Nerf Guns and the Modding Thereof

Well, after seeing a Nerf Maverick in Fred Meyer for only $8 ( :!: ), I decided to pick one up with about 10 extra sonic darts.
I bring it home, and get right to work, removing the restraints on the barrel of the Maverick. My final product:
Now, my next step is to increase the strength of the spring, but I don't know what spring to get. Any recommendations? Also, show off your mods/guns as well for bonus points.

The limiters are those three-pronged things with springs behind them.

~$30, and made by the same firm, even though it's sold under a different brand. Looks cool enough.
Nerf Order Form
You can get small darts, Nerf balls, large arrows, even replacement missles for the big Titan 3-in-1 monstrosity.
Man, that heli-cop-tor looks badass.
How high can you fly those things? I would like to put a little camera on it and fly it though traffic.
Assembling it, cocking it...Nerf has somehow managed to make a plastic gun that shoots foam darts badass in every way. I do not know how this was accomplished. I theorize it involved elven magic.
I have just seen a commercial for a new nerf gun.

Rapid fire.
I've seen some awesome mods to that thing done. Not much of a fan of pump-based ones, though. Too much down-time to pump them.
It's fucking rapid fire.
Maverick
Edit: Actually, the Maverick is semi-auto, I think (though I'm not sure). It's also only a six-dart clip. However, the Maverick is only $8 each, which means you can dual wield for less than the price of the Magstrike.
The Maverick is like a six shooter.
You have to cock it every time you want to fire.
Heh.
cock.
My friend has it, and it's awesome.
You just sold a nerf gun...and some spray paint.
Seriously though what kind of paint did you use and did you coat it with anything so as to not be that kind of awkward somewhat sticky texture that paint can be at times? Or maybe I just put too much paint on stuff...
And did you take it apart to paint it piece by piece?
Crush your enemies. See them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.
That'd be fucking badass.
I'm doing that to my mav, pronto. srsly.

*snicker*
One of my childhood dreams was that Nerf would start putting tiny sensors in their ammunition, and start selling "body armor" that would register the strength of a hit based on the signal and deduct "HP" accordingly.
Small darts would carry a small charge and thus require multiple hits to register a kill, but the huge rocket darts and grenades would let out a "pulse" once they connect that registers damage on anyone within a certain range. Hit someone in the chest and it's "goodnight Gracie," but being caught on the outside of the blast radius would do a lot less damage. Imagine being able to start mortaring your friends hiding in cover, or toss in a grenade to drive them out of a bunker.
Maybe my children will be lucky enough to live in such a world...
Pretty much just the first one in that strip on page 1.
I must do this.

huh, how'd you get the barrel to breech fully?
There's a tutorial somewhere on how to do it, but I didn't bother touching it. Basically, you open up the Maverick, and take out the barrel. There should be two tabs you need to remove, one on the barrel, and one on the gun itself:
I used a dremel to cut them out, re-assembled the gun, and shot my roommate. Much fun.
There's two plastic tabs that prevent the barrel from folding out completely. Open up the gun and cut them off, then reassemble the gun. Easiest thing in the world.

You shouldn't have said anything. :P
I need detailed instructions on how to make a perfect replica of that. stat.
muh.
Bah, no belt feed. What's the point of a machine gun if you only get 144 shots out of it?
