What replacement spring do you guys use for your crossbow? What ranges do you get?(also include other mods that are significant and would affect the range)

Provide links if you can, Thanks.

These should answer all of your questions and then some.

That's just funny... Hehehe...

Anyways, didn't you already make a post about this? I thought you did... might have been someone else.

I don't recommend replacing the spring. Just do the standard barrel relocation (to the front of the gun), and band/bungee it. You should get great ranges (130'+). But if you have your heart set on replacing it, the only thing I've heard of is the DT3's spring. But keep in mind that replacing the spring adds to the possibilt of breakage just when cocking the gun.

If you replace the spring or band/bungee the thing to hell and both results end up giving you similar results than it is safe to say that both methods are putting equal pressure on the guns internals.

Yes, I did make a post about replacing the spring in a crossbow but I asked a completely different question, and that topic went to hell when everyone started talking about magnets or something... Anyway, what's a "DT3"?

[Gengar003]

It is the Defender T3, an interesting gun from the Cyberstrike line. There was a pistol, and an "arrow shooter" part that clipped onto the top. The two could separate for "TWO SEP4R4T3 M1SH0NZ!!11!!!!"



The spring you want is the one from the arrow shooting part. It is pretty much a crossbow spring, but longer. The spring by itself doesn't seem to add that much extra kick to the crossbow (or at least it didn't to mine), so you could/should band or bungee it as well, for maximum power.

As long as you're opening the gun, take some sheet metal and epoxy it onto all of the stress points of the gun (spring perch, plunger rod, etc.) to prevent premature breaking due to a more powerful spring/added pressure from bungees.

Wow, that looks really clean, how did you make the cut for those sheets of metal? Especially the one that reinforces the place the spring hits? I gotta figure out how to make one of them because the metal in the plunger rod should be easy, but I have no idea how to pull off the other one.

For the plunger rod i'll just do what the guy did on the modification part of the site, gooping in a bunch of metal rods.

Also, where do I get my hands on one of those DT3's?

Is that a metal bracket, or just some sheet metal curved to fit the wall? Mine is showing some stress signs on the outside of the gun... after using sheet metal (brass), it wa pretty thick too.

You could either buy the DT3's here, or on Ebay (or on any other Nerf forum).

[Tsunami]

Do you reinforce the plunger all the way down or just on each end?
