I'm not sure if anyone wondered, but, totting around 70 darts on a LS not only would be like having unlimited ammo, but in the way as well.

Being curious, I put the new drum in the stock to see how it would feel. Well obviously you won't be able to fire it the same. Unlike the "clips," that go straight down, the drum goes left and gets in the way if you're right-handed. So why not just turn the drum around?

Well if you had never noticed these guys (in green):

Those little nubs keep the clips from going in backwards. Well when you shave them off like in blue, they can go in backwards. However, being as drum and the fact that it's heavier, the drum will fall out due to the lack of a hole for the clip lock. So let's make one.

Get your dremel or saw or whatever and make sure you're cutting directly across.

If it looks like that, then it should work now.

Here's what it looks like in a LS:

And in the Raider:

So now we can carry 70 darts and still feel confortable in either hand.

By the way, the gun's shoot the same in either direction.

This gun is made up of a Recon and a Titan that had both broken down on me.

The recon had an external spring addition which eventually blew out the back of the plunger tube making it useless as the plunger tube offers not room for glue. When glue was added, the gun cocks prematurely and had worst than stock ranges - useless.

The titan, however, suffered from a different affliction. It was working just fine when all of a sudden, no matter how hard or fast you pulled the trigger, it just sighed out the air. Closer inspection found the the rod was pulled back a few extra millimeters (about 6). Oddly, the gun would fire a "real" shot every once in a while.

Anyways, I found both in the back of my trunk taking up space and I pulled them out. Bored last night, I decided to experiment with the tank. The tank was working well again and so I put it to good use. I took that useless straw modded recon and straw-modded it again with a titan chamber. I had tried to do the same mod with a LS but in a different style. I'm certain that if I did it this way, it'd work but that's another time.

After completion, the tank started acting up again which got odd results for ranges.

Shots ran from 20' to 80'

For a recon, that's pretty damn good and with a better tank, I'm certain it'd be a decent gun thereafter.

Pluses: 80' from a recon, clip-fed, 12 shots, can shoot more than one dart
Cons: Has to be pumped, not consistent with "real" shots (at least for now), doesn't have a real pump handle and can be awkward to hold if not right.

Also, I used a hanger to pull the release valve.

Alright everyone. I got a few projects going right now but the biggest problem I'm having is two striped screw caps and as you can guess from the title, they are made of aluminum. My strongest glue hardened and cured fully and on this gun's first shot, it broke the glue and moved the cap back 1 mm. So.... repeated shots are dangerous and I'm looking for a way to keep it there. I'm not looking to solder the cap on there (at least not yet - maybe a last-ditch effort). So what do you guys have? I know you don't really mess with aluminum on aluminum but this is my best bet.

Oh yeah... the gun shoots ALL ammo. Yes all. Stock suction, taggers, SL's, weighted SL's, stefans, arrows and even titan missiles. It pretty much is accurate to use a sight (with darts)(not to the point of a scope but what is other than a real gun).

In the end, it's in my best effort to keep this gun alive.

Thanks for some input.

I modded my titan so that it can shoot modded streamlines and stefans (standard) and wanted it to still be able to shoot the large missile (standard desire and procedure); however, in my set-up, I chose not to have a coupler and all that jazz like impa. At first it was just two barrels that I could swap out. The dart barrel can shoot multiple kinds of ammo: stefans, snubs, weighted SL's, and arrows via the LS barrel extension.

I drilled the AR's on the titan barrel and put it over the dart barrel (I made that out of half the LS barrel extension and a 1/2 in. copper pipe). I could still get the titan missile over all of it but I had to pump it up about 20 times to get similar ranges. The problem was a lack of pressure due to the large hole.

So I plugged the hole with something convenient. I dremeled out a little disc from a CD.


By tailschaser, shot with DSC-P92 at 2008-02-27

I glued it in place with some Gorilla Glue and put some weight on top. When it was done, I sanded it completely flush with my other barrel.

It gets normal ranges again.

What do you think?

Hey everyone. I'd just like to introduce one kind of front gun mod that I performed. I've noticed that several people don't like some of the accessories that came with the recon and dubbed them "useless." Well I took one of those "useless" items and made it do something that we all can use.

I used the light that came with the gun and put gun pieces inside it. As you know, I didn't do the front gun integration on my LS so I still had its secondary gun lying around. I took out its gun pieces and put them inside the light. It took some dremeling and scrounging but I got something functional. I plan on going out one day this week and getting better pieces to make it pretty and more functional.

There are two springs inside - the normal ls secondary spring and a mave spring. Together, this gun can get about 30 ft. NOTE: The AR's are removed.
EDIT: (I replaced these spring with some better ones. I posted that down below.)

The clips on the light hold up just fine.

Plus, it's modular!

And what all my last few mods could look like together.
