I’ll admit it, I bought a Nerf Raider just for the drum magazine. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the Slam-fire feature, but I really just wanted more ammo capacity for my Recon. This left me with the problem of what to do with an under-used Raider.
One afternoon, as I was watching the first Iron Man movie for the third or fourth time, I was struck with an idea. The arm mounted flame thrower on the Mark I inspired my most ambitious mod to date. I call it the Marauder.
I gutted the raider, and sawed off the barrel. I removed the pump action, and reworked it into a bolt action. Then I cut off the grip, and glued the trigger back so that it would always be in Slam-fire mode. Once I was sure that it was working properly, I used two kinds of epoxy to attach the blaster to an armor plate that I had fashioned from a length of 4 inch diameter PVC pipe.
It still needs permanent straps and a finished paint job, but it is fully operational, arm mounted Slam-fire goodness.
I’ll post more pics when I get around to finishing it.
I think I have a new project to do now. Finally an excuse to get the rampage.
How much?
This piece is currently unfinished, and thus not for sale. However, if there is enough interest, then I may open an Etsy store in the near future. I might even take commissions on a case by case basis, but that would be in October at the earliest.
