Longshot Modded

General
Okay, someone on https://www.nerfhq.com modded his Longshot, and with a procedure to follow I repeated his work with mine.
The air restrictor is a monster, and requires some dremel work to get out of the plunger. Once out though, the mod's straightforward. Take apart a Big Bad Bow and add its spring to the one on the Longshot's plunger.
Add two o-rings to the plunger head with its original o-ring, to help seat that ring more firmly in place.
Reassemble the gun, load a clip, and watch it fire darts 60 feet or more. It's quite a bit harder to cock, feeling more like a crossbow than a rifle now. I'll try and get ranges measured tomorrow. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. More power...

I've lost a couple of darts though ;..;
I have to commission you for modding and painting a nerf gun for me sometime <.<
Anyway way, I certainly would like to also try this procedure. I'm still having fun with all the things I can do with my Mavericks.
