I singled my longshot but when i put the dart in the barrel and close the coupler that dart doesn't even leave the barrel.
I know there was a thread but he got hid darts to go 50 Feet. Thanks.

Are there any places where a significant amount of air can escape?

[lambchop]

No. Not that i am aware of

[SaucyGanzalez]

When you fire it does any air come out of the barrel?

[cheesypiza001]

Try to stick you finger in one end of the barrel and make it as airtight as you can. Then, simply form a seal around the other side of the barrel with your mouth. Once you have your mouth around it, blow. Try to find any air-leaks that way.

The air is coming out of the plunger tube where the air restrictor sticks through. How could i fix the seal between the cpvc and plunger tube.

Didi you use enough E-tape?

[lambchop]

I used a 3/4 to 1 inch couple i think. i Will put some e-tape on though.

[umpshaplapa]

Make sure it's snug. If you turn it over it shouldn't immediately fall all the way down.

Did you add a spring to it?

Your darts are probably too tight. What is your barrel made of? I have some darts that are too tight in cpvc, and i tried them in my longshot with a cpvc barrel, and they didn't leave the barrel either. Try different foam and see if that works.

I have somewhat of the same problem with a singled longshot because it won't fire even with a LS/BBB Spring Combo. I cut down the little circle ring on the boltsled so the priming handle could pull a litttle bit more and catch. But I used Ice's way with the half of the CPVC coupler and the 3/4 ring around it. The 3/4 ring has plenty of E Tape on it and it very snug. I really don't know what is the problem. Can anyone help me?

when I made a singled longshot the front barrel was long enough to extend slightly past the nose of the gun. I fired it and my darts flew about 20 feet. I cut back the barrel a good amount and saw a dramatic increase in ranges. Even though the darts I was using worked well in cpvcthe long barrel wasn't efficent.

I fixed the problem by wraping e-tape around the coupler in the chamber. I now get 95+ ranges with a 10 inch barrel.

Good idea, this guy.

By the way, added that hilarious quote to my signature, while playing with my butthole.
