TerraNova was crawlin' with them. Longshots, I believe. RIPD did, too (pistols). A few others I can't remember off hand.

Or, build a surround around your maverick, and use your priming rod (the cross piece of your pump grip) to prime both blasters. If designed so the only maverick part it interacts with is the plunger rod (ie not moving a piece of the maverick at all if it's already primed), you should be able to prime once, readying both blasters, and continue to prime the longshot only w/ the same mechanism until the plunger rod (or, I guess, tube in the case of the reverse plunger maverick- is there a reason we're not using a strongarm here?) releases. Anyways, the priming slide on the stock maverick works much the same way, not interfering with any aspect of the blaster unless in it's "resting state", so theoretically all that would be needed is to reinforce (and possibly expand/custom build) the existing maverick slide and integrate an armature which follows back to the location of the original longshot priming handle. Actually a rather novel yet simple build. Make it and show me lots of pictures :angry:

Kidding. Sounds like fun, good luck!

Now, if you want something completely removable and reusable, I simply put a hole in the back of an old crayola-styled marker, and it will press fit in most of those old barrels, I think I had to wrap a layer of paper towel over it on my ssII. if it does have restrictors, the edges of the marker will trip them. it pulls right out to the point that I've interchanged between both gauges in a war. I've done this for a defender, transformers blasters, a max force rattler, and just about any other old blaster I want to leave stock.

Just a low-tech, wacky-simple idea.

It is a matter of regulation, not product line symmetry or packaging. These regulations exist whether acknowledged on the package or not. Ask an Aussie.

My understanding is it was a safety issue with their product in other countries, projectile shooters are not "toys" in some countries if they can (this is the specific I'm not sure of) shoot a certain range/FPS (I believe it's range dependent, but the reduction could be an incidental function of the FPS reduction). I believe the range the old grey elites were advertising was in the neighborhood of 75 instead of 90 (or maybe even 60, it's early, my memory sucks, and I'm converting metric- I am America in the 80's)
