Done probably around 2009 or something.
The Nerf Longshot
This blaster holds probably the most modding capabilities in terms of internals.
sadly, back in the days, 3d printing didn't really exist and is not very accessible to everyone.
We had to be creative in modding and had to come up with funny ways to get the mod done.
This is such an example.
built using its own parts, namely the front blaster and other salvaged parts and springs from other blasters, some Pvc and 2 random metal bars I found lying around my place.
I went on to try to make a shotgun grip that was easy to use and looked good at the same time.
This is the blaster currently.
The internals is all old school mods, unlike what we have nowadays.
had to cut part of the front out to fit the PVC pipe as a grip.
Glued the PVC piped into the front blaster grip,
then I cut out the shaped of the grip into the PVC pipe.
Had to make sure that it sits nicely when primed.
the 2 metal bars I found lying at home.
had to bend it so it fits nicely.
All held in place with its original charging bolt
Had to improvise on the other side as the bolt is now too short to lock itself in place.
that's a spectacle hook and a copper wire bent into a hook.
There you have it. my very first serious nerf mod, probably back in 2010 or something.
a seriously old modded blaster, very good back in the old days. now completely obsolete as there are now drop in mods available by aftermarket part makers like Artifact.
Perhaps I should revive this blaster. make it great again... (jokes intended)
