So I took my longshot apart, hoping to add a brass barrel to improve my ranges. Now, I only have a few basic tools, but I just so happened to have a shinny new piece of brass that fit inside the barrel rather nicely. So I cut the end of the brass to match the curve of the breach. If you were to consult the popular little diagram of Cpt. Slug's, it would be the section that slides back, then moves forward to pick up the dart. Cutting this small piece by hand with a crappy little saw was tedious, to say the least, so I thought I could save myself some trouble by cutting off the little protrusion from the end of the breach rather than cutting the brass to fit it. Anyways, this is where the point is actually made. That little protrusion is important, like, really important. It appears that that is what pushes down on the dart in the clip so that it slides back in the breach and seals. Without this, the whole gun doesn't work, you thought it had bad range before hand, this is pathetic.
So here I am, short about $50 with a gun that doesn't work. I've tried gluing the piece back on, but the strength is dubious. If anyone has any suggestions (other than shut up and get to the point), I'm all ears....or eyes...I'm new to this whole forums thing.
That's about it, no little protrusion, no shooty darts, no shooty darts, no abused roomates, and that's no fun.
cheers

I'd recommend a full brass bolt replacement, but that's definitely not something for someone new to modding.

As to your problem, get some epoxy putty, soonest. And just rough up the surfaces and put a little extra around the cut, but only on the top, so you can still use the clip.
I'm amazing at Forza3! I destroyed the engine of a 2mil C car by downshifting! YAY!
I hate you. And all noobs who are like "OMFG i r liek, glued sh1t 2 shit. jak offf ma ego. NAOW!"

I believe CS is talking about an all-out mod, including bolt replacement and the like, something that is far from easy for someone new to modding. Basic LS modding isn't too bad.

Well Even replacing the bolt/breech with angel breech isn't that hard if you have the tools. FA_24's breech write up is very good and lay's out the steps well.

I have been trying for days to secure the spike back to the breach tube...nothing has worked. Then I realized what the problem was. I had also removed what I think was called the tooth form the gun. This was causing my problem. The spike seems to have nothing to do with the good operation of the gun.
Anyways, I hope everyone who reads this doesn't have to post a reply just to laugh at me. But if you must, then go ahead, I've earned that one. I've learned to take my time and really plan out what I'm doing before jumping in. Honestly, I don't mind being so very wrong, a little embarrassment is a small price to pay to have my arsenal working again
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some foamy orange death to rain down.
