Nerf Recon with intergrated tactical light
I set out on this project a while back. I was aiming to intergrate the tactical light that comes with the Recon CS-6, into the actual gun. I used the fake covered up hole below the barrel on the front of the gun, and holed it out. The small space between the clip and front end of the gun was the perfect housing for the light.
The light tube fitted perfectly. Almost like it was supposed to.... |
You can see here that none of the wires were disturbed by the clip or any part of the gun. |
The wires were set into the side of the gun and ran through gaps i made with a dremel. This is how i achieved a working gun with no moving parts disturbing or being disturbed by the wires from the battery to the light.
The above picture shows how the wires sit behind absolutely everything, including the bolt sled and trigger(not shown). You can see to the left of the picture where gaps have been made to accomodate the wires. There are also two 'locks' there which had already been removed before i started this project.
Bit blurry, but this one you can see pretty clearly the switch/battery combination(self explanatory). But now the battery pack/holder. The grey box that the batteries sit in wad taken directly from the tactical light. With a bit of dremel work it fitted perfectly in the grip space. The 'secret dart holder had to be removed, once again with a dremel. Finally the switch seat. I made a cut into each side of the gun, equal on both. And glued the switch into place. The two lugs with screw holes on each end of the switch held it in place.
The whole side of the gun. |
Whole side with clip inserted. |
The finished product!! |
Website for upcoming forum up!
Hey, I have now secured the domain at which the forum will live. Now its just gotta be built. As it will be free i'm not gonna invest in a purchased forum rather a good quality free, open source one. The plans for the forum sections are open to change and any input from people as to what they would like to see would be great, just comment. :)
My crazy Maverick
Hey Guys. Just thought i'd start off with a post about my maverick, which is one of my most recent mods. So here it is....
As you can see, two barrels that rotate in and out of the gun. |
The bits on the far side of the gun were removed to allow 2nd barrel to move through freely. |
Side-on |
Yes, I did use two barrels from different "era" Mavericks |
Where the barrels are held in place a second gap on the right was made to accomodate a second barrel |
'Barrel-locks' removed from both ends |

Welcome to The Nerf Hub
Hi all, So, here it is. The Nerf Hub. I created this blog as a place where i could post my ventures with Nerf guns and mods that i have done. I have plans for a forum site that will allow anyone to post their mods, reviews and start discussions about Nerf in general. That, however is still under construction and planning and any ideas on methods for this other than what I have planned are welcome, just follow and comment. :)
P.S: As this blog and the now "under construction" forum are and will be free, you can, if you want donate towards this to help me fund this.
