Unity Power System Mods

Visually speaking, the Nerf Unity Power System is one of the most unique and appealing guns the company currently makes, so it should come as no surprise that a lot of the most popular mods for the gun are aesthetic. In particular, the gun lends itself very well to custom paint jobs and a quick Google search will turn up nearly as many Steampunk mods as the Maverick receives.

The Unity Power System is really a bizarre piece in the Nerf lineup. Introduced back in 2004, the "Super Soldier in a Box" set comes with a Titan assault weapon, a Hornet for backup and a Scout IX-3 Blaster. The three pieces all snap together with the Titan on top, the Hornet below that and the Scout attached to the side. It sounds unwieldy, but once you get a feel for it, it actually feels quite comfortable in your hands and it's nice having everything in one place when you need them.

This unique piece-together design is exactly what makes the system a little tricky to mod. A simple paint job, if you're not careful, can gum up the parts and prevent them from snapping together perfectly and jam up the chambers. Rather than taking a can of spray paint to the thing, you may want to take your time with a roll of masking tape and a set of acrylic paints and brushes to keep from clogging the insides up with gummy spray paint drippings.

As for performance mods, some people have gone as far as to connect the Titan to an air compressor, which is great if you want to turn it into a weapon that's illegal to own in most states, but if you just want to improve the range a little without going to jail, you'll want to remove the air-limiter that Nerf puts in their guns to keep them from being too potent. At this point, your warranty is void and you can't go threatening a lawsuit if you break a window with it, but it's a quick and relatively easy way to get a little more range if you're capable with a screwdriver.

If you want to improve range by modifying the inside of the gun, you may want to invest in some plastic sealant, as the guns don't always retain their seal after you modify their air chambers.
