I've been in to Nerf for 2 years now. I've been a member of NH for almost 2 years.

During those almost 2 years, I have filled the boards with dumb noobish questions, and contributed almost nothing.

Today that changes.

I give you my first mod write-up.

The Lanard "Really Shitty When it's Stock" Triple Shot.



I picked this spring gun up during a trip to Value Village for $2 CAD, it even came with one of the stock megas. So naturally, the first thing I did with it was perform a stock range test. This is where it got its nickname. Cock the gun, pull the trigger, watch the dart flail through the air and land 5' in fron of you. By now I'm pumped because I might be able to turn the Lanard "Really Shitty When it's Stock" Triple Shot in to the Lanard "Not so shitty when it's modded" Triple Shot.

Let's get started.

For this mod, you will need:

-Phillips Scrwdriver
-Dremel with grinding attachment
-Goop/Epoxy
-Hotglue
-9" of 17/32 Brass Tubing

First thing we do is take out all the screws. Take them out, but don't try to pull the gun open, it's closed internally somewhere and I didn't feel like breaking anything. Besides, the only thing we'll be working on is the turret. All the air restrictors are in the turret, and we're not doing a spring swap. Pry the front of the gun open just enough to pull out the turret, let the gun snap shut, and put it aside. We won't be needing it until the end.




Here's what we'll be working on today.




See those three screws? Take them out, but don't lose them.




Now you should be able to take the red "cap" off. Do that now.
Next you need to snap the yellow "barrels off. You can get rid of the barrels, but we'll be needing the rest of the turret later.




Now Dremel/Sand/Grind the yellow barrel stubs down.




Now slap you barrels on there over top of what's left of the stubs. I used 3" of 17/32" brass for my barrels. They fit my darts great for spring guns. Glue/Goop/Epoxy them to make a good seal.




See this red turret cap?




Make it look like this with a dremel. The holes should be big enough for you barrels to fit through, but small enough to still support your barrels. Now re-assemble the turret (don't forget the screws!!!) and put a bead of glue around each barrel where it pokes out of the red "cap" to keep them straight and attached.




Now re-assemble the gun. Put the turret back in the same way you got it out, by prying the front of the gun open just a little bit. Screw the gun back together.




Here's what the front of your gun should look like.






Here's the finished product.

It snowed and was generally shitty the day after I finished this mod (last November), so no definite ranges yet. From some testing inside my house, it looks as if it will be good for about 45' to 50'. Darts used were 2" stefans with 1/4" slingshot ammo. I'll have them up as soon as possible.

I thoroughly enjoyed making this gun "not so shitty", and I hope my write-up is helpful to others.

We don't have a mod for this gun in the directory so maybe Forsaken_Angel24 could add it. That'd be cool.

Any comments on how i could improve my next write-up would be greatly appreciated.

Now go shoot foamy things at people.

I was just wondering how many people here played NFL Fantasy Football. If you do, list your lineup, starters, record etc. I'll start.


Starters

QB-Jake Delhomme
RB-Larry Johnson
RB-Willie Parker
WR-Reggie Wayne
WR-T.J. Houshmandzadeh
TE-Dallas Clark
K-Jeff Reed
DST-Panthers


Reserves

QB-Byron Leftwich
RB-Tatum Bell
RB-Fred Taylor
WR-Keenan McCardell
TE-Chris Baker
DST-Giants

After tonights game, I'm now 3-3, and ranked second in my division. After starting 0-3, my players have picked it up and I'm on a 3 game win streak.


GO STEELERS & PANTHERS!

Due to Pissbacon's request, I'm posting pictures of my attempt to do his 4B mod which can be found here.

This is just Pissbacon's original idea, with a few modifications. And I'll warn you, it looks like shit when compared to the original. The breech action is essentially the same (with the coathanger idea), except reversed. Instead of the normal breech where a smaller piece of PVC/brass is inside a larger piece, I have a piece of 1/2" copper (it seems a bit bigger than half inch, even though that's what it says on the copper, the actual ID is 10/16") overtop of a nine inch barrel of 9/16" PETG (fits my darts kind of tight). The copper fit right over the PETG. Although I was sceptical of this at first thinking that the breech in the actual barrel would cause too much friction, I am getting 75' flat consistently with deadly accuracy using 1.5" stefans with size 3/0 lead splitshots for weights. And without further a due, the pictures (ignore the books underneath, they were just used to prop up the gun):





This is the top view of my BBB. Notice the fag stickers. Shut up, I like my fag stickers. And yes, I know the barrel is angled down, but when I shoot, it seems to jump up so the dart flies straight.





This a top view of the breech and clip. Here you can see the breech in the actual barrel. The clip is at an angle to prevent it from interfering with the movement of the copper cover. There is also a nice piece of a Coca-Cola box to prevent the darts from falling out.





This is just another angle of the breech and clip. What really adds to it is the piece of a Trident gum box used in the construction of the clip.





This is just a shot of the breech closed and all that hot glue that really made a mess of things, but hey, function over fashion.





Another picture of the closed breech, just from another angle.

That's all I have for now, and like I said, it looks like shit, but works pretty damn fine. I can't forget this: mad props to Pissbacon for such an original mod, it's what made me want to get a BBB.

I'm in the middle of posting pics of my version of Pissbacon's 4B mod. However, when I preview my post, I get an error message saying that I'm not allowed to post "dynamic" images. If anyone can tell me what this means and/or how to fix it, that would be great.

Edit: Forget I ever said this, I solved my own problem.

One day while using my Supermaxx 1500, I heard air escaping. So, naturally, I put the internals under water and discovered that the leak is coming from here.

It's obvious that I can't use hot glue, epoxy etc. because it's a moving part. Any feedback would be appreciated. I really don't want to have to put it to rest.
