If you have any suggestions for this, comment down below!

A homemade blaster is a type of dart blaster that cannot be purchased in stores and must either be created by hand or purchased from its creator.

Details
A homemade blaster is commonly made of wood, PVC pipes, and sometimes metal. With the growing popularity of 3D printing, it is also becoming more and more common within homemade blaster construction.

Most old-school homemade blasters are hopper-fed, where darts are loaded on the top, facing downwards and slightly forwards when being primed. Simpler homemade blasters are externally loaded.

History
(insert history of the creation of modded blasters, with details on how they evolved over time.)

Notable old-school blasters
Notable types of old-school homemade blasters include Rainbow-style blasters, SNAP-style blasters, and +Bow blasters.

A +Bow, or PlusBow is a type of homemade blaster. They are ergonomically similar to the 1995 Nerf Action Crossbow, hence their name.

Details
+Bows are long, rifle-like blasters that have built-in stocks. They tend to have long plungers. +Bows can either be muzzle-loaded or hopper-loaded. The priming handle is usually located at the back and built into the stock, similar to the priming mechanism of a Nerf Action Crossbow. A Rainbow blaster is a type of homemade blaster. Types of Rainbow blasters range from smaller, pistol styles to larger rifle styles.

Details
Rainbow blasters are externally primed, similar to external mechanism blasters. They are either muzzle-loaded or loaded with a breakable or removable barrel.

History
The first Rainbow blaster was created by Nerf Haven users Stark, Beaver, and Automatron in 2010, based on previous homemades such as the +Bow and the original SNAP.

A SNAP is a type of a homemade blaster. Like Rainbow blasters, they range in style from smaller pistols to larger rifles.

Details
A SNAP is similar to that of a Rainbow blaster; however, SNAP blasters are more focused on performance rather that aesthetic or appearance. They are made mostly from PVC piping and grips are usually taken from other blasters, such as the Maverick REV-6 and the Nite Finder EX-3.
