  3. VersatileChicken,

    Well, i've already modded my Barrel Break with the usual AR Removals and aftermarket spring replacements.

    Although the Barrel Break's plungers are smaller and springs are shorter than the Recon, my initial modded results so far seem to be on par with similiarly modded Recons, so i guess the internal parts size differences didn't translate to as much of a power difference as expected.

    The effectiveness of a Barrel Break is mainly in its 2 shot feature, so i guess it could be a useful sidearm in that aspect.

  4. MindWArrior,

    I guess it could be possible, there is quite a fair bit of space in the plunger chambers.

    Though if its going to be converted into an air-tank powered blaster to do the same thing... imho, might as well use the original air-tank blaster instead. :)

  5. Looking at the internals, it seems that the Barrel Break would have the power equivalent of a Nerf Maverick.

  6. From experience of firing this blaster , the right barrel seems to have less power than the left. Is this just me?

  7. S3 Labour,

    Both barrels should have the same power and range.

    If you find that one of the barrels seems to have less power than the other, then its simply a faulty unit and should be quickly exchanged at the store for a new working unit.

  8. Out of curiosity which aftermarket springs did you use? Or what specs are they if I have to have them made. (if you haven't guessed it, I am in the States).

  9. Hitokirikai,

    The customised aftermarket springs i use are usually similar in overall dimensions to stock springs (so they can fit properly), but with thicker spring wires and higher spring loads.

    If you want to custom make aftermarket springs, simply bring along the stock springs and plungers to the spring manufacturing companies, so that you can do proper comparisons and test fittings.

  10. Is it possible to remove the air restrictor without destroying the dart peg?

  11. shingelz,

    Doesn't seem possible, but you can try to see if you can somehow cut or drill out the AR while still keeping the dart post intact.

    Do update us if you manage to do it.

  12. Oscar,

    Nope, i'm not planning to post a Mod Guide on the Nerf Barrel Break.

  13. The Barrel Break isn't a half bad weapon if you remove the ARs. Even without SG Nerf's legendary Mod Guides, it's pretty easy to do yourself.

    When you open up the Barrel Break, the left plunger asssembly is right there. You can easily just take it out and drill out the AR. To get the right plunger, you simply remove an orange panel that separates the two plungers components. Then you drill out that one and put it all back together. The range improvement on the Barrel Break after this is considerably noticable!

  15. I have tried to mod this gun, it is the easiest mod besides the most basic pistols!

  16. I found how to remove the AR without removing the post. On accident.

    Basically, all you have to do is drill until you notice a sudden large discharge of particularly fluffy orange plastic shavings out of the plunger end (drilling from the plunger end). Remove the drill bit and you'll see that you stopped drilling just before taking out the post.

  17. Also, is it possible to achieve a "rifled" spiral effect by twisting the dart post? I tried this in one of the barrels, but the darts move too fast for me to see if this has any effect.

  18. redfish,

    Well, the foam darts are not really designed to spin in flight, the foam material is basically too soft and inconsistent to be able to achieve the desired effect efficiently.

  19. when removing an AR,wouldnt the dart just fall out of the barrelwhen aimed down?

    1. LSFGspectre,

      In blasters, the air restrictors (AR) are situated behind the foam darts (at the back section of the bolt). When they are removed they don't affect the fit of the foam darts... the foam darts still sit snugly in the bolts and will not drop out.

  20. How many screws are there in the Barrel Break? Because I want to open mine up, but it won't budge.

    1. Devin Foulkrod,

      I've not tested other springs for the Barrel Break so far... but i guess you could just check directly worth OMW and see which springs they recommend for it.

  23. How come nobody has thought of adding or modding the OUTER barrel? I mean, you'd think somebody would have designed a barrel cover with PVC to account for the weight balance. That's the biggest concern is having to use both hands to open it.

  24. hello,
    would it be possible to use the recon cs-6 spring in a barrel break? according the comparison photo it seems so.
    thanks
