Did a quick n' dirty mod to my Cycloneshock which costs less than the equivalent Worker kit and is arguably more efficient.



Has your Cycloneshock grown boring? CPVC and electrical tape to the rescue! Without actually hauling out that old measuring tape, I can say that there are some great launches; however, half the time the Elite-sized darts are fishtailing right out of the muzzle. Ergo, serious power. The telltale THWACK upon dry-fire shows that the AR is effectively cancelled with these inserts present. Also, instead of that Worker tool with which you have to laboriously screw out the adaptors, just yank with a set of needle-nosed pliers! Presto change-o...

Full disclosure: It has been an interesting round of trial-and-error to find exactly how much E-tape is necessary to secure those tubes. Several times they self-ejected during firing - LOL! Also, real Nerf arts and ACC types front-load fine, but FVJ's (which are the bulk of my ammo) are very tight. Kooshes even more so. Normally I like things like that 😜 but from the effort of squeezing things into such a tight space, the FVJ shafts often crumple and go limp. 😞 UPDATE: I have discovered other people's CycloneShock mods where holes are cut into the frame just behind the cylinder, allowing the chambers to be rear-loaded. Time to dig out the ol' dremel again!

I would also mention that I FINALLY modded the first two of my now six Stampedes! Removed AR's (boy, what a process without a long drill bit), Teflon-taped O-rings, stronger springs from Blastersmiths UK, 4x eFests plus 2x dummies... But without an accompanying video to clearly show the inprovement in performance, I'm sure the report would put people to sleep, so hopefully more on that later. I will say that it helped to print out a screw map (visible in the above photo backgrounds, and below in the foreground) to keep track of the fasteners. I taped mine to cardboard and poked holes so I could keep the screws in their respective locations, right in the map.
