NiteShot Help

Only problem is, I'm getting pretty abyssmal performance for such a larger plunger tube. It has a stock o ring on the head, and the spring combination is that of a Barrel Break and Nitefinder (newer model):
So I was wondering, what could I do to increase the performance? What is the best spring/spring combo for something like this?
Thanks in advance,

the only mod you can have is the range extetder mod.

The second is to optimize your barrel/dart fit. The barrel pictured is too small for the plunger volume you're using. By using an optimally longer barrel (assuming that you already have a tight it with your darts) allows pressure to properly build up behind your darts before they leave the barrel. Your barrel setup is most likely wasting plunger volume after the dart has already left the barrel. Test longer/different barrel types until you come up with the right setup.

There are two things you can do. Improve the seal between the O-ring and the inside of the PT with a combination of teflon tape (underneath the O-ring to increase it's diameter) and silicon grease (only silicon grease) for sealing around the contact surfaces between said O-ring and PT.
White Lithium grease, in my experience, is also safe for such lubrication purposes. A Double O-ring mod may also help ranges along with wrapping plumber's tape around the plungerhead.
Also, what did you use to secure the plunger tube to the barrel? Make sure that is air tight as well. This happened to me on a modified Nitefinder early in my modding days. My solution was to drench the thing in JB Kwik to seal off any possible airleaks. Plumber's Goop should also work, if it's available to you. The problem may lie more in this connection and less on the inner workings of the plunger.
On an unrelated note, it would be a good idea to pad the plungerhead as well. BBB arrows are a favorite material of mine to use for such purposes.

I like to pad my blasters with the anti-slip pads that you put under chair legs and such. I find that BBB arrow foam compresses to easily.

The BBB foam seems to work for me. That's a very good idea, though. Next time I'm in home depot I'll invest in a pack.

all the way down that barrel. It should get much better. A longer barrel will also help.

Also, an LS plungertube has a diameter similar to that of 1.25" PVC. That's not a whole lot, really, so don't be too disappointed.

Along with everyone else's recommendations above, observing your photos, it looks like your plunger head doesn't even reach the end of the plunger tube.
I think it does. Observe the black ring near the front of the plunger tube.
