I believe I have it. This is probably the coolest mod I've done, ever. At least, in the past few months. I bring you:

The dollar store fucking walnut guru!

-------------
Introduction
-------------
I went to the dollar store. I bought a circus themed toy rifle that shoots orange rubber suction things. I then got in my car, took the parking ticket off my windshield, and went home.

Look at this beast!


This fires little suction-tipped rubber darts. They fold when you bend them, but when fired out of the gun, they get about three feet of range! Needless to say, they will replace stefans in all of my future nerf mods.

Don't believe that this gun has brutal power? Check this out, and believe:

Sorry about the blurry image, but the stuff that you are probably trying and failing to read is the warning label. It cautions against "using wrong the darts for rifle" and "not to eye or face the aim" Frown! A nerf gun is only fun when it blackens eyes at fifty feet. Lets mod this sucka and get some range out of it, eh?

Materials

You are going to need the following for this thang:

1) Dollar Tree "Circus" gun. The back of the package claims it has great merit, as it "Makes the impression of the circus shoting popular game." If this isn't going to get 100 feet modded, nothing will.

2) Pair of scissors

3) A brain

4) Mountain Dew (Five or six cans)

5) A maverick REV-6.


-------------
Instructions
-------------

Step one:
Throw the Maverick in the trash.

Step two:
Take a look at the internals of the gun. I managed to tear off the end and cut it open with scissors. I didn't have a screwdriver on me, but it's nothing a little duct tape can't fix. Fortunately, the plastic was probably made with a gelatin base with pulverized rats in it, so it is easily cutable without a dremel. I don't have a picture because the entire inside of the gun was created out of the same black plastic. Which means that my shitty camera didn't get anything but a big black gun-shaped blob. Fortunately, it wasn't very interesting, because it had no plunger, but relied on simply a spring-powered lever that would simply knock against the back of the dart to force it out.
Oh, and see the instructions? to pull it back, and fire?

Yeah. Those instructions are wrong. The gun doesn't even look like it does in that picture on the warning label. You pull the part that the scope fits on to fire. Gotta love the dollar store stuff. Children are guaranteed to not hurt themselves playing with this when you tell them the wrong way to actually make the gun fire. Brilliant. I expect Nerf to pick up on this soon, perhaps by saying that the Vulcan requires four D batteries to run.
I immediately took measures to allow the spring to stretch back farther.

After I cut out the back to make it fire farther... The range increased by 100 percent!

Step Three:
Drink some mountain dew. Mmmm, mountain dew.

Ranges:
25
30
28
Lost Dart (Under the desk)
ranges are in inches
As you can see, I got easily double the power, double the freshness from this gun! I recommend this gun for integrations, side-arms, and using the sharp plastic edges to cut your wrists when you realize that you are never going to be able to afford a crossbow.

The best part? It came with these AWESOME duck targets!


Here is a video, with a slide show, for real. Definitely not a popular music video from the 80s, starring a slim and sexy Rick Astley.


Mod powerfully, everyone, and have a great day.

EDIT: Updated video added. Ten times more awesome than anything, ever.

Best. Mod. Ever. Seriously: people praise Angel, but he's really nothing compared to you.

...Poisson d'Avril, fools.

I feel awkward just by watching that video. Awesome mod, though!

[Silencer]

Ingenius and fantastic mod to such a....bad gun? Haha, I like the video, we just got "RICK ROLLED" as many people say.

...This is an April fool's joke, isn't it?
If it isn't, you may want to see a doctor.

FYI no one wants to see your face.

[keef]

My mom wants me to stay away from people like you.

And those dollar store guns because they aren't really useful at all.

[PharaonArin]

Holy Shit!! In a few of the pictures you kinda look like Foggle(sp?) from Superbad. Other then that, you're not that funny.

Dude you kind of look like Weenaak.
Nice april fools mod.

[mystefansdontflystraight]

HAHAHA. I laughed sooo hard when you said step 1, throw mav into garbage.
I personally hate the mav. Great mod. Way to turn a piece of crap into a slightly better piece of crap.

[BendyStraw]

The gun really was quite pathetic. It would fire those little orange things so slow that they would actually spin around in the air as they flew about one foot. I was momentarily sad that I wasted a dollar, but then I realized that it was almost April 1, so...

I'm getting PMs telling me how my mod has changed people's lives, so I think this is a resounding success. I understand that this probably shouldn't have a bold, italicized, underlined, and colored orange entry in the mod directory, but do you really want to pass up this opportunity to inspire people to create new mods and mess around with mario paint?

Oh, and I'm glad that some people here have a sense of humor. I was sort of expecting that I would end up banned or something.

[Galaxy613]

Awesome mod. We need more mods like this. I rate this mod 4.8791 out of a possible 4.8792

Definitely one of the most interesting mods to read. I've been thinking about getting one of these kind of guns to see if they can actually do anything, and this mod answered that question.

My favorite part was the parking ticket.
