In Topic: Messed Up Recon Salvage/mod

I had the recon so that's what I'm using, maybe one day when my budget isn't so tight I'll try it with a different gun if this fails. So far this has cost me about 6 bucks: bond-o and PVC

I'm not really redoing the internals of the Recon... I am using the inverted plunger to cock the springs and combined with the other piece and the trigger: keep it cocked
Once the spring(s) are released the plunger and the AR piece are launched forward.

Right now that's all I have. When I get some time I am going put a dowel or a small OD pipe into the AR piece to extend the reach of the spring...

Don't use bondo as an adhesive.


its too late, its already on as you can see from the pics, and it seems strong..


Sadly, the Recon barely generates enough air to send DARTS 20 feet stock. I don't think you're going to get it to send a giant Mongo Dart very far at all.


the point isn't to get the air movement, its to get the spring force to propel the ball.
Without getting into the physics of it the spring force should impart allot more energy to the ball then the air mass flow does
