Alright, if you ever read the Chat-Box then you would know that I bought a Firefly for 1.04$ on eBay. I thought it broke when I modded it so I
emailed Hasbro and they sent me a new one. I started to poke around inside and figured what the problem was. I fixed the Firefly and now have a second one on the way. I am very happy
. Also, thanks to Renegade for his NH mod that helped me get started.
Step 1) Unscrew it. The back end of the gun seems to be glued on. Just keep pulling and it should pop off. Internals:
Step 2) Unscrew the plunger and take it out. There are two screws. I wouldn't recommend loosing them.
Step 3) Put the plunger aside. There is a little yellow or blue thing with a spring behind it. DON'T LOOSE IT. I forgot to put mine in and it didn't work. Unscrew the barrel turning mechanism and the barrels should come out with it. You may need to unscrew a few things around it to wiggle it out.
Here is the barrel with the orange piece.
Step 4) Go to the top of the barrel rotator and there should be a screw inside. Unscrew that. It was VERY hard for me to get out. Don't strip it or you may be screwed. There is where the screw is.
Step 5) After taking the rotator off. You should be left with a triangle of screws and a red cap thing. Unscrew the triangle of screws and here is what it should be like.
Step 6) Turn the barrel over and there is another triangle of screws. Unscrew those.
Step 7) Turn the barrel over one more time and pry the white cap off. Flat head screwdrivers are good for the job. Don't crack it though. It was pretty hard to get off but just keep working around it.
This is what it should look like after.
Step
The air restrictors and springs should fall out. Look at those nasty buggers. I got mad when my first FF didn't work and they lost the fight against a hammer.
Step 9) Take something and jam the barrel posts out. You can either throw them away or just just the post off. I threw mine away.
Step 10) Put everything back together. There is a shinny piece that slides into the middle of the barrels. All you need to do is slide it into the middle of the barrel and make sure the cap lines up with the screw holes.
***
Make sure that the important piece inside the plunger isn't jammed inside. There is a flat part on the yellow or blue piece that should line up with a flat part on the plunger. It should slightly pop out of the plunger and rest against the barrel.***ALL DONE! I like this gun better than the Maverick just because it gets better range and has 2 more shots. It is bulky and expensive for a side arm but thanks to eBay, I paid only 5$ total for the gun.

Not sure what happened to darts 5 and 6 but it seems pretty decent. I like the feel and look of the gun. The light is pretty blinding at close range so its fun to blind people.
If you want me to, I can resize the pictures but I think you need to look closely to see all the screws and stuff.
