Customized Nerf Longstrike

Description

The theme at this year's RegnCon was "Western". Of course I needed a shotgun, which was covered by getting a Nerf Longstrike. Blue and orange, while striking, don't go with my usual black/red/silver colour scheme, so I disassembled the gun and painted it, as well as filing down the notches on the shoulder stock to make it removable. The Longstrike is huge and being able to break it down for ease of transport is nice. I filed down the notches on the cocking bolt for similar reasons. Specifically, I didn't have the proper tools to pop out the air restrictor, and will need to be able to open up the gun again with minimal fuss to do that.

I wanted to have metallic red on here, but could not find metallic red paint anywhere. Probably should have gone with a high gloss instead of the matte stuff I ended up with, but what the hell. I can always repaint it. The last thing I need is another hobby, but dammit, painting Nerf guns is fun!

Enjoy views of my wonderful kitchen floor. It was the most contrasty place available to me. Near everything I own that could have made a decent backdrop (clothing) is either black or red. (Open my closet and it's like BLAAAAACK with some red and a tiny bit of dark green.)
