[Unboxing] Nerf Modulus - Targeting Light Beam

This is my unboxing and impressions of the Nerf Modulus Targeting Light Beam. 

First of all, this is basically a modular version of the Firestrike light, though green as opposed to red. This also takes 3 triple a batteries where the Firestrike only needs 2. As with the Modulus Tactical Light, I bought this to modify it so it's stock performance wasn't that important. Saying that, it's very over priced for what it is. It is currently priced at $15CAD. You can buy legitimate laser pointers for less than that, in a smaller form factor (this attachment is relatively large). I wanted the stock look, so for me it was acceptable. I intend to install a laser module into the attachment, but still use the battery tray as well as the stock switch. 

To that point, my modification will be quite difficult due to the fact Hasbro has glued the shell together as opposed to mechanically fastening it. This won't stop me, but it will make it more of a hassle.

On to the unboxing; (As with the tactical light, I took these pictures with my phone hence the lighting).

[Unboxing] Nerf Modulus - Tactical Light

This is my simple unboxing and first impressions of the Nerf Modulus Tactical Light. First and foremost I bought this light with the intention of modifying it, so it's performance out of the box wasn't that important to me. Now even saying that, for the cost it's simply not worth it unless you want the Nerf 'look' like I did. At $15CAD, it's horribly overpriced. You can buy many much better flashlights online for a fraction of the cost. Though they won't come with the Nerf rail attachment, nor will they look 'factory'. 

The tactical light runs on 3 triple a batteries that are housed behind the panel with the Nerf logo. For my purposes that's perfect, as the 3watt LED I plan to install has a forward voltage of roughly 3.5-4V, The typical LED has a lower forward voltage, so I'm assuming that Hasbro has a limiting resistor in the light, and I will likely just re-use that. It would mean my 3watt LED is running under what brightness it's capable of, but it will also extend battery life and stay much cooler.

What I hadn't expected though was that Hasbro glued the light together. The only screw is for the battery door. This will make my modification to the light slightly more difficult, as I will have to cut/pry the shell apart (hopefully I will be able to preserve the shell).

Now, on to the unboxing; (The pictures taken were with my phone, hence the not so great quality).

[Disassembly] Nerf - Accustrike Falconfire

Today we're going to be looking at the Nerf Accustrike Falconfire. This is a single shot breech loaded pistol. Out of the packaging mine did not seem to be getting stellar performance. My old Nightfinder would shoot harder. I found out why, and you'll see in the pictures below.
