The Nerf "Ice Drake" A Custom Longstrike + Maverick Integration

Hey guys, it's Drac and I'm back on the horse. I just cranked out this Ice Drake (commissioner's name, I wanted to call it the Hunter). I'm really pleased with how it turned out but I'd love to get feedback on what you guys think. If you're interested in making one yourselves, the video shows how I did it step by step.

I think its a cool way to augment the longstrike and it doesnt sacrifice the mobility of either blaster. I may be doing more with this detachable integration trick in the future.

My Tron Nitefinder Giveaway and Build

Hey guys, it's Drac and I'm sorry I haven't made a post in a while. I have been super busy with end of year student stuff (exams, tests, packing, driving). I also attended my first war which was a solid drive and a ton of fun. Anyway, I'm offering this contest/giveaway blaster up to my subscribers on youtube and wanted to make it avaliable to the viewers here as well.



So there you have it! Drop me a comment below to enter and I'll addend these comments into the ones from my channel when I do the drawing.

P.S. There will be many more posts this summer, I have more free time and can amp up the modding.

Introducing my Hellsing Arms Casull .454 AUTO

This is my mod that is half for cosplay and half for my own personal satisfaction. I've been meaning to complete this mod for a while and finally got around to doing the detailing. The detailing took an hour for each side because enamel paint leaves no room for mistakes. I really enjoyed this project and think it turned out looking pretty nice. My only regret is that I have no way to enlongate the barrel and make it a bit more true to the anime. After all, my alucard cosplay has won awards, it's about time I made a decent prop. I'll probably attempt the Jackal sometime later, but for now this will suffice.



I really want some opinions on this blaster. Let me know what you think of the asthetic and whether or not the readers here would be interested in seeing more nerf guns from anime. If you have a particular one in mind, drop me a comment. Thanks for reading.

Introducing the Sharp Fang, my Sharp Shot Cosmetic Mod

I finally finished the Sharp Fang, a complete cosmetic overhaul on the sharp shot that turned out so clean and looks so good that this thing may be on my person for all nerf events now. It just was such a clean pait job I want to show it off. This blaster seems pretty shrimpy when it's stock but if youre willing to put in a few hours (cough cough 5-6), then you can turn up with something as great as this, and I for one, would love to see it:

New Dart Tag 2011 Sharp Shot Review and Mod

I just got in my Sharp Shot from the 2011 dart tag line and have every intention of overhauling it. Even though it's a reverse plunger system, it is nice, and I enjoy the feel of it (I have large hands). The Review video is below, and the mod video will be added to this post soon. The custom paintjob and detailing and LEDS I hope to do will be a separate post.

Ultimate mod guide for all three star wars blasters is live

So, I have finally finished modding all three of the star wars blasters I picked up a while ago. The first thing to mention is that the cad bane and grieveous are a PAIN. If you dont seriously know how to make things look better cosmetically afterwards, buy the rex. The rex comes apart cleanly. The others must be carved up a bit. Once modded, these things shoot all darts nicely and get fair ranges.

Humans vs. Zombies Game 1 Final Mission Vidoc

Well, I made it. I had to take out zombies the whole way, sprint for longer than I thought I could, and crawl through woods and even a swamp on my campus. But I made it to the car that was the evac point. I'm the only one who lived, but it was a great game and I like to think my army won with me since they were cheering me on the whole way. I can't wait for the next game. I'll have more, better blasters, and now that I've proved that I can beat the odds, my new goal is to get the majority of my army through the next game intact. Vidoc is below:

New Hasbro Star Wars Blasters are Neat

Here is my demo and review video fo the latest star wars blasters by hasbro. The darts are really cool and I'm excited to see how the blasters perform once I'm done modding them. I fully intend to steampunk the cadbane one because my friend from johnson arms has been coaching me in steampunk paintjobs. Hopefully I can live up to his extrordinary work.



Still working on editing those HvZ vidocs...

Simple Nerf Firefly Rev-8 Mod is Live

I finished my nerf firefly simple mod tutorial and wanted to share it with you all. It isn't quite as powerful as Jerm's really cool air powered firefly over at NR&R. The firefly is just a really cool blaster that has an nice profile to run with and wield with one hand (as long as you've already primed it). Anyway, I wanted to post some content while I'm busy editing these HvZ vidocs (college kids curse like you wouldn't believe). Vidoc number 2 should be my next post.

Finished Raider Mod Tutorial is Live

Here is the video launch for my ultimate nerf radier mod tutorial. This is truly an impressive blaster now for mid-range accuracy and rate of fire and I expect to use it in hvz missions now. Possibly with an alpha drum to keep it light. All mods are described in the video, but I forgot to mention that I painted that one orange barrel piece black to make it easilly distinguishable from my unmodded raiders. (As if the lack of jam door isn't enough.)

Finished Custom Minimized Nitefinder for hVz!!!

In this video, I show you how I ended up making a really minimized and powerful nf with a keyring pull mod and a spring replacement that gives some serious power to the blaster. Ive basically made a really small sniper rifle that will use any of my CPVC speedloaders.

Finished my Longshot Frontgun Integration Mod.

I finally got around to finishing my longshot frontgun integration mod. After modding the frontgun's somewhat finicky internals I can get about 35-40 feet nicely out of it. I just wish I had a better spring to put in it after putting the time into a cool brass barrel.

Regardless, I think that for my first attempt at a longshot mod, this turned out to be a pretty efficient and powerful blaster and while it isnt my cleanest build ever, it is solid.

Simple Longshot Mod Tutorial is 1/2 complete

I have finished half of what I want to accomplish on my longshot mod. I have sucessfully made the main blaster much more powerful, and reinforced the stock. I want to do a killer paintjob so badly, but I want to use it for hVz more. The other half will come when I have the time to finish it in the form of a basic frontgun integration. Check the vid for details and specs:

Crazy Simple Nerf Tactical Light Mod.

I found a really cheap, but powerful flashlight at Wal-Mart for $3 that fits inside the nerf tactical light housing perfectly. I love how easy and cheap this little mod was.

Finished My Killer Radioactive Maverick Mods

I just finished my twin radioactive maverick mods and I have to say they look and function even better than I had originally anticipated. The hit pretty awesome ranges for a maverick. I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to get much more than 40 feet consistantly from a maverick. The real focus here is the cosmetics and lighting job. These both look good, but the primary one looks phenominal when running around at night.



Basically, the green barrels were carves out and I kept the original slide cover (black piece in stock mavericks. The switch was wired up FIRST, and then embedded into the plastic, the mini 12 volt is nested inside the barrels but off of the metal pole, so rotation still works, and the wires to the LEDs are all weaved around the air restrictor disks (which I painted black). The other bits are just my typical maverick mods and simple paintjobs.

Simple Scout Mod for serious power gain

In this video I show you a simple mod to the nerf scout to get more power. I basically recycled my element's spring into the case of the scout and it barely fits, but packs more punch. I also dremeled out the holes on the slide for that cool vented look. Overall, this was a fast mod im pretty pleased with. Radioactive maverick mod tutorial coming soon. Its gonna be awesome. Ill post it at NM&R as well.
