N-Strike Elite 2013 - Rough Cut 2x4 Mod.

While the Rough Cut itself is a very fun weapon to use, it does have its limitations. Such limitations expressed by the community are:

• Uncomfortable grip/pumping handle
• Not easy to reload quickly 
• Unable to load streamlines*

I will be addressing this by a few mods, or enhancements. 

1) Adding dart storage barrels to each side of the Rough Cut.

2) Replacing Rough Cut's grip handle to Nerf Quick 16's grip handle.

You will need:
2x Sharp Shot (Dart Tag Series)
1x Quick 16 Foregrip (Dart Tag Series)
5x Screws

Goal: To make the blaster more 'user-friendly', as well as either a viable primary or a solid secondary.

*(NOTE: I will NOT be opening up the blaster and modding the internals, this has been covered in Coop772's Mod Guide here.)

I started by taking out Nerf's Sharp Shot's dart storage barrels.

Here is what it looks like. This were to be fitted on each side of the Rough Cut. 

I marked out the spots to drill the screws in to hold the barrels.

I used a Victorinox punch to dig a hole through the blaster. I find this was the easiest way to do so to fit a screw through it. 

Holes punched and ready.

I outfitted the barrels to each side of the gun, making a 6-dart storage, with 3 on each side.

Here is the final product! The grip handle was taken from a Quick 16 blaster, and the middle section was reinforced with a screw. The grip handle makes the Rough Cut easier to slam fire and more ergonomic as compared to the original. I have also added a Reflex Sight and a Carabiner for cosmetics.
