Nerf Arrowstorm Mod

This gun is simply awesome! It's the gun that started my family Nerf wars and my current Nerf obsession. Back in the day I had no idea that you could modify guns to make them shoot other darts. We didn't really need to. It seems to be meant for older kids. To fire it you have to be able to pull it back and younger kids just don't have the strength.

They are hard to find now. Most of the people that have them don't let go of them. You can sometimes get lucky and find them on E-bay, but not very often. Airzone (Toys R Us) re-released a very close knock off to this gun (also called it Arrow Storm) a few years ago but that one has also disappeared.

I really like this gun, as is, so I didn't want to do too much to it. I did want to see if I could get it to shoot regular darts though so I decided to see if marker barrels would fit and they did, almost perfectly. Marker barrels are just Crayola or Rose Art markers that you hallow out and use as a barrel to shoot almost every form of Nerf dart. I like them. They are cheap, easy to find, easy to use and serve my needs well.

Here's a video of what I did....



I now get 70ft+ with streamline darts shooting level. It's a beast of a gun! I recently went to Toys R Us and bought some of the Air Zone arrows to see if they would work. They do very well! I get better ranges with those arrows than I do with the old school ones or the ones that come with the big bad bow.
