Triple-Shot w/ turret, Quad Alu barrels - the Chaos way

No chat, lets rock!

1. Get a triple-shot out & take it apart,

2. It should look like this;

3. I added a Longshot spring over the top of the stock one, the c836 apparently can't be added as they're too thin. Confirmed.
I don't know for sure though.

4. Get the turret

5. Open that shit up, there's 4 screws on the back.
You can throw away the middle section. It's not needed, but if you want to use it you've got some serious dremelling to do!

6. Cut out enough hole space for for your barrels on the front of the turret.

7. Grab your barrel materials, I used 20cm of Alu, 16mm (I think :|) I got it by the metre from bunnings.

8.Wrap the ends in a little tape & they'll fit perfectly in the 3 little grooves.
That's the lazy way but it works well.
My tape is 10mm sports strapping tape but a bunch of e-tape should work well though.

9. Like so, repeat as needed.

10. Put it back together & align those barrels so they're straight. I used the plastic roll of the aforementioned strapping tape.
It's not shown in any of the photos but I left it inside the turret. (I'll put up a photo later)
I also had a bunch of couplers lying around, they work just as well.

11. Win


It hits my back fence flat from 20m away. I think it hits harder than my longshot, so I think it has better ranges.

I've fixed the catch also, like this.
You have to undo that screw first. Cheers Tom!

@ the ramrod-phobes - Since the catch is fixed, I can just blow the darts down the barrels without the fear of accidental Kurt-Cobaining.
Haven't range tested it. The catch is a bit dodgey, it sometimes fires without a touch. Scary Stuff.

Nice! I'm thinking of getting one of these but can I ask what length alu did you have? Hey you should probably put that in the first post ^^.

You have this amazing way of making mods easier than they should be. Thanks Tony, think I'll do it your way. I was about to do it Tom's way but I really wanted to keep the turret. I'm also going to try drilling holes behind the turret so I can rear-load, I'll let you know how that turns out.

Where do you get your alu? Also why does everyone keep the top piece of the turret. I rekon it looks cool without the top bit of the turret.

Because it adds extra stability to the barrels. Anyway, I'm doing this with PETG. Thanks for the write up dude.

Bunnings or Home Hardware both stock the 16mmx1mm Alu tube

People keep the top piece to stabilise their barrels.. unless you buy the gravity defying Alu, but that's more expensive....

Also chad if you try rear loading holes you need to do a whole bunch of work to improve the seal, as it needs to seal around a 13-14mm area instead of the current.. 3-4mm diameter current rear holes

Edit: PETG is only good for this gun if you use stock based darts or informers foam, as this gun seems to have flow issues (such large plunger tube into tiny space), from all of my testing it hates tight barrels, you want medium fit.

Alright, thanks Aj, I was planning on using CDDT's or whatever you want to call them.

Yes I saw this a mod of this gun done with an improved seal on nerfhaven. He took out the little white original seal and replaced it with a bit of brass and a washer. It's loads more work I know but I refuse to use a ramrod.

Then PETG will be great

yeah that's the theory behind it, in application it is much harder. Both Roger and 'splosionman tried to get rear loading working, and hey look, they have singled Triple shots now

Also selling a LS spring, chex my thread yo

Would 9/16th Brass work the same as Alu?

I spent ages on that seal, but for some reason the gun just sucked. When I blew through the barrels it was a perfect seal to the plunger tube, but it still sucked. I think it had something to do with the rotation of the turret not aligning it properly.

The alignment for turrets work perfectly... what failed for me is my shit mod job on the barrels because I used hot glue but i put the hot glue in AFTER I placed the barrels in, which was a dumb idea because if you blow the barrel down lightly, you can't hear any air leakage, but if you blow ULTRA hard you can hear it...

Another way I tested for the dart was air tight was I put the my finger behind the barrel and pushed the dart in. I should of felt continuous pressure when the dart slid in (because that's how air tight PVC DWV 16mm Pipes are), but instead it the air 'leaked' out of the seals, which sucks.

If you want like extreme power with the plunger tightness, use a bit of tape and you'll be fine. (E-Tape is good like Roger did). although what I might do is cut the barrels off (since it's hot glued into place) and replace the pipes by connecting 12mm Alu Tube to connect with the 16mm PVC pipe.

But yeah I think if you mod it right, it'll be good.

Sorry for the lack of detail, I kinda rushed it because I was at work.

That's because I only do simple mods. I haven't got the skills or patience to do anything more complicated.

Yeah, That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to stuff it up. I've bought a 2nd triple-shot to do that to.
So if I stuff up, it just means that I've got spare parts for my good triple shot & an extra spring to go in my longshot.
