I just did this! thanks for the great idea, I put my switch on the flat grey part right in front of the trigger so you can reach it with your trigger finger : D

 What this mod is trying to accomplish is, that you dont use the trigger to activate the lazer you use a switch!

Translation:
I'm kind of young, as a result, I don't really get it.  I'm new to this site, can you make a video of a mod for faster firing, and perhaps make it easier to understand?  Please understand that this is not an order, I'm trying to be polite.  This is just a question, and I would appreciate a response.  Thanks!

really nice, i might do this mode with the barrel mod for this gun.

But i might switch the light out for a laser like torque66 said.  also i'd want the momentary switch on the handle so i can press it with my thumb, making the gun one handed (maybe have two guns :3)

 thank you for this ^_^

I saw that you are 12, I'm 14 so I know how it is with that age thing that people always say. were in the same boat bro.

I dont get it. is it supposed o make the laser on the gun better than before so that it is like a real laser pointer
Oct 17, 2009. 10:58 PMTorque66 says:
I did this mod (Great mod by the way) but, during the process i switched the stock piece of crap light with an actual laser pointer. so i can switch the laser on and i don't have to hold it down. It's like a real tactical gun now.
Apr 20, 2009. 6:51 AMIridium7 says:
I just take out the whole laser mess then I have two more areas to keep ammo. Good instructable!
Apr 2, 2009. 2:40 PMSpeedmite says:
Why not just be careful? Or strap a lazer pointer to it? I have one and Thought it wasnt good after I compared it to a pump- marshmallow gun that I made modified ammo for.
Feb 8, 2009. 8:20 PMMaxaxle says:
Honestly, the idea of the mod is really good, but why not just be careful? Still, can't argue with the results (unless you have to fire one with one hand).

your a real jerk to say that. They're not very powerful but still it's mean to say that.

not really true, modified guns can be very powerful.

I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron!

Great Instructable! However, if you are a lazy person (like me) then Congratulations! You don't have to do this! Just hold the trigger down so the light goes on, then, while keeping the trigger down, pull back the plunger all the way and let go. Hope it helps! Also, if you want some great darts for your gun, click my name, then click my only Instructable (so far).
Aug 4, 2008. 12:21 PMcm25ahtrack says:
I did kinda did this, but instead of making a new switch, make a small hole to the right of the two dart holder things and push the switch through. Then just use your middle finger to push it on or just off.

I am going to do a simple mod to my nitefinder.
im hacking it so the holder holds 8 darts.

As a suggestion, you could replace the cheap red bulb that NERF put in with an LED or something. Maybe a MiniMag krypton bulb too... lol i feel like going out and buying a gun right now...haven't played with these in AGES...
Mar 15, 2008. 5:49 PMpinkpooj says:
I put a new o-ring and a new spring in it and removed air restrictor so it shoots about 60 feet

NICE and age doesn't matter
Feb 9, 2008. 6:29 AMjollex says:
I modded my nitefinder, I added a crayola barrel and took out the light, I also took out the air restrictor and added rubber bands, it goes so far now.
Jan 7, 2008. 7:50 PMNoobmoddr says:
pretty sweet write-up, but i already modified my nitefinder and don't feel like getting a new one. thanx.
Oct 18, 2007. 6:37 PMTop Dog says:
Also, I've got over 50 brand new homemade darts. All of them are tipped and weighted. They are all a great buy and for sale for VERY CHEAP.
Dec 27, 2007. 8:41 AMfangblade says:
Why buy from this guy, when you can make your own darts?
Jan 1, 2008. 1:36 PMTop Dog says:
Not for sale no more, and you'd buy from me cuz it's quicker! Less work....
Oct 18, 2007. 6:34 PMTop Dog says:
Hey, nice instruct. Sounds like to much work to me though. I've got a nite finder gun and it's good enough with the basic mods. Post more instructables!!!

When I was twelve I did a good instructable and people said good things about it, Also sometimes people who are older than me make the age excuse that pisses me off. Also when you sign up you are supposed to be like 13.... and please don't call someone a Jerk or say there screwed up for saying age doesn't matter. And finally its just our opinions, but I think most people would say they don't like the age excuse.
