Hey guys, this is my first posted mod so bear with me. What I did was basically a Double Nitefinder with some twists. So first off allow me to explain what I'm going to do; minimize, double and "supe up". I'll apologize in advance for my slightly discolored pictures. Hopefully you'll find it in your hearts to forgive me for my incompetence.

So here's what you need:
-Two Nitefinders
-Hot Glue Gun (with glue :rolleyes: )
-Sharpie (optional)
-Screwdriver
-Any kind of saw that makes you happy.
-Wire Cutters (not pictured)

(Note:Other materials will be used later but are optional.)

For any of you visual people, here's what you'll need:
Posted Image

First, what you're going to want to do, is your basic air restrictor removal and any other barrel mods you want to do on the two Nitefinders. Then, while the gun is still opened up, unscrew the silly "laser" fixture. You'll then need to cut off the wires like so:
Posted Image

Next, take out those little amo holders; you'll need those later. Now put it back together and it should look like this (I didn't put my internals back in yet but you should to save time):
Posted Image

Once that is done, cut the part where the amo holders used to be, in between the yellow and the gray. There will still be a little thread holding on, but you can just rip it off. Note: This will remove the yellow part that the barrel used to go through up top. This is done for minimization. It should now look like this:
Posted Image

Now, make a line like I have on the handles. This will be where you will cut to have the handles connected. The place that you cut should vary depending on your hand size:
Posted Image

Now cut away! It will now look like this:
Posted Image

Note:ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE DONE TO BOTH GUNS!

Now, take both guns and your handy-dandy hot glue gun. Slap on a bunch of glue and it should look like this:
Posted Image
Notice, I also added some of those extra amo slots to where we cut off that big piece before with a bunch of hot glue. Not only is this practical for carrying amo, but it also makes it look cooler.

Now, if you were really boring, you could call it quits. But, I think not! I added some extra things that make the gun cooler and more practical.

1.Electrical tape around the handle to make it more sturdy and easier to grip.
2.More amo slots in strategically placed areas.
3.Most importantly; a Crossfire Shield to protect the wrist. In place of this, you could use an old Manta shell or make one yourself.

So, this is what mine looked like in the end:

Hope you have found this entertaining to say the least! Questions and comments are greatly appreciated. Hopefully this one will end up in The Directory. And once again, I apologize for the discoloration! :D

How is the hot glue holding up? I just can't believe that hey are held together with hot glue. You should seriusly consider using epoxy. I used to use hot glue on everything, but now I mostly use epoxy. Just some advice, you don't have to do this, drop the gun on the grass a few times. If it holds up, then your bond is durable. Looks good though.

Looks good! You should probably mod both nightfinders first before you double 'em though. It would be a lot better.

It's actually holding up quite well. There is a whole crap load of hot glue on there so it works just fine. And, I have tried that idea about dropping it in the grass... generally. It has held up just fine and I've had it for a few weeks now. And Renegademilitia15, I did mod both before the "doubling". Sorry I wasn't more clear!

Despite them being held together with hotglue, this is probably my gavorite take on the double NF, on account of putting on a Crossfire shield. Does it acually work as a shield? And I think you might acually be able to integrate a Spidey Dart tag Blaster into this, with a cleer placement of the detonator. You should do a barrel replacement and spring replacement too, though. Then it would really be deadly! I just love the double NF.

It's not like that. I put lube on it and its the same. Its just stuck. And when I cock it back it goes farther back then usual. Also I push as hard as I can and it wont go back in. I've tried the methods and they wont work. Also pics are up.

It actually does work quite well as a shield. It doesn't restrict wrist movement so you can move it freely about to deflect darts that might normally hit you. And, I was going to do some barrel replacements but I'm currently out of barrel material so I'm going to do it some other time.

You could mod it to open, by not glueing the seams in the gun. I'm not sure if he did it that way though.

Whenever i see these double nightfinders I wish someone would come up with something where you could cock both guns at the same time or only one if you wanted. I would try to come up with something myself but i don't have the money right now. (I know it's sad that I don't even have 12 dollars)


So somebody please think about it. I believe it would make these a lot more effective.

Wah? To cock both guns at the same time, just pull each rod either one at a time, or just take a pause to pull both rods together. Both would take less than 2 seconds, max. Otherwise, i have no idea what you're saying.

He's saying that someone should make like a cocking mechanism like out of PVC and PVC elbows that is one handle, but allows you to cock them both at once. But, that would mean that they would have to fire simultaneously, so that kind of defeats the purpose of having two shots.

Not exactly what i'm saying. I was thinking about something that was lose enough so that you could use one at a time yet strong enough so that you could cock them at the same time without it breaking.

Someone PM'd me that someone's already thought of that before and that i could just use string. The only problem with that is that i would have a hard time finding string that was durable enough and wouldn't unravel.

You could use fishing line or whatever that's what people use on a longshot integration for the trigger.

Put aquarium tubing around it.

Get a rope, tie them together, DONE.

I did it. It's not that hard people. It just doesn't work good enough to use it for one NF.

Personally, I think the rope or wire or whatever you guys are talking about, really isn't worth it. First of all it might save you a second if your lucky, but it really wouldn't be that hard to just cock the other one while you're at it. Second of all, your hand would have to be at the exact middle of the rope otherwise one might cock while the other doesn't. I just don't see the real use of it...

Y'know, this kinda reminds me of a miniature MaxForce Manta Ray. If you've never heard of it, don't trust the nerfcenter writeup. In my experience, the thing is a bitch to cock if you're small and doesn't actually shield much if you're big. And its range is lousy. And it's hard to actually fire the two sides independently. In short, the shielded-double-NF sounds like everything the Manta wanted to be, only good :blink:

The Manta is what I basically built this Double Nitefinder on. And, with it, I attempted to fix all the flaws I found in it. In the end, I think I pretty much met that goal. Thanks for the encouragement :D .

It's not the cleanest double nitefinder ever, but I really like the sheild on the side for some reason.

Yea, the minimization kind of looks messy but the stupid laser pointer thing bugged me.

By the way Icespartan_1114, if you were asking if it was comfortable, it is. One just needs to separate the shells based on his/her hand size.
