Airtech 2000 Nerf Gun Modification

This is an instructable about modding the Nerf Airtech 2000 pump gun. It is my first instructable, so if I mess up a lot, don't leave mean comments please. I made it up as I went, and turned out about doubling the power! I also did the same thing to another gun of the same type that was broken, fixed the problem (hole in pressure indicator- messy orange stuff all over the inside!) and it worked again as well as was more powerful than the original before it broke.

Step 1: Stuff you need

You'll need the following:
-Flathead screwdriver
-Small philips head screwdriver
-The ability to take stuff apart
-Something you can cut plastic with (I used giant scissor shear things that I'll refer to as 'big scissors')
- A vise is very helpful and if you have one you've got an advantage

A lot of online stores like Ebay and Amazon have unusual things for sale. You could probably find one on one of those sites.

After a bit of searching hopefully one of these will look good or the one in the other post. Thanks for giving me something to do while I'm sick!

Hopefully this is helpful.

Well, maybe some garage sales might have one. Other than that, I can't think of anywhere. Sorry!

Nice job, but a different barrel that had a tighter fit on the darts would work much better, stock barrels usually arn't very good at all. And duct tape is a horrible way to attach the barrel, epoxy or superglue would work better.

You're right about the duct tape. It was a pretty bad way to attach it, but I really wanted to see it in action, so I took the short and cheap route, and it has most likely made my gun not at its maximum power. Also, my barrel was a really, REALLY tight fit. Maybe my gun is a little screwed up, because all of my other guns are not nearly as tight. I'm not sure where they came from. Thanks for the recommendation. This is my first instructable, so I probably have something messed up in here technically as welPr
