actually, the front end is perfectly fine as well as the nerf gun itself. There's room to modify the piping used for the barrels so they fit
on the end as an extention for the actual gun. I have to say, it doesn't work so well for actually firing the nerf bullets,though.
You can hear it "shoot" then watch them fall out like a rabbit taking a dainty crap.
But for a prop is sure is impressive for look, feel, weight, and sounds. ( some times sounds...)
