I finally started digging into the Super Soaker shell at a quick Mod Night a few friends and I threw together. After examining the lens built by LazerBait and doing some test fitting of the shroud, I determined that the most accurate and effective way to mount the lens would be from deep inside the blaster utilizing the Super Soaker's mounting point for the tail end of the spinning barrel it used to have. I cleared out the rest of the internal structure to make room for the lens and used the metal LED mount to attach to a piece of plastic I cut to fit between both posts. It's a super solid connection and it should make adding a sight really easy to zero and adjust.
I also started work on mounting the sensor dome. Unlike the LTX DMR, this sensor will be centered and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to mount it. Currently I just have a big hole in the top of the blaster that is roughly the right diameter for the sensor dome, but I'm thinking of using some of the original housing to make a more secure fit for it. If I use the two halves, it'll also be easier to separate the blaster from a construction standpoint, so I'm really leaning towards doing this. The main problem this poses is that the parts to house the sensor dome are wider than the space I currently have. I'll need to make some alterations to the shell around it to accommodate that, but it's still doable.
Below is a video that'll explain the mods a little easier. Progress is really moving forward rather quickly, so I'm hoping to ride this momentum through to get a completion date in soon!The first Update can be found here: LTX EF5 Update #1
