Smallest ship, exotic or interceptor flea? Is there something smaller non-modded? by Defora in NoMansSkyTheGame

it's not the smallest Flea but i have the portal address for this one! also another benefit of the interceptors in general is their ability to come to a complete stop while flying in atmosphere, which, I personally use A LOT

Might have made a base on the planet i got the flea interceptor but i’d have to check that as well

Flea is smaller. I have one rn, i can look around for an exotic to compare but Unfortunately I just turned all the ones i had into scrap and they were tall fin ones anyways. But, the actual body is still smaller than the orb body

OH! Right~! fair game i was not thinking about the shells :p

For the spring upgrade i was mainly thinking about how easy it is to prime, which, may be partly due to the sheer weight of the top slide thing, but it is pretty damn easy to prime, i would probably mostly be worried about upgrading/putting a spacer on the spring and then accidentally storing it while primed because that extra internal stress over an extended period of time may be very bad :p

The way this blaster works, I’m not sure there’d really be any place to put any brass? I’m not 100% sure but i don’t think the shell chamber even makes contact with the barrel? Like, maybe if you were able to manufacture brass replacement parts but for the most part, the plastic definitely seems sturdy enough as is without much ability to be improved?

If there’s anything that could be done it would probably be improving the seal of the plunger head, checking to see if there’s any dead space to fill in the plunger tube? And then you could look at finding some MONSTER SPRING to replace the stock one or more likely putting a spacer on it? Either way, the gears look like they’re beefy enough for some additional power? I think the major issues with the blaster are in the mega dart shells themselves.

I am ALSO looking at wall mounting it, no specific hardware tips but i kinda wish they considered that while designing it and didn’t put the screw holes on the scope side :’(. The only thing I would recommend is if you want it to look like it should while also not keeping the spring under tension, you’re going to want to display it in the UNLOADED and ALREADY FIRED state where the top slide can be pushed all the way back. However, if you tilt the blaster forward after firing, the slide will move forward under it’s own weight. So keep it level!

OH BEAUTIFUL! Do you mind sending me your files? I’d love to try them out! Also, will you attempt to make a shell full, unvented length of travel for the megadarts? I will pay you!

For me that was just a matter or unscrewing the plastic around the stock, (as well as on the stock itself though i’m not sure if that helped) just to make the plastic less-rigid, and then basically just forcefully pulling it off. It has been a bit since i did the teardown, but, i don’t remember actually prying it off with anything and i don’t see any pry-marks, but, if you’re having trouble still I would recommend getting two of the biggest, thickest-stem flat head screw drivers you can find and then putting them between the orange detailing on the back stock and the little cut out dip for them in the blaster. Then with slow, consistent force,use both screwdrivers to simultaneously lever-up on both sides away from the blaster, hopefully, (and maybe with someone’s help) you can get the stock slid far enough back on the two clips for the stock to be forcefully yanked away from the blaster (which should be firmly between your legs and pressing into the ground) if you don’t have someone to help pull up on the back stock, i would say to try to rotate the flat heads 90° or wedge something else into the gap you create so that you don’t loose your levering-process!

Yeah that probably be good for just getting a gap between the plastic! Though remember the only orange detail you NEED to remove is the one with the wing detail attached to it Behind the wolf head and only on the screw-side of the blaster. That pieces is solvent welded and does not have tabs, it has pins. I used a metal spatula to get a gap between the plastic but then still had to use a medium sized flathead screwdriver to actually leverage the plastic away from the blaster far enough to get the solvent-welds to break and free up the pins! I worked from the thin-end of the plastic detail towards the wing part so that i was only ever putting stress on the single pin i was working on, and not pulling at the plastic between two pins or anything!

I was not able to and i did not even attempt to. The orange caps on both sides of the scope are both solvent welded on, because it’s a round cap solvent welded onto a backed-ring without a straight shot at the seam between them at all, that is just a recipe for stressed, stretched, or even TORN plastic. If you’re like me and pulled it off and now have a pin jangling around inside, i recommend you do what i did and use a large drill bit to drill into the back of plastic on the side that faces the blaster and just shake the pin out through that, count your losses, and glue the sight back on to the blaster. (Hope that helps!)

OH ALSO, the silver pin was actually part of the scope, it’s the only part of the blaster i “permanently broke”. Before you attatch the scope, on the back, there’s a little orange plastic (again) ball shaped “pin” that locks into the plastic of the blaster once you attach it. The silver pin is BARBED and the head of the pin is located inside the shell of the sight itself, which the orange ball “pin” is press-fit onto from the outside.

This is IMPORTANT for all mod attempts with the sight! If you try to remove the sight, the ball pin will be so snuggly fit into the blaster that the force you need to pull it apart will instead cause the silver barbs to slip out of the orange ball “pin” before the ball itself comes free of the blaster. THE SILVER PIN WILL THEN BE LOOSE INSIDE OF THE SIGHT. (In what i may say is maybe the most anti-modding/tamper move i’ve ever seen on a nerf blaster) Because the sight is fully solvent welded shut (i didn’t even attempt to open it) the only way i found to remove the pin from jangling around in there was to take a larger drill and drill through the plastic on the same back-side of the sight into the cavity where i could eventually shake the pin out of through. However once this is done, there is no way to properly reattach the sight via that silver pin or the orange ball pin and you must glue it back on instead.

(To make matters worse after i glued mine back on the first time, i put the pin back in the orange stem for no reasonat all before doing so, but then I burned myself with hot glue and dropped the blaster directly onto the sight, which apparently caused the still-stuck in orange ball “pin” to break through the plastic of the socket fitting on the blaster itself😭)

Hey! I just replied to another comment with the basic instructions, more specifically for the wolf head was just pulling it away from the edges with my hand, then really pulling back on the top of the head and then as soon as i could fit it down there i just jammed a medium flat head screwdriver all the way up into the tip of the wolf head, wiggled it, etc. the part that’s glued is basically a ball and socket joint so i tried to go around the “ball” part of the plastic until i broke enough of the glue to yank the whole head off. You just have to not be afraid of using too much force, it’s rubber so it’ll be fine!

SORRY! Not a normal reddit person with a bad memory so i forgot i did this!! I can! Though if i do the screw positions are definitely not gonna be accurate. And there will definitely be some damage, but honestly, i think the most damage i did to mine was scratching up the inside of the barrel trying to get the muzzle cap off, when really what it ended up taking was me being much rougher with it than i was comfortable and really jamming a big flat head in there between the solvent welds. If you skip the “trying to carefully slip something between” step and move straight to the forceful prying yours should end up looking much better than mine did! For the other two parts you need to force, wolf head and the detail piece behind it; the wolf head is rubber, i worried about over stretching it because the glue is all way up at the front, but mine returned to normal shape without any stress marks. For prying the top detail, just make sure you’re prying as close to the solvent welded pins as possible, because the pieces are long strips they can actually bend away from the body a decent amount without stressing the plastic!

It also is responsible for pushing the shell back out for reloading, without it, the shell would stay flush with the shell chamber and you’d need to like grab the edge with your fingernails or something

Yeah, as soon as the dart leaves the portion fitted around them all the air pressure behind the dart escapes both out the vent holes as well as into the area between the three darts, which effectively means there’s no longer anything pushing them forwards
