X-shot Stealth mod *Write up*

I got this little guy at Kmart today for $9, I just loved the look and was dying to use the water gun feature on my sister.



Open it up, there are eight screw all in obvious locations. The screw ports are deep so the screws don't fall out which is nice.



There is a spring in the plunger tube, just take it out, you could probably use it in something else.
Drill out the AR's just like that of a NF, alternatively you can hammer them out with a screw driver like I did.





Now is the fun part...
Grab a pair of scissors and shove them down the barrel, twist them around until Petg can be squeezed in, you could also use 17/32 brass which would require less scissor twisting.

I used 16hr two part epoxy from the dollar store. It was $2.45.





I don't know how long what length is best but mine is about 5" - two of them are inside the original barrel.



Ranges using one of KillerBunny's amazing blue foam darts is about 50' flat and over the fence which is over 70' when angled.


I hope you liked this write up as much as I like shooting my sister.

One more close up picture of the internals.








*EDIT*

With the addition of sling shot rubber it seems to be shooting as hard as my C-836'ed NF.
This rubber can be purchased from Clark Rubber in a variety of strengths I chose the weakest one. (Back when I was into sling shots and very weak, I would recommend adding some reinforcements and a heavier rubber.)

Great Writeup Unknown you have done a great job keep up the great work.

That reminds me I better start doing some mods I have had free time I just havn't used oh well will have to get started.

I can't wait until you utilise this at the upcoming war :).

I will give you the honour of getting shot by it.

Pun is very punny, indeed.

Consider it added to the directory already.

I will give you the honour of being shot by my RSCB triple shot in the war :D. Just keep contributing when you can. Even if it's already been done before. The more modifications the better. See, prove to us that 12YO can do stuff like that. Basic is better than nothing.

hm.. .sling shot rubber. I suppose that mod goes beyond the X-s Stealth... when I'm out of uni assignments I'll go to Clark Rubber or something and grab more durable rubber bands mod material.

Q) Ooooo, a kitty cat, what are you doing there?

A) Looking at your ankle and wondering what it tastes like...

With all this honor flying at the next war the rest of us will keep our heads down.
Nice right up.

Oh man, this makes me want to get one so bad!!
hahaha...

Nice write-up, man.
That spring in the picture that you took out... Is that the AR spring?
If it is, that's HUGE. Does it help with giving the blaster a constant pressure stream?

Yeah, that spring is the AR spring. Well not really AR but plunger padding, it goes between the plunger head and the AR. I took it out to increase plunger travel and added a foam pad as padding.



As for pressure stream, I have no idea what that is, let alone weather or not the spring helps so I'll be no help there.

If your refering the the water gun part, then no there is no CPS (Constant pressure system?) and its basically a squirt gun.

Range test done using blue foam snap cap darts.

Flat:
50'+

Angled:
'Dunno - over the fence so around 70'+

Water gun:
2-3 Metres

I'm very pleased with these results, I'm sure you could squeeze some more out of it but I'm done for now.
It is now my favourite blaster and most used, home alone water fights are the best.

Yeah like you said. The spring that you took out is the 'padding'. It absorbs the impact of the plunger so that you don't need too put padding on the plunger lol.

However taking it out increases plunger travel significantly.

Yeah I can imagine so you would get more powa! Although, that's your choice whether you want the plunger in there or not lol.

Those ranges are still with the stock spring right?

Can't wait to mod mine now. They look way better than a nitefinder IMO

Stock spring with slingshot rubber equalling just a bit less than a C-836 in strength.

What were the ranges before the mod?

30', pretty decent for a stock gun. Same as a stock Nitefinder.

You can use the smaller spring as an addition to the stock spring which is shorter than the plunger tube. They are the same OD so they just sit on top of each other and will give more force.

The stock spring feels like it would be at least a 13kg load too which is pretty crazy.

Thanks, I'll try that, your talking about the spring in the plunger tube right?

Yeah

Looks pretty sweet, i reckon ill get one at some stage. Nice write up mate keep it up.

I just picked one of these up and was impressed that it gets 30'+ stock (flat). What really impressed me the most, though, was it only has a 1 inch draw!

They are pretty neat little guns but they have very weak internals specificity the plunger rod and screw ports.

Had I reinforced it BEFORE it broke it may have been a decent gun.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with it, MIG!

So what mods did you have when you broke it?

AR removal, Slingshot rubber addition, PETG barrel.

whoops. should've known, the pics are up everywhere in this thread.

I'll look into it when I get one of these, I'm guessing epoxy putty is the way to go but rubber bands to tend to keep the plunger rod from being straight, that could've contributed.

But with the other blasters in better prices I might go for others ATM.

Also I'm gonna say the drawback is a lot less because the shell is a bit bigger than the NF's

Gooni has reported that his plunger rod broke even without a spring replacement or rubber.

As for reinforcement I suggest some form of metal rod epoxy and putty.

Indeed I did, mine was just stock spring with ar and post removed with passed plunger head. I think it has to do with the lesser quality of the plastic they are made from. Also it was broken by my 13yo son, so it was not due to too much strength being used on the priming action.

Gooni.

Sorry to be late on this but I seem to have found a way to add more power, that "padding spring" can be added on to the plunger.
