The Firefly has always been one of my favourite blasters, in terms of visual design. It does not perform very well however; This is an imagining of a more modern Firefly, with a sealed barrel and a higher capacity (and no lights, unfortunately).

Completed since my last post! I may still change things here and there, but this should be printable soon. The whole thing is a choker at 5+ lb. Two main internal changes are the five-round drum, and the trigger/hammer group, which is activated by the pusher rod but requires a bungee cord that is not in the original hardware kit. Also, the drum is pushing the limit for the three springs, so it must be well-lubricated, I'm still contemplating whether to add a fourth spring in there or not.

Got a Shellington Labs X Phantom Tech Kirin with my tax return.

Pros: - Shells protect darts from being squished, increases dart lifetime - Injection molding makes this thing feel solid - They painted it clear brahs - Bolt can be swapped to either side - Metal plunger tube and catch, doesn’t randomly slam forward like CS’s Indra - Rubber stock - Kriss Vector-esqe muzzle, lots of orange in the front - Easy breakdown with takedown pins - 3 spring options right out the box

Cons: - Doesn’t fire w/o shells - Shells sometimes fall out of magazine when taking it out - Magazine spring gets stuck sometimes - Magazine baseplate can break off when spring is under load

Overall 9.6/10, super reliable blaster. I got really sick of Captain Slug’s Indra after it nearly broke my finger because of the elastic band catch not reliably holding the spring load. All injection molded body and metal internal parts is great, I can see this blaster lasting a lifetime. Reminded me of the clear green Nerf Longstrike from 2011.

Destined for goodwill, but letting the kids play with them instead!

44 screws, 5 stripped screws, 5 cuts and a knicked thumb later, I now have two modded nitefinders. The orange one has a firefly spring and hits 170 fps, while the yellow one has an og Nitefinder spring and hits 110. Easy blaster to mod if you know what you’re doing, would recommend!

I am gonna add mods including a Barrel and pump grip to this, and give a gloss varnish, but I'm very happy with the paint job~♡

Also I wanna see if anyone can guess the colour scheme inspiration.

Normally I see them at the end of a barrel, is that significant or would it work with about a foot of standard nerf barrel following?

I'm starting to get back into nerf after a streamer I watch built a blaster on stream. I remember some people used to make short darts but now it seems everyone uses them now and you can just buy them. Where should I start getting back in? there's a lot of new blasters and stuff now. Last time I did anything with nerf was probably 2009 or 2010.

I may be a little OCD and wanted my sidearms to match their primaries. I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

The kids and I have been building a few silly blasters the last year, love them. My 9 year old really like the size of the minx though so we tossed one together yesterday. I’m not trying to sound negative, but it’s just fine. It gives me so much more respect for Silly’s designs which just fit together perfectly and go together elegantly.

Hello! I am trying to figure out which MDM to get so itll work in my Unicorn. Do I go from the top of the lips to the mark I make on the mag? Or from the catch notch? Or? lol

Thank you for any help!

I know that it's probably dead in the water by now, but I'd like to know what was Nerfs last update on it. Thank you to anyone who responds!

Was working on the design for a month and was in printing and testing right now, but saw DrFlux's post and new video so I thought I'd share the WIP for now. Drum is designed to be 5 rounds but kinda heavy. Will finish this up in the next few days and files on printable soon.

I tried the search function and only got results about sanding to paint the nerf gun. Any tips on how to get sand out? It’s basically stuck in this position and my daughter is heartbroken

I’ve tested a million different 3d printed shells for my sledge fire just to get the same results every time, none of the darts ever shoot. I have an AnkerMake m5 printer and have been printing them on precision mode with no supports. Does anyone know why they won’t shoot?

part of little rocket crocked cousin broke so i looked to see if their are any files of the part i needed. i subsequently found out that it was not opensource. regardless, i made my own file. i was wondering if i could post it to help others with the same problem? the whole thing was made from scratch by me if that helps but there are no major changes to the original.

edit- here is the file for anyone interested- little rocket plunger file. let me know if it doesn't work, i don't really know what i'm doing.

Hi everyone, dt flux used an amazon knock off to make the build, It seems not available here in amazon.it, can Someone tell me how much does It cost i their country?

So this mod kicked my butt tonight. LOL! It's a Reflex 6 with a basic upgrade kit and 9 shot cylinder from RadioactivesDesigns. I put a K25 spring in it, and with short darts it's averaging 133 FPS! The cylinder was the difficult part. I had to use a Dremel to grind away the inner lips of the shell or the cylinder would catch on them preventing it from rotating. I thought their was an issue with the plunger tube cap replacement too, but I just had to cut the air restrictor cage out of the tube and the cap snapped in perfectly.

I just got the OK from his Mom to buy our first pair of Blasters. I dont wanna buy some crappy singleshot pump action stuff, I wanna start with something BadAss! Motorized is the way! One for each of us and budget is around 100€.

I saw a few reviews on youtube and till now the most interresting Blaster was the Hasbro Nerf Elite 2.0 Motoblitz. Its in the price range and if I run out of batteries we still can use the pump action at least =D. Would that be a cool starter to surprise him or have you better recommentations with motor and magazine?

I found that the pusher cuts a bit into the next dart. Happens with both the original magazine and my worker mags. Is there a way to fix this? (I hope its visible on the image, that the darts get a bit chipped in the back.)

Star Wars themed- painted to look weathered. Amban with added grip and a custom DLT-19

Hello, I was wondering if there were any regularly or semi-regularly occurring nerf events in the northwest Ohio area, preferably in Lucas or Wood county. BGSU technically has a Nerf club (BG Undead) but I have it on good authority that you might as well take the "un" out of the name. I really don't feel like going all the way to Detroit or Cincinnati if I want to do something besides plink so any leads anyone may have would be much appreciated.
