Ever since that last Nerf war, I've been hooked on Nerf Guns and modifying. The thing you should know about me is that I can be very competitive and so of course I would want to try to make my gun better than others. I pretty much spent most of my weekend watching Youtube videos on how to do such modifications. I removed the air restrictors, full barrel mod, eliminated dead space, and stretched the spring. It may sound a lot, but it's actually quick and easy. Here's a good read-me tutorial: http://humansvszombies.org/archives/550, however, I personally find it easier to visually see how its done in Youtube videos. The average distance of a stock Maverick was between 25-28. My newly modded Maverick ranges between 30-35, which in my opinion is pretty good. After I had finished the modding, I took a look at my Maverick and noticed there was still a problem. The colors. Blue and yellow was just not working for me, so I decided to drop by Michael's Arts and Crafts to purchase glossy black and chrome silver spray paint. Now that's what I call a sexy gun.
In the end, I spent nothing for the nerf gun, $6 for the spray paints, $8 for the tactical rail light w/ 10 darts, and a few hours putting it all together. Total = $14 + tax, so $15. Worth it? Eh.. yes in that it gave me something to do and I had fun, but money-wise, not so much.
