Familiarize yourself with the internal mechanism of the blaster. A reference photo has been provided in picture eight. At this point, all internal modifications to the blaster are complete, and we are ready to reassemble the blaster. To do this: The O-ring seal on the plunger tubing makes sure that the air compressed by the plunger assembly and spring does not leak out during compression. Some blasters come with an excellent O-ring seal, while others come with undersized or loose O-rings. Improving this seal is an easy mod that can add a few extra feet to your shots.

Today I am going the show you how to do basic all-around beginner--intermediate modifications in the Nerf Recon CS-6 The pre-recall Recon had an exposed plunger, which had the word "ARMED" written on the side and served as a priming indicator. The Kohls-exclusive Recon CS-6 Special Edition includes a Recon, as well as two additional six dart clip and twelve more Streamline Darts. Cosmetic modding, when done right, yields stunning results. A humble foam blaster can become anything from a dystopian “steampunk” gun to a clean cut weapon right out of science fiction. They can even mimic weapons out of video games and movies. The Recon MKIII is a Nerf blaster that was released in summer of 2021 under the N-Strike Modulus series.One can dual wield the Recon by using the tactical rails on the slide to prime each blaster simultaneously. This drastically reduces rate of fire, though.

Because of this, it is usually disliked in modding communities. The 2008 version of the blaster notably has a shorter plunger tube, due to the 2008 product recall and redesign of the plunger.

The air restrictor (AR) slows down the flow of air from the plunger to the dart. This device serves to reduce the blaster's power and prevent the plunger from slamming into the plunger tubing at full speed, drastically reducing the noise generated during firing. Pry out the grey piece and its spring from the inside of the magazine release button, taking care not to let the spring fly away and get lost. This method is demonstrated in pictures two, three, and four. Keep these pieces, as they will need to be replaced. Step 1: Remove the bolt sled and plunger from the blaster. Unpin the plunger assembly from the bolt sled using a nail, small screwdriver, or punch. You can do this by inserting the nail, screwdriver, or punch into the hole that houses the retention pin and apply pressure. (Pic. 1-2) Removing air restrictors ("AR's") is a common modification for air-and-spring-powered Nerf blasters. We generally do not recommend removing the AR's, as the performance increase gained from such an undertaking is negligible at best, except in terms of projectile speed, which is nearly meaningless during a foam dart event. The primary reason to remove AR's would be if the user wished to shoot stefans out of their blaster, in which case the dart peg inside of the bolt would need to be removed.

Locate the area of the shell where the magazines are accepted. There are two intersecting planes of plastic that need to be cut down or removed. These areas are marked in picture three. Make sure the blaster is de-primed by pulling the trigger and pushing the priming slide all the way forward. Some of the first-generation versions of this blaster have issues with accepting 18-dart, "banana," and drum magazines. This problem stems from the shape of the plastic on the blaster shell, which makes the magazine well and surrounding area too small to fit the protruding portions of some magazine sizes. To fix this, we simply need to cut away a few pieces of plastic from both halves of the shell. Here's how: Remove the two screws in the top of the priming slide, as in picture five. Do not remove the slide pieces yet. NERF Official (2016-04-04). NERF - 'Modulus Recon MKII' Blaster Files: Inspiration (Video). YouTube.

If you have made it this far, congratulations! You have successfully modified your Nerf Modulus Recon MKII! You will now be able to enjoy being able to use any magazine you wish, and (provided you completed the AR and dead space modifications as well as a spring replacement), experience an increase in power as well. In 2019, the Recon MKII was re-released as the N-Strike Elite Recon CQ-12. This included new accessories and had a new, blue color scheme.
