Ok, so my Longshot is Messed up. The piece that is connected to the plunger chamber by 2 screws, ya it is broken. The two pieces where the screws both broke off. I want to know if this is just happening to me and if there is any known way to fix it or just solve the problem in general. Thanks.

Not surprising. You will probably have to get a new one, if you do. Pm me.

Ask around, make a WTB, I'm sure someone has a broken LS that they are willing to sell for parts. You could always try fixing it. Try using epoxy or superglue then reinforce it with epoxy putty. I'm not sure if it will hold but it's worth a shot.

That happens to me a lot so I use hot glue to fill the inside it hasn't happened to me again yet.

The hole still attached is cracked and the other one fell off.

Did you replace the spring? The entire force of the spring is being held by those two screw wells. If you didn't, you either got faulty plastic or you're being too rough with your longshot.
If you can't get a new one, you'll have to either scrap it or cover the end with a cut down PVC endcap. It'd be a ton of work though.

Hot glue has no structural integrity. I haven't had this problem, but the best advice I can give is to replace the back piece.That happens to me a lot so I use hot glue to fill the inside it hasn't happened to me again yet.
