First off I found this gun in a $5 Easter basket at K-Mart.
All right so I have seen one mod for the Triple Shot and that uses brass and I didn't have any so I used OMC's 1/2" thick walled PETG. This mod is really easy you need these things.
  • Tape
  • Hot Glue
  • 1/2" PETG 3 1/2" length comes out to 3" long so 4" for a 3 1/2 " barrel
  • Something to cut PETG
First saw off half of the posts

Then wrap them in tape so the PETG fits snugly over them
Then put hot glue on the end of the PETG and put it over the tape and add hot glue around the base for a better hold.
Then repeat until done. (I didn't finish mine because I was running low on tape)

Ranges were about 47-53 wind played a bit of a role 43-48 against the wind and 50-55 with the wind.
Here is a size comparison

Change your font, its kinda big and annoying.

I like the mod, I looked at this like a cross between a Maxshot and Firstshot, with 3 barrels. How big is it compared to a Nitefinder?

How long are the barrels? You might want to keep them at 3 1/2" long, just like a first shot.

That is some kind of awesome. How strong is the spring in there? Anything else you might be able to do to make it kick some more secondary worthy ass?

The spring is pretty strong but I don't know what I can compare it to though. You could add another spring but I am not sure on how well it will hold up to the added power since I didn't have to open it up to mod it. It would be cool if someone could tell me what kind of spring I could add.

That's nice, but the barrells in the second picture look crooked. Also, please change your font, like keef said it is pretty annoying.

The best way to find all this out is to open the gun and have a look see. It may be a pain in the ass to do but, can have some very pleasing results.

Just opened it up and I will upload the pictures soon. Also CPF the closest barrel in the second picture is crooked but when you shoot it it shoots maybe an inch or two off.

Sorry about the double post but here is the best pic of the internals.

You might be able to fit a crossfire spring in the plunger tube which is about 3 1/2" long (correct me on this if I am mistaken). Sorry about the blurry pic, hopefully I can get a tripod or something to hold it soon.

That's actually pretty sweet. Good ranges too, for $5. I'll have to see if I can pick one up.
