Truth be told, it was a steal on Ebay a looong time ago and probably got picked up out of the back yard by some parent wanting to make a buck on a toy that their kid didn't play with anymore. Long story and speculation aside, my blaster is a cosmetically modified Hasbro blaster that has never made any noise or had any lighting effects whatsoever. I am tired of telling kids that I "never keep it loaded" and being asked why everyone else's blaster works, but not mine. I have decided to finally do something about it. So far, I have gutted it, sculpted a new muzzle piece and completely refitted it with new electronics. It makes 4 different sounds, has 4 red leds, a new firing stud, and a "rumble" motor, among other mods. I like 3 of the 4 sounds, which isn't bad considering that most of us dislike 50% of the two sounds our blasters make. (At least I only dislike 25%!) I am also not pleased with the firing stud/trigger, it ended up off-center and, being red looks funny. Once I get that reworked, I'll be addressing the scope for simulated nightvision and then reassembling and applying new paint. Here are a couple of pics for posterity sake.
Good luck on the upgrades!!!!! I don't remember where but there was a place that made un upgrade kit for hasbro blasters. Sorry I can't remember what it is. Whitearmor.com might have the info.
A bunch of people have bought the board kits and speakers that he has been using in his bucket. It worked out really well.
