Modding the X-Shot Pro Longshot

Figured I'd open up the X-Shot Pro Longshot and just see what i could throw in it to make it better. Here are the results.

It’s so refreshing to see that big mainstream toy brands acknowledge half darts’ existence

You saved my ass! I took this thing apart, put it back together again and discovered I had two left over screws, Ikea style, I couldn't for the life of find a home for. I completely missed two hidden in the stock. Every other mod vid I found skipped right over the screws/opening, thanks!

there's actually a screw on the other side of the priming bar allowing you to remove the ratchet assembly without cutting!

[godeatsbagels]

So unless i'm mistaken, those two pegs at the front are a kind of quick release barrel/spring access, and the little screw on the inside you unscrew to slide out the prime assembly, can be accessed from the outside shell, meaning you can probably quickly throw in a spring upgrade if that's all you were after, though the front piece would still need dremeling to allow a longer barrel to pass through. I saw foamdemic has a replacement front assembly, which is probably what i'll get to make barrel and spring swapping easier. Nice vid!

Awesome video and thanks for the links for the mods you made. I am going to have to do this to mine as well. I absolutely love this blaster and can't put it down!

I got mine to hit 290-300fps pretty consistently with all the available metal upgrades. My barrel is 450mm. My spring is an 18kg+something from my bin that fits perfectly around the barrel. The darts that can hit 300ish fps pretty consistently are the standard red DZ darts. The prime is too strong for me to do it one handed, so it isn't war practical, but it's just for plinking so that's ok.

That's a big improvement. Thanknyou for the video.

Hi there. I have found that the ratchet mech lever doesn't need to be removed by snips. The orange rod is joined in the middle by a screw. Take it out the blaster turn it over and take out screw to slide the ratchet off.

Sick mod! Can't wait to get mine. Also ordered a Kuryaka barrel and an sf25. Gonna get the Foamdemic collet, a new grip, and gotta find a good PT replacement.

Internally, this thing is pretty solid. Once you remember the TINY little arm that pushes on the dart ISNT a load-bearing part, it's rather solid, like most of x-xhots offerings. If only they'd beef up the

where I live (Brazil) we don't get many brands of dart blaster only nerf and xshot so I am exited to see if the long shot will be released here.

Can you do a video on how to remove a bullet jammed in there? 😂

[thehopelesspragmatic]

Can a X-Shot Longshot Pro survive a K25 spring? It seem like some of plastic internals would eventually give way.

[baconsboi]

Are we not gonna talk about how messy his desk is?

[chrisnewby]

That’s going to fire wonky with a cut spring with 1 missing flat surface.😊

[concretepie]

Is the blaster's grip compatible with AR grips? Could you test if it works with angled talon mags? Those are the mags I use on my retalicon and it would be good if both blasters could share the same mags. thanks GimsMods Great content as usual!!

[allengolwitzer]

With the internals exposed it kinda looks like the KSG shotgun from black ops

[randomguyfournineseven]

Do you know why it has the ratcheting system? Also, with the ratcheting system removed, could you prime it twice? If so, how hard is it to reprime?

[MrFreefonix]

I wouldnt have used a straight up k25, i wouldve got the easy prime k25s to ensure the blaster doesnt break

[cactioperator]

Great video! Did you use the plain or chambered barrel? Also, does the toy creak a lot?
