Firefly + SMDT yes?

Very nice, definitely something I'd love to try myself, my Firefly is feeling neglected since the paintjob.

Between Dyslexia and the stupid spell check I'm really not going to do well here...


The firefly was my first nerf Purchase and my personal favorite... This will be my primary when im finished.

Excellent integration. Very clean and functional.

I have one question, though. Where's the SMDTG trigger?

Probably dead by now, or something.

on my workbench... along with the pump... the trigger WILL be installed inside the case, I have a stupid idea I want to try before I commit to a location... the hard work is done there is plenty of room inside for the rest.

I think that is pretty cool. It kind of makes me want to go out and do it. Props to you for making it so clean.

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.

This fad of assigning adjectives to your own creations is getting old pretty quickly.
Should be interesting when it's done.

The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly. That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumble bee. I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me. Why didn't you believe me?

This is a truly interesting idea; there's SO much room inside the firefly case (one of the reasons I don't have one), and integrations are a very real option. It looks nice; I'd love to see more pics. ~Rork

I used the wrong tubing, im going to have to completely rebuild the gun... my tubing is too soft and it expands completely wasting air... im pumping 60+ times to get 50ft when I could do that with 15-16 pumps with a modified pump..
Aside from the pumping until I get tennis elbow (I swear its the nerf guns fault) the gun works very well...

Oh well, Ill try again...

Outside of the fix to the tubing, all it needs is PETG barrels and a paintjob. =)

^ Yeah, when he's got that much room for integration he should be able to use a magstrike pump or something large enough to fill the SMDTG with one or two pumps.

I'll let you know how a Hornet pump works in that situation, I think that should be able to pump up a SMDTG in one pump, we'll see, I'm going to stuff one of my SMDTGs in my Firefly and the other on my Longshot.

Thats the way I do it. Use a rag with some light fast rubbing.

don't put down dollar store squirt gun pumps, I believe I found the ultimate external nerf air tank in a dollar store squirt gun..... besides the hornet is my secondary so I would never consider disassembling one just for a pump....
