What I'm doing to my Crossbow is taking off (literally ripping off) the section underneath the barrel (after you've re-located it), where the X1500 mod would go, and putting a gun underneath there. I'm in the process of putting a Splitfire underneath it, so that I can hold onto the Crossbow grip and use the Splitfire grip I attached underneath the main barrel. Kinda gives it a SWAT style to it, but...it's up to you. If it doesn't fit your playstyle then don't go for it. If you wanna try something different, go for it. Maybe try putting a Secret Shot 2 underneath there, or maybe (this is a crazy idea...) hook up a Blastfire so that there's a pentagonal shape around the main barrel? One shot plus 5 extra rapid fires ones? I don't know if it's possible, but then again, it's just a crazy idea.

Just like you said, I don't want any tape on the gun either. I'd like a much more streamlined, sexy appearance but still keep the gun top notch and badass. I think brass is the way to go too, although I'm still iffy about it. What do you think I should do? Should I go with megas or micros? The LCM sticks mostly to megas, so I don't want to be the only idiot running around in circles shooting micros, only to have megas fired back. Any ideas?

Eh... why not?Should I go with megas or micros? The LCM sticks mostly to megas, so I don't want to be the only idiot running around in circles shooting micros, only to have megas fired back. Any ideas?
Micros have 10-30' more useful range in a high power gun than megas. I'd love to be the only one using them. Unfortunately, all the west coast kids have caught up with the times and are using micros now.
If you're worried about running out of ammo I'd suggest you invest a little time in making enough darts to last you the war. You don't really want to shoot other people's darts anyhow since you have no control over the quality.

My lord....I'd love to be the only one using them. Unfortunately, all the west coast kids have caught up with the times and are using micros now.
All the kiddies I play with use either PC's, BBB's, or SM 1500's or SM 750's. They all shoot friggin' micros. I have to special make my micro stefans that I use in my Crossbow, because if I didn't they'd all look the same...

Is that a threat Vacc? Hehe. Yea, I think I might go micro in this case. Which is a first for me, except for when I was toting the ole' Evil BlowGun around back in the day. Looks like brass for me, now, where to get some? Hmmm...If you don't have a micro alternative you simply won't be able to return our fire.

*Applause*...I'm not so sure yet, I just don't want ANY tape on the damn thing.

I never really liked the whole duct tape movement, so I can quite appreciate this turn of heart.
Multiple barrels, off the main spring tube, eh? Using some kind of air divertor or something? If you'd like, I can show you a design for a homemade turret (Though I'm sure you could do this yourself, easy, if you wanted it).
Hmmm... I may have to steal that barrel switcher idea... So simple, yet somehow elusive.
Oh, for the rail interface; What kind of materials are you thinking of using? Something beyond metal wire and tape, I'm guessing. Although there is an attraction in simplicty.

You didn't just say that, did you? If you're worried about duct tape looking bad, there's always colored duct tape...I never really liked the whole duct tape movement, so I can quite appreciate this turn of heart.
VACC, I myself use .5" copper barrels for my mods, and they fit my .5" stefans perfectly. I didn't catch whether you were using micros or micro stefans, but I've personally come to love homemade micros. They fly far, fast, and hurt like hell.

What!? I thought all people use micro darts, 3/8" is what most of my s shoot. Or is that large and I'm just out of it like everything else today?

Well yeah, that was the idea, the question was what material to use and how to secure it neatly. Glue was pretty much out from the begining. Regardless, I've gone with a magnetic rail system that is simply more practical in every way.Try using a simple nock-lock system. Carve a nock into the one side of the rail. One the other side take the nock that you carved out and glue it down. That there should work as long you glue it well.

Yes Howard, that's what magnetic means.so you're using magnets now?

Not sure if this will help you, but you can decrease the elasticity of the dart by drilling out a hole through the center with a Wendy's, or similar diameter straw. Sounds simple, even stupid, but it allows for easier dart compression, which could be what you're looking for. Not exactly like your normal darts, but it could certainly help the situation.The problem I'm facing right now actually is a better supply of fbr. The type I recieved is too wide for the usual brass, and too thin for the step up.
