How to Remove a Nerf Longshot Bolt

Nerf weapons fire foam projectiles designed to avoid injury in mock battles between children or enthusiasts. Enthusiasts often take these weapons to the next level, modifying the basic design and functional parts for increased range, capacity, or even to fire custom projectiles. Many common modifications to the popular Nerf N-Strike Longshot weapon require removing the bolt from the inner workings of the gun. The bolt may also need removal and replacement if it becomes damaged over the normal course of play.

Things You'll Need

Size 1 or 2 Phillips screwdriver
Small metal punch or awl

Instructions

- 1
  Unscrew the 21 retaining screws found along the barrel and grip of the Longshot. The screws are placed approximately 1 inch apart and are visible when holding the Nerf gun.
- 2
  Remove the stock screws. There are seven screws in the shoulder stock of the weapon, placed approximately 1/2 inch from each other.
- 3
  Carefully pull the cover from the Longshot. Don̵7;t allow the edge of the plastic sides to scrape against the inner mechanisms, because this can damage your gun.
- 4
  Pull out the bolt assembly. The assembly is located immediately above the Longshot's grip.
- 5
  Use your metal punch or awl to push out the retaining pin at the top of the assembly. This frees the bolt from the rest of the assembly, allowing you to modify or replace the bolt as needed.
