#NERF ZOMBIE STRIKE LONGSHOT MOD#

Part of me wants to waste more money on an accutrooper or an elite alpha trooper if I can find one in good nick before I start spending money on nerf mod kits but it's all down to what I find and when realistically.The Phoenix is a small battery-operated semi-automatic flywheel blaster, similar to blasters such as the Stryfe. I've picked up 2 stryfe's 2 rapidstrikes a longstrike (Whiteout edition) a crossbolt and a slingfire I also picked up some partially modded stuff with the whiteout longstrike but it was still cheaper overall than buying anywhere else and I got a bunch of bonus mags etc which is nice. I've picked up one of the nerf chronobarrels so I can get a rough idea of the FPS it wont be perfect but I didn't want to spend the money for a proper chrony just yet and it was a much cheaper solution. I've also picked up some other stuff that I plan to mod down the line but no further updates on the longshot really till next pay probably.

Yea the spring arrived which is a nice start even if it's not quite as powerful as it's supposed to be it should be better than stock I might rig something up to test what I can get out of it.Īt least it could be useful as a test spring to make sure the reinforcements are decent enough before I get the full spring load in it. I have some idea's for shell reinforcement so if they work out as well or better than intended then I might proceed to move it over to an old school one. I'm hoping it being brand new will be the best platform to use to avoid damage from a preowned one causing issues with the heavy strain on the shell or general plastic decay of an old school Longshot.

If things don't work with this one due to some weird incompatibility with mods (So far as I'm aware most if not all internals should be interchangeable) or I don't like the new one so much I can always get a second hand Longshot.

So far the shell has arrived I got a Zombie Strike Longshot new in box for the build ($70 so not too much damage.).

In the early days of planning for this build I was considering looking at alternate materials or coating the barrel with teflon or BAM(More slippery than teflon and super tough but I couldn't find a price and I doubt it's really all that easy to obtain) something to reduce friction but I think the cost for benefit is pretty low.

I think I need to do some more research on different breech types but initially this seems like point 6 will make me more likely to end up with a brass breech unless I have things totally wrong. (I feel like this may cost more than the rest of the work I'm doing on the gun).ħ/8. Yea I'm hoping to figure a way to calculate the ideal barrel length and get something custom made if possible. I haven't purchased any mod kits yet I'm trying to figure out a way to basically comprehensively replace every potentially damageable internal component with something stronger so I'll have to mark that down.

Bugger I found one for a cheap price and wasted my money by the sounds of things but live and learn I'll have to try the stackable 10 KG springs when I start ordering further parts down the line.

The crossbow crank is precisely for the heavy prime people have complained about heavier spring loads basically causing RSI with repetitive shooting so hoping it will negate this and let me put stupid spring loads without worrying about the pump (just the internals which I hope to replace nearly entirely)ģ/4.

I think it's just easier to address this from the points. The sources I've been looking at are below if anyone's interested basically a list of mod kits and other stuff related to longshot modding none of the mod kits are purchased at this time as I kinda want to replace every internal possible with metal parts.

#NERF ZOMBIE STRIKE LONGSHOT HOW TO#

So far I've had trouble sourcing anything more than a 22kg spring apart from possibly the ace hardware #69 spring or the nerf turf 26KG spring which appears to be out of stock.Īlso wondering if anyone knows how to roughly calculate ideal barrel length. I'll most likely replace most of the internals and reinforce the shell so it won't blow up on me and hoping I can get more than a 30KG spring for it somehow. I've been looking at other peoples experiences with heavy springs on longshots I was wondering if anyone had tried to use a crossbow crank as a means of priming a Longshot or any nerf gun really. I'm looking at doing heavy modification to a zombie strike Longshot (Basically trying to get it above 300FPS).
