Nerf Hornet AS-6 Review (5/10)

Nerf revisited the Semi Auto system of the Blastfire for use on today's battlefield. The end result was a success  that after weeks became a nightmare. Say hello to the Hornet AS-6, Nerf's first failure of the N-Strike lineup.

Modded Nerf Mono Blast

Basically a rare trash find I got on eBay. This thing had the top of its plunger tube broken clean off, I managed to repair to normal working condition but it broke again, this time beyond repair. I decided to kick its overall lousy stock performance up a notch and the end result is a solid little sidearm. I used the hole in the plunger tube to my advantage and glued a coupler in there, perfect fit. I kept its stock spring because its a complete pain in the ass to replace anyways. I ran a pencil trough the hollow, brittle plunger rod to strengthen it. The old gasket was dried up so I hotglued it to expand it out a bit more and then greased it up and I kept the old barrel because it made a nice 3 dart holder. I had this old mock silencer I built, and I slapped it on, and needless to say, it looks like a combo of Han Solo's pistol and one of those Olympic target pistols, and I really like how it turned out. I'm not sure on exact ranges yet but it is so much better than it used to be.

Nerf Electric Eel Review (4/10)

It won't bite.
I remember jerm781 mentioning this blaster on his blog a while back noting how it shattered like glass when he dropped it. Either way I picked an Electric Eel up off eBay and despite it's age and somewhat sub par performance, it's one of most innovative blasters I've used,

Raider CS-35P

An very nice idea I got from DarthRambo. Considering the Raider is now phased out by the Rampage, I decided to go cut my Raider up a bit, and I still have more plans for it. Basically, I took the front grip off a very distressed Double Shot, sliced my Raider's foregrip in half to accommodate the new part(which was a perfect fit with a little sanding) and hotglued the two together and bingo. You got yourself a more zombie slaying suited Raider. I plan on doing internal mods to this later on and painting that retarded candy yellow on the pump black. Just a little something for me to do while I wait to snatch up a Rampage.
