dig it! is it just a painting trick or did you really put a back plate on the cut down flashlight case/laser holder?

Also props on the paint job being so clean. I would have used vinyl dye because i'm a durability whore but whatev. great results.


I used custom cut pieces of orange foamie. Honestly, it turned out better than I expected.

In terms of paint, I used a few coats of Flat Black Krylon's Fusion for Plastic, and a few coats of Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Flat Matte Clear. I wanted to use vinyl dye but couldn't find it here in Puerto Rico. No primer was used.

Would it be possible to wire up two separate pressure switches on the handle of the blaster, instead of the toggle switches? I'm not at all familiar with circuitry.


It is possible to wire it using any kind of switches. That's a great idea. Are you thinking "momentary push button" switches or more like "handgun pressure switches"? However I don't know how easy it would be to control 2 different pressure switches on the grip. Any ideas?

I solder using this R95 mask/respirator I got at the Home Depot. It should give you some decent protection and it's very efficient in reducing the burning flux odor (which I really really hate). On top of this I solder with a fan right behind me so that the fumes disperse more quickly.

In Topic: Nerf Elite Strongarm Spring Replacement Questions

03 May 2013 - 08:06 PM

Hi, I got a strong arm rather recently and wanted to do a spring replacement, but wasn't sure what spring or combination of springs to use. I was thinking of using a stock spring from another Nerf blaster in combination with the stock strong arm, but haven't noticed any that would work.


You can get one from Orange Mod Works.
