My friend has had a magstrike for a while and we did a few mods, banding the bladder and removing the clip safety thingy. Well we screwed up with the pump because we thought the hole in the pump was an opv so we filled it with hot glue. This hole was for the check valve when you pumped the gun, so when we filled it, the glue crushed the valve. So we figured we'd do a pump replacement and get around the old valve, we ended up with this.
and you may ask what is that strange valve thingy? Well we cut the old pump out and epoxied the stem valve from a bike tube into the hose. This allows us to hook the gun up to any bike pump between games and fill the bladder in only a few pumps. He only has one clip so it works fine for him.
Then we just banded the piston and banded the bladder with sections of bike inner tube.
Thats the majority of the mod, the gun gets 2 clips out no problem, the ranges suck because the aluminum for the barrels hasn't come in yet. It averaged about 38' with a few shots going a little farther one reached 45' (yay...) If my friend finds his other clip or he buys one we are going to do the whole CaptainSlug 20 shot clip thing. He is trying to find a small ball pump to hook up to the gun so that it can be attached to the gun, but we were lacking one and it was the day before one of our nerf wars.
and out of boredom we cut the front off the case, but that is not done yet, it needs to be sanded and smoothed out.
Thats all we did, questions? comments? criticism?
