a Gray House - Custom Accessories: Recon Holster

Wow. We have a HUGE submission from a Gray House, who sent us information and photos of his custom Nerf accessories. The email was so long, we decided to spare you a long post and give each accessory its own post! If the top image doesn't tell you already, these custom made accessories are sharp looking, so read past the jump for a better look at it!

BullsEyeNerf: Stinger Pumpsnap

This is the first homemade blaster we've had submitted and, while I'm usually not a fan of these, it's got a nice paintjob to go along with it.  It even has a mounting point on the back for capturing footage during games.  Check it out!

In the yellow circle I'm eventually going to paint a killer bee.

I did it based off NerfOMania's design. Love the performance (about 100ft flat with domes.)

For my first time taping and using vinyl dye, I say I did pretty good.

It's also my first homemade. Awesome camera mount to capture war footage. 

It doesn't really shake when priming of shooting. 

It came out really nice and I'm proud. 

There is foam on the priming handle and trigger for comfort.

It uses a hopper or anything else you can use with a  PVC coupler.

Over all it turned out really cool. 

Remember, Patience makes Perfect!

Darthrambo: Firefly Alpha Trooper

Here's an awesome one from the realm of the Darthness.  It's a cosmetically modified Alpha Trooper with a bit of a neat twist to it:  inbuilt Firefly Tech.  Instead of having the clip charge your darts, there's an LED inside the Alpha Trooper that'll charge glow-streamlines in any standard clip.  Darthrambo's Alpha Trooper is a great looking blaster with a smart take on the Firefly Tech system.

"Just the standard stuff for functionality but I did some stuff cosmetically.  LEDs, Tac light tac rail attachment with UV LEDs, White LEDs, and laser.,  Faux leather grip and some paint. On a side note if i replace the led for the jam door with a UV, it will make this a firefly AT that can use any clip."

Neo Creations: Longshot CS-6

...Wow.

Well. Here's one spectacular Longshot. Painted by Neo Creations, this puppy took over six hours of his life, and it shows. That metallic blue is a great choice, and the combination of that with the copper and steel looks fantastic. If you're curious about the inside, it has received the basic AR and dart peg removal treatment, fixing its horrible swollen AR problem (ARitis, if you prefer).





More pictures over on his blog. He's planning on putting it up on Ebay later this week, so if you really like it, consider buying it! (And you'll be supporting the arts!)

Bazookafied: Long Spectre Project

So I was patiently waiting for Wal-Mart to get off their cushy tooshies and release the rumored Whiteout Series Spectre, but I've grown impatient (not to mention come to the realization that it likely won't happen now) and wanted to get my snow-inspired Long Spectre up and running.  So... I DID!  Gotta say I'm happy with how things have turned out.  Though I didn't actually replicate the Whiteout logos, the effect of a white rifle-style Spectre is pure eye candy to me.

The "Long Spectre", as I've come to call it, also is a deceptively powerful blaster.  While most would see the barrel extension and assume that it gets poor ranges, the Spectre has more than enough power behind it's modified double-spring internals to sling foam well beyond the barrel so as to not have it impede range like they usually do.  The second spring sits inside the diameter of the stock spring and gets excellent ranges, comparable to a Nite Finder with an upgraded OMW spring.  I was surprised to see this powerful change and it easily established itself as a great looking blaster with looks to boot!

The Long Spectre, in it's Whiteout Series style, can be seen at my blog, along with a video covering it's functions and abilities. Visit Tactical Tag to get more of a look at this blaster!

Peter Torres: Black Widow Longshot!

I'm not sure how all 3 of us missed this one!  Been in the inbox for over a month but STILL worth sharing! This one's a customized Nerf Longshot, and I must say I'm a fan of it.

If he's got any more of that red paint left, I'd put a "Black Widow" sign on it (the two red triangles that look like an hourglass) to really help sell the name on this guy, but it still looks great!  Here's what he had to say about it:

I just started modding Nerf guns and this is my first paint job I have done to a gun.  First I took it apart and modded the internals.  AR removal, new springs, padding the plunger...all that good stuff.  I wish I would have taken off the clip lock and the jam door lock but I can always pull it apart again if someone wanted.  I then sanded it down.  I spray painted it all black.  I decided to put a PVC barrel extension on the front of the gun so I glued that on to the attachment piece for some extra length.  I put PVC in the stock of the gun to help prevent it from collapsing.  After putting it all back together I liked how it looked but was not fully in love.  I was looking through my paint in my garage and found some red paint.  I love black and red together and think they look super sexy together...I decided to accent the gun with some red.  After it was dry I put my red dot on top (its a crossman red dot for an air-soft gun or something like that which is hot glued onto a mount for a Nerf gun) of the rail and chased my little brother around the house shooting him.  Good times :)

I really enjoyed modding this blaster and plan on doing more in the future!

Tactical_Tagger777: Urban Camo Mav

I think it's safe to say that 2012 is the "Year of the Maverick submissions" for Universal Nerf!  And rightfully so, as it just won the 2011 Boys' Toy of the Year in the UK, despite it being one of the oldest N-Strike Blasters.

I also gotta say I like this guy's name.  Something about it seems... familiar!
