So my DIY blaster...

First of all, I'm trying not spend any money because like I said I'm not really a serious nerfer and I don't go to Nerf wars either. I guess the goal of what I'm doing is just to have some fun using things that I already have to revive my RapidStrike, and also get more practise with my airbrush on the shell.

My plan is to get all the functional parts together first. I already have the pusher and flywheels, and I need the magwell and the triggers.

My magazine release piece was lost from the RapidStrike, so I took the dimensions and I'm going to cut out the pieces for a homemade magwell from a 1/8" piece of acrylic I found leftover from some other project.  The acrylic is great because I can leave the panel that will be facing me clear so I can see if I have a dart left.

For the handle and triggers I'm going to cut out the handle from the RapidStrike, probably with a dremel (don't have a bandsaw) then drop in some new switches the average way.

Now for the shell. I don't really know if i should go for a bullpup or a conventional style or even a mag in the side. I'll probably try to sketch or make a MS paint collage to design it, then I'll use more acrylic and everything I can get from a broken Maverick and maybe a Sharpfire for detailing.
