I went and bought a Sonic Bazooka ($7.99 at Kinney Drugs) today. It is basically a mini Big Blast by its looks and they both have very similar internals.

This is probabley the easiest gun to mod in the history of Nerf and knock off Nerf guns. I don't have any pics, but I can describe it so that you will be able to do it without any problems. Here ya go:

Open up all the screws. They are nice quality screws and won't strip like some other screws (AT2K screws). Once the screws are out just pull the gun apart. It might give some resistant but just give a nice solid and careful pull and it will pop right open.
Take the air plunger out of the gun. It will come right out along with an orange piece that holds the two pieces together. There are three holes on the end of the plunger. Plug them up with some glue and try to get them as neat and flat as possible.
Then take the barrel and air chamber. Saw off a little more than half of the barrel. I then got 7.5" of CPVC and put some hot glue around the top end of the CPVC and insert it into the barrel you just cut. It will fit right into it perfectly without any sanding. When the glue has dried tape around the hot glue with Duct or Electrical tape for some stability.

Then take your parts and put it back together just like it was when stock. The gun will now get at least 90 feet a shot if not more. Very nice range. I pump it 8 times, which is when it becomes hard to pump. You might be able to pump it more times and get better range, but do it at your own risk.

My only complaint is that it is kind of hard to pull back when pumping. It makes it a little hard to actually use in a Nerf war, but maybe some might not be like mine. I'm not sure.

Alas! I modified my sonic bazooka today and was planning on doing a write-up. Good job beating me to the punch, it's a nifty little gun, especially since the people I play with expect so little of it.

[PREDATOR]

Its good someone put a write up on one of these.I see you figured out how to plug the pump.I did a similar mod about year ago.

-good job

I haven't seen this gun yet and, yes I know you don't have pics, but I would like to get some pics of it.

I plan on making a RIS system for the LS once I get a shotgun grip mod for it. And one of the atatchments was a grenade launcher. I really wanted to put the LBB on the bottom, but it was obvious that it was too large. So, if it works with the same rocket, I would like to see a pic so I know what to look for.

[PREDATOR]

The lbb rockets are to big for the sb ,but the gun is defenitly smaller. My camera isn't working , so when ever I get a new one or get the old one fixed I'll post some pics.

Glad to see you got that thing modded! I also have never seen the gun before. Actually, I don't think I've ever heard of it until just recently. Well, good job on the mod and write up. I'm also interested in seeing some pictures of this gun.

[Forsaken angel24]

Nerfornothin, if you can post some pics I will be sure to add it to the directory.

Excellent. I've never heard of the Sonic Bazooka, and, sadly, I don't believe that I have a Kinney Drugs near where I live. However, I am instantly intrigued by the 90' mark that you believe the gun hits.


Muwahaha. Thank you for this gift to Nerfers.

[NiteWalker]

Here is a pic of it.

I think it would be a great gun to integrate. It's fairly compact and has nice range.

[Substance Abuse]

It looks like a crappy Knock-off gun from the outside but as all can see it has potential. Lots of Potential.

I cant wait to get my hands on one of these and give it a nice paintjob.

Great Mod and Great Write Up.

Fred's is also a good place to find the sb.

[Cmdrmack]

Yeah, Fred's is where I got mine, the range and accuracy are pretty impressive, and it's formidable for only $8.

[Nerfornothing]

I know it gets at least 90 if not more. I will test tomorrow with my 165' measuring tape (as long as weather is permitting).
