Nerf Grenade Launcher Attachment

 by Inverted_Spectrum

Using meanbean's Nerf Hand-blaster , and a bit of ingenuity inspired from Call of Duty, I made an attachable mount for my modified Recon. I removed the attachment bit off an old Nerf attachment and used part of an Axe Deodorant Spray Can to make the mount, which works as a simple sight also. It's possible to place a flashlight too, so this is a great multifunctional attachment.


In terms of power Tests 2 and 4 has the launcher powered with two springs to add more distance when launching.  The ammo is large foam insulator for the grenade; material that is similar to stefans.

Step-By-Step coming soon!

Also, where did u get the tube from the mount?

So, ive been playing around with this idea since about last november when i saw Meanbean's 'ible. What ive been trying to figure out though is a way to fire the thing without having to turn the bottom part by hand, with something that uses a trigger instead to turn the base. Ill upload pics in the next few days of what ive been working on so far. if you have any idea, id like to hear them. Thanks

Great job! I made somthing simalar using maxxem's grenade launcher as a basis for mine, it fires green nerf balls up to 30 feet.http://www.instructables.com/member/maxxxem/

Yeah, I saw that one too. With mine it goes to 30 feet too with my custom ammo as a grenade, and with darts it has a wide blast radius if you amp the power.

For ammo, I used foam pipe insulator (similar to the material for stefans, only bigger.)

read the comment, thanks for saying how you made that grenade of yours.

any other ways to make a mount besides using body spray can parts, i mean, i plan on making a mount for my recon, but i really don't want to get some sort of deodorant or whatever. can you help?

now that I think of it, i could use a PVC pipe and chop off some and hot-glue that to the think that attaches to the attachment rail.

works. put some duct tape in for friction.

more of a shot gun than a grenade launcher

Depends how it's used, but a shotgun seems to be a better use.

with your foam grenade (by the way, how did you make or get that) in there, it looks like the grenade launcher i'm used to.

This is so awesome! Can't wait for step by step approch!

I think I'm gonna try to make an 'ible for this. I mean, so many people are asking how.

u sould use my nerf grenades but with the pin removed.
atomiclegocreations in reply to kve23Jul 24, 2011. 10:28 AM
i can imagine that being a frag grenade for the grenade launcher. it's a great idea. I used a Lego piece to represent the keyring

u should use one of my nerf grenades but with the pin removed.

how does it shoot? is it just for looks?
Lego Nerf stuff in reply to moocowdogApr 16, 2011. 7:21 PM
it shoots
Inverted_Spectrum (author) in reply to moocowdogApr 2, 2011. 7:11 PM
Follow the link placed. By using meanbean's hand-launcher, it propels an object forward (in this case, the "grenade"). The party popper is spring loaded, so by twisting the base it launches the "grenade"

I'll try to place a video file later. Can you give me a list of available video formats?
moocowdog in reply to Inverted_SpectrumApr 2, 2011. 8:20 PM
wait, do you pull the back of the launcher and let go?
username252 in reply to moocowdogApr 5, 2011. 7:27 PM
Video added. /watch how the base is being twisted; that's how it's being launched.
