    The point of the front pins are for a spring swap with only three screws: the two pins and one screw in the top vents. It's actually shown with three little screwdriver decals right next to the needed screws. You can pull the barrel and the mainspring without a full takedown that way.

      Its going to be even faster when I finish sourcing the right size thumbscrews and heat inserts for the takedown pins for my mod vid. But now that I have seen dracs I may need to add that bigger thumb release from foam pro shop to the already extensive list of things I am doing to it haha

    Those take down pins are so you can change the spring without taking the blaster apart. If you look through the top where the priming rod connects to the white piece inside the blaster there is a screw you can undo through the cut out of the shell. So, if you remove those front pins, pull out the front orange piece undo that screw, then the white piece comes out the front of the blaster with the spring so you can change it as well as the barrel without having to take the whole thing apart

    Does this kit have any effect on the blaster's flex? I've seen reviews where they say that the plastic is kinda soft, and that's been the thing that's kept me from picking one up.

    • @FurballMK3
      @FurballMK3 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      The blaster doesn't flex during priming. When the blaster is in two halves, the shell pieces feel thin, but all buttoned up it has no issues.

    • @dangermaus9253
      @dangermaus9253 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@FurballMK3 The priming bar does flex and adding more spring weight increases the friction induced by that flex in the same way that it does on the NP it just has less contact area on the shell so it's not as much of a problem.

    • @FurballMK3
      @FurballMK3 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@dangermaus9253 When you say priming bar do you mean the pump sled? The X Shot Longshot doesn't have a weight bearing internal linkage that really fits the definition of "priming bar". The pump sled rides along the stiff core of the aluminum barrel, and directly compresses the spring until catching on the entire plunger assembly (catch is well reinforced) within the plunger tube. The entire assembly is pulled forward toward the front of the blaster, and stays as a solid, compressed assembly until the trigger is pulled and the plunger released rearward into the plunger tube.
      The design of the pump sled, utilizing the rigidity of the barrel as a core, is inherently stiff and doesn't suffer much deflection even with an increased spring load. One could intentionally increase deflection by only gripping the very tip of the stock angled pump grip, but this would be unnatural, and still somewhat mitigated by the roller bearing inside the grip that runs along the base of the blaster. If worry about flex within the pump assembly still remains, a grip like the one shown by Drac in the video would absolutely minimize any flex imparted by leverage from the grip itself.

  • @AllinWhenPlaying
    @AllinWhenPlaying 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've modded mine and I have no idea what is going on there, but it shoots great (and over 230FPS) 8 shots out of 10. Seal is almost perfect, no snags, Kuryaka barrel 50cm (and 46cm option), K25 spring BUT like 2 of every 10 shots "farts out" of the barrel, then back to a "regular" 70-90 meters flat trajectory, and very accurate one at that.
    Anyone able to offer feedback? I'm at a complete loss here - I'm using Zuru short darts as in UK we don't have anything else on easy access. (btw full length ones spin and tumble a lot on this setup)

    • @dangermaus9253
      @dangermaus9253 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It may be vacuum loading? You could try notching the pusher or putting a hole in the PT just in front of the plunger heads primed position. I'd opt for the pusher notch if the PT is weak. I would also surmise both barrels are too long for the plunger volume but couldn't be certain.

    • @FurballMK3
      @FurballMK3 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @AllinWhenPlaying, do you have the same "falling out" issue using the shorter of the barrels? I have a 45cm Kury barrel in mine and very tight PT seals, and do not have this problem.

    • @AllinWhenPlaying
      @AllinWhenPlaying 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@dangermaus9253 I was wondering about the barrel myself but most shots are consistently incredible. Plunger should produce roughly the same force each time, so no reason why the barrels would cause just 20% of shots to be SO MUCH worse, we're talking half the range.
      Vacuum loading is a very probable cause, I think.

    • @AllinWhenPlaying
      @AllinWhenPlaying 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@FurballMK3 No, both barrels behave exactly the same, which is odd, but would make the pressure related parts be a potential reason. My seal is almost perfect but not too tight, otherwise all shots would be bad I think, and even if, not by a half-range distance.
      I'm blaming the darts for the moment as this seems to be the only random thing. Spring theoretically could be snagging somewhere random - depending on it's rotation on the barrel's axis, but I haven;t noticed any unpleasant sound in release/prime (apart from the regular one due to the solution in this system plunger dampening).

    Highly recommend taping the barrel holding part since that part likes to crack when the barrel doesn’t fit snug or too snug.
