Here it is, it fits in well with the rest of the 2011/2012 Dart Tag line.
This blaster is pretty much a remake of the Scout IX-3. It has similar internals, capacity and looks. Here's a size comparison, although it's slightly longer and wider than the Scout.
In order to get into the blaster, you need to unscrew the three screws on the cocking handle. They are all the same size.
You will need to remove or cut the sticker at the bottom of the blaster, I don't know if all blasters have this or if it was just where I placed the sticker.
Remove the outer layer of the blaster by unscrewing the five screws. You can remove this permanently or re-attach it later.
The shell of the blaster looks like this when the final five screws are removed, coming to a total of thirteen screws. Unscrewing this blaster is a breeze by the way, extremely simple and easy.
These are the internals. Standard internals for a reverse-plunger blaster.
Let's focus on just this. You can swap/add another spring, but be sure to re-inforce the cocking bar if you do. I have had this happen to a Crossfire which was broken when the cocking bar's foundation snapped.
Take your drill and drill out the four pegs on this.
I suck at drilling, but get rid of that piece. rip it out with some plyers when you are done.
Then, go in and drill out the peg/peg stand. This may take a while, but when it's finished the air restrictor should come out, as long as you remove the back of the air restrictor before you do it. It's a weird looking air restrictor.
See this? Another hole in the barrel.
Not anymore. Get some tape and put a piece over it. This should help. Gluing or epoxying it will also probably work just as good.
Put everything back in the right places once you're done that.
The best way to get everything to work good is to put the cocking handle through the spring hoop before you should put the body on.
Slide the other side back onto the blaster, making sure everything fits good.
Place the cocking handle back on, and if you want, the other plastic piece. I'm attempting to paint it, so it wont be coming back on for a little bit. It should look nice when finished. Now, this blaster is a good blaster, what it should have been. I don't know about ranges yet, but it's a definite improvement, although still lacking. This blaster is seriously lacking still when compared to a Nite Finder, but is still a good sidearm if you modify it correctly. It's just a fun little blaster that I enjoyed messing around with. Thanks for reading.
