They also achieve longer ranges due to a better balanced design.<br /><br />Installing a stronger spring is the most effective way to increase range as that is the primary source of power for a direct plunger system. <br /><br />You could just do the other minor mods and still use the stock spring, but the performance gains will not be as significant.SG Nerfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136329934823654372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872518359543654640.post-84939812889936657022013-07-13T20:35:32.698+08:002013-07-13T20:35:32.698+08:00I'm interested in modifying my Longshot, but I...I'm interested in modifying my Longshot, but I'm a little bit concerned.

This result was about 120 feet flat, 150 feet angled, best range around 165-180 feet. Using elite darts it is quite accurate to those ranges, usually a couple feet off the target or almost directly on. With streamlines, it is some times fifty feet off the target at those far ranges! Yesterday though, the back of my plunger that is screwed to the casing, one of the parts that is screwed down broke, I plan on backing it up a plate of wood.
