Nerf gun Nite finder Mod

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1585.JPG$

modify a nite finder nerf gun so you can hold the lite on with out accidentially firing.

Step 1: Materials

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1566.JPG$

You need a drill or remer, a momentary switch, a nite finder nerf gun, a screw driver, some wire, adn a soldering iron(i just twisted the wires cause i dont have a soldering iron)

Step 2: OPENING THE GUN

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1567.JPG$

Unscrew the case, make sure you dont lose the screws

Step 3: Removing the old switch

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1570.JPG$

Cut the wires to the old switch. solder or twist new wires long enough to reach placement of new switch.

Step 4: Drill new hole

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1572.JPG$

Drill or ream a new hole for the momentary switch. placement doesnt matter as long as it fits.

Step 5: ATTACH AND WIRE THE MOMENTARY

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1579.JPG$

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1585.JPG$

Insert the switch into the hole and put the bolt over the top to lock it in place. Then wire the light to the switch

Step 6: REATTACH THE COVER AND YOU ARE DONE

$C:\Documents and Settings\Noah.Saltzman\Desktop\random\instructable\IMG_1585.JPG$

Screw on the cover and you are done

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 ^_^

Torque66 says: Oct 17, 2009. 10:58 PM

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.

nerfkid427 says: Sep 17, 2009. 9:03 PM

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

Torque66 in reply to nerfkid427Oct 17, 2009. 10:58 PM

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.

Iridium7 says: Apr 20, 2009. 6:51 AM

I just take out the whole laser mess then I have two more areas to keep ammo. Good instructable!

Speedmite says: Apr 2, 2009. 2:40 PM

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.

Maxaxle says: Feb 8, 2009. 8:20 PM

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.

dsman195276 in reply to bob the builder #1Aug 16, 2008. 7:09 PM

They're not very powerful

not really true, modified guns can be very powerful.

bob the builder #1 in reply to dsman195276Aug 26, 2008. 3:13 PM

sorry, I was talking about non-modded guns my bad

dsman195276 in reply to bob the builder #1Aug 26, 2008. 4:53 PM

wow that sounds like something you might of been called throughout the years...

DrWeird117 says: Oct 17, 2008. 10:52 AM

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

kibbler says: Oct 4, 2008. 8:06 PM

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).

cm25ahtrack says: Aug 4, 2008. 12:21 PM

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.

toogers says: Feb 9, 2008. 11:25 AM

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

Bridel568 in reply to toogersJul 22, 2008. 8:33 AM

1800destroy says: Apr 18, 2008. 12:46 AM

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...

pinkpooj says: Mar 15, 2008. 5:49 PM

I put a new o-ring and a new spring in it and removed air restrictor so it shoots about 60 feet

thingygoboom says: Mar 15, 2008. 9:32 AM

NICE and age doesn't matter

jollex says: Feb 9, 2008. 6:29 AM

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.

Noobmoddr says: Jan 7, 2008. 7:50 PM

pretty sweet write-up, but i already modified my nitefinder and don't feel like getting a new one. thanx.

Top Dog says: Oct 18, 2007. 6:37 PM

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.

fangblade in reply to Top DogDec 27, 2007. 8:41 AM

Why buy from this guy, when you can make your own darts?

Top Dog in reply to fangbladeJan 1, 2008. 1:36 PM

Not for sale no more, and you'd buy from me cuz it's quicker! Less work....

Top Dog says: Oct 18, 2007. 6:34 PM

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.
