Hey all, I found this gun at a Walgreens for only $3.99! It's made of China's cheapest plastic and will bust apart easy so you have to be good to it. It is a missile launcher that maybe gets 5 feet out of the box. This is how I made it shoot stefans 38 ft. flat.

Stuff you will need:

cpvc pipe 1/2" and a coupler
utility knife
soldering iron
hot glue gun
phillips screwdriver

First, open it up and take off the front yellow piece. I replaced the spring with a longer one from my hardware store, shown on the right.




Get the plunger tube and hot glue your coupler to the end, like so.



For this to fit inside the gun you will need to minimize the front so it looks like this.



Put the gun back together and you're done! My barrel is 2" long. It's just small enough for pockets.

Wow that's such a great improvement. It's great how lately many people can mod off-brand guns quite well for great improvement. Might I recommend a wider spring though?

I'll always say it, I love finds like this. 38ft huh? try globing some bands on yet?

I think he meant to put some rubber bands on...

Oh yeah, This thing looks like it has a small handle to cock the gun. Is it an awkward grip?

What do you need a soldering iron for?

[autonerf]

Lt. Stefan,

Due to the small size of the plunger tube, there isn't much room for a wider spring than what is already there.

Soothsayer,

No, I haven't tried bands yet but they might work. The plunger assembly is held in place by super thin walls of plastic that can break like nothing, so I'm not sure how much the gun can handle.

123caviler ,

The grip works for me. Not enough handle for the pinky though.

Dr. Rockzo,

The soldering iron is for melting the plastic so it will cut easier.

I love it! It's an extremely cheap gun that can be improved easily. Nice job on the mod.
