Alright, i'll start things off by saying i found one of these things sitting all alone on a random shelf in the Lego section at my local Walmart. I picked it up in the hopes that it was a bigger panther, and i was correct. This thing is a monster and shoots elites like no other, i have no areas to range test this blaster, but it hits hard, very hard.

MOD GUIDE STARTS HERE
_____________________________________________________

REMOVE ALL THE SCREWS FIRST, THERE ARE NO HIDDEN SCREWS

Here is a basic picture of the blaster



Start off buy getting yourself a small Flathead screwdriver(SMALL!!)



Take your screw driver and start to pry off this orange ring that sits around the trigger button.



It should not be hard, and should look like this:



Next, begin to pry apart the shell. Start at the end with the pump handle. The orange muzzle thing at the other end will prohibit you opening the shell fully



Alright, now make sure to grab the pump tube as well as the pump plunger, pry open the shell as far as you can and start to pull on the internals



The internals are not glued screwed or otherwise attached to the blaster in any way, they should come out easily and look like this:



Now remove the pump handle and get your glue of choice, We are plugging the pump (its exactly the same as a panther):
Put glue on the head of the plunger, along with the hole in the side.





Now get yourself a saw( I used a hacksaw) and locate the barrel on the internals. Cut off the barrel just below the two holes in the sides, NO LOWER NO HIGHER!



Now file down the edges of the barrel to make it a little less rough, The Blaster will now shoot elite darts, along with buzzbees and stefans( and megas??).



This concludes the guide, Simply follow the instructions in reverse if your having trouble with reassembly

Pro tips for this blaster, i killed darts so you don't have to.



-4-5 pumps is the breaking point for standard elites

-Buzzbee "airmax extreme" darts will do 10-15 pumps without breaking

-I'm 90% sure the gun will work with mega darts, but had none to test it with

-The gun shoots harder than the panther, with a bigger tank and the ability to do 20+ pumps

-(or so i heard) the gun uses a different valve than the panther, Something about a "piston" valve ( i have no clue what this means)

- this is my favorite way to hold it :




HAVE FUN WITH THIS BEAST!!

(This is my first mod, its not perfect, but its pretty good)
