Description My two modified Nerf Maverick's, Wrath, and the Reaver's Claw. I finally got the piece in to finish Wrath's top knife and so they are now complete. Unless of course I make more modifications to them.

The Reaver's Claw, the silver one, has a 6.5 inch blade inserted into the grip as well as four other blades and a top knife. It also incorporates 5 large dragon claw spikes and 6 small dragon claw spikes as well as 4 large square base cone spikes, most of the spikes are screw mounted into the gun with only two being glued on due to their positioning and the internal mechanics of the weapon. It is custom painted with chrome and metallic black spray over a black primer coat and all finishing touches were done with citadel paints. It also has a YinYang metal accent piece on one side of the cock.

Wrath, the bronze/black gun, also has a 6.5 inch blade coming out of the pommel, these blades came from a Kit Rae licensed piece called The Fang of Baelin. It also features a front mounted 8" to 10" double blade that I custom ground to fit into the gun, all of the blades are internally mounted around the mavericks own clip points, and are quite secure. It features a large serrated top knife mounted into a nerf sight body. It also features 5 large dragon claw spikes as well as two smaller ones. I added lots of aging and damage points to the body and custom painted with a metallic black and bronze as well as using quite alot of citadel paint for all of the accenting. The kill marks, scratches, and "Wrath" were cut into the body using a razor and drybrushed to stand out.

Both guns have had their barrel shields removed, as well as the air restrictors removed and all of the internal springs were strengthened. They are both fully operational.

Thanks for checking out my Maverick's and keep watching my next task is to try and incorporate a katana into the body of a longstrike.

I can only imagine the amount of fun derived from akimbo-ing these guns.
Did you decide one day "Hm, nerf is just too safe, so lets add sharp pointy stuff to it!"?
They look awesome.

Actually I just started modding the silver one, and after the paint job came out so well, I started looking around and realized I seriously have knives everywhere...so I just dismantled a couple of my favorite ones and added them to a $10.00 nerf gun between the two there is probably more than $200 worth of blades and spikes!!

Thank you!! I like them very much, even when people come and see all my swords and knives these two are the ones who garner the most attention

Wow, very good work!
Both look amazing, but if I had to chose one I'd take the left one.

Rathkeaux In reply to White-Apple [2011-05-20 23:31:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!! The left one is the first nerf mod gun that I did, the second was made to compliment it. The Right hand gun, Wrath, actually has more detail work and metalwork in it than the silver gun, The Reaver's Claw. The silver just came out so well on that gun and the flow of all the curving blades makes me like it a bit more aswell.

White-Apple In reply to Rathkeaux [2011-05-21 10:17:11 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!
The flow of The Reaver's Claw is why I prefer it over Wrath,too!

Rathkeaux In reply to White-Apple [2011-05-21 17:23:56 +0000 UTC]

Wrath is more of a sharp and angular gun, while still having some curves whereas everything on Reaver's just went together perfectly, plus of course there was the limitation of only having the knives that I had available.

I've seen many mods, mostly copper tubes, but never knives!! My mod style is just repaints. I don't have the skill set for the blade attachments.

I didn't know that I had the skill set to do it...till I did it. It really only took a dremel and a metal grinding wheel, and a lot of figuring out where to use each.
