Nerf Rival Hera Muzzle

thingiverse

I really like the Rival line of guns from Nerf. The sub-series of Phantom Corps are just awesome and the [Nerf Rival Phantom Corp Hera](https://amzn.to/2FtaNzP) is beautiful and awesome out of the box. But there's always room for improvement. Originally, my plan was to replace all the orange parts with black or white 3D printed parts. However, after seeing how complex some of these parts would be to model (remember, I'm lazy) I realized just replacing the muzzle and front-sight would mean everything orange is a human-interface point. Everything that is orange is a switch or button that does something. Hey that's kinda neat. I really love how this turned out. I think the Hera with these mods look like a P90 that fires shotgun shells. A breaching P90. The muzzle in the photo was modified to hold the sensor and emitter for an [AmmoCounter](https://ammocounter.com/) but alas, I could not get the IR sensor to work. I can't keep projects in the air for too long or else they just never get completed so I opted to use a momentary switch on the trigger to get the ammo counter working. The Hera is semi-automatic anyway so one trigger pull should (barring any misfires) mean one shot fired. I thought the stock part's approach to the lower part of the front gun was uninspired, just flat surfaces with holes. I turned this area into a spot for a laser sight or flashlight. Since I already have a switch wired to the trigger, I'm thinking about putting a strobe light into this spot so I get muzzle flash for that intimidation factor. # Steps Just print the parts, finish as desired, and replace the stock ones! # Other Mods [Sling Attachment Point](/thing:3356438) [AmmoCounter Housing](/thing:3357104) (btw, That's an affiliate link up there.
