Hey, thanks for clicking on this. Anywho, I need help on a cosmetic mod I want to do for an Elite Rayven. I want to make it look like a Halo 4 Battle Rifle. I'm planning on upgrading the voltage, removing locks and installing an ammo counter like on the model in the game, as well as relocating the top rail forward a bit more. The problem I'm having is the rifle is too short, and suggestions on how to make it a little longer and still look like the model? I also want to keep the same bullpup loading system. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is the Rayven too short, or is the Battle Rifle? If the Rayven is too short, I would suggest modifying one of Hasbro's existent barrel extensions. I'm assuming that you don't care that much about ranges, because you are trying to make a nerf gun look like it came from a video game. You could also use some polycarbonate to make a more custom extension to the front of the gun, but I'm not sure if you have the tools and/or materials to do so.

Regardless, good luck with whatever you end up doing.

I was actually thinking of doing something like that. And the Rayven's length is the problem. If I add a barrel extension, hopefully the voltage upgrade will cancel out any drag in the barrel.

or you could go crazy with the mod and install a second flywheel set running higher voltage in the fore section of the blaster.
i'm sure that with a replica shell of a halo battle rifle, there's plenty of room for more motors. if not, the voltage upgrade will make up for the extra barrel length regardless of what motor setup you're using. just hack it, glue in your plastic structures and plates, smooth the shape, give it a little detail and then paint it.

best of luck to the project. i await the fruits of your ambition.

Thanks! I'm possibly making a Halo suit soon, so it'll go pretty nice with it.

Will it be the long, flowing gown type with the feathered wings?

Yes! How'd you know?
