I was lucky enough to get a Sonic Ice Centurion new from TRU at half-price on sale: $39.95 (?) CAD down from $79.99. I was so moved by the pretty transparent blue finish that I decided to tweak this thing to the max. So far, that has only meant removing the barrel and mag locks. Later I also got a nice used red one in a cheap bundle and unlocked the barrel on that one also.

Unfortunately, both my Centurions seemed to get a little weaker over time. Today I finally got around to doing an A-B comparison between my red Centurion and my Buzz Bee Tyrant. As I suspected, the Tyrant totally kicks the Centurion's butt in power and range. I really don't want to discard either of these majestic beasts, but unless I can bring them up to the Tyrant standard I have less and less reason for them to to take up valuable space in my house. Knowing what I do now, I'm so glad I didn't spend more on them.

Has anybody succeeded in increasing power on this model? Maybe spring and breech work?
