Hi all im new here but have a decent know how of nerf guns...
I'm going to buy a nerf Longshot and the front gun was bugging me with its uselessness. I have an idea for a few front gun mods, mainly to the ammunition it shoots rather than the gun itself. My idea is turning the front gun into a sort of grenade launcher with various attachments.
The first idea I came up with for these attachments came from the game (yes I know comparing real life to video games bugs me to) BBC2. An attachment for the grenade launcher was a shotgun attachment. Basically turning the grenade launcher into something that shoots shotgun shells. Im thinking of doing this by getting some sort of casing that will fit in the front gun's barrel (pvc for example) and have that seal to the end of the front gun barrel via o-ring. This pipe would be wide enough for streamlines to fit in, and so I would get a streamline dart, fill the hole in it with hot glue, and then cut the streamline up into small pieces, (5 or 6). Then when you shoot the front gun the pieces of streamlines would go out in a spread, acting as a shotgun (hopefully). The tube in the barrel will be able to be removed and replace, thereby giving multiple shots before running out of shotgun shells, instead of having it as a last stand type thing then, the shotgun attachment could be used to clear rooms and such. As I do not own a longshot front gun though, I'm unsure about if this would work, so any feedback would be appreciated.
The second attachment for the front gun will essentially be a smoke grenade launcher, ether being able to shoot smoke grenades or stink bombs. It will do this basically the same as the shotgun attachment, but instead it will involve some sort of tube with ether a the smoke grenade mixture ready to be activated or a stinkbonb inside. This tube will be stuck in the front gun barrel and simply launched the same as a dart would be. Again any feedback on this idea is welcome.
Then the scope on the longshot annoyed me, so I will fix this by basically making the scope pivotable to compensate for the elevation it has over the barrel, and the scope will have something showing the range markers for the angle the scope is positioned, this will allow the scope to successfully be able to be used at any range with accuracy.
Finally the longshot itself will have better springs, better stock so it can be collapsed manually but does not collapse when not wanted, without the hassle of collapsing mid war, brass breach, brass barrel, REMOVABLE shotgun fore-grip, so I can use the longshot as a sniper with bi-pod, or as assault rifle without the bi-pod and the pin. And the front gun will be able to be used as a barrel extension (with brass inside) or the inner brass can be removed or I can just use the grenade launcher attachment.
Hopefully I'll post pictures when its finished (if I ever get a longshot 'sigh', and if anyones interested)
