gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Got one of these Nerf sidearm's and even though they are quite small I thought I would give it an upgrade, I like my blasters to have light and sound First I'll take the sound electronics from an old $5 blaster Sand off some of the raised writing I've got some nice rectangle lights to go in the side, I think it will have them but nothing is sure until the movie comes out. Fitted Now to find some room batteries, rear compartment looks nice Fitting in the rest of the electronics, jack to run to an amp and a high bright blue LED, who knows what colour it will be Everything in and time to for a test. Next some paint Edited March 15, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 4 Quote

Holnave (evan_loh)[TK] Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Glenn is indeed to the Q (Quartermaster) title as usual! I love you just convert stuffs and make them so much more cooler 1 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks guys Decided to change the flash hider as it just looks too small (thanks Zebedee). I looked at using the hider from a Rubies DL-44 but it was too big, then I found an old plastic funnel tip. Cut down to size and holes drawn Drilled and fitted Also trimmed down the trigger a little Example blaster 3 Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Nice job, especially with replacing the flash suppressor. My Nerf pistol upgrade is in work, hopefully I'll have it done within a week or two. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Freaking awesome Q! Are you interested in selling the lighting/audio kit or posting the schematic and hardware needed? 2 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Oh and is there a template yet on how to make the holster mount functional as seen in the ANOVOS pics? 1 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I'm just using the electronics from a $5 toy machine gun, any gun will do as long as the sound is ok. I just add a high bright LED to the - neg side of the battery and the other to the + pos side of the push switch, gives the LED full power and not reduced through the board. The rectangle side LED's run from the + power to a switch then to the sound board. The amp jack just runs two wires to the speaker. The other problem is the colour of the LED, not sure what it should be at this stag, I tossed a coin It's not too hard to wire up, if I could get my hands on more guns I would put kits together but they are scarce here. I've seen a few different combo's of how the blasters should attach to the leg mount but I think they are just fitted with two screws on the side, can just make them out in this photo. They just slide down and grab on the holster mount. Edited March 15, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks for the electronics info Q and good eye regarding the holster mount, there may be some hope for the Anovos stock mount yet 1 Quote

tkrestonva[TK] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 I just finished with my mod. Furthermore, I modded my thigh holster to be functional by using a 3/8" high speed cutter bit for my Dremel to cut out a narrow lip inside of both slots on the thigh holster. I then installed a couple of 3/16" x 1/2" flathead screws in my modified Hasbro TFA pistol. Worked like a charm. The pistol goes on easy and is held securely in place - it won't be bumped off and no one is going to be able to yank it off my thigh without me knowing about it. 3 Quote
zebedee[TK] Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Great work on the holster I think you have the sights on the wrong way round though? Quote
