9V will burn out 3 ultrabrights from radioshack, you will need resistors. i reccomend a 330 ohm 1/4 watt resistor. I used it on my maverick mod.

Dude, thanks for this. The easiest electric mod is the nite finder, I was one of the few who developed nite nerf integration, but you have made it easier for others. Really soon, I want to try a nite vision scope, with IR LEDs.

But yes, at one point, on the mother of mods contest, I had posted a lot of mods that I did. The maverick is sort of a challenge, but wiring works at some point.

First of all:

RULES FOR LED INTEGRATION:
There is no such thing as too many, pretty much an LED is a short circuit, controlled. It is easiest to work with 2 AAs, AAAs, C, D, anything battery that is 1.5 volt, use 2.

for LEDs: Use standard ultrabright 5 mm or 10 mm leds, you can hook them in parallel and get tons to light up if done right, with only 3 volts, on a 3.2 volt led. with 9 volts, you should use a 330 ohm, 1/4 watt resistor to get 3.2 volts exact.

switches: put them near the front (stock) of a gun or a toggle switch near the trigger.

for the LED mounting: drill out your placing that you want with a bit that is slightly bigger than the LED, it will stop because they have a lip. In between every lead, on the bulb, add some hot glue to seperate the leads. don't even solder, just twist them together, they aren't going anywhere, and you will only cause problems. for mavericks and longshots, put your battery in the handle, it provides counter balance, and it can have a hinge added onto it for easy access, but you prolly won't ever replace the battery, anyway. it's an LED. minimal power consumption.

I like the look of the blasters with the LEDs, but its not really a mod to post on the mod contest because it does not increase the ability of the blaster.

WARNING, THE FOLLOWING LINE CONTAINS A NOOB MOVE. READER DIGRESSION ADVISED.

If you are so interested in enhancing blasters with electronic abilities, why don't try making an extension for or a blaster that has a hinge and basic video that allows you to see and shoot around corners (like in the move Wanted but maybe less cumbersome).

You do know that the Nazis Effeminately failed at that one...correct?

That does sound cool, but it found be easier to just put a mirror at a 45 degree angle on the top.

also, darts + corner piping= friction= no aiming reference= somebody figuring out your idea before you can take the extension off after you fire once.

but still, the intrigue...

I guess the better mod from all your comments is to buy some really expensive UV LEDS, whic hhas no MCDs at all, but still make things glow sorta. I think you just have to understand that switch placement makes this mod quite practical, and was intended for games of humans vs zombies.

but I digress.

I actually thought of the camera flash, also. But unfortunately, with capacitor charging capabilities, you'd get not more than 100 shots out of two AAs. Also, With night nerfing, you have to assume that everyone else has a light, too. With tactical lights. you will have your light on the cocking mechanism on the maverick. They are flimsy and quite useless on a maverick, as you would be holding the light to cock the gun.

Along with this, the nitefinder mod is quite genious, seeing normally, the NF pretty much has no laser coming out of there. And if any, still uselss for nite nerf.

The Longshot mod was my original, and while it did cause a big target, you could leave your front gun behind and cause your enemies to be seen without a point of reference for them to see you.

Also, with these mods, you can clearly tell if someone is cheating. You are pretty much confirming you got hit, or you hit someone. Those lights don't lie.

Soon to come: UV nite-vision scope. with telescoping lens.

My friend has an odd blacklightish thing he uses. It doesn't produce light but makes the color orange glow. Quite handy for seeing barrel tips, triggers and darts at night. It's actually quite practical.

This is quite similar, while it produces a blue light that cuts off all nightvision gained, it also has a high enough UV rating to illuminate orange tips on darts, barrels, etc. This ensures a quick find for a dart at night, in comparison to endless flashlight nonsense.
