Looking to step up your Nerf game? Here is a tutorial on how to do all of the basic lock-removals and modifications for the Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe.
EditSteps
EditDisassembling the Stryfe
- Get to know your gun. Learn the internals of the Stryfe; this will help just in case you seem to have misplaced a piece or the blaster is no longer functional.
- Begin by un-screwing all of the screws on the outside of the blaster, except for the one located on the bottom-left most side of the blaster.
- Carefully separate the top half of the shell from the bottom half and set it aside for later.
- You are now ready to modify your Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe.
EditReleasing Trigger Locks (Stage 1)
- Start by removing the small "L" shaped piece at the top of the magazine well, it also has a spring. You may throw this piece away as now to serves no purpose.
- Unscrew the middle most big silver screw located in the trigger assembly. Make sure to keep that screw for later. Gently raise the arm that it held down and rotate it out of the way.
- Unscrew the bottom most screw from the trigger assembly and remove the trigger itself. One again, make sure you keep that screw with the trigger.
- Unscrew the two screws sitting diagonally from one an other located on a retaining plate to the left of the screw you undid in step three. Again, keep the screw. Remove the retaining plate entirely and set it aside.
- Lift up the orange tab which is currently sticking into the magazine well of the blaster, and set it aside for later.
- Remove the remaining orange piece, which also has a spring attached. You may throw the piece away.
- Replace the orange tab which was removed earlier and replace it in the blaster. Push the orange tab right until is presses the little black button below it all the way down, then use a small piece of electrical tape to hold it in position. You use a smaller second piece in you feel one is not enough. When putting the electrical tape in the blaster, do not cover the screw holes or the pin wholes shown in the photo above.
- Replace the retaining plate in the blaster and screw it back in tightly. This will also help the electrical tape to stay put.
EditReassembling the Trigger Assembly
- Place the trigger back into place and screw it back in. Make sure not to screw it too tightly or the trigger will be too tight.
- Swing the arm from step 2 of "Releasing Trigger Locks" back into position and screw it back in.
EditReleasing Trigger Locks (Stage 2)
- Unscrew the silver screw located to the right of the rev trigger and take out the orange plate.
- Remove the entire rev trigger and make sure to keep the spring with it.
- Remove the orange tab. It also has a spring attached to it. You may throw it away.
- Place the rev trigger back into position and make sure the spring is pushed past the small wall between the area with the rev trigger and the area with the orange tab you removed.
- Make sure to push the rev trigger all the way down before proceeding, or else the button will not be pressed down.
- You may add a small piece of electrical tape onto the little metal box which holds the button, just in case.
- Re-screw the orange plate from step one.
EditModifying the Voltage
- Find, in the top right of the blaster internals, the small chip called a Thermistor which shuts the blaster down if there is too much energy running through it. On it is what looks like a yellow omega (Ω) symbol.
- Gently lift the omega shaped piece until it's standing upright.
- Twist it slowly and gently until the 2 wires are touching. Make sure not to over-twist the omega shaped piece or attempt to re-twist it because it will break and require soldering.
- You may press the omega shaped piece down slightly but make sure not to push it down to far and too hard or the wires will snap.
EditReassembling Your Blaster
- Put the other half of the shell on the half you were working on.
- Screw everything back in.
EditTips
- Having both a precision screwdriver and a normal screw driver is very important because some of the screws are smaller or bigger than others.
- After un-screwing the screws on the outside of the blaster keep them all together in a cup or plastic bag, make sure not to lose them.
- Despite becoming obsolete in the blaster your currently modifying, you should keep all of the spring which you remove, incase you need it in a blaster later on.
EditWarnings
- Remember, when un-screwing the blaster, do not un-screw the screw on the bottom-left most side of the blaster, located on the orange area because it is not necessary to open the blaster.
- When opening the blaster pieces may get lose or springs might pop out, so make sure you have everything in a cup or a plastic bag before beginning to modify.
- When modifying the voltage of the blaster, pay great attention to the polarity of the batteries when you place them in, because it will completely break the blaster.
- When modifying your voltage, make sure to not over-twist the omega shaped piece or attempt to re-twist it because it will break and require soldering.
