Allright, first write up. Here we go.

The Longshot Front Gun is great for integration. It's functional space is small, and it carries a lot of dead space. Many people have put AT2Ks into their LSFG, but not with keeping the original pistol in-tact. This write up will let you fit both guns in the LSFG.

Here's your materials:

LSFG
2K pump and tank
at least 6" of PETG, or barrel material of your choice.

Start with opening your gun, and removing the fake barrel.


Drill out the AR in the Springer gun:


Cut the PETG and fake barrel to 6".

Wrap tape around the PETG, untill tight in the fake barrel.

Dremel out shown areas:




Place the 2K internals inside, like shown, and hot glue them in place:

The pump fits in there as if it was meant to.

Connect the firing pin with the trigger by any means possible:

I used Heavy duty steel wire (which is a bitch to bend and cut) and polycarbonite.

Screw your gun back together, and enjoy a pistol with the power of two guns. A pistol which is......handy


Thanks to Ace of Nerf for providing the LSFG.

Wow, great work. Extremely clean from both the outisde and the insaide, and [as you mentioned] the option of two shots is a luxury indeed.

One question thought... for your original LSFG springer AR removal, you drilled out the complete back of the plunger/barrel, correct? Because I have my barrel sitting here in front of me and it's back (where you drilled out) has a tiny little hole in the back, while yours is completely open.

Again; great work. It would've been cool it you made it so you could still attach it to the LS, but as a sidearm pistol it looks to me like it serves its purpose very well. It is indeed a "Handy Pistol".

Nice. Write-up format is clean and so is the gun. Nice Job

Sweet. I like it. Cleaness is sexy. Was this from the Camo Longshot that was at Menwar?

I like this.
Good work.

Although this is a cool mod, but it seems like overkill to do on a crap gun. The LSFG is notoriously shitty, and by integrating something into it, you make into either a large secondary, or a crap primary. However, this does seem like something to do if you just have that one person with a broken gun in a nerf war.

Wing'd Man, I have to disagree with you on this...big time. It's not a crappy primary. Singled 2K's aren't the very best of primaries, but they're nothing to sneeze at. Also, he put it into a much more comfortable shell. For me, at least, the handle on the 2K is too small to be comfortable. I use them, but I wish the handle were just a bit bigger.

So he now has a blaster that can shoot as far as any other legal primary with 4-6 pumps (doesn't take that much time) and has a nice back-up shot in case he's rushed. As long as he doesn't cock the spring powered shot until he needs to shoot (which takes less than half a second), he can have that shot ready any time he wants it.

The only thing I don't like about this is that it appears to need a ramrod. Reload on the primary would be a bit slow, but not debilitatingly so. A flip breach would be a nice addition to this already respectable blaster. I actually may do this myself with a few personal touches...

Naw, that LSFG is integrated into that LS, which currently gets worse ranges than the front gun.

I've had good luck with both of my LSFGs, one getting 40', and the other (this one) at 30'. It's mainly just a 2K, with a LSFG for those "oh shit!" moments where you don't have enough time to re-load the 2K.

I'll paint this bad beast grey red and black when its warm enough (3 fucking months!).

EDIT: Sweet! I made the directory! Thanks Angel!

Just removed all of the "un-necessaries", and used the turret pin from another maverick for the priming handle.
