Impressed by the Longshot
I figured I'd post a blaster pic...
Anyway, I'm really struck by how good this Longshot is for the price. Handling makes the thing fun to use despite only averaging about 135fps.
I did the barrel swap mainly so that I could add the BCAR. I don't see the internals holding up to a stronger spring without swapping them for metal. Once you've done that then you've got the shell to worry about. The blaster feels surprisingly solid but the shell is really thin.
You're viewing a single thread.
I just picked mine up the other day, kinda excited to start messing with it. Did you open yours completely or just take off the front end?
I opened it completely. I had to dremel the front end to fit the barrel. There are a lot of screws and a few fiddly bits but it's not bad at all to get apart.
I also tried removing the ratchet arm. It works, but I noticed that with it missing the trigger pulls the front prime back just enough that the blaster won't fire. Not a big deal if you push on the front grip, but still a nuisance.
Which mag adapter is that? Is it just a spring detent so you can pull it out without holding a lever?
