The box above is the start point, I got it for $16.99 on clearance at Toys R Us, there were 6-8 more there if you want to check yours to see if they've got em.
Here's your stock guns, as well as the goofy ammo holders that're supposed to go on top of your wrist when the thing is actually on. I can only imagine these things are hideously awkward to use which is probably why they're on clearance.
Out of the box you can see that these are actually pretty cool little blasters, but only if you get rid of those goofy wrist mounting. I'll write it up with an eye towards reassembling, but I think the only thing these guns are good for is integrations.
The view from the bottom, the 6 screws you can see here are the only ones you need to remove in order to open the shell up. The two on the very left are to remove the pump handle, which you do need to do because of the tight quarters the pumping system is in with the barrels.
Here's your shell opened up, you can see 2 of the 4 screws you need to remove to detach the barrel assembly from the rest of the gun. Remove those 4 screws and the grey plate will come up off the barrels.
Remove the grey plate from between the pump and the barrels, if you're not planning on reassembling,
please feel free to break any piece off you want, if you don't break the plate a little it's a pain to get out.
Remove the single screw holding the barrel assembly in place and pull the assembly off the main body.
Here's your stock SMDT with air restrictors in place. Remove the plastic bits and the springs underneath them. If you're not planning on replacing the barrels with PVC or PETG then drill out the air restrictors.
If you're not replacing the barrels with PVC or PETG you'll want to fill in the air holes on the bottom of the barrel, use hot glue or something along those lines, be careful that you don't get glue inside the actual barrel.
This is the back of the trigger mechanism, it provides the release valve to prevent overpumping.
Place a glob of hot-glue over the screw and the hole, making sure the whole thing is sealed.
Here's your SMDT with the air restrictors removed and the springs pried out of the main body.
Once you've drilled out the air restrictors and filled in the air holes on the barrels you can replace the barrel assembly on the main body and screw it back in.
At that point you're ready for integration or reassembly as you like.
Here's the barrel assembly reattached with everything drilled out. Personally, I think it's a sad thing not to put PETG on this thing, they're a perfect fit.
The thick-walled PETG fits perfectly into the main body of the SMTG and all you have to do is put a little bit of Zap a Gap around the edge to seal it in place. It looks pretty and it works great.
I used 4" barrels but I'm sure you could get away with using 6" with the air power behind this gun.
Ranges based on flat shots, 20 pumps, 4 sets of 3 shots fired per gun.
SMDT-Venom:
55, 52, 47 54, 50, 45
56, 51, 48 55, 52, 50
SMDT-SpiderMan
67, 43, 38 45, 38, 31
55, 45, 40 48, 40, 39
Clearly I did something different with the red gun as opposed to the blue gun, but I'm not sure what. I'm going to check into seals and see about any overpressure junk on the plunger, if I find anything more I will edit the guide with the appropriate information.
Hope you enjoyed the guide, these are great little guns to tack on to pretty much any major gun for a little extra firepower in a pinch.
Suggestions and constructive criticisms are always welcome, as well as questions.
