Firing Demo: This project was even more work than the full-auto seer installation and rewire combined.  Given the complexity of the modifications required to get this working, I am not going to release an in-depth tutorial at this time.  If you want to try this modification for yourself, you are welcome to try it.  I will give a basic description of the steps I took to make this modification, and I will include the files I used to create this beast.  Beyond that, you will be on your own. First, some images of the blaster: Now, onto the very rough tutorial... The model files can be found here:   Drive First, disassemble the blaster.  Next, you will need to cut along the narrow crack molded into the receiver roughly along the lines shown in this image: Note that this includes cutting out a hole in the back of the stock.  This is necessary to fit the magazine in the blaster.  After that, you will need to cut out a rectangular section of the place where the magazine will feed into the blas
