Finally I managed to mod my own Nite Finder. Hope you like it like I do.
I have added a Tic-Tac box so I can carry around my Darts.
Range: 50 ~ 60 feet

Nice job, what are you using for a barrel?

[Chessler]

I don't know the exact measures of the barrel, but it fits Micro Darts perfectly and is made out of Iron.

You read right. Iron, not Brass.

[Gamefreak]

It's conduit, metal conduit. I was using it for a while it works well but is awefully heavy. This is all spectalion that it truely is conduit.

[Chessler]

Whatever it is, it works great.

That looks pretty sweet. I also liked how you did the photography...the nitefinder standing triumphant against all odds, with it's companions, whistling micros, in the warming glow of the sun. Or I guess I could've avoided using all the imagery and crap and said "nice picture".

How many darts can you fit in that tic tac box on there?

[Chessler]

3 normal size Whistle Darts and about 6~7 Homemade Nanodarts.

[Renegade]

This may sound n00bish, but what's a nanodart?

[GeneralPrimevil]

Probaly a really small stefan, like an inch long or something.

[Chessler]

Really small, like 3,2 cm's.

[Arcanis]

I remember that someone made a topic about 3/8 FBR stefans. He called them nanodarts...

[Chessler]

No, that wasn't me. Looks like somebody had the Idea before me. Didn't know that.

[frigginninja]

Wow. Iron conduit. That kicks ass, but does it work with stock darts very well? I'm modding my own nite finder and I'm trying to decide what to use. I do like a heavy feel in general.

I'm a complete newb at nerf modification, but it's going pretty well. I replaced the lame laserpointer with a black mini-maglite. It has potential . . .

Good friggin idea, .... friggin.

Whoa, that rules! Nice paint job too

I didn't cut off the front on mine, just the ammo holder. I still have a bit of sanding to do . . . and mine isn't going to have a nice silencer on it like that. I think I'm going to use iron conduit for the barrel if it's supposed to work well. I will try to post pictures in a week or so.

[NinjZ]

Only use it if it fits your darts well though.

Is the inside the the conduit smooth enough so it wont tear up your darts?

[Chessler]

Update:



Guess what Blaster I added?

[NinjZ]

I forget its name, but its that brass nuckles 4 shot gun. I did the same thing with mine except It it wasnt powerfull enough for a good enough shotgun blast power, so it never got intagrated.

[Chessler]

Right! It's called the NitroQuad.

It shoots Micros about 45~50 feet.

[FIDO]

Dang! that thing looks intimidating. Nice job Chessler!

my nite finder is as loud as a bitch what can i do

[Chessler]

my nite finder is as loud as a bitch what can i do

It is a spring-powered blaster so of course it's loud.
An unmodded Nite Finder is usually more quiet because of the air restrictor.

I don't know what you could do.
