Nerf Halo MA40 Assault Rifle mod - Motor/battery upgrade, voltmeter and Monster Energy coating
Here's a quick look at my latest isolation project: a modified Nerf MA40 Assault Rifle from Halo Infinite. The first thing you'll notice is the paint job which is heavily based on the Monster Energy promotional coating (https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/field/image/2020/10/halo-infinite-assault-rifle-adrenal-skin.png) It's not quite an exact match, I took some liberties to make the spray job much easier. Cos I'm lazy, deal with it. I might hand paint in some more green detail later. You'll also see the ammo counter now lights up in a matching green. I don't have 8.28 shots, that's actually a voltmeter. There are nerf MA40 mods with a working counter (btw that new Alien pulse rifle looks dope) but those were made by people much more competent than me. Plus the voltmeter does serve an important purpose... ... the battery upgrade! It now runs on a 2S LiPo battery. These things get a bit fiddly if kept at voltages too high or too low for too long, hence the voltmeter. This powers the two upgraded meishel motors, resulting in a good bit of power behind the shots for blatting my housemate when he comes home. The electric internals come from this kit (I'm from the UK, deal with it) https://www.uknerfwar.com/product-page/stryfe-starter-kit along with a couple of extras from that site to make the voltmeter work.
