Nerf Rival Pathfinder XXII-1200 Short Magazine

Half sized magazine - looks and feels less awkward than the stock mag.

Dual mag. attachment included.

PRINTING:

• Recommended to print with PETG or ABS for impact resistance
• Does not require supports if printed as oriented in file
• Requires good bed adhesion - consider adding a brim
  • Bedslingers may have troubles with the magazine wobbling during print
• STL files included in .Zip file

ASSEMBLY - Magazine
Diagram reference below - See parts list for hardware

1. Print magazine parts ( double for dual mag. setup )
   • (1x) Ball Tab
   • (1x) Lifter
   • (1x) Short Mag. Top
   • (1x) Short Mag. Bottom
2. Insert long compression spring into Short Mag. Bottom
   • The stock magazine can be disassembled to repurpose the springs
     • Remove the long compression spring and cut in half - use one half the cut spring per short mag.
     • Remove the small spring at the top of the magazine and save for step 4
3. Insert the lifter into the Short Mag. Bottom - set aside for now.
4. Locate the Ball Tab part - Insert a pen spring into the small pocket on the back or use the spring salvaged from the stock magazine
   • Pen spring should be about 0.5" [12.7mm] long
5. Slide the Ball Tab into the slot in the Short Mag. Top part
   • Fit the spring sticking out of the Ball Tab into the pocket on the back wall of the Short Mag. Top part
6. Attach the assembly you just created to the top of the Short Mag. Bottom part using (2x) M3 x 8mm socket cap screws
   • This can be a bit tricky - it helps to have the screws partly screwed into the Short Mag. Top beforehand

ASSEMBLY - Dual Mag. Attachment

1. Print dual mag parts
   • (1x) Dual Mag. Attachment Front
   • (1x) Dual Mag. Attachment Rear
2. Fasten both halves together above the 3rd rib from the bottom of the magazines ( see image below )
   • Use (2x) M3 x 6mm socket cap screws & (2x) jam nuts
   • Make sure to align the ribs on the magazines to the ones on the dual mag. clip

TROUBLESHOOTING:

• Last 1 or 2 Balls Get Stuck / Jammed
  1. Compression spring inside magazine may not be strong / long enough
     • Consider upgrading to a thicker gauge or cutting a longer length
  2. Spring for the ball tab may be too strong
     • Consider using a smaller gauge or cutting a shorter length
• Magazine Does Not Clip into Blaster Reliably
  Usually giving the bottom of the mag. a light bump / smack towards the chamber is enough to engage the magazine release
  1. Spring for the ball tab may be too strong
     • Consider using a smaller gauge or cutting a shorter length
  2. There may be to much resistance between the ball tab and the slot it moves within
     • Consider sanding the channel slightly to smooth out the layers and open the slot
• Balls Fall Out of Magazine Easily
  1. Spring for the ball tab may be too weak
     • Consider using a larger gauge or cutting a longer length
  2. There may be to much resistance between the ball tab and the slot it moves within
     • Consider sanding the channel slightly to smooth out the layers and open the slot
  3. Compression spring inside magazine may be too strong
     • Consider reducing to a smaller gauge
