I love this thread. I've posted a handful of my work here as well, but THIS time, I'm posting an unfinished project, because I'm NEVER going to finish it. However, I think the talented people of this forum might be inclined to pick up where I left off. So here is an unfinished HALO plasma pistol laser tag gun that I was converting into a NERF gun by taking the shooting component of the NERF Switch Shot (the one where the pistol grip component of the gun can be used as part of a Wii controller), and fitting it inside the frame of the plasma pistol (this is one of the second generation plasma pistol laser tag guns that was sold in pairs, and not the larger 1:1 scale plasma pistol that was sold as a single). This project is FREE to the first interested party, but I'm going to ask you to pay for shipping to wherever you want it sent. My zip code is 92780, and you can message me here so we can arrange the paypal details.
Here are some pics;

All of the original components of the plasma pistol are included (I had planned to just reinstall the electronics purely for the sound effects). However, the laser tag target sensor is long gone (and it wasn't even compatible with other laser tag toys). I had managed to get the shooting mechanism to loosely fit into the plasma pistol's frame, but I didn't bother to secure it or to continue with making a custom trigger mechanism (my guess is that I would have had to custom machine something, and attach it to the inside of the frame with some small machine screws). Since the Switch Shot mechanism is short compared to the plasma pistol, I recommend installing a brass barrel to come out just at the end of the plasma pistol's "muzzle".
I know that BoomCo is currently making HALO dart blasters (including the plasma pistol), but they are a bit small, and you can't use regular NERF darts because the BoomCo stuff use their own type of ammo. As for why I'm not finishing it? There's only just so many hours I can devote to "projects", and recently, I'm spending more and more time on my mountain of unfinished wargaming miniatures.
So, who wants it?
