My friend said he found one of these under his bed today, and he's giving it to me for some music I'm gonna burn for him. I tried searching and nothing really came up, anyone got advice on what I can expect to do to this thing?

EDIT:
Just finished the work on this monster last night. To anyone who has one, I tried for 2 straight hours to keep this thing in it's original shell, and to work how it does stock, but singled. It's impossible. The amount of air it lets out quickly with each trigger pull, is far too low to shoot a dart more than out of the barrel. So, I took the internals, hot glue, goop, an old maverick, and some colored duct tape/electrical tape and made this

If I ever get a hold of another one, I'll make a tutorial on how I made this.

Look just like a PowerClip to me just in different colors.

It has the same logo as the Larami Strom water guns. I think basic AR removal?

The LS2 fired plastic rounds. I would call them darts, but they were unique to the LightStorm series of blasters. Nerf darts won't work in them as the rounds it used were about 50% smaller in diameter. They were basically a hard plastic straw about 2" in length with a semi-hard orange plastic tip. The plastic was photoelectric (glow-in-the-dark) and was charged by a flash strobe inside the gun that activated when the trigger was pulled, just like the FireFly. Ranges were pitiful, at about 15'-20' and very inconsistent. The blaster jammed often, usually with the darts protruding slightly out of the front of the blaster. There was no barrel. It was a pump gun with the pump handle on top, as you can see. The bladder held a good amount of air though, allowing at least two full clips to be fired. Some people have integrated the internals into other guns, but I have no clue as to whether the results were good or bad.

Icespartan, it is nothing like the Powerclip. The PC was a self-contained clip that was basically 10 barrels in a moving chamber. The clip on the LS2 is similar to the LS and Recon.

EDIT: It is not made by Larami at all. From what I could tell before I sold them all, it did not have an air restrictor, at least not like what we see in Nerf blasters.

Sorry Just looked very similar and I'm dead tired right now. And just call me Mike it so much easier.

I've seen a couple of these lately. When you get it can you take some internal pictures so I can see if there's anything useful in it? Thanks!

Hoping I can keep it in it's original casing when I single it, think there'd be any problems?

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?

These Lightstorm guns are pretty cool. I've got that one, but it's broken and a stock yellow one. The clips are a nice touch. I may try modding it some day.

I'm sorry if this hijacks the post, but I just want to say something about the nerfwiki.

Captain Slug: The buzzbee mega missile is missing from the list of blasters. Just saying, in case you needed more blasters.
