Thanks Tech. My general goal in modding is to try to come up with stuff that works well, is relatively easy, and is new and innovative. A barrel replacement is my next move.

Try it Lein. It helps to have a bunch of darts instead of just three or so.

Also, the guy in your av was bobbing his head to the song "Bust a Move" while I was reading. It's pretty cool.

Herpderp, I copied-and-pasted this from FU and I forgot to add that the fifty-foot range was with a custom dart with a Sharpie cap over the tip.

This is the writeup for the modded Nitefinder that Stankity and I created, which we dubbed the Fiendfinder. The end product will look something like this:



The steps to make your very own are right below!

You will need:
One Nitefinder
One Dremel, with cutting, sanding, utility bits, etc.
The two ammo holders from the back of a Firefly
Gorilla Glue
A hair dryer or other air-heating tool, possibly
A Sharpie


00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000


Stankity and I used a Nitefinder with minimal modding, namely the AR removal as well as lopping off the weird angled part at the front of the barrel. Our first move was minimizing this thing.

First, we cut into the separate halves of the shell with a Dremel.








The underside of the minimized front:





So now we can get started on the important part of this mod; almost quadrupling the ammo capacity of the Nitefinder.

First we took the ammo holders from the back of a junked Firefly.




We then used the Dremel to cut off then sand down the pegs that connected the two, as well as sanding the remaining bits of peg down to a level flush with the rectangular border.





Then, screw the two halves of your Nitefinder together (without the internals) and go outside somewhere.



We've used the sanding head on the Dremel to make the lines where we minimized smoother, as well as the top parts of the sides, so the ammo holders will attach more easily.

Now, take one side of your gun and place that face-up. Apply a medium-heavy amount of Gorilla glue to both the remaining parts of the peg-posts on the holder you're using, and apply it to the Nitefinder where the two will meet. Hold them together tightly for a couple of minutes, then let it dry in the sun or use a hairdryer to achieve a quicker result.

This is what the first side looks like:




Do the same to the other side.





Sadly, we couldn't take pictures of this next step, as the computer we took our pics with was charging and unusable. However, detailed instructions follow.

This details how to add the two extra dart holders in the handle of the Nitefinder.

Take one of the two-dart holders from the front of the gun and place it over the bottom of the handle with the two holes lined up with the battery slots. They won't line up perfectly and the front hole will be too small. Take a Sharpie and trace the outline of where the holder is, then remove the holder and take the two halves of the shell and Dremel out a space for the holder along the lines you dres, as well as cutting the space down in the forward hole so the holder will line up with it.

You'll only want to glue the holder into one half of the shell, as this allows the two halves to still fit together as well as come apart if necessary.




The finished product of that step. The top hole is the one where you'll need to cut down the wall of the battery housing.

And now, the finished product!








Stankity and I did an unofficial range test, and as he said earlier, it gets ~50', not too bad.

Please, post, post, and post (as long as its not a necro).

Yeah, Necroing's my job.

Yeah, from lurking on NH before I ever tried to register, I gleaned that pretty quickly. They seem like a bunch of pompous pricks.
8  Everything Nerf. / Help / Re: Seeking input on a Firefly/Nitfinder combomod. on: August 22, 2011, 09:44:36 pm
Wow, yeah, that post is rife with mistakes... I hate to be the guy that blames the crappy grammar and spelling he has on his phone, but my Android is weird; I can type a long sentence and it won't actuay register the typing for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

I'm usually a Nazi about grammar, but only in my own posts. I'm not too hot on criticisms, unless the post in question is as bad as my previous post.
9  Everything Nerf. / Help / Re: Seeking input on a Firefly/Nitfinder combomod. on: August 22, 2011, 02:42:56 pm
Those are all great ideas, but the point was to recycle a broken FF and use that to make a new gun.

Wow, I really have to start manually spellchecking stuff.
10  Everything Nerf. / Trading / Re: Masterkey sales thread on: August 22, 2011, 07:35:39 am
That seems like it could work with a sort of bandolier/vest type thing with six or seven, maybe more of these pre-loaded with dart for quick attach-fire-detach-repeat action.

Thanks, KiDD, I appreciate it. Now all I need is to actually buy the stuff for the mod!
12  Everything Nerf. / Modifications / Re: Hydro Cannon Titan Pump Replacement on: August 21, 2011, 04:26:19 pm
Hehe, whoops. Sorry 'bout that, I'm used to lurking in a forum with no dead topic time; it's a force of habit. I'll avoid doing it so much in the future. Thanks, man!
13  Everything Nerf. / Modifications / Re: Hydro Cannon Titan Pump Replacement on: August 21, 2011, 03:02:03 pm
Out of curiosity, how much does the Hydro Cannon retail for, and how expensive is this mod?

I'll be sure to check it out as soon as I'm at an actual computer. Thanks, Zero.

EDIT: I just registered.

Well, I was browsing NHQ (which still hasn't validated me, after a month if waiting on the edge of my seat) and I saw this forum in a sig, so I thought "Eh, why not?" and joined.

Thanks for fillimg me in.
