In this Instructable, I will be documenting the modifications I make to my new NERF Vulcan EBF - 25 fully automatic Nerf gun.
Many of these modifications are NOT REVERSIBLE , and, if done wrong, will result in irreparable damage to the gun.
Also, i know it's kind of obvious, but performing ANY of these modifications will immediately void the warranty, so don't complain that the store refused to take beck your broken gun! - Note, Some people have commented that Wallmart took back their broken guns after failed mods. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! Toy companies do not follow the maker's creed of "If you can't open it, you don't own it!"
I will also point out key parts that I think should be made of metal, along with CAD drawings of said parts.
All the images in this instructable are available in high quality (so you can actually see what I'm talking about). Just click the boxed "i" in the top left of the image, and click "Original File"!
And, as always, wear safety glasses when playing with modified NERF guns, the darts won't have much of a problem giving you a black eye!
DO NOT MOD A NERF GUN WITH BATTERIES IN IT! 9 volts isn't a lot, until you add current!
The steps are numbered in the following manner:
M # P #, Name
meaning: Mod # Part #, Name (if first part)

Distance won't change, since regardless of speed it's still pulling the bolt back the same ammount, but at some point the motor won't be able to get the bolt all the way back. Try putting in new batteries and it should work better!
9.6 Volt RC Battery And it worked really well! So I got a new Vulcan and I thinl i am going to Take out all the AR's then mod it to run on a RC Battery? Sounds Legit right?
I attached a picture below, if you haven't got it yet (I know its been a week since you posted).
I used a Phillips screw driver and just lifted it upwards.

Maybe you wired it wrong so that the wire is stopping the wheel from moving?
motor
The stock motor is 32mm long, 27.6mm in diameter, and has a shaft diameter of 2.4mm.
To replace the motor with a better one u need the size of it.
380 size is generally 28mm dia. 35-40mm length.
while 370 is 24mm dia. 35-40mm length.
gears
to strengthen the gearing and things use delrin. delrin is a composite plastic that is stronger than average placic without being to heavy.
batteries
ni-mh are probably the best choice of battery for this you can get them for rc cars. Li-po is the other option it is lighter and more powerful, but it is much more expensive and can explode if u dont use it right.
All the things listed are designed for application with rc vehicles.
do not have access to any delrin, but i do have a good amount of steel, and am quire proficient on a mill i have made at least a dozen gears for various projects without using a tooth-cutter... its tricky, but possible.
i also have some old laptop batteries... (lipo) that should work quite nicely.
