I've always hated the idea that when you have the bolt in the forward position, the clip's sorta locked in there. Looks unrealistic if you ask me, it should be able to come out whenever. Today, I just had an idea to do that, unfortunately, I don't have the free plastic to build the part I need, but it'll be here if any of you want to try it.
First, obviously, you need to rip out the part that prevents the clip release from working when you have the bolt in the forward postion. It's this small black piece i think connected to the trigger from the clip release catch. After that, you would put the rifle back together. Get a saw or something and cut off the complete top part of your clip. Then, take out the part that pushes out the darts and cut out a small portion of it at the end facing the groove where the clip release goes into. Make a small piece of plastic that fits the groove of the clip release from the inside of the gun, and attach it to a long piece of plastic that'll jut out towards the center of the clip. Hot glue it to a pin, then hot glue the pin to the inside of the clip so that the plastic part that fits the clip release can pivot around.
Basically, when you load darts into the clip now, the small plastic part fits into the clip release and the top part of the plastic that it's connected to holds the darts in. When you put it into the rifle though, the clip release will push the plastic out, thereby pushing out the plastic part at the top of the clip and feeding in darts to the rifle. Hitting the clip release with the bolt pushed forward however, and the clip will be able to drop out, since the top part of the clip that usually locks into the rifle has been sawn off.
Idk, it's an idea.
