Dropped by my local Target today to pick up a different blaster on clearance and saw that the Xshot AEB was discounted even further down from 50% to 70%. I just picked this up earlier this week for $40 and thought that was a good deal. $24 for this is incredible.

I got a lot of positive feedback from the boxer pro mod kit I made, so I decided to make one for the vector pro. I wanted to keep it compact while still being more comfortable to shoulder. It features an adjustable stock, a riser with sights, a front grip, and a remodeled lever to lift the cover easier with the riser installed. I’ll likely be uploading these files to printables once I finalize some of the models if anyone is interested.

Found a Longshot 2.0 on clearance for $20 at Walmar,t (posed by my wife in first pic). Personally, I overall do like the new design better, but I do like the feel of the old Longshot's forward grip better. I do have an OG Longshot too I have modded (not pictured)

As a bonus, my wonderful wife picked me up a Thrasher yesterday (second pic). Not a fan of the fact the SCAR/BCAR from the MPP/either Longshot doesnt fit it, but I imagine someone will find a way to mod one in.

Moral of the story: find you a spouse who supports your hobbies!

This has got to be one of my better trips to the thrift store. Top to bottom, left-right, we got:

- The OG: Longshot in the NStrike color way. Definitely one to keep for the collection. The historical significance, and it feels just as fun to pick up and hold as it did back then.

- The New Kid: Elite 2.0 Turbine. As far as 2.0 goes this one's pretty solid imo and been looking for one to go with my Rapidstrike in terms of adding to the full auto blasters.

- A Classic: Hammershot. This has been my chase for a while now. To the point where I was almost considering buying a new one at (modern day) MSRP off Amazon. Clocked this right away when I went in, and it's in great condition!

- Certified Vintage Relic: Rapid Fire 20. Holy. I almost didn't recognize it at first. I thought it was a toy nailgun or power saw or something. I'm surprised the air bladder and spring piston mechanism is still working. Select fire doesn't quite work anymore, but it can definitely still single shot if you just tap the trigger. Not the best ergonomics but a full auto air-springer hybrid?! Couldn't pass on it.

- Legacy Piece: Vortex Lumitron (Praxis). Had the Firefly tech mag with a full 10 discs. I'm pretty sure the charging mechanism or the battery pay is broken/mouldy but this is a pretty cool find from a relatively short-lived series! Also my collection's only Vortex blaster!

Found an almost perfect secret shot last weekend

Really was not looking for anything but had to get these two

Looks like the "Dart Strom" is available on target. com for $99.99?

I noticed the listing last week and expected them to fix it before the sale went live.

Everything was under $15. I picked up the dart tag glasses because they were in a bag with the secret shot. The secret shot 2 does not hold air, I'll probably mod it later.

Amazon updated their listing from out of stock and not knowing if or when it will be back in stock to now temporarily out of stock and working on getting them. It's a slow go, but they're getting here... eventually 😅

When I try to fire it will fire maybe 1 or 2 times than the trigger will be able to be pulled but nothing will happen and after removing the stock attachment point the spring will spring back at me
I also have a upgraded cat gf spring in the blaster but it doesn’t seem to fix any of my problems

Message for the Mods, I humbly ask that you please leave this one up. I've searched extensively on google and on this forum/others and haven't found any relevant info regarding my specific question. Anything I find specifically is for converting it to half-length only and I want mine to do both, which is why I made the post in the first place. Not to mention any relevant info is from 5, 7, 9+ years ago and any new info would be very helpful! If you leave this one up I would really appreciate it!

So I just got my hands on a used (but very good condition) Modulus Longstrike CS-6, and I wanted to know if anyone knows a good way to get it to feed/fire half-length darts via the X-Shot Longshot magazine adapter. I tested it and the adapter fits into the magwell ​and the half dart magazines fit as well, but the bolt does get a little stuck towards the end of the bolt travel. I was able to feed and chamber a half dart but with the blaster being stock it obviously didnt shoot far (likely cause the dart post). Anyone have any recommendations or guides on how to let this blaster feed half darts and full darts using this method?

I recently built the silly butts breacher but had to take it apart because one of the drum springs got all screwed up. after taking the blaster apart I realized the tube was wiggling (as shown) and based on how the drum spring got messed up I think that the wiggly tube could be the culprit. does anyone know if this is normal or if I need to do anything to stop it from wiggling or maybe the tube was just cut wrong.
