Hi, I would love it if someone would tell me if it's possible to make the longshot friendly to things other than stefans and streamline darts. Please include a picture if you're showing me how to.

Well, the special thing of the longshot is the loading and reloading of the mags(Thats at least what I think). since dart tag darts don't fit in them i don't think there is any way to shoot them. try searching.

Edit: Grammar

It is not possible at all. The only types of darts that will work are the streamlines, CDTDs (Converted Dart Tag Darts, which are simply stefans that used Dart tag bodies instead of FBR) and stefans.

Refer to this article in the future for any Longshot quetsions. There is no need to start a new topic when there is one pinned at the top of the forum.

Modifying A Longshot?

If it isn't listed in there, then it probably hasn't been done successfully or not at all. It could also mean, if it isn't in the topic, that it is not possible at all. If you think you can get one to do just that, then try it out for yourself and post the results here, if any.

With a bit of sanding, the tips of taggers could fit fine in the mags. It is perfectly possible, I can think of a way to do it off the top of my head.

I've taken a couple LSs apart, and I've tried to fire DT darts a couple times, all of the attempts failed. The reason being: the tips of the darts clog the chamber because they're bigger than the chamber. I have made some darts where they have velco tips. It's easy. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Buy strips of velcro for clothing.
2. Buy darts.
3. Cut off dart tips.
4. Glue on small cirlcles of store-bought velco.

This dart mod works reletivly well, the only problem is the slight decrease in range. I am trying to make Better darts, and I will tell you when I do. Good luck.

Yeah I gotta agree with Spec's idea, it's probably the quickest and simplest way, (Except I'd just glue the velcro hooks to stefans, cutting up stock darts triggers my stingy-sense). Only other way I can think of besides making your own stefans are to find a material that doesn't cause much friction inside of whatever barrels you're using, and cover it around the side of the tips of the darts (Imagine a Jumbo straw wrapped around the sides of the head of the velcro darts; if only jumbo straws were that wide).

you would have to widen the barrel in the back so it fits the head, as the front barrel has enough room stock
