Blaster Mod of the Week 25

The community on Blasted.de is the German speaking dartblaster community! In this series we’ll present a new awesome mod from the community once a week, every week.

This week’s mod could also be mod of the year this time!

Mod of the year 2013 to be precise! Since 2013 User Hoellenhamster has been building what are probably the most beautiful lever action rifles with exciting internals in the Blasted.de community.

It all started out of the desire to give a not very popular technology time another chance. He wanted to prove, the underlying technical modification can also be wrapped up in a visually appealing blaster and therefore even work for Germany’s picky LARPERs.

Techniques used back then have since become part of the standard repertoire of many nerfmodders and the Hoellenhamster’s mods have a special place in the hearts of many lovers of realistic looking blasters. And now, without further ado, here it is! Representing many others built by Hoellenhamster over the past few years, BuzzBee’s Rapid Fire Tek!

The Blaster’s internals have been improved and it is significantly longer at both the front and stock. The barrels have been completely replaced by plastic tubes, the stock is carved from Styrodur and is reinforced with filler. The shape of the cocking lever has been adapted to fit the shoulder rest. The paintjob was done with acrylic paint and an airbrush.

This mod is a true classic.

Modder to Modder

The Hoellenhamster lever action mods are masterpieces of craftsmanship. Each one is a bit different, as everything is made of pipe, plastic pieces and putty.

In contrast to the now widely used kits made of 3D printing or injection moulding, this mod is still from a time when there were hardly any of these out there. But there are some techniques which are still very relevant for modders up to today. For example how Hoellenhamster carved the stock from light Styrodur, wrapped it in tape to keep it from dissolving due to contact with glue and spray paint and then just covered it with a thin layer of putty to get a stable yet light stock. This is still an excellent take on custom build stocks or any larger body part really. It’s cost effective and especially so if you don’t own a 3D printer.

Built into the Rapid Fire Tek there is a RSCB, a magazine type where darts are stored behind oneanother. If you want the details on the build or techniques, join the community at blasted.de.

Blaster Mod of the Week

We will continually post a Mod of the Week from and would love your support. Maybe you’d contribute a few sentences for our Modder to Modder section if we present your mod, make suggestions which mod should be next or discuss, ask and help oneanother with tips and tricks around our favourite hobby.

The dartblaster featured in this blog entry, BuzzBee’s Rapid Fire Tek is sadly no longer available. BuzzBee offers a huge variety of unique blasters and they’re worth having a look at.
