The Ultimate Nerf Vulcan Mod

Step 3Wiring the Beast

Hook the battery packs together like in the photo. *WARNING: If you hook this up wrong, you could dead short the battery packs together which could make them explode or do other scary/injurious things.* Hook the negative power terminal from the gun to the black lead on pack A, hook the red lead from pack A to the black lead on pack B, and then hook the red lead from pack B to the positive power terminal on the Nerf gun. Voila. It's done. Now separate the alligator clips with a piece of cardboard to keep them from shorting. Stuff everything back into the gun and close the door. Now you have a 500 round per minute cube warfare weapon of mass destruction.

hey does it matter the polarity or if the red is on what side or if the black on the other

Dec 7, 2009. 10:03 AMManaEnergyPotion (author) says:

Polarity definitely matters. If you hook it up backwards with one battery pack, the motor will spin the wrong direction. I've talked to people who have done that, and their guns were fine, but I'd avoid it if at all possible. With two battery packs hooking it up wrong can either mean the motor spins backwards or maybe not at all.
