anyone noticed the longshots look like a g11?

Would this work on a Recon CS-6? I can't find damn longshots ANYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY (of Australia, natch). GNGNG. This would look better if it was black, though. But that's just my opinion.

This wouldn't silence it. You're much better off opening it, and padding the moving parts with foam, since it's not the air, but the springs that makes the sound.

In the UK this makes the Longshot illegal :P
So unfortunately I can't try this without risking a hefty sentence for posession of a firearm. Dammit >.<

What makes this illegal? It does not silence the rifle at all. It is as if you have the front pistol attached to it.

the only way to silence a longshot would be to put some sort of padding inside it.

nice

You can still hear the sound when you shoot is but it makes it look cool. p.s. first to comment. ha ha

Mutant raider in reply to Mutant raiderJan 14, 2009. 6:25 PM

It does make it shoot farther a little bit

coooooooool.

MAVREV13 says: Mar 14, 2010. 3:01 PM

does it make the ls any more silent or is it just for looks.

The photographic quality is somewhat inferior to what I am expecting sorry Im so high-standard-izeded. :)

Are the couplings you are talking about the 2 pieces of PVC pipe in the picture?

Austin Rice (author) in reply to tron1o7Aug 10, 2009. 12:15 PM

Yes. If you go to a hardware store, they will know them as couplings. I do not suggest you use PVC pipe, because the coupling has a small ridge on the inside of it, which allows 2 different PVC pipes to be connected evenly throughout the coupling.

what happened to the but?

Austin Rice (author) in reply to bleachfeakApr 26, 2009. 6:23 PM

Oh...I took these pictures when I was in the middle of doing mods to the inside of the gun ;). You want to try taking the screws out/ putting them in the least amount of times as you possibly can. The threads on this gun strip fairly quickly. Same with the screw heads.
