I was doing ompa's hornet mod. I didn't have a dremel and improvised and used a drill. worked fine, until I tried to drill trhough the white disk. I noticed some black plastic came out. When I had one barrel done, I pumped the gun up to test it out. But the drilled barrel just let the air out. I haven't checked the internals yet because I was hoping there was some way to fix it without taking it apart. Any help would be appreciated.

I really should reevaluate my Nerf carreer. I have been ultimated multiple times in a war, shot by a girl with an arced NF, and EMBARASSED by a 6 year old in quidditch on xbox. What am I doing with my life?

Despite the fact that air chambers like the blastfire are quite fragile, I found that these can take quite a beating from the barrel end, as that white disk seems to protect the valve itself... You actually want to VERY CAREFULLY drill these out.
According to what ompa advises, I don't think that there's any easy or practical way to repair the gun. I believe that the black plastic was part of the actual valve itself, and that ompa only drilled through the white disk to increase airflow. I could be wrong, but this is what I gather from ompa's mod page and some logical assumptions.

During my experiences, I have to say you ruined 1 barrel. Sorry, but I think you may have to plug the barrel and have a five shot hornet. THat happened to me, but it was more of a lemon than me breaking it.

Cut off the air-tank, leaving some vinyl tubing, and partially fill the vinyl tubing up with plumber's goop.
