Painted Proton

A friend emailed me the other day asking about how to mod a Vortex Proton. She recently emailed me with this picture of her newly painted Proton! Thought you guys might want to see it. She also completed the standard spring relocation mod and should be getting about 75'. I'm not going to post a writeup for this mod for two reasons: 1. it can easily be found elsewhere and 2. I don't have a vortex gun so I can't add pictures. Check out modworks.blogspot.com for a writeup on the spring relocation mod.

Rogue/NF intergration

As you guys saw on youtube I have finished (not really) my HvZ NF which now has a BB Rogue mounted on it.

More after the jump....

UK modding materials part 1: Adhesives

Lo all. TheRoboteer here. And today i'm bringing you the first part of a little series which I hope will help budding UK modders find materials more easily. As UK modders will no doubt know, materials are pretty scarce in the UK so in this first part i'm going to be focusing on adhesives.

The article is after the split

Elite Sharpshot


This is a Sharpshot that I have modded and painted in Elite Colours. It was inspired by Bazookafied's Elite Longshot and Whiteout Sharpshot.  

More after the split
I used Revell Ultramarine Blue and White enamel paint for painting and detailing.
Mods done to the Sharpshot consist of AR removal, air hole covered up, seal improvement and spring replacement.
It gets ranges of 50-60ft.
It was my first paint job therefore the detailing isn't first class , and in the future I would like to get a thinner brush
I also plan to brass it in the future

It has been minimised, dart pegs taken out of the belt and the AR's taken out. It also has a reversible ( ghetto ) 12v mod. More pictures after the split.

Advanced Nerf Jolt Mod

I had a spare coupler sitting around so I decided to throw it onto my jolt so I could increase the rate of fire. Ranges increased slightly vs the original barrel without AR's, but it was a small increase. A full writeup of what I did sits after the split.

Pistol Splat: My Style

Lo all, It's TheRoboteer here. As you may know Arctic nerf and my native blog Nerf Universal recently merged. I recently posted this over there, so I figured I may aswell add it here too.
Anyway onto the post. When I was on holiday I gave in and bought a Blue Pistol Splat, and i'm pleased to report that it is almost 2x as powerful as my Wipeout Splat.
Anyway, I know what you really want to see are the pics, so here they are :)

Overall pic. With a photobomb from my new
favourite tool :)
 
The buissness end. I decieded to glue the barrel in because
i'm only going to be front loading darts because it's going to be a stock dart
secondary
FPS- supah leet view :)

Coded darts...Internal differences

Hey guys it's Frost and today I am going over coded darts!

You may know about different code darts, but I found internal differences!



Code E (left) and Code K (right)

Fully automatic blowgun

This just became my new primary. With a regular barrel, it's dead accurate out to 70'. Fill the barrel with darts for a shotgun blast that's sure to hit whatever you point it at. Slap on a wye and: tada! Fully automatic blowgun with high range and accuracy. Watch the demo below.

Rayven "Resistors" (Rayven, Part 2)

This is the second of a four part series detailing Rayven modifications. In this post, we will examine the so called "Resistors" in the Rayven and examine whether or not they are worth taking out.

This is the first of a four part series showcasing the Rayven. In this post, I will show you haw to increase your Rayven's voltage from 6v to 12v without soldering. This mod is for those of you who don't have all the tools needed for other mods, all this mod requires is a knife. Full write-up after the split.

New Elite Product

I was wandering around eBay today and stumbled across a cool new Elite product. It's called the Hail-Fire Upgrade kit. This kit gives you the four clips and 24 darts you need in order to fill up your Hail-Fire. This kit is also useful for those of us who want Elite darts, but can't afford a full Elite gun. I haven't seen this anywhere else so I can't give you guys a price on it, but it's still a cool product.

Minimized Vulcan

Vulcans are bulky, heavy, and hard to wield in CQB. This mod, inspired by Darth Rambo, aims to change that. This is more of a demo than a write-up, it was kinda complicated. More after the split.

"Ambidextrous" Raider Drum

If you have ever tried using a Raider dart drum in a pump-action Longshot, you will understand the usefulness of this mod which will let you use a raider drum backwards. More after the split.

*Edit* I just saw that SGNerf posted a similar tutorial on his site a day before I posted this. My mod is slightly different than his and I preformed it several days ago (The EXIF data on my pictures can prove that). This was an original mod that I came up with.
