So I just joined NerfHaven this month, and being at college couldn't do all that much.
When I got home, I decided to do the LS mod.

-AR-15 Spring added with previous one
-double clip mod
-LS sidearm integration
-Barrel extension taken from top of Longshot pistol


Part of the paint job is w/ glow in the dark paint!

Ranges hover around 70' with the main gun and 30' with the integrated sidearm


Questions, Comments, Screams of Angst?

On a side note, I have not done the AR removal, would you guys recommend it? Also, where is the hole that needs to be plugged up?

Gun Integration





Wire going to the trigger

Here's a tip. Just put:

HTML doesn't work on these forums, so you'll have to get used to this.

Yes, with the ar, the dart barely has any air moving it. With it out, and the hole(look at the part of the bolt that slides into a plunger, there it is) plugged, you have nearly all of the air pushing the dart.

Images are up, thanks for the advice

Thats great! I like the glo in the dark paint. You would be screwed over in night games though. You would be a running target. My only worry about this is the integration. It's kinda messy and it looks like that great stuff foam you used will break.
EDIT: I would recomend removing the AR's. I know some people say it does nothing, but it raised the range on mine by 5ft.
Just take some needle nosed pliers and break the supports in the back of the plunger tube, and then the ars should fall out.

The adhesive used was Gorilla Glue [[made in Denmark]]
it takes a good long while to dry, but man does it do the job when its done hardening

Thanks for the advice, ill have to take you on sometime lol

[mystefansdontflystraight]

Gorilla glue sucks. It is no good for things that are going to be under some stress. Use epoxy or plumber's goop. That won't come off.

Not bad, but if you plan on using it frequently, I suggest going over the paint job again. The handle looks perfect, but the other areas could be touched up, particularly the scope, clips and stock. Nice work though. I do have one question, why are you keeping the barrel from the front gun on the main gun? It just decreases ranges, not doing much for accuracy (from my experience).

[Maeric]

Three things:

1) Gorrila glue is amazing, especially for structural support.
2) No offense man, but this really didn't deserve a new thread, just post it in the mod and paint job thread, thats what its there for.
3) Resize the goddamn pictures. It's fucking annoying to have to scroll from side to side.

[Commander Cody]

Thanks all, this was my first mod post, so pardon my mistakes.

The front gun is for pure cosmetics, yeah it really doesn't do much for you except for a shot in the face, which might be rather amusing.

On another note, the paint job is not so pretty because I made the mistake of spraying primer on the gun first, things just went downhill from there on in. Now I've gotta finish modding my Titan

Interesting.

I have a paint in process that is fairly similar to that. I'll be sure to run it by when I get done (Silver paint had some issues for me with painters tape, and I still have to do the clips and gloss)

The pattern it left in the silver for me was interesting, but wasn't very neat given how I taped it.

I haven't ever had luck with GITD Paint. In fact, I am disowning Krylon entirely after this one. (usually use Dupli Vinyl, but gave some chrome and black a shot, which means I need some clear enamel now. Any ideas?)

Yeah I hear you loud and clear on the problems with the GITD. This was my 1st paint job, so I'm still learning alot.
I should not have primed the gun first, maybe should have simply sanded it. On the GITD paint, to stop it from falling off i sealed it w/ super glue, which so far has worked really well.

I had too take out one of my springs from the plunger tube when my gun wouldn't cock, a bummer.

Some paint just is terrible for plastics in general. Especially PAINTED plastic (IE orange paint on LS).

Also, the "smooth" plastic is also less accepting to paint. (Less of a surface to attach to )

If it would stop friggin' raining, I might be able to finish mine....

[matrixman09]

Nice mods. But I think it would look a lot cooler if you made all the orange parts silver.
