The next part of this modification follow the same steps as the Air Tight Plunger Mod described above. Remove the piston from the blaster and create a better seal on the plunger with a thin tape lining under the O ring. To start this method of making the SuperJolt, all you need to do is grab the dart post with your pliers and twist! The dart post should break off fairly easily. Next, you take your screwdriver and place the tip of it down the barrel against the air restrictor. Break the air restrictor off with a few good taps and shake any extra pieces out of the barrel.

The Jolt has had many re-releases with alternate color schemes. It has also been used as the basis for other blasters, which are often referred to in the community as "Jolt re-shells". Surprisingly, second place for the range assessment was given to the Nerf Rival Roundhouse XX-1500 Blaster— the model that uses foam balls as a projectile rather than darts. The furthest ball we recorded traveled a distance of 88 feet. It's even more impressive that this is a manually powered toy blaster that is not that hard to set. The Roundhouse gets the thumbs up from the GearLab crew. However, because of this blaster’s smaller size and the challenges the Nerf Jolt poses in modifications it is very popular for Nerfer’s to try to conquer the Nerf Jolt by creating successful mods.

To give your Nerf Jolt more power you will need to seal off the plunger. This can be done by removing the plunger system and either adding a thin layer of electrical tape under the current sealing ring or by purchasing a heavier duty sealing ring.

The meme, originating from YouTube videos and comments, makes absurdist claims about any and all blasters being a "Jolt re-skin", no matter their priming or loading mechanisms. When conquering the Nerf Jolt, it is best to start off with something easy but still effective. The SuperJolt Mod is perhaps the most popular modification for the Nerf Jolt and there are several different methods of execution.

After reassembling your Nerf Jolt, you can add even more power to your blaster with a simple and creative mod. While changing the spring already gives the blaster extra power, you can further this increase with the Rubber Band mod! Once the dart post is out, reach further down the barrel with a screwdriver (or pliers) and take out the air restrictor. There are several different versions of the Nerf N-Strike Elite Jolt but all have nearly identical inner workings Finding the correct size of sealing ring for your Nerf Jolt might prove to be rather difficult; however, creating another layer of seal with the electrical tape is effective, easy to do, and not as costly. Due to the simplistic nature of the Jolt, there is little room for modifications. Because of this, as well as its size, it can be a good candidate for blaster integrations.However, because the Nerf Jolt is only a toy the seal on the plunger which prevents air from escaping out of the chamber when the trigger is pulled is not completely air tight. As the air escapes out of the chamber, most of your power to propel darts over a further distance disappears too! To ensure no pieces are lost from the base plate fling off, remove the last screw slowly while applying pressure to the base. Once the screw is removed slowly decrease the pressure until the plunger system is no longer pushing against the base plate. Tactical Jolt The majority of the blaster is one solid piece of plastic, rather than two separate halves attached together with screws or tabs. The only separate pieces are the trigger mechanisms, the plunger, and a plate from which the plunger rod projects from.

Because there is not much you can do inside your Nerf Jolt to improve its performance, you will need to optimize the exterior of the blaster instead. However, due to the smaller size of the Nerf Jolt there was not room for any tactical rail or attachment spots.

Because of this blaster’s petite size modifying the blaster might prove to be difficult. When modifying blasters as small as the Nerf Jolt, you risk damaging the blaster and its internal workings. The simplest method for this mod takes only a matter of minutes and only requires a screwdriver and some needle nose pliers. Of note, models based on the original version of the Jolt has a screw in the plunger tube; later revisions, starting with the 2013 blue Jolt, use a nail instead. This creative mod is completed by hooking a rubber band on the top of the blaster down to the plunger. When the trigger is pulled, the blaster will now have more force propelling darts forward. If the spring upgrade mod is not a feasible option at the moment, then this mod is another suitable choice to improve your blaster’s power. You can further increase the power of your blaster by doing a simple spring upgrade in the piston. Get your Nerf Jolt Spring Upgrade here!
