Do you reinforce the plunger all the way down or just on each end?

Wow, that looks really clean, how did you make the cut for those sheets of metal? Especially the one that reinforces the place the spring hits? I gotta figure out how to make one of them because the metal in the plunger rod should be easy, but I have no idea how to pull off the other one.

For the plunger rod i'll just do what the guy did on the modification part of the site, gooping in a bunch of metal rods.

Also, where do I get my hands on one of those DT3's?

That's just funny... Hehehe...

Anyways, didn't you already make a post about this? I thought you did... might have been someone else.

I don't recommend replacing the spring. Just do the standard barrel relocation (to the front of the gun), and band/bungee it. You should get great ranges (130'+). But if you have your heart set on replacing it, the only thing I've heard of is the DT3's spring. But keep in mind that replacing the spring adds to the possibilt of breakage just when cocking the gun.


Yes, I did make a post about replacing the spring in a crossbow but I asked a completely different question, and that topic went to hell when everyone started talking about magnets or something... Anyway, what's a "DT3"?

Yeah, I wasn't very clear my self. What I meant was that you can mod a lot of guns to shoot 40 feet with high velocity. That's what I meant when I said "accurately". Pretty much as long as they can get a max distance of 50-55' they can shoot at 40 feet with "good velocity".

But if you want it to shoot over 40 feet REALLY fast, like Crossbow fast, that's going to hurt whoever gets hit, even at forty feet. If the peoiple you're shooting at don't want to get welts, then you might not want to get something that shoots over 70-80 feet, unless you're using stock darts or something.


I think one idea that might work is to lightly mod a crossbow, instead of super mod it, right now with just a crayola barrel+copper barrel it gets like 50' or something, how much better would the range be once I get my brass and make the nested brass thing everyone talks about?

But all honesty, almost any gun can be modified (minus the really crappy ones, like the rip rocket series) to shoot 40 feet accurately.



Well I also want good velocity, which I forgot to mention. I have a few guns that make it 40' and if I practiced with it I wouldn't miss in target practice, but they would be too slow ands too easy to dodge. So I need a gun that'll reach 40' in a line drive(no arch), extremely accurate, high velocity. It seems like a lot to ask, but i'm sure it's fairly attainable because I only need these requirements to hold true up to 40'. ROF doesn't really matter all that much.
