    Take out the spring and put in a weak one, or you could take the current spring and wear it out by repeatedly stretching and squishing it.

    Try any other modification. The spring isn't everything, you can use other mods to give yourself a tactical advantage.

    Put a few layers of Teflon/electrical tape under the o-ring (in the plunger).
  • Question
    Can I use a pen spring to upgrade my Nerf gun?
    Community Answer
    This would depend on whether you have a very strong pen spring, as most are weaker than Nerf springs. I recommend getting a spring from a modding brand such as Worker.
  • Question
    How do I take out the spring?
    Community Answer
    Unscrew the blaster. The spring should be in easy view. You should be able to just pull it out.

  • Question
    What is the best gun for a beginner to modify?

    Probably a hammer shot or any other hammer action blaster. All you need to do is replace the spring in the grip.
  • Question
    What is the best mod upgrade for a Nerf N-Strike Elite Rampage Blaster?
    Community Answer
    You could add a scope, a Nerf knife that can slide onto the gun, PVC to help with sniping, because they cut down on wind blowing on the dart, and also an extra strong spring.
  • Question
    Is it possible to do any kind of modification to a Jolt?
    Community Answer
    You can replace the spring and remove the air restriction. Put some Teflon tape under the seal on the plunger. I personally have not modded a Jolt, but those simple mods are pretty much the same for all foam-flinging blasters.
  • Question
    What can I do to customize my Nerf Elite Firestrike?
    Community Answer
    It's not very customizable, but I'd recommend trying a paint job, iron sight for the tactical rail, or light spring. Get creative!
  • Question
    How do I silence a Nerf flywheel?
    Community Answer
    Some Nerf guns with flywheels come with apps to silence them, for others you can put tape around them to reduce friction and noise, but that could mess up the speed of the dart.
  • Question
    How do I add a Nerf Modulus scope on a tactical railing?
    Community Answer
    You just slide it onto the rail. If it is not a stock Nerf rail, drill through the bottom of it and screw it on.
  • Question
    How do I modify a Retaliator to shoot further and faster using spring replacements and removing air restrictors?
    Community Answer
    You have to disassemble the Retaliator and take out the plunger tube. From there you just slide the spring off and pry the AR out. Then you put the new spring on.
  • Question
    I am really good at modding, but I want to try something new, what should I do?
    Community Answer
    You could try integrating two guns into one. I am currently using a 3d printed rail accessory that allows the connection of two tactical rails.
  • Question
    How can I upgrade my Cliburn or Stryker?
    Azura Bennett
    Community Answer
    Upgrading your Caliburn with VersaTactical and Stryker blasters can be a blast! You can start by looking for compatible modification kits or parts online. There are various kits available that can enhance performance, such as better springs, barrels, or even custom grips.
  • Question
    How about electric powered guns?
    ParkerTheCuber
    Community Answer
    Flywheel blasters are a bit harder to mod, since you'll need to solder parts in. You could add more powerful motors (130 size, 180 will need shell cutting), a LiPo battery (2S or 3S), better flywheels, a new flywheel cage, a new full-auto system, a half-dart pusher, and beefier switches.
  • Question
    I have a Nerf N-Strike Elite Firestrike with a laser, what add-ons should I have?
    ParkerTheCuber
    Community Answer
    Maybe try adding a new spring in it. Also, that laser doesn't work for anything over 3 feet away, so maybe just take out the AAAs.
  • Question
    How do I modify a dart range with an E-3x?
    Community Answer
    You don't need to modify the range. Buying stronger and faster Nerf darts is an ideal approach.
  • Question
    What about stretching the spring a little, instead of replacing it with a better one? Or what about adding in a second spring?
    Nerf Tactics058
    Community Answer
    Stretching the spring will give you a slight boost for a short period of time, and doubling the spring will work great.
  • Question
    What do I do if I forget how the Nerf gun is put back together when upgrading?
    Nerf Tactics058
    Community Answer
    Look up pictures of the inside of the gun to see where it all goes. Maybe look up a modding video so you can see in which order they go on the blaster.

    Do I have to make a duel mag when upgrading my Nerf guns?

    Yes. When your Nerf gun uses a clip-style magazine, you can tape two of them together, with one upside down.
