edit: sorry i didn't mean to double post this. I thought something happened and the first one did not post but it did
hey guys
I came across a crossbow awhile back due to the condition it was in and i don't know how to fix it. I have tried several things but nothing has worked so I thought I would use the haven as a resource. The plunger head has broken off.
this problem is causing a minor decrease in range

Lanard Triple Shot Re-barreled
09 January 2011 - 01:12 PM
Edit:Title changed. i understand the reasons not to put "done right" in the title but it bothers me to see people singling the triple barrels of this blaster.
Basically I have taken the triple shot and did a spring addition (a longstrike spring) and a relatively complicated barrel replacement. The 1/2 CPVC couplers fit perfectly over the piece where the dart use to go, however there’s a catch. The couplers need to be sanded down so that they fit together and so that the turret fits back onto the rotating mechanism. (yeah sorry I don’t have many pics of the before and during the mod because I decided to make the write-up after I did the modification. When you get the blaster and take it apart it will make sense.) The sanding needs to be done to make room for the posts from the rotating mechanism and for the other couplers. The sanding requires a belt sander (which is what I used), a skilled dremel user (if the sides of the couplers aren’t flat the spread could be goofy), or an insane amount of time and patience with some sand paper. Here is a close-up picture of the sanding that is visible:
After all the barrels fit snugly together the turret needs to be hot glued to the rotating mechanism here:
this keeps the turret in place since the screws that use to do this have nowhere to go anymore.
After that the actual barrels need to be made. Mine are about 3 inches.
The final product is beast of a shotgun with a tight or wide spread depending on how the barrels are aligned. I haven’t had the time to do an actually range test but with screamers it hits waist level from 40 feet flat. Two stefans can be loaded into each barrel with rather devastating effects at close range.

Painted And Forgriped Longshot With Pictures
29 September 2009 - 12:42 PM
Ok sorry about my other posts but I have figured this whole thing out now.
First I cut a piece of 1/2" CPVC to about 1 1/2 feet.
then i drilled a hole in one end about 1/4" in diameter about an inch from one end land capped it
then i cut up the barrel extension in the front of the longshot slid the pieces onto the peice of CPVC, put the priming handle through the hole and then into the longshot. Then slide the barrel pieces into the right position (like the photo below) and glue the hell out of it with your favorite glue. Now use a 1/2" CPVC connector piece to add on a handle. Then just cap the end of the handle. Then i wrapped the handle in electrical tape. here it is. I had to use the priming handle thing from a Vulcan because the longshot's priming handle's rod was to short but you might not have to.
Oh wait and here is the final paint job (the silver was a primer/base coat). Tell me what you think.
and I made a video about it. check it out.
here is the link--------------->

Longshot / Firefly Flash Integration
29 September 2009 - 10:16 AM
Ok before any of you say this is stupid let me explain why I did it. There is a reason behind my madness. So imagine this: in a night time battle the flash can be used to disorientate people. it might give away your position but anyone in the area is disorientate for the next 30 seconds. Or picture this: you are about to charge someone hiding behind a corner (day or night) and u charge them, aim flash and fire. It will confuse/disorientate them (the flash and being hit hard by the longshot). I still can't figure out how to post pictures very well so here is video link ---------->
If you want me to explain how i did it i will gladly add on to this post. Thank you! And have a nice day
If you have any suggestions I am open to them.

My Big Blast
09 April 2009 - 02:54 PM
i modded my big blast into the best gun I have ever made ill put pics up when i can sorry! i did the ar removal and added a 3ft long barrel that is removable so you can load a dart in. When pumped fully it will fire a stefan about 146ft! I did not replace the old barrel so i had to dremel the inside of the original barrel's 1/2" connector piece. I also did not do anything to the big blast's air tank. The tank is still stock. The longer barrel increases the muzzle velocity of the gun. The main problem is the barrel is long and will fall off sometimes. Also if you are going to leave bad comments don't even bother writing them.
