Board Thread:General Nerf discussion/@comment-24743922-20181221032810

Hello, guys! Jason Felper, a fellow Nerfer from a Facebook group I am part of, showed this to me today. It's basically a way to enhance the capacity of clips without making them more prone to jamming. He's been able to fit eight darts inside the 6-Dart Clip, and 15 inside the 12-dart one. I think this is something we could do with some spare clips, huh?

I'll just quote him from now on.

"It always bugged me that Nerf could use less plastic and fit more darts. I've left this spring compressed with 8 darts in it for months now, and it keeps up just fine with spamming semi-auto. I'm sure it's fine with full auto blasters, though I'll play with that later.

All I did was literally only remove plastic on the bottom of the follower and a little around the screw pegs to allow the follower to compress the spring further.

I left 1/8 inch or 3mm of plastic on the follower's bottom.

I also snipped the inside of the follower in two places allow space for the spring to compress. Be sure to make it angled like in the photos to help guide the spring when compressed.

Take note of spring placement and that I've looped the spring around a screw post.

It's actually pretty easy, and I imagine if you've got 6 dart magazines laying about, why not?

Update: this works on 12 dart magazines! Basically, same steps for the 6 round, but there are little nubs that stop the follower from going too far down the magazine. Remove those and you're good! I'll be experimenting further this weekend with other capacities."

I want to see what you guys think of this. I'm especially anxious for Elliott's opinion, as he's the Engineer of the house. But hey, you are also welcome to give your two cents!
