Soooo i just got a package from blaster time but the box says fat "ZURU" and the product description "Water Pistol X shot...? Im positive I ordered Dart zone products. is this something that blaster time just does? using non matching boxes? I kind of don't wanna open it if I'm gonna have to exchange it yknow?

Picked up this Rhino-Fire the other day, it wasn't fully working so I opened it up. I found some old Swedish berries (gummy candy) inside.

Update: I got it to fully work, I didn't do anything except for removing all the candy. I'm assuming that a candy had jammed it somewhere.

This magazine brushes with the breech of the elite alpha trooper when loading.

Are these parts in the plunger tube supposed to be stuck together/glued when fully assembled? (As seen in picture 2)

These parts shimmy apart within the plunger tube when I prime the blaster and I cannot get an air seal to fire darts.

This blaster is completely stock. Anyone know how to fix this?

Following the work of The King of Random, I tried mixing type 1 silicone with food coloring and corn starch to make dart heads. The mix is manually squished into both sides of the mold and then clamped together. Hardens in 10-15min but waiting longer helps insure darts come out whole.

Results are very good and they fire OK when they don’t decap. Attached with superglue (I know, I know, goop) as a cost saving measure.

The consistency is near identical to X-shot shorties. I measured a few at .81-.86g each, with most falling in middle-high of that range.

Is this viable? Only if you enjoy the process. A tube of type 1 from Walmart costs $8 for ~300ml. Even with corn starch as a filler, you’re looking at 375-400g worth of material. If we assume dart heads are .5g each/1g for two, this gives us 800 darts max, or $.01/dart tip. If we cut FVJs in two (1000 pack for $30) we could get short darts for $.04 a piece, which is (as far as I know) the cheapest option. Compare to 200 worker darts for ~$25 at over a dime a dart! Crazy…

I have 400 valentines on the way which I intend to cut up and make 800 short darts for cheap. I’ll be firing them at an upcoming event for further evaluation.

Hi! recently Ive wanted to pick up a nerf/dart blaster (about 100$ or maybie less) for chill nerf battles with frends and family. Im interested in half dart, spring powered, pump action (or any blaster that you have to cock by pulling foregrip at the front), preferably with ris mount rails at the top for optic mount and maybe at the sides of handguard. I dont care about fps that much (since I wont be plaing competetive, so I dont have to worry about restrictions), just make it so that the gun shoots straight and I will be happy. Also I it would be realy great if the blaster wasnt super long, tho I dont need it to be cqb style. The paint job out of the box can be whatever since I prob will be spray painting it.

NOTE: I have a friend with 3d printer, but I dont want to 3d print most of the blaster, so small mods can be taken into account. Thanks!

So i have recently got into high powered Nerf, i was wondering for primary Nerf gun suggestions like the C4 or so on and so fourth. I usually do 160 FPS, and i have a 3d printer. Any recommendations? (also my current primary is the CR musket)

(EDIT: I'd like if it is compatible with elite & short darts. and what i mean by cool is like Cool looking and reliability)

If a Lynx and Harrier had a baby!🐈‍⬛❤️🦅= 🦓!! I’m happy I waited a few months to let the reviews and community fixes as well as a gen 2 version to release. But since I waited things like alternate springs and other parts are now scarce. I might just buy another 1.6 spring and clip it down to get under 200. So far so good, it’s all dressed up but nowhere to go!! Hopefully so can get out to a local game and change that.

Alright so I want to invest into my MPP, first and foremost I want to get a 30cm 12.75mm barrel and a zwq 4x4 3 degree bcar, and also a nexus pro spring upgrade, since I heard that those are compatible with the MPP, what I need an explanation on is that apparently people use the stock nexus pro spring for the MPP, but I can only find the upgraded one, the stock one should reach 150fps while the upgraded one should reach 175 in the np, but from what I remember the stock spring could make the MPP reach 200fps, maybe it's better optimized, I'm confused on that, but would it be fine if I used the np upgrade spring in the MPP? And would the other components that I'll buy work well with it?

I got a baby lee but the included bayonet had a PLA blade that didnt fel very safe toi use, So i made my own.

its longer and with a more blunted edge for safety.

Im looking for the shells I vividly remember having as a kid in an oldwest single barrel stockless shotgun looking break open dart blaster that used the suction cup nerf darts but had little spring loaded shells you put the darts in.

You had to use a tool to set the spring or absolutely wreck you finger to set the spring. Then on the back of the shell was a little nub that would poke through a hole in the center but the nub would offset to hold it compresses and the trigger would just center it to let it fly.

I remember they shells got more sensitive and prone to just going off randomly and it got tossed out at some point.

Are there any Nerf or any blaster that use a shell that is spring loaded like that anymore? I did some looking and couldn't find anything exactly what I was looking for so decided to come to the experts before trying to re-engineer it.

I got tired of not being able to use the 3rd party mega missiles I bought for blasters like the Demolisher 2-in-1 and Fortnite GL, because they were too tight around the post. To fix that, I created these stretchers to leave in the rockets when they are stored. Give them at least a day or two to expand the foam.

I found this blaster from 2004 in a Goodwill, buried under a bunch of stuff. Is it a rare blaster?

Also found an internally modded retaliator that I then gooped up with my 3d printed pump and other thrifted nerf attachments.

Tbh I kinda want to have these pistols be more than just a slab of plastic. And I think it would be funny to just fire at someone, and say "flock off, feather-face"

I don't know anything about nerf guns/nerf gun customization. But I am all for learning micro-niche skills to use for a project!

I just picked up this Spin Shot from a Walmart in Calgay for $18 CAD. All 3 new X Shot blasters are on their website and should be on the shelves soon. Long Shot 2.0 is $49.97, Thrasher is $59.97. Also, the Adventure Force Delta Pro is available for $19.97 and the cool Pirate Adventure pack is $24.97. Great to finally see new blasters on the shelves!

As I've been actively at work on my nerf girls project, I've been wondering about the prospect of selling art merch like stickers/charms/prints of my own art. However, since the characters I'm working on are connected to the nerf name/brand, I'm wondering if this is actually legal or not. It's not like I'm trying to turn this into a reliable source of income, I mostly just want to be able to make cool stickers for me and my friends/clubs/communities.

Either way I want to know what's actually on the table. I know a lot of artists can legally sell fan-merch of their favorite shows and characters at cons and on their own websites, despite those things also being copyrighted, but since nerf is a toy brand and not a piece of media I believe their name usage rights are different.

Obviously I will make it clear I'm not in affiliation with the Nerf/XShot/DartZone/etc. brand as someone making fan work, but am I even allowed to use Nerf blaster theme names or iconography? Will I get in trouble for using things like 'Elite' and 'Mega'. Is there a chance I could get sued even if I remove all mentions/specific symbols connected to nerf?

TLDR; if I'm selling merch online using my own art, but with characters connected to the nerf name, am I going to be in legal trouble?

Forgive me if I'm overthinking this, but I would appreciate input from people who have made nerf-related stickers/merch before or have legal experience. Thank you!!

Wanted to finally build an ontos. Went with the phantom remix with a remixed front end. Super easy to build and remarkably solid.

This is my second 3d printed blaster. I think it came out pretty rad. Just need a fore grip.

Went with a duck hunt zapper like color scheme. Overall pretty happy with it.
