I actually bought that one at the same time. I wasn't very happy with it, yet once I did the shell
mod and used the Nerf Whistler darts that I cut down to size, it fixed the reload issues and the
shells were able to feed properly. I think I had only 1 mishap out of 12 shells!

If you own that gun you will know that is unheard of, especially when I tell you that was shooting
and cocking the gun as fast as I possibly could.

Also, the ranges were about 1/2 of what my Double Shot got. but a large portion I am sure
is due to the barrel situation again. I was going to return it, but I will look into modding it
now that you mention it.

I do wish the clip was larger, on another note... I have another Double Shot that is just cut
down in size, no other mods... what to do... what to do...

So, as I promised I have performed the peg mod to the shells and they work wonders. Then, realizing many people have done this I compared them to CPVC'd shells and the ones without the pegs work significantly better. Also, the 90 degree drop has been done multiple times before including my write-up on the flintlock pistol version. However, this one might be the cleanest I have seen as well as a sick paint job so great job shinma! Also, good idea to keep the orange things on the end since you painted it realistic colors.

Thank you Captain! I am pretty amazed, that so many people have viewed this mod, and I really
am flattered with the compliments on the paint job.

I am trying to find another good mod to do. I tend to try to keep my mods to things
that can be done without new barrels etc, because I like the idea that people without
access to certain materials could do my mods

On a side note-I did pick up the new CS-35 with the drum clip at my local walmart... was 29.95 and had 2 drums
and 70 darts with it. Downside is that it doesn't seem to be any better than the Recon CS-6.
So, I think I might be returning this one. It was great to get the extra drum, but its mostly
useless if the gun cant shoot effectively at a high rate of speed for me

Final Update (as per Just Some Bob's request haha)

43-46' at a 0 degree angle. tool used, digital level that was re-calibrated 2 times during this test
and still resulted in the same ranges amongst 7 darts. 1 shot misfired and made it 23'
the others were all withing a few feet of each other in the 43-46' range.

Note, these were a mixture of 4 black tip orange body whistlers and 3 black body orange tip whistlers
all with 1cm cut off the rear.

Height fired from was shoulder height so a little over 5' high I believe, and the ambient temperature
is in the mid 70's (indoor office). Little to no humidity.

I was wearing a t-shirt, and had my hair in a ponytail, and I do not believe there were any additional
things that could have influenced the test

Ha ha... Bob, I hope you and your engineer friends got a laugh out of that, as well as some useful
information.

oh, p.s. I was hungry at the time. Still am now, perhaps ill get dinner.

Good point, I am used to shooting over cubicle walls at work, so about a 20 degree angle is what we shoot
with day in and day out

I will get a level today hopefully and take some new range measurements.

Just in case no one sees the edit...

***UPDATE***
Got the maintenance guys at work to pull out the super long measuring tape.
Using STOCK Nerf Whistler dart, with 1cm shaved off of the end of each one...

54' Seriously. I think I fired them at about a 20 degree angle from just
above waist and just under chest height (I am just at 6' tall).

So, yeah, I would say that anyone that is only getting 4' out of their DS
either has a bad one, or should do the mod with the shells, I for one do
not see a reason to remove the restrictor fully, as it does direct the air
in a much more controlled and confined burst. Who knows, I might be
crazy... Wait.. I did spend a lot of time on this post, and then came and
udpdated it like I said i would... Guess that answers that

ENJOY EVERYONE!!!
