I have recently modded a nf, and the darn thing only shoots like 35-40 ft. I have taken out the air restricters, added rubber bands(industrial strength rubber bands), taken out the laser, added a flashlight where the laser used to be ,and added two mini led black lights to the top. I even lubricated the plunger, any suggestions??

ps: ill try and add a pic later.

What kind of barrel material are you using, and what kind of darts?

[mad mike]

im using the stock barrel and stock darts.

Then unfortunately you've reached probably near the average distance (flat) that you are going to be able to with a NF.

You need to install a new barrel, and/or change your darts, to get the maximum amount of effectiveness out of your NF.

thanks for the info.


oh, and i forgot that i moved one of the ammo holders to where the batteries used to go.

You could also wrap the plunger head in three layers of e-tape and replace the stock spring with something stronger.

I added a mavrick spring to my stock NF spring and it gets maybe 55 feet leavel. AR removed no bands.

edit: Sorry I didn't mention I also added a EX-3 o-ring along with the orginal NF o-ring.

ill try the e-tape if I can find some.

Also if you don't want to replace the spring you could just strech it out.

[Snazzy Q]

That works, but stretching eventually makes the spring weaker. Take it out and go to Ace hardware, they usually have a large selection of springs. Find one that's roughly the same size but harder to compress.

[Hamsterdam]

I stretched my spring to about 2.5 times its normal length and it got about 65 feet.

[lupo92]

or u can put spacers in there

example: take apart the plunger and put washers behind the spring...

[trogdor65]

If you want to use household materials for a barrel give it a crayola barrel.

[mad mike]

thanks for the tips. I will try to get to ace hardware soon so i can find a stronger spring, any more suggestions would be great.

[Nerfnewbie]

If your bord and wanna do somthing before you go to Ace, you could cut it down to a smaller size if you don't mind taking the flashllight out. This doesn't add any range, but it will fit in your pocket easier.

[mad mike]

thanks for the tip, ill keep it in mind.

[moubeus5018]

My nf is plenty powerfull but i still want more. It has cpvc barrel, no air restrictors, and i use 2 bands. any suggestions?

[General Cole]

New spring, more bands.

[mad mike]

Well I decided just to go with the crayola marker barrel, since i have way to many dried out markers at home. I aslo took out the flashlight and put in a laser that was for my automatic airsoft gun(it works great). I took off the origional barrel and put it over the laser so it fits in with the rest of the gun better.

i have pics now but i cant seem to put them in. can somebody tell me how please
