So Hasbro released a Flare Gun type blaster, but all it ended up being was a front-loader with extra steps. This kit aims to fix that and turn the SuperFlare into the break-action, shell-fed blaster it was always meant to be.
This kit is compatible with Flypoint Shells, and could probably be easily adapted to fit Spring Thunder shells if desired.
Info on installation below.
NOTE: This kit/mod WILL require you to cut the existing barrel down quite a bit, so obviously it isn't totally reversible.

INSTALLATION:
Items you will need:
- Tools for removing a blaster's AR (Needlenose Pliers etc)
- Cutting implement for cutting down the original barrel (Hacksaw etc)
- One 1/2" ID, 5/8" OD, 1/16" Width O-ring
1. Remove the blaster's AR. Ideally, you will want a clean removal, and there should be a clear lip remaining inside the back of the barrel.
2. Disassemble the blaster.
3. Cut down the barrel to match the photo above. You can be off by a little bit. Test the length by inserting the Flow Adapter. It should "bottom out" on the lip inside the barrel, not the cap of the Adapter hitting the end of the barrel.
4. Insert the O-ring into the Adaptor's circular groove. It will be a tight fit, which is good.
5. Wrap the Adaptor in Teflon Tape and insert it into the barrel. It should be a very snug fit. Test the seal if you don't know if you've wrapped enough Teflon.
6. Slide the new Barrel down into the break-action section of the blaster. The various lips and wings will require you to turn the barrel as you insert it. It should fit snugly. The rear wings of the barrel should rest horizontally and keep the Barrel from moving. The front lips should interface with the faux barrel.
7. If you printed it, slip the shell-holder over the front of the break-action section so that the flat ridges rest inside the rear two grooves of the "rail".
8. Done!
