Tutorial on the dis-assembly of the Nerf Nite Finder pistol
The Nerf gun used is the Nerf Nite Finder, which can be found here: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11107429&CAWELAID=871171721&pla=plat&cagpspn=pla, for $7.99

Dis-assembly

 * Step 1. Unscrew the plate from the bottom of the grip of your Nerf gun, and take the cover off.




 * Step 2. Remove all of the external screws on the gun, and place them in a safe place. I used a magnet to hold mine, and it was also handy for removing the screws from the holes.




 * Step 3. Lift the top half of the shell from gun and place it aside.




 * Step 4. To remove the targeting flashlight, you need to unscrew two screws on the light, one screw on the micro switch, and the lift the battery leads out of there respective slots. I used a flat-head screwdriver to do this.




 * This concludes the dis-assembly of all of the unneeded parts.

What to remove
In the dis-assembly portion, you removed the flashlight from the pistol. The whole bottom half of the gun should now be empty. This is all wasted space and weight on the gun. This can all be removed from below the screw holes under the barrel. The screw holes and posts are still needed to hold the gun together, but the grip and flashlight holders can all go.
