I dont have the gun nor am I good at modding I just have an idea and wonder if it could work.


Take the pre-existing barrel out of main part of gun, then put a tightbore barrel in the pistol that would go from the end of the pistol all the way back to the begining part of the gun where the original barrel was.(this is where I dont know if it could remotely stand a chance of being done) If the pistol is removed it will make the longshot's range drop but why would you not put the pistol on if you could use it to make a long tightbore barrel anyway?

I dont know about the seal of the barrel to the plunger tube though. But if it could be done it should give huge range and accuracy when combined with stefans, air restrictor removal, and either a bbb or nf spring added.


So what do you think guys?

[Team Slaya]

I'd think that most people will mod both the main gun and pistol seperately, to make things a bit simpler. At least, I'll be doing this for said reason.

What do you mean by a tightbore barrel? Explain.

And if you don't think that the seal between the air output and barrel is gonna be good, I suggest against the idea in question, because you're gonna get crappy results if there's leakage. Just a thought.

At most, you will probably only have to nest a 6-8" brass barrel in the original barrel, placing it close to the insertion point.

A question for anyone who does own a LS, can the extended barrel on the pistol be removed? Also, what is the greatest OD of the barrel? Is it possible to remove the barrel and replace it with pvc with brass or 1/2" cpvc inside?

If you dissasemble the front blaster the barrel slides right out. The orange suports the barrel sits on are glued to one side of the front blaster. From within the larger blaster if you look at the front of it, there is that big orange adapter that slides inside the front blaster; right behind that is a short length of barrel (4-5inches) that comes right out. This piece is completely seperate from the "staging area" where the dart sits after the blaster is cocked. The outter diameter of the barrel itself is 3/4"; all you would need to do for a barrel mod would be to removed that barrel and dremel off the small lip on the large adapter piece.

Also I've noticed ranges that were posted for the longshot with the added BBB spring were between 60-99 feet.
The range for the longshot with air restrictors removed, a stretched longshot spring (stretched around 3 inches longer) and stock steamlined darts is ~42feet flat and ~62feet angled 30-degrees. This was tested on flat ground between two houses that share one long driveway, wind at 0-5mph.

Happy Modding

Well I mean a much smaller inside diamiter or brass even for a less chancce of suck back. The seal problem can be overcome by not ever removing the pistol(mod it first) so you can get multiple shots. I WILL NOT be attempting this at all because

1 dont know much about mods
2 dont have longshot
3 dont know if possible to do

[trogdor65]

I agree with Team_Slaya.

Reinforcement, so that if you put a new spring in, it won't blow up.

If the pistol is removed it will make the longshot's range drop

The Longshot actually gets more range with the pistol off
