. Mine is being sold to the trash can.

It looks like the usual externally...
And here's the new look internally...
Tank close up.

Was white and fat, now black and skinny.

Basically what happened is that I bought a panther at Walmart and opened it up. I was so glad to stumble upon a panther because I remembered they were only in select stores. I was shocked that the tank was reduced to about the size of a hornet. Also, the line that connects the tank and pump is now changed to black and is much smaller. The tank is not secured to the line in any way and there is only an o-ring creating the seal. Even though all these changes were made, I just slapped a 1/2" pvc coupler on it and reduced the front to accommodate. When I pumped it for the first time, the entire tank assembly came out of the front. I must have cut an important piece off that keeps the tank back on the o-ring. Another problem is that it does not sound like a regular panther. When I cut off the front barrel to attach the coupler, the usual junk came out. I can't remember if there was an air restricter in it. When I keep the tank back and pump, then pull the trigger it sounds like an air restricted panther. So, I'm not sure if they changed the tank's AR or moved it. I'm too lazy to investigate further so it's in the trash.
Long story short, they changed the panther to be lame-o. I'm sure the tank can be changed so it sounds like an old AR removed panther. I'm not sure how performance will be effected because of the smaller tank. Maybe, you guys can figure out what's the deal with the newer version of the panther. You might want to buy up some older versions if they are still made because they might become pretty valuable for they're modding potential. Good thing I already have a few of the older versions in my gun box.
Possibly you experienced the same problem and can talk about it here. Let's get to the bottom of this.

Darts and Barrels
You might try asking TED, he always seems to be on his period.
Tis the master on female hygiene.
What I think would be the easiest would be to use a super basic homemade, possibly a snapbow. They can be created with limited tools, skill, and money (about $30).
With a homemade such as a snapbow, you can use various barrels easily. With the 1" x 1/2" bushing you can swap various barrels with ease. The thing is, you need to find a piping at your local hardware store that will have a snug fit on your tissue vampires. Then, you have to figure out how to get that pipe to 1/2" pvc. It will take a little bit of messin' around. It will also provide you with the maximum nerfing power.
I don't know how informative this is but maybe it will spark a conversation. And I know you want an actual nerf gun but that might be a tad tricky.
Nerf-o-mania has a easy to follow guide on youtube.

I like the idea...I'm down for any of those, but would prefer APOC 2013.
Same here. Smart minds think alike Bhajj.
Though, like usual, PA POWER is already one step ahead representing with our own wristbands.

So far, I have only taken her up to 50 psi. It takes about 12 seconds to get there and I can fire off about 6 good shoots.
I don't care (if you ate sceptors and air compressor powered blasters... especially combined) I love it.

OK thanks to everyone who helped!
In the pictures, I made the mistake of drawing the positive and negative wires switched. It actually wasn't like that.
I rewired with the new wire and installed the new switch. Everything works flawlessly.
Thanks for all the help.
