Disassembly

Runs you through the processing of pulling the Maverick apart in preparation for some modding. Just make sure you keep an eye on all the parts as some are easy to lose.

Assembly

If you're going to pull the Maverick apart, you better know how to put it back together. There's a couple of things to look out for but it's an easy process. This is where having all the parts comes in handy.

Laser Sight Mod

This tutorial shows how to install a laser sight using a laser pointer, AAA batteries with holder, wire and a switch. This is the most difficult of the mods however the result is pretty entertaining. If you're comfortable with soldering and a drill you can add a little more ease to your aiming.

Penny Mod

The penny mod involves adding a few coins behind the spring to increase your firepower. Although it's called the penny mod, a variety of coins will work. I've used Australian 5c pieces in this one.

Russian Roulette Mod

This mod allows the cylinder of the Maverick to release further from the gun so you can load it easier and spin the cylinder 'russian roulette' style. Basically involves cutting and sanding a few tabs preventing the release of the cylinder.

Air Restrictor Removal

Air restrictors are installed in the Maverick to limit the range. This guide shows how to disassemble the cylinder and remove these restrictors.

Slip Clutch / Reliability Mod

There's a clutch in the rotation assembly that will slip when too much resistance is met. This protects the internal parts and makes the Maverick more durable however it also causes the occasional misfire. Gluing this clutch will prevent misfires from occuring but you can't manually rotate the cylinder while it's not released or you risk breaking the join. If this occurs the blaster will return to normal operation and may misfire again. You would need to repeat the tutorial.
