Mod Guide: Nerf MEGA Magnus (Comprehensive AR Removal, spring addition)

This is my comprehensive mod guide for the nerf MEGA Magnus, which is a sweet blaster. Its really easy to get some extra power out of it even without making any cuts or breaks to the rather locked down plunger assembly. Sorry for the video being so long, but I wanted the video to be all encompassing and I'd rather go long than leave out something helpful.

[@snorlax6691]

Drac, this is just to let you know that 9 years from when you posted this, this video is still extremely useful. Watching you remove that AR has shown me exactly what I need to do to do it myself if I decide to mod mine. Thanks for this!😁

[@TheCrazyjack28]

It's awesome to have you back Drac. We missed you.

[@Gillymonster18]

I come to this channel for the detail Drac goes into. This video is great and the engineers really outdid themselves with the compartmentalization and the less is more approach. Great job Drac :)

[@DoomerSong]

Thanks a lot! Thought I'd destroy my Magnus with an air restrictor that tough, but I've managed to remove it! Works like charm now. It was really helpful since my country sells a really weak version of Magnus (the gray trigger one) and AR removal was the only way to make the blaster shoot further than 7 meters.

[@captainbozo01]

I got a grey trigger magnus too but it performs pretty good (around 18-20 meters) :D

[@murrader9887]

Cool mod Drac. I'm glad your back. Can you do a rapidstrike mod guide next. -Death

[@legokid-_-6902]

I think nerf should bring back Dart tag and use blasters like this one and the rotofury and such and have mega dart tag

[@Blackpapalink]

So the moon rises in the sky. So the Drac comes back. The Darkness welcomes you Lord Drac.

[@LordDraconical]

Its good to be home, surely.

[@hamspam274]

clearly he's not your usual vampire..... He's a NERF Vampire meaning he's boss at nerf and he looks supa sweet

[@lordsokol790]

+LordDraconical instead of using a NiteFinder spring would it not be better to use a sharpfire spring?

[@torquaywingchun8844]

Very cool, I haven't seen that blaster in australia yet. My mind swims with possibility...

[@slizer_]

I bought one at an Aus K-mart earlier this week for $20.

[@torquaywingchun8844]

***** no points for guessing what i'm doing tonight then. I wonder if it will take a longstrike spring

[@extremepsykosis]

FYI... a dremel at walmart with a small accessory kit included is running around 20-25 dollars USD. Hope that helps.. :)

[@mainabo3]

You should mod it to accept nerf clips

[@childbaker68]

Mags

[@ethanmartinez490]

Mags idiot

[@AngelicScarrs]

Thank you very much, my cousin had been having heaps of trouble with this glad we finally got it fixed. :)

[@PhantomMonarch1]

I'm glad drac is back

[@UltimateDEADMAN25]

The vampire has risen, i remeber watching you a couple years i got out of nerf guns but i still love your videos

[@alisonexcell7022]

Same here!

[@slizer_]

They're called 'feed lips'. Also, great tutorial!

[@BakanoInuChan]

Nice mods you did there. Well I did a completely different mod on my Magnus. I modded it to have Slamfire, but I did no other mods on it. I just did it because I feel like no one other did this before :)

[@jonathanslving7462]

How did you do that?

[@BakanoInuChan]

+JonatEmma Sølving Just go to my youtube channel, I made a Video about it ;-) Basicly I just screwed in a screw at the right position :D

[@jonathanslving7462]

+Baka no Inu-Chan thanks man:D

[@Swedishnbkongu]

Why does hasbro try to make things harder for modders? It doesn't have any benefits, if somebody is going to mod they're going to mod, not like they're discouraging it.

[@MrAntimationStudios]

I think they are discouraging it, it even says on the blaster and in the manual "DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THE BLASTER".

[@torquaywingchun8844]

Antimation Studios and yet the disc launchers like the illumatron actually have additional points on the spring tensioner to increase the load... also lets be honest, these blasters aren't exactly "mod discouraging".

[@alisonexcell7022]

Exactly it doesn't help them at all!

[@MrAmpuja]

Antimation Studios Only due to legal issues.

[@MrAmpuja]

***** No. Hasbro wants sales. They have to have these barriers in place so they are allowed to sell blasters in the first place. It is not their liability to pay the costs of damage caused by said weapon.

[@AurionLooker]

Is it possible you could do a Sledgefire vid? I did a mod with my Barrel-Break where I took a Recon stock and integrated it into the handle, which turned quite well, actually. Afterwards, I started to realize that it was a little nice having just a shotgun-type blaster that wasn't stocked (if that's the correct term), and in your absence, I started to wander through other mod vids and found other peoples' take on the blaster. Plus, the Sledgefire doesn't really work well AT ALL unless you own recently new/ stronger darts, so a mod on how to make it better would be just, awesome. Thanks, and I actually may start the Magnus mod right now.

[@youtubeviewer3203]

good to see you back Drac.

[@tristondodson5855]

The lips that hold the darts in are usually referred to as mag lips. at least thats what i've always heard them called.

[@adwitatherealadwita]

I'm calling it, people are gonna come here when the Deadpool Kronos/Phantom Corps Kronos comes out to figure out how to mod it, or at least, until Drac makes a mod guide. I mean, that's why I'M here. After I'm done watching this I'll check out Mag212's Magnus mod guide, and if neither of them includes how to do a slam-fire mod, I'll see if I can find a slam-fire mod guide for the Magnus. Haven't finished this vid at the time of typing this comment.

[@warpighammer621]

Addition of second spring is very hard on integrity of blaster shell . Just my opinion.

[@diegomcminn9513]

Wow the Magnus plunger system is just like the tyrant

[@benjaminfitzsimmons280]

+LordDraconal you could put a tax rail on the side of the prime and put a foregrip to make it easier to prime

[@ronhorne4930]

Welcome back Drac!!

[@samandclarisfanpagee2418]

My first mod!

[@jimmegyesy7011]

did it successfully work ?

[@mrsqueakyvoice97]

Havent modded in a while, i might pick this up to get back into it

[@LightsaberPhoenix]

Can you do a centurion mod guide?

[@masonrozankowski4839]

Lightsaber Phoenix

[@DATTURTL3]

You can't mod it... Very hard

[@BBKZeke]

I like vids like this one keep it up Drac

[@D-DAY-oe8sw]

How do you fix the Magnus .

[@willosteel2k1]

Drac is Back! Also I live in Georgia too.

[@Bobololo]

You should come to NoMNE 4!

[@willosteel2k1]

IAmBobololo I'll try to

[@marianabraham5337]

What does NoMNE stand for?

[@Bobololo]

Marian Abraham NerfoMania's Nerfing Extravaganza

[@willosteel2k1]

Were it is taking place

[@ProvidenceSion]

That tile looks like the kind in my house.....are you sneaking into my house to mod nerf guns?

[@elidavis51]

Couldn't he have just unscrewed one of the metal screws on the plunger tube to help get the AR out? idk I'm new to modding.

[@encaged314]

I didn't notice any big change in the prime when I added a Stampede spring. Question. Where did you place the Nitefinder spring on the main spring(centered, towards the front, towards the back, etc)?

[@dankayur2910]

From what I saw, it looked very much like it was at the back.

[@christiannavarrete7]

This is the first yputuber that also lives in Georgia

[@TheVileBile]

I took it apart with it cocked with no darts and the trigger will not pull please help!

[@azilynx4589]

Best i've seen so far

[@snivybeatseverything]

stampede spring is a much better addition. its almost the exact length as a magnus spring.

[@CharleyGames]

I put a retaliator spring in mine and it works just fine

[@dwaynestanley1944]

easy to modd i cut the back off the plunger tube ,then remove the AR by dilling ,re-glue the tube back together,removed sum locks,, gets 75-80 feet ranges

[@toesucker68]

nice

[@richardjoyce1102]

So it's basically a huge mega jolt with a built in "clip"

[@Mildcat743]

The slide notches is absolutely nonessential. Mine snapped off on both sides and the screw at the front of the slide is more than sufficient

[@bipedalnarwhal277]

Ggggrryyyyaahhhhh!!! It's so old!

[@reddcube]

Looks like a pain to remove the air restrictor

[@DieselHaven]

Swizzle stick, my guy

[@Blade-pk5uo]

Mine broke during the mod but I'm getting a replacement called the long strike

[@nancycaho3887]

my magnus the first bullet goes to the left and the second bullet goes to the right and I don't use the third dart

[@ViperNine]

Halo drac. I just wondering if you know what i can do with a x-shot turbofire shell. Your an awesome modder so i ask you first

[@StyxDescension]

Looks very good!

[@asajones7887]

I tried to tap out the ar without taking anything off.. I broke it......

[@markgarcia6018]

YYYeeeaaahhh ur bback . great mods man

[@cashtonkapp1525]

I tried putting this hunk o junk back together it's too frustrating

[@V__Valentine_]

If you didn't add the extra spring, would the air still be enough if you only removed the AR?

[@craftminer2006]

Drac i used your maveric mod and it was my first mod sucess

[@raldogg515]

Couldn't you have done a penny mod like the maverick?

[@hoodedcreeper2465]

why not just take a dremel to the back where it prevents you from taking it completely apart and boar it out a little

[@michaelmartin8014]

they are called feed lips

[@depressedbreakfast2614]

I’d wanna modify it so it can take the centurion magazine

[@exotictoad]

your back :)

[@warpighammer3760]

Guys don’t expect to watch these videos and learn everything about modding. On all mod vids brought to my attention subtle details are left out that could can and have damaged blasters either intentional or not that is the way it is expect to disassemble and have around a sixty two seventy percent chance of reassembly correctly . This is not a cut down of any tuber or mod video people in the least . But I spend a lot of time fixing blasters that are broken because of incomplete tutorials. Like your blaster leave it be .

[@DashFlashTheLife]

Where do you buy your springs

[@chewyproductions2330]

glad it's worth getting!

[@MrMoron231]

I don't know if I should post this on one of your other Magnus videos but what if you took a normal 8 dart nerf clip and made that the internal clip and cover it with some kind of material and make it match up with the rest of the blaster so it's still a internal clip but you have a bigger clip and it would look nice with a little paint so it dosent look just like the material and more like the rest of the blaster also another thing that you could or more of should if you haven't already make en bloc clips for internalized blaster clips

[@MrMoron231]

Sorry I derped a bit but with the centurion clip you could add a extra bit to the back of it for a battery or something else

[@kr.5162]

Is there any possibility of me getting my finger chopped off by the slide?

[@dankayur2910]

No. You can't bring it forward with that kind of force by hand and the locks in the blaster prevent you from firing with it drawn back. So long as you leave those locks in, the blaster is perfectly safe.

[@makanidemoulin7591]

I just would like it to be more accurate, my darts nose dive like crazy or like taking super sharp turns at random.

[@trinityfamero5881]

Did he did a centurion mod?

[@grenadegaming2090]

2:24 Dang, Drac, those are some hairy legs😂😂😂😂😂

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

maybe he's part vampire part werewolf?

[@AllHawaiianboy]

Hey drac you think a home depot spring would work in this?

[@cassieangel8878]

Drac is Back! XD

[@Leelanidas]

What would you say the ranges were before and after the mods?

[@mrsqueakyvoice97]

Using a hammer on tile floor? I too like to live dangerously

[@nliuyin414]

Can u pls tell me what type of screw driver that is in the video

[@matoslav419]

Xuě hūa Piao piao

[@JohnDoe-su9jw]

[@patrickcurran8008]

drac hear me out how do I message you privately through KZbin I am interested in comitioning to you

[@alisonexcell7022]

Very helpful nice vid

[@alhutcheson418]

15:30 wow tired drac is tired

[@heroofgames9932]

quem esta assistindo e é br curti

[@useryoutube622]

Hey Drac, I need some help. When I went to fire my Magnus, I tried to prime it, but it got jammed and is stuck with the priming bar (the top of the blaster) backwards. Any ideas to unjam it? (Yes, I have tried the jam button, but it failed.

[@richardjoyce1102]

Did you try pulling it back as far as you can possibly get the slide to go

[@agentsam10]

Yay finally

[@TheTriforceCrusader]

Yeah, I don't like my Magnus. Looks too complicated to remove the AR, and it's not very good as a practical sidearm.

[@richardjoyce1102]

Just push in a piece of pvc to open the ARs

[@K1llerUn1corn12]

Is it possible to convert a Magnus to shoot elites?

[@briefsonicstar]

Yes.

[@marcomuia832]

ur colourblind?

[@caesar5775]

r u the guy from BCCtrolling/unstoppebleluck?????

[@lilfear]

where did you get the other spring?

[@tinhornname4117]

I want to make a pump action one...

[@prathamamlani8290]

I have it

[@PebelWasTaken]

clip mod ?

[@LordDraconical]

nope, at that point im making a recon, which seems like a step backward.

[@PebelWasTaken]

LordDraconical :(

[@SouthernBrisbaneNerf]

LordDraconical I love my Magnus with the integrated 6 dart clip in it (It was probably my video you saw) it's sorta like a Bolter pistol from Warhammer. I also did the Nite Finder/Stampede spring addition but have not problem with priming.

[@alisonexcell7022]

OMG Southern brisbane club I subed and love your vids keep it up!

[@bigge1495]

*magazine

[@juvamlimonnarcelles4804]

What color is the ar restrictor ???

[@DATTURTL3]

Orange

[@theuser8560]

Why is his floor round?

[@TopTechTD]

Brit The Awesome fish eye lens

[@Auden.]

does anyone know how to make this shoot elites and the internal mag still works and without modding darts

[@alphonsocruz2014]

Maybe some PVC? idk

[@JamakinMC_waffles_are_swag]

You can't

[@Auden.]

Jamakin MC yes you can, just replace the mad with elite mag

[@JamakinMC_waffles_are_swag]

Auden either way I'd just make it compatible with a Centurion mag for game types where Mega darts deal more damage

[@mr.joefran6369]

Where do you live

[@sierra_solutions.b17]

thx so much

[@nathanielheidemann3112]
