You need to beef up the catch spring with ANY spring upgrade. Get something beefy and chuck it in there. The stock catch plate will hold up to just about anything, I have never seen it break.

Edit: I also just realized that I accidentally necro'd this thread. Goes to show how often I use forums now, sorry. :U

This has been three years in the making. I present the Longshot Fleet.

Two NIC style Longshots. One is 18 KG and the other is 20.5 KG. Both are equipped with metal Worker internals and SCAR barrels. They shoot really fucking far at 180 to 210 fps.

One Superstock / Ultrastock Longshot. This one has the Jet Blasters Omni Kit installed in it and it has an 8 KG OMW spring. It shoots at about 125 to 150 fps.

The next three are HvZ Longshots. They all shoot at about 100 fps for optimal accuracy with Koosh and ACC darts in the stock breech. I chose to stick with the stock breech for feeding reliability. 

The next four are elite powered Longshots. This can be accomplished by simply removing the air restrictors. 

The last three are simply bone stock and are meant for awfuls rounds or for future builds. 

I should say that the only really "safe" melee weapons are Dagorhir spec weapons. They are designed to be used with full force and still not cause the person getting hit any real harm if you're not being completely stupid with them. I do use a Marauder when I go to MANO Wars, but I have permission to use one and that privilege can be taken away at any time should I ever swing with full force. 

TL;DR Don't use Nerf official melee weapons unless you can control your swings and people trust you with them. Those can hurt people if used with full force.

Put the finishing touches on my indoor / cqb / night time combat longshot. Specifically designed to shoot around 75-85 fps so it doesn't leave welts at close range. 

Multi-purpose crossbow. Has both a PVC and CPVC coupler for different barrels. It can shoot stefans, accept inline clips, rocket barrels, just about anything. It only has the stock spring because of superstock legality, but it chucks stefans well enough when I need it to. Right now it's equipped with its superstock front loading barrel and it has an adjustable sling.
