I'm not sure you could get it back on if you took it off...

Yes you can take the bipod off.
To do it you have to take all the screws out of the body of the gun and split it in half.
Inside you will have access to the screws that hold the bipod on.
One screw per leg....hmm not so sure that sounds right.

I can't get the darn orange cocking handle off, any suggestions?

Heh... good luck. Sheer brute strength.

I really shouldn't have put it on in the first place, doh!

I've never tried to remove it, but I figure strong pliers might work.

Yeah I left the cocking handle off mine- didn't care for how it looked.

I still have to weather mine, but before I do... I'm going to attach this little baby (courtesy of a certain Resin God) to the main muzzle:






Wadda ya think? Will it look a bit Morita-ish?

You stole my idea! Curses, foiled again.

You really did use the same idea I had.

Great stuff you guys!

So how many more of us are building these things?!? And here I thought I was the only one.

Well, at least my flash muzzle won't get it confused with a Morita.

Uhm... Rex? I'm not sure how safe it would be to use a "muzzle flash" on a plastic gun because of the flame and heat it emits. However, simply using the flash muzzle should be just fine.

Do what they did in SST2 man, use LED's. Hyperdyne makes a kit.

So... I just bought one of these... and I have no idea how to paint it, though threads like this are helping a great deal.

What have people found to be the best brand paint to use on it?

What are you having trouble with ?
I'm sure I can help you out.
I used krylon paints on mine.
Before you pint make sure you give the entire surface of the gun a light sanding with some 220 sandpaper, the wash it down with hot soapy water.
then prime.

Indeed.

Especially make the effort to sand off the "Nerf Longshot" and "N-Strike" symbols. It look ridiculous with them simply painted over.

Still have to decide what colour scheme I want to have with mine. It's totally flat black right now (Krylon Ultra Flat Black).

I was thinking of having it sooooo weathered that it would look more silver than black (like a T2 Plasma rifle), however if I add the M60 flash suppressor I figure I have to give it a greyish Morita paint job.

Decisions... Decisions.

I would simply used GUN METAL Paint Tamya spray like and the Brown for pads or grips (wheathering could be made with a first primer of steel color like
(rumor that Krylon won't be avaible in Europe growing whereas Krylon USA still claimed to product it)

I used Krylon Fusion Ultra Flat Black. Gives it a "parkerized" look as well.

But as Kevin mentioned, sand off all logos!! I also puttied the screw holes...

yeah Krylon fusion for the base coat to prime it.

I also use Krylon camo colors over that.

Not to sound totally naive, here, but... where can Krylon paints be purchased?

Walmart and most hardware stores I believe.

Or am I thinking of the other paint beginning with K?

No Tony, you've got it right. The Krylon Fusion Ultra Flat Black are the "camo" part of the Krylon line.

Yeah Wally World has them. I think Kmart has Krylon Fusion too.

And no sign of them here in the UK!

-Edit-
Just saw mention of other UKers suffering the same problem, and the ripoff solution. FIFTY BLEEDIN' QUID? That's the exchange rate in reverse, isn't it?
I think they must have a pretty shrewd idea that they're the sole supplier...
