NERF N-Strike Maverick Mods

Disassembly

Laser Sight

• zip tie (recycled from the Maverick box)
• laser pointer

Procedure:

Mount the laser pointer along either side of the yellow sight and secure as tightly as possible witht the zip tie.
Make sure that the zip tie does not impede the rotation of the barrel. Rotate the laser pointer to turn on and off.

Results

• Looks kinda ghetto and needs to be undone in order to open the Maverick. Aside from that, works great.

Rotating Barrel Extension

• Dremel
• philips screwdriver

Procedure:

Dremel the tab on the business-end hindge

Tab removed

Dremel the middle notch on trigger-side hindge

Easy access to three chambers at once

• Successful, easy mod, little chance for error

Air Restrictor Removal

• Dremel
• philips screwdriver
• hot glue gun

• plastic drinking straw (generic Safeway brand fit perfectly)

Procedure:

Find a straw that fits securely inside the air intake holes of the barrel

Cut six pieces so that they are flush with the barrel (yellow) and the unrestricted air restrictors (orange)

Apply layer of hot glue to seal the gap between straws and restrictors

Results

• Some of the chambers deliver a noticeable increase in power. Others, however, are worse than the stock configuration. One chamber refuses to fire altogether. I will try again soon.
