Part 2: Muzzle Attachments



The Nerf muzzle has a wider diameter than X-Shot's.

The lugs are skewed about 150 degrees differently than each other.

The X-Shot's wider lug channel has a "key tab" protruding from the center of it.

Q1: Will X-Shot barrel extensions fit onto Nerf blasters?

A1: Absolutely not. (With the caveat that since the interior cylinder wall seems thin enough that you could probably split it to "stretch" the extra diameter, and Dremel the outer housing wider, and rotate the lugs... but the short answer is "Absolutely not")

Q2: Will Nerf barrel extensions fit onto X-Shot Blasters?

A2: No, not really.

Since they're bigger around, the only thing PREVENTING that is the "key tab" clogging up the center of the larger lug channel, and that's easily filed/chiseled/shaved/Dremeled away. But after all that work, you'd be left with an awkwardly-rotated barrel extension, due to the rotational differences in the lugs' positions. Not to mention it'd be VERY wobbly. I actually think "floppy" would be a more accurate characterization.

NOTE: I'll take a side-view pic later to compare the "overlap", or "how far in" the lugs go before you can twist them. If those dimensions don't match, it'd be pointless to remove that raised key that's clogging the channel...
