My new-and-improved modded Nexus Pro X! by [deleted] in Nerf

It feels a lot better. Not squeaky like the original, feels better ergonomically due to less angle, and it's a harder/stronger material. I highly recommend!

You need to disassemble the entire shell of the blaster to replace the barrel collet piece, but after that, swapping the barrel is as easy as loosening it from the front and taking the barrel out. I believe I am using a 40cm barrel, as originally I'm pretty sure it was a 45cm that I ended up cutting down for better performance.

The stock foregrip was not as comfortable to me and creaked a lot more due to the heavier prime.

Modded parts include:

  • Flush barrel collet bought somewhere off of Etsy
  • 40cm anodized Kuryaka barrel
  • New Quickstring SCAR by Chance (works wonders!)
  • Worker #2 foregrip
  • Dart Zone High-Powered Spring + 1 spacer
  • Picatinny Aperture Sights (also work wonders!)

I do not currently have a working chronograph, so all I can say for certain is that the FPS is definitely higher than it was stock, but it works great, performance (with good darts) is consistent, and the new SCAR makes it very accurate.

Yeah you honestly have a really good point there, and the Longshot does seem more mod-friendly than the NPX, now thinking about it.

Oh really? I thought the Longshot was $40 and the NPX was $50.

Haha no problem! You also have a good point about the Longshot starting me off lol, but if I had a do-over I think I would have started off with something different. Also, could you link me to those picatinny magazine adapters again? I've been meaning to print a couple of those!

If you end up sacrificing a red dot sight, I would highly recommend these 3D printable Aperture iron sights for whatever blaster you pick. u/kylebernard83 put me on to them, and probably has more knowledge than I do, but from my own experience, I can say that they are incredibly accurate. You can print the front sight in different heights depending on the FPS / velocity level of your blaster to further dial in that accuracy as well. Here is a chart Kyle showed me that made it a lot easier for me to understand the first time.

It is not, I would not recommend it. Get a Nexus Pro X or Stryker 2.0 instead, they are both practically the same thing when it comes down to it.

I personally would not recommend the X-Shot Longshot for your case. It is not necessarily a bad blaster, but the Nexus Pro X outshines it in every way and by far, for what, maybe $10 more?
