recon cs-6 jamming mod and a few other mods too by Amigobot

Step 1: Fixing the jamming

P1040674.JPG
ok this is actually hard to describe, but...
the reason the gun jams is because the barrel spike squshes your dart against the slot the spike would normally slide into. to fix this problem, we're going to add an additional cover so the dart cant be pushed out of the cradle to were it can get jammed.

cut a piece of your ice cream lid to the length of the cradle which the barrel spike slides between. cut the width of the plastic long enough so that the ridge of the barrel spike can still slide between, try not to make it too tight though.
You'll need to bend the plastic so it fits nicely, i heated the plastic with a lighter to make it easier to bend.

Round the top corner edge on each piece of plastic closest to the spike.

hot glue in place.
jamming fixed.

could i possibly use plumbers epoxy or normal super glue instead of hot glue?

yea superglue would probably be better, as my hot glue ended up coming unstuck... tho be careful as there are some gules that will eat plastic.

yeah i need help.
i put the bullets in the wrong side and the my little brother just sticks it in there by force and closes the top part completely, now i can't shoot because the top wont slide back.

i had the same problem with the slide not sliding i just took the gun apart, took everything out, put everything back together and it worked fine

 can you be more descriptive when you say 'wrong side'? do you mean you put the bullet in backwards? you inserted the whole clip backwards? or something else?

in any case id say your best option would be to dismantle the whole gun and re-assemble it

You need a before and after picture for step 1, I haven't figured out how to the anti-jamming mod and I really want to do that, so I can have a 35 shot pistol( when I put in the raider's mag.
Amigobot (author) says: Oct 5, 2009. 9:46 PM
yea i can see how that would be helpful, unfortunatly i havn't touched my guns in about 6 months an am currently unwilling to take apart the gun again an shoot the photo. do you think i should remove this instructable, or do you think it's still a little useful?
yeah i know says: Dec 11, 2009. 3:31 PM
Come on, you never grow too old for nerf... Anyway i presume you've moved from liking nerf to surfing the internet in every waking hour? JK
Amigobot (author) says: Dec 11, 2009. 4:55 PM
pretty much, just brought a rapid fire cs-35 last week
Nerfgenius says: Oct 6, 2009. 7:12 PM
I think it is still useful. Oh, is the blue piece the plastic? if it is then I know exactly what to do for that step
Amigobot (author) says: Oct 7, 2009. 7:14 PM
yep thats it. on a side note id use something stronger than hot glue, my blue plastic bits came off a few times

instead of cutting the whole entire back cover off you can cut two strips where the rubberband needs to go.
Amigobot (author) says: Aug 14, 2009. 8:42 PM
yea, i did that with another one i got, much better idea, i jus couldnt be bothered updating on here.

If you cut the spike short and file down the barrel you can shoot all darts that fit in the clip except the darts from the vulcan!!
Amigobot (author) says: Apr 12, 2009. 9:27 PM
sweet mod, when i get back into nerf i'll be sure to do that.
NXPenguinFlutist says: Apr 9, 2009. 7:01 PM
You should also file down part of the inside of the clip so the dart tips don't get stuck in the clip.
eknafrk says: Apr 10, 2009. 8:08 PM
yes that is true but i never got time to do that. :)
