[the nerf father]

Hi everyone, This is my first posted mod on this site...every friday we nerf in my church and ive been using a lot of the mods from these forums for my guns. My "arsenal" right now consists of 5 NFs, 3 Mavs, 1 FF and 1 LS. Im getting better at mods(NFs arent a challenge at all) so i decided to tackle the task of modding my LS. I dont have many tools like a dremmel or stuff like that, so i just do the really basic stuff(AR removals, Better Springs, Banded plungers)...Anyway, i lost all my original streamline darts and had to come up with a way to mod the majority of my darts, taggers. what i did was take some scissors and cut the little areas in between the velcro out, making 4 holes around the tip and thus thhinning the diameter of the tip. this is just temporary some cons include having to load one dart at a time because when they load from the clip they dont go all the way back in the chamber. I dont know if ne one has done this but i dont know how to make steffens and i needed more darts for the LS. the modded darts work exactly the same in all my other guns, not spinning or losing range. Ill try to get some pics of the modded darts soon...feedback is encouraged

A few people have done that, or simply removed the head completely and replaced it with a weight glued in place. It works.

All you need to do to make the Longshot compatible with 2-inch length stefans is get a paring knife or non-serated steak knife and insert it into the backside of the bolt (where you had to drill a hole to remove the restrictor).
Then while its blade is sitting against the frame supports of the peg use a hammer to lightly tap it until you've cut away the supports.
Smaller X-acto knives will work as well.

I didn't have any drill bits long enough and I avoid having to drill near thin plastic whenever I can help it.

I can give you a quick verbal, but have no pictures.

1. Clip off the top portion of the dart. (top half of the velcro head. You shouldn't be cutting foam right now.

2. peel back the remaining head, and pull it out away from the dart. This will expose a small, thin rod of plastic/rubber that goes into the foam. clip it off.

3. Now, there should be foam and what appears to be a cylinder that has a convenient BB size hole through the middle. put a bit of super glue in the hole, and stick in two BBs.(just enough so they go in)

4. Cap the dart off with a hotglue doam, or what ever your choice of tip is.

Hey thanks a lot

[Gengar003]

I would not use super glue - it seems over-complicated and possibly damaging to the foam. Just sitck a dab of hot glue in first, then the 2 BBs, then the hot glue dome.

Again thx, 2 questions though....1.will these darts all work normal and in all guns?....2.what are range add ons with these specific addition to the dart?

[commander erik]

1: Yes, but you may have to shave off about 1/4" off in order for them to fit in the mav turret (and the FF, I think.)
2: Depends on the gun, and the barrel, but anywhere from 10-30 feet with most stock barrels. That vaires a lot on your dart making skills, though.

k thx man....although the only thing is for your ply to question 1...i cut that cross bar center piece outta the firefly so every dart fits in it without getting stuck.

u nerf in ur church... god probably doesnt like that

[CaptainSlug]

God has a sense of humor. But he doesn't particularly like ignorance.

Actually, I'm pretty sure God loves ignorance. Hence the Forbidden Apple which cast off Adam and Eve's ignorance, causing God to get really emo and kicked humanity out of Eden.

What a jerk.

Are you sure you should use 2 bb's, or is it different if you're trying to optimize it for the LS?

[PREDATOR]

Okay we are not discussing God. Instead of putting bb's in your darts 1/4 slingshot weights work better. You can get them at walmart, sports authority, etc.
