A couple days late, but here nonetheless.

Here it is.



Open it up.



Take out the plunger chamber.



Pull out that white peg. It should come free with a little force (I used needle-nosed pliers).



Now break off/sand down those angled walls around the peg-holder.



You can now glue a barrel or coupler onto it, I chose to add a CPVC coupler.



Now take a look at the trigger area. This isn't necessary, but I believe it makes the gun more reliable. Take a look at Cx's Maxshot mod on the front page.



Take this piece out.



And glua a screw/ other type of blockage here.



Now cut off the screw ports on the left side of the shell like this to accomodate the new coupler.








As you probably noticed, I cut off the front of the gun so I could load barrels easier.

Finished internals.



Closed up.



Close up of where I cut off.



With barrels.



Currently it has a sticky trigger, but I'm going to open it up and fix that soon. Other than that it's a great sidearm. No ranges yet, I'll try and get some up tomorrow.

Questions, Comments?

Nice... Is there anyway to change the cocking mechanism? The "pull-up" thing seems a little cumbersome.

[Dayko]

Nice. I would suggest that you should use Plumber's Goop over the hot glue for the coupler. The hot glue seal will break.

[OfAllTheNerf]

Green, yes, you could. You could just attach a cocking rod of some sort to the end. Doing this would make it extremely harder to cock, however. The reason the cocking mechanism is the way it is is because it gives you "mechanical advantage" while cocking it. Basically it makes it easier to cock.

Dayko, that is actually plumbers goop; I agree, hot glue doesn't work very well.

OATN your are doing a great job of keeping me entertained and busy updating the directory.
Good work.

When I first modified this pistol back when I was starting out, I did it with 9/16" brass. The range was shit. Like 35+ feet shit. I remember I fired the first dart, it landed in horrible ranges. Then when I fired the second dart, I remember seeing it leave the barrel in such a slow way that before the dart hit the ground the Lanard first shot was in mid air on a one way flight to the roof.

One thing to keep in mind here kiddies: Don't actually Roof your garbage first shots. The spring they have inside of them are very strong and are an excellent replacement for other smaller nerf pistols.

My bad. You said glue so I thought hot glue.

Thanks . I'm running out of guns to modify... Expect one or two more tomorrow though (but don't hold me to it, might be a couple days like last time ).

I agree, I don't really expect anything great from this gun. Even though it's spring is pretty powerful, it doesn't strike me as getting average ranges (45'+). I'll check for sure tomorrow though.

The spring definitely would go nicely in something like an NF, it's damn powerful for it's size.

Dayko: It's cool. I'll be more specific next time; I just checked the picture and it does look kinda' like hot glue.

I had one of these that I loved, but it broke after less than an hour. The stupid cocking mechanism broke. I didn't buy a maxshot when I had the chance because of that.

That's odd... I've been using this stock for about a year (just dry firing it from time to time), and it's held up great... If you ever get another chance I'd suggest seriously thinking about getting a maxshot. Unless it's defective it won't break on you (it will, eventually, but not the cocking mechanism). They're great guns.

[Kid Flash]

I love the mod. But what does the extra screw do? Also just as a suggestion you might want to put some spray foam in around the coupler to make it a nice flat, smooth end(with some sanding of course)...

[jwasko]

OfAll', I'm pretty sure your 7th and 8th pictures are of the same thing. Unless I'm missing something...

Other than that, good modification and writeup (as usual).

Man, you have posted like 5 write-ups or something in the last week. You really have taken advantage of spring break. I like it, but where are those ranges you promised yesterday?

[OfAllTheNerf]

Jwasko: Heh, yeah they are . I guess I forgot to copy one of the urls while uploading the pics. Can't change it now though...

I'm actually not on spring break right now... But thanks.

Ranges are pretty abysmal, the worst was about 18' and the best around 45' with skip, and the other two landed at around 30'.

Glad you all enjoyed it!

Wow. Live and learn. Have you tested the ranges with certain pistols after the addition of the First Shot spring, or is this just speculation? If you've tested them with certain pistols, could you PM me with the original versus new spring?

[Forsaken angel24]

I cannot remember which gun it works best in. I want to say crossfire but it was along time ago and I cannot remember.
