Muzzles and Release levers

A fellow Nerf player contacted me and asked if I could help him do a custom print.

He asked for a muzzle (which I didn't draw previously) for his brother's birthday present and requested that I help him print one.

another request was also for a magazine release lever for the retaliator.
now, this was something I wanted to design for awhile and wanted to take up the challenge of doing something different, a drop-in enhancement for the retaliator.

after some brain cracking on how I could do it, I went on to draw it (both the muzzle and release lever)

 Drew two muzzle instead of one so that he could choose which he preferred.

The birdcage muzzle, with an extended barrel, python barrel shroud, and Picatinny rails adaptors.

The muzzle is meant to fit in without any glue

I designed the muzzle pieces so that would both fit a Nerf barrel and a Nerf barrel attachment point without the need for glue or any further modifications to the blaster.


The Release lever for the Retaliator

simple design, simple mechanism.

some shell cutting is required for it to sit nicely inside.
basically just cutting a small square on the outer shell.


The lever was designed in a way that would not hinder the original magazine lock release, and still maintained functionality of both the original release and the add-on release.
