can the spring fit in the lingshot?
how much more distance does it add if it can fit in the ls?

PS sorry if this is a waste of your time but i spend a lot of time looking this stuff and found nothing

Thanks - GMD

I would say about 3 or 4 dollars for the spring, at least that's what I would pay. And the BBB spring can fit in the LS, but it will just kill the LS in the long run. You will have to reinforce it with some sheet metal, and some craft foam on the plunger head might help.

Please fix your capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
I would pay $7.
Yes, it does fit in the ls.
I don't know how much further it would shoot because I have never put a bbb spring in a ls.

A BBB spring has a LOT of power. I would say it would boost it a good 20 or 30 feet. Although, PM Grenada and ask. He put a BBB in his LS I think.

Don't just ask Grenada, ask most of the people who modded their Longshots before CS or whoever discovered the ar-15 was a good replacement...

I have one in my Finesse, without a brass breech it gets 70' tops (and that far acurately, if I'm lucky). You really need the ARs out and a Angel Breech on it to take advantage of the extra power.

Anyways, I think $10 would be fair especially since they don't have to pay for shipping. A BBB is $20 you know, and the only other way they're gonna get it is by buying one.

Yeah, BBB springs kill your Longshot without modification. My plunger tube is currently broken due to a BBB spring. Guess i just have to fix it.

But I would say about 5-10 dollars wouldn't be that bad of a charge

[Grenada]

BBB springs do add range IF, repeat, IF you add in a decent barrel replacement, and reinforce the plunger too before you add in a bbb spring. Until you do that, It will just make your rof slower, while adding maybe 2 feet. So don't add it until then

Edit:Oh, I would charge $5

A BBB spring in mine was AMAZING. The boom everytime was just so satisfying.

But after a week of constant shooting, the bolt sled broke in 2 pieces, and the back of the plunger tube blew off. The power was 90 and FAST.

But now Angel Breached and ar-15 spring, I get 90ish feet and BBB accuracy, I love it. It just needs TLC and lots of replacing.

The longshot is my favorite nerf gun. I love the power, the ROF, and how freakin awesome it looks. I will gladly help you or anyone out with modding one.

My LS is a first gen one and I have a BBB and an LS spring in it, no reinforcement, and it's working fine for me. I've had it apart several times since I added the spring and I haven't seen any cracks or stress marks. I think some of you just got crappy LS components. Also, I can cock my LS quickly despite the force of the two springs (anyone that was at SPANO can back me up on this) and I get 130-150ft out of it (angled 30-45*) and I get around 90ft out of it (angled 0*) and the accuracy is awesome. I'm working on putting a modified Angel Breech in it to increase range and accuracy.

EDIT: Comments aside, I'd say $5-7 for it.
