Modify a Nerf Gun Recon CS-6
The Nerf-branded Recon CS-6 toy gun is restricted to shooting only one kind of Nerf dart as no other will fit into the barrel. You can modify the Nerf Recon CS-6, however, so that it will be able to shoot any kind of Nerf-branded dart that can be bought at a toy or hobby shop. You will need to partially disassemble the Recon CS-6 and remove some of the plastic from internal parts, voiding the Nerf warranty. The procedure is straightforward and does not require any mechanical skills. Adult supervision is required for children because hardware tools are going to be used.
Instructions
1. Place a bath towel on a table. Put the Recon CS-6 on its side on the bath towel with the barrel facing to the left.
