Yeah, followed this tutorial ended with the same result as it was starting out, except broken. Reassembled gun, still squat. Tried with newer gun, wrecked. Really glad these guns are only 10 bucks. Gun sounded kinda cool but loud afterwards darts dont budge, didnt move any parts cept the black and springs. So from my experience this tut is poop

Wat went wrong when you were doing the mod?

Mar 1, 2011. 2:34 PMniuthon says:

i did everything as in instructions, and it simply stopped shooting - darts dont even move in the chambers while supposed to shoot out - strange. So i put everything back together and it works as usual

to tell you the truth, I've done this without the instructable I'm only on this one because they say it breaks. It doesn't if you cut the pegs off in step 3.

Umm... I'm not exactly sure, but i recommend that you try the 'silencing' part of this instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-silence-AND-power-up-a-Nerf-Maverick/ otherwise, i'm not quite sure... (sorry for the late reply)
