The Nerf Blaster Modification Guide: The Unofficial Handbook for Making Your Foam Arsenal Even More Awesome Kindle Edition

Nice book on Nerf guns

This is an excellent book for learning about blaster modification. Very well put together.

Great book on how to modify your Nerf Blasters. Mainly deals with the mechanics of Nerf guns and how to improve performance. My only disappointment was only one chapter on painting Nerf Blasters. Wish there were more info on that aspect. Overall a great book for Nerf modifications!

When I started getting into Nerf mods about a decade ago, the resources for finding out what the heck you were supposed to be doing were pretty thin on the ground. There were a few scattered online resources, but they were mostly obscured by arcane terminology and steep learning curves. The quality of the advice also varied wildly. It was a process of trial and error, mostly error, if I'm being honest. Some years later, Youtube channels started popping up, and I found out that I was not the only weirdo in the world who enjoyed the idea of being able to lodge a dart into my co-workers ear from across the office (bit of a relief for me, less so for my long-suffering co-workers). Outofdarts was one of these channels and I watched everything he put out and learned a lot from him. When I found out that a beginners guide was coming out, I decided to get it, partly in order to show support, and partly to see if there were any tricks that I had missed along the way. It's fair to say the book has exceeded my expectations. The step by step instructions are well illustrated and easy to follow. The terms are defined in a clear and concise manner, with pictures (always a problem when starting out). The links to further reading and viewing material are a great plus. There's even a bit about 3D printing that I'm sure will prove to be a great resource when I finally decide to take a plunge down that road. Overall, I would have preffered this to have been out a decade or so ago, it would have prevented a lot of plastic wastage on my part. Highly recommended for anyone new to the hobby or even veterans who just want this as a resource book in their library.

My three sons and I have been waiting weeks for this book to show up. It arrived today!I changed my schedule this evening and read it cover to cover. Easy to read but filled with fantastic information that we can use in our current and future builds. It is a page turner whether you are a veteran modder or new to the hobby.Luke has been a great resource for us (via email) on three Nerf HIRricane builds already, so “having” him next to us in book form for our three Stryfe builds is going to be great. We have a Kronos mod and a Retaliator build right around the corner, so the book is here right when we need it! And with three Stryfe builds to handle, it is great to have a whole chapter dedicated to that model.Luke’s experience, his ability to make what’s complicated easy to understand, his presentation skills, and his innovative approach to teaching (and mod design) is second to none. With chapters covering the most pertinent subjects, and awesome photos to go with every topic, this book was very well laid out.Luke’s teaching allowed us to do for our first build. Now we are all in! Thanks Luke. We would not have had the courage to try without you. Now we have a hobby we can all enjoy together...forever. -Art

Bought for a 13-year-old's Christmas. Our son has gotten into nerf gun modding, and this seems to be the only book on the subject. Despite the short length, the (very) young recommended age range, and my expectation that a now nearly two-year-old book on the subject would get out of date fast, I got it for him. He's telling me it's been very helpful with some specific problems he had, and has suggested/inspired some ideas for later work. It's not out of date, it's systematic, and it gives detailed procedures with lots of photos for mods to some guns which are easily translated to others. It also gives some suggestions for further modding techniques (3D printing components, painting, electronics) which are directions I want him to go in. It helps he has tools and a work area for rc aircraft already. You can go through the whole book in maybe a couple of hours, and then come back for some details later. Recommended. Make sure to get a couple of magnetic parts cups.

What up, guys? RED VYPER (my youtuber codename) here!sorry I have not been around for awhile.so, I found this book pretty nice, the writing was fluid,but, the book did have a few kinks.first of all, it had some trouble with staying on topic in the "modding history" chapter. it also had some times when you went from an easy mod (triad) to a fairly complex one (kronos)but it was a good book for mod instructions, and the links can always help if you need more info, so I want to give this book three stars. I think getting it would a good idea.

I bought this for my ten year old for a birthday gift. Yes, I know that you can find out all of this info online - but, sometimes, having a book around is still a pretty handy thing. Car rides? Quiet time? Grounded from tablet use? He loves learning about the different modifications as well as the combinations. And, with an arsenal of 30+ NERF guns (I have two boys and a husband who refuses to grow up) he definitely has all of the parts to make most of the suggestions in this book happen. Even his friends at his birthday party thought this was the coolest gift ever. It is the third NERF book we bought and he reads them over and over. Great gift for an active child (or dad) who has a love of all things NERF.

This introduction to Nerf blaster modding was created by Luke Goodman. He is the person behind the company Out Of Darts. What he has created here is an excellent jump off point to learn about taking off the counter Nerf blasters and taking them to the next level. Full of pictures easy to follow directions but more than that it also shows you the nature of modding and things to consider.There's a full breakdown on the types of tools that you should have available if you decide to go into this. There are sections describing the difference between springers and flywheel blasters. Most importantly there are wiring instructions directions and principles. Most importantly there is a section on LiPO batteries how to use them, how to choose them, how to be safe with them and their benefits. This is a must-have tome.This book is one of the very best investments you can make if you are looking to expand your experience in the Nerf or rather foam dart blaster Hobby!

Such a good book, lots of amazing photographs and a really inspirational quote about painting from this guy called FDS.Great for big kids or parents looking for projects to build with older children that they can both play with afterwards.

Schönes Buch mit jeder Menge großformatiger Fotos. Das Buch ist ein guter Ideengeber und lädt zum Durchblättern und lesen ein. Wer dann tatsächlich einen Blaster modifizieren will, sollte sich aber sicher auch zusätzliche entsprechende Videos oder Anleitungen im Web anschauen. Für Nerf-Fans aber sicher ein gutes Geschenk.

With my kids getting into Nerf I wanted to fix up my old blasters. Though the intent of the book is to upgrade or modify Nerf guns it was instrumental in my repairs. The Author of this actually designs and builds aftermarket blasters and is well known in this hobby.

Great for learning how to mod nerf guns .
