First off I would like to thank the admin that validated my account! As my first post i will show you my turreted NF

with turret

With out turret

A shot of the dart holders i put in the handle
It's all really self explanatory. I just cut of the "laser" and hot glued a length of cpvc to where it used to be.
I cut a hole into the center of the turret to fit the cpvc and slapped it on. For the dart holders i hollowed out the battery compartment and cut a hole the battery cover. Then all i did was hot glued the dart holder into the hole
It gets ranges around 40 ft

Good first post, I have a couple questions though:

-Is that a FF turret? You may want to mention that.
-Does the CPVC barrel stub have a good seal with the turret?
-You load the darts into the FF turret, right? I'm assuming so, but with that set up you have a whole lot of deadspace.

Also, it may have been a good idea to put this in the mod/paintjob thread, as this is more of a collection of pictures than a write up.

It is a FF turret, the cpvc has a good seal, and you do load the darts into the turret, I plan to saw off a bit of that dead space.

when the turret is off you can load darts into the cpvc stub right?

The firefly turret barrels telescope out, so by flipping it around, you're forcing the darts into a progressively tighter space. That hurts your range dramatically, to say the least. A good idea would be to put a cpvc coupler on the nf, keep the whole turret thing, but make the firefly turret barrels short lengths of cpvc. Then you can just pull it in and out of the coupler.
