We're starting out with your baisc Nerf Stampede.  We purchased this one from Amazon for $41.00.  Also, look at that guys face, he's ready for some zombie hunting action.

For those of you who think this guide is just for men, take a look at how excited this girl is to mod her stampede!

Tools required:

Hammer

Plier/Wire cutter

Screwdrivers

Parts required

See this post for required parts and where to buy them!

You'll want to take out the basic gun and don't worry about all the extra crap like the blast shield.  You're killing Zombies; Zombies don't have guns (well expect for the sweet ones). There are a total of 37 screws on the outside case of this gun. 22 large, 11 medium, and 4 small. Prepare yourself for some blisters.

When you take apart your gun be careful not to break this wire!

 You'll see the covers that hold the action in place shown here.

Remove the covers by taking off the screws pictured here.  Note the sizes

Here's the Spring clip fully removed

You can now remove the action completely so we can remove the air restrictor

Remove the return spring by rotating it.  We're not replacing this spring.

Remove the two screws on the left and right to release the cover attached to the plunger case.

Once the cover is removed, pull out the spring.

This is the spring we're removing.

Once the spring is out replace it with the newly purchase 11.2 kg spring shown. It is slightly smaller than the original but will work just fine.

Attach a felt pad to the end of the plunger. We actually used 4 felt pads stacked on top of each other. This helps soften the blow of the plunger on the end of the camber since we're going to remove the air restictor.

Remove the two pieces so we have just the main tube

Looking down the tube you can see the air restrictor.  We want to open this this up to allow the most air to push your dart out.


Use a hammer + long screwdriver or any long object and punch out the plastic.  It's pretty rought, but don't hit it to hard.  The more you remove, the better.

When finished it should look something like this.

Re-assemble, make sure the white hook is facing the correct direction.  If you have some silicon lube, go ahead and put some on the moving parts (not required).

 

Now we need to mod the return spring (or else you gun will jam and ghost fire)  This isn't 100% required but is highly recommended.  A jammed nerf gun with your stupid teammate alerting the horde is not a good thing.

Remove the following screws to get to the spring.

Take the parts out and you'll see the small return spring.

Replace with the bigger return spring and re-install.
