Theres variation among the dart ranges within each set, (ex. 6 darts: 1 got 93, 2 got 60ish, etc), but those are the averages. Every 2 darts added decreases range by 10 feet approxamately.

That is very cool. It like the double shot, only it's actually useful and there are no crappy shells. Good work!

[k9turrent]

Effeminate win... I love it's interchangable with a normal singled barrel

[Hi Yah]

I love the shotgun style loading! It's much faster than a flip clip.

[alextwin007]

The only thing that I could be a problem is that this seems hard to load when running. Other than that good job, it looks great when you load it.

Not harder than any other method of loading a dart, besides for the standard front loading. Its faster than the other methods.

Magnets right? How hard was it to make it seal? Also, your handle is very nice looking as well.

14 lb. pull and 25 lb. pull grade 42 and 45 neodynium magnets. Not hard, and thanks.

That's really, really cool. One question, why are the videos in cranky's account?

I burgled his house and took all his base.

Very nice, Awesome concept.

[Pearson2]

Long had a dreamed of a PAS that could be flipped down to be loaded. Even longer had I dreamed of a double barrel PAS and you made both. Is there a writeup anywhere? This gun out and out rocks.

[TantumBull]

Have you done any sort of range testing for the double barrel attachment?

I have all the pictures for the writeup I just have yet to do it. Its not even necessary though...the pictures posted kind of says it all. Theres no hidden fusion reactor.

Nice mod, something I'm gonna have to do sooner or later. I have a question about the loading. As we all know, springers work better with a tight barrel as opposed to a looser one. With your current set-up, how hard is it to load 4 darts down one barrel?

-Edit: I noticed that you have a interchangeable barrel system rigged up there, what are the coupler sizes? How is that piece extending from the gun fit your 1/2 PVC inside, while have a coupler outside? (not at the same time of course)

Easy, as shown in the video. But Cpvc is the tightest barrel material. The darts I used seem to be pretty thin.

[CoasterDynamix757]

Nice innovative mod. How's the seal? Any air loss?

Overall great mod I would have never thought of that!

[white moonlight]

I love how you used the hinges, and use a double barrel method.

Does it have any air loss when youre using the double barrel attachment?

[nerfer34]

Wooaaa it's THIRST?!

Guy's like a living legend on here. I'd just like to say thank you Thirst for your semi auto concept. That was the first thing on the NIC that really got me thinking.

[Basilisk]

Wow, that is very innovative, the combo between shotgun grip and hinge double barrel is amazing but he mod itself is simple. I like it a lot!

[Talio]

Welcome back Thirst. I like the mod.

[THIRST]

The base coupler is a 1/2 to 1 inch coupler, and the other 2 endcaps are 1 inch. The 1/2 to 1 inch coupler has an inner diameter of 3/4 inch pvc, so I put petg in a 3/4 inch pvc length to make it fit inside.

No air loss to speak of. when I plug the barrels no air leaks out at the o-rings, so I'll say its airtight.

Thanks nerfer34, My ego just smiled. I'm glad it was useful to you.

[Crankymonky]

When considering the ranges, please note that the gun is not using just the stock spring.

It has a #53 ace spring and the stock spring in it. Will post the ranges it gets with one barrel tomorrow so you can compare the strength.

[PointBlank]

Great job on this one, it ads a bit of realism that wasn't there before.

[diamondbacknf1626]

Nicely done. I have a stock PAS laying around...hmm...

I like this very much. I like the idea of shotgunning springers, because they're still pretty fast, and maintain the option of a certain # of darts, making it harder to dodge. I just finished up the main part of my originally done shotgunned BBBB, and I love having the spread of darts. Good work. I look forward to the writeup.
