Adventure Force Liberator Reloadable Magazine Mod

Adventure Force Liberator Nerf Blaster Reloadable Magazine Mod/Fix The Adventure Force Liberator is a Nerf blaster with pump action shotgun ergonomics, featuring a 10-round internal tube magazine under the barrel. This design makes it perfect for a Humans vs Zombies game. However, the magazine has a critical flaw in its stock form. It cannot be reloaded from top when rounds are already loaded. You cannot add new rounds to the magazine if there are existing ones inside. This Mod Fixes that problem! The issue is with the magazine's 'Feed Ramp' - a hinged flap at the mouth of the magazine that hinges out of the way when loading and then springs back down to cover the loading door, allowing rounds to feed from mag to breech. The problem arises when existing rounds block the feed ramp from opening back up. To repair this flaw, we will shorten the Feed Ramp to add clearance and add a 3D Printed Part to the inside of the loading door - 'Door Tooth'. The Door Tooth is designed to push existing rounds away from the Feed Ramp as the door is opened, allowing it to freely hinge and enable Top-Off Reloading. Captioned Photos are included to illustrate the modified parts. Full blaster disassembly and reassembly will be required; familiarity with that process is left up to the end user. I apologize for unclear instructions. I'm better at doing things than explaining them. Feel free to ask questions in comments. Important Usage Tip: Manually slide the loading door closed by hand before pumping forward. The Liberator can dry-fire or jam if the pump is slid forward over an open door. Explanation: When the door is open, there is no path between the magazine and breech for rounds to travel. Pumping forward closes the breech. If you pump forward before closing the door, rounds won't be able to chamber properly and you'll get a dry-fire or jam. Close the door first. UPDATE 11/11/2019: Serrations have been added to the Door Tooth to more reliably grip rounds.
