"How can this be anything different than what has already been done?"
This is just a normal Barricade clip mod. What makes this different than the others is how it feeds darts from the clip system.
So instead of reinventing the wheel, I will post what I used and what you already know.

After I finished doing the Barricade clip mod, I found that there were a LOT of reliability issues due to mechanical malfunctions.
I will list the issues as follows:
1) Failure to load: This occurs when the darts are too far to the rear inside the magazine. The first dart will get compressed underneath the dart pusher and the rear lip of the magazine.
2) Failure to cycle: This occurs after a dart has successfully fired and the dart pusher fails to cycle back. The reason for this is because the dart pusher will catch and drag on the next dart that is in the process of feeding.
3) Failure to feed: This is similar to failure to load. When the previous dart is successfully fired the dart pusher will rake the next dart in the processes of feeding to the rear of the chamber and the dart will get stuck underneath the dart pusher.
Even step 6 is this guild: http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=20553 does not solve the mechanical malfunctions.
A tighter retraction spring helps but jams were still occurring very often. Sometimes you could double tap and hope the dart pusher would rake the dart into the fly wheels, but I don't like to operate on hope.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...What is the solution to a more dependable clip system barricade?
Its nothing too innovative, or super extra special. I just added a feeding ramp to the clip well. Pictures as follows:
Like I said, it really isn't anything mind blowing. But it does the job of putting the darts where they need to be.
As you can see from the pictures I've did the normal taping of the fly wheels with electrical tape (which is not optional if you want it to work with streamline darts).
I also removed the barrel and increased the voltage with 3.6v batteries.
I only glued this half so I could show you guys the inside and so I could work on it if needed in the future.
Well that's it. That's the Blood Angel Barricade. A normal Barricade Clip Mod with an added feed ramp. But that feed ramp changes EVERYTHING.
