Ok guys, a few months back I bought a SMDTG set, and opened up one of the blasters, and did the normal mods to it. But, this gun is noticably harder to pump than the gun I have not opened up. Is this because I need to lube up around the pump? If so, I read that silicone based is the best and not to use Jigaloo slicone spray. Are there any exact brand name recomendations for my SMDTG?

Any help is appreciated!

If it still fires okay and isn't so hard to pump that you really have trouble doing it I wouldn't worry about it. If you plugged the pump that's probably why it's harder to pump.

I'd think plain old vegetable oil would work just fine as long as you don't put too much on. I've used it on the plungers of springers before and it didn't cause any damage besides attracting a little dirt, but if it's in a closed pump tube I think it would be fine.

If anyone thinks that's a bad idea tell me, because I've never used it on a pump before.

I have herd that veggie oil gets some 'stank to it after a wile.

Considering that when vegetable oil is already rancid when it is bottled, I agree that it will stink, after all, the factory-inserted deoderant can only last so long.

This is indeed the case. Vegetable oil will go rancid after a while. I would suggest silicone grease from the electrical section of hardware stores, and also automotive stores.

Thanks for all the input guys, I think I'll buy some silicone spray or grease.

Hey, that's funny because I have the same problem with my venom one. It takes twice as much effort to pump it and it really annoys me, because it looks cooler than the spidey one

O-ring lubricant at the hardware store in the plumbing section. It comes in a blue container. You can see what the container looks like in the LNL video. Silicone spray lubricants have given me alot of problems.

I use butter and it works fine.

Stop posting about a gun you don't have. Vegetable oil just makes it smell, and isn't worth the pain. If you pumped the plug, its going to be a bitch to pump. Unplugging it will help. Mine now has a leak because of pumping it too much because I didn't know how much to pump it. I'm trying to double barrel it, but things aren't working out.

I don't like the SMDTB's that much, they are ok for a backup, but who even uses a sidearm that much?

That's like your 3rd time doing that

I have 2 SMDTG's and they suck. Hard. I plugged the pump and it got worse ranges. Air seals fine, petg barrels, mine just, suck.

I'll take your word for it and not get the silicone spray, and I'll check out that video for the lubricant.
Thanks.

Um, if the first sentence was directed to me, I do have the gun. Also I didn't pump the plug because I'm not so sure about how to do that on this gun(I don't normally work with air guns). The SMDTG's are for an integration I'm planning as opposed to a sidearm.

For the record Captain, the Venom one does look way more badass then the Spider Man one.

No, not at all towards you. Just to everyone saying to use vegetable oil and shit. Silicon oil is the only lubricating oil I would use. Anyways, NERF gave it a generous amount of lube, so the o-ring should... How do I say this so it doesn't get added that hilarious quote to my signature, while playing with my butthole... should pump easily.

Damnit, I never noticed that when it was in Boba's signature, I got to stop doing that...

[ChiliPepperFender]

Alright, thanks for the advice keef. Also, vegatable oil doesn't sound like the kind of item you would want to use in a nerf gun. That is unless you were cooking it.
