Modification of the Jolt EX-1 Nerf Blaster

The purpose of this modification is to add approximately 10ft shot range to the Jolt EX-1 blaster.

For this modification you will need the following:
Jolt EX-1 Nerf Blaster
Needle nose pliers
Flat head screw driver
Phillips screw driver
small container to keep screws in
Spring - ours was obtained from a LongShot front gun
this spring needs to be approximately 2.5 - 3 inches long and a diameter of about a nickle. The gauge of the spring wire is approximately 14 gauge or .0747 inches.

The cost of this modification is very low. All tools should be readily available, and no specialized tools are needed. The costs are shown below;
Jolt EX-1 Blaster - $6.50
Spring - $1.00
Total - $7.50

The blaster we obtained from ToysRS and the price listed includes tax. The spring that we used was just laying around and thereby free. However a similar spring could easily be obtained from ACE hardware or any other hardware store.

Step 1 Removal of the bottom piece of the blaster

The first step is to remove the four screws from the bottom of the blaster, as pictured above. Place these screws in a small container as they will be used to reassemble the blaster.

Skip this step. Many modders who mod the jolt claim that drilling/ removing this part of the air restrictor (removing the post is fine however) actually decreases range. KEEP IT IN.

how strong is that plungerrod? i mean, if i slab on two big sprigs, wont the tension break it in half? if you'd epoxy the thing on all the sides it would be much stronger
