Nerf Gun Modifications.

Step 3Converting Water Guns to Nerf.

Converting Water Guns to Nerf.
This is SIMPLE. Just strap on a barrel to where the water flows from. This is probably the easiest thing to do, and the most effective.

My water guns shoots a good 150' feet. Its absoultly scary to be honest. These aren't your old nerf gun, this thing will hurt. Alot.

are you sure about the 22 inch barrel? i just modded my supersoaker just by hotglueing on a nitefinder barrel, but the darts spin out of control, and the darts go anywhere except for the point i'm aiming at. i know thats because the barrel is too short, but isnt 10 inches long enough? thnx

does it matter how long the barrel is?

Yes. Extremely strong air-powered guns such as this will benefit most from barrels about 2 feet long. The barrel should also be a loose fit on your darts, but not loose enough that they can fall out on their own. Also, you may want to open the gun up and see if there is an "Over-Pressure Release Valve," what we in the Nerf Internet Community (NIC) abbreviate as "OPRV." An easy way to tell if a gun has one is to pump air and listen for a difference in tones in the later pumps. If there is a drastic difference, then there is an OPRV, which you can plug with hot glue or epoxy once you find it. They are usually located on the pump itself, and if not then somewhere nearby.

Awesome! Un-weighted stefans? WTF? They have to be waited if you want them to be of any use.
Aug 5, 2008. 6:32 PMnerfer192 says:

Aug 7, 2008. 8:17 AMCapnTac says:
Oh. You can use metal washers, too. They work pretty good.

Jun 8, 2010. 9:04 PMVersatileHobbies says:
go on youttube and type SS Flash Flood Nerf gun and theres a vid of a guy shooting it it is'nt this guy but the gun was modded similarly
Nov 8, 2008. 11:18 AMdeadpyro says:
Would the kind of water gun that shoots water every pump work?Appreciated if you have an answer because i want to get into Nerf.
Jun 8, 2010. 9:02 PMVersatileHobbies says:
any water gun that is a supersoaker product dat requires pumping and then puling the trigger will work cut of the nozzle and glue on a barrel or coupler =)
Jun 22, 2009. 9:04 AMgeodez says:
super soakers?
Nov 14, 2008. 12:21 PMnerfman44 says:
Uh ya i guesse it could my friend has the one you are talking about and it is a little bit worse then the other ones that you pump and then shoot. but it will work over all i helped my friend with that and he loves it. oh and the dude below my comment it will shoot water.
Jun 14, 2009. 9:46 AMAJBrawlLvr says:
Does it work w/ a SS max-d 5000? thats the type I have. also-what diameter should the barrel be?
Jun 8, 2010. 9:00 PMVersatileHobbies says:
any gun from the supersoaker that requires u to pump it then pull the trigger will work cut of the nozzle that restricts air flow and glue a 1/2 inch diameter barrel or coupler for interchangeble barrels and longer barrels for water guns work the best i would recommend a 22inch long barrel =)

7/16th inch brass tubing works great for stefans
Apr 16, 2010. 6:35 PMtravis_bickle says:
 7/16 is not  an available size of brass tubing. what you must have meant is 17/32 (works for stock darts, and very narrow fbr) or 9/16. ready to help as always :)
Nov 12, 2009. 5:20 PMzack attack says:
how far does it shoot flat.
Sep 8, 2009. 5:26 PMrjrollins says:
can you do that with any water gun even those little water guns you get from dollar general
Sep 9, 2009. 4:56 PMItsTheHobbs says:
No. It needs to be a higher powered, pump one.
Apr 30, 2008. 4:45 PMTex3778 says:
is there anyway you can post a tutorial on how to do this in a little more detail cause i wish to do this with my flash flood
Jun 27, 2008. 2:42 PMcodongolev says:
really, I think you just take a pipe the size of a dart and hot glue/glue the pipe in place.
Mar 11, 2008. 4:27 PMJoemama says:
I'll try this modification on my XP70
Mar 24, 2007. 9:17 PMNerf-a-Rama says:
How do you KEEP the barrel on?
Dec 20, 2007. 7:23 PMFenderpony says:
You can use lots of hot glue or epoxy, I guess. I still don't have my 1/2", so I don't really know for sure. Maybe you should shorten it or get a shorter barrel. Or maybe just use a more hollow or new barrel. Good luck, and sorry about your wait.
Sep 23, 2007. 4:49 PMOdland says:
Dose it matter what water gun you use or could it be just any gun that has a pump?

What are you poor Crazed =P

hey guys,ima in alaska and am just getting in to the modding. I need some help on the modding a water gun because i want to own my uncle, who just got a modded gun. If anyone could give me a TUT or send it to me my email is jakeypoo111@hotmail.com I just want the gun to shoot frickin hard
Nov 23, 2006. 6:31 PMrisk293 says:
Well usually people will take apart the nozzle and put brass or PVC pipe on as the barrel. You usually can find more of these on the internet with older guns.
Nov 22, 2006. 6:54 PMrisk293 says:
Doesnt it work better to take appart the nozzle and make a sniper out of it? Or is the whole so big u dont need to take apart the nozzle? Point is... Can u make a rifle or sniper out of the flash flood?
Nov 12, 2006. 6:05 PMNeRf_cRaZeD says:
Great idea i like it alot but i tryed it with a papertowel roll lolz and it worked pretty good or a crappy piece of cardbord.
