This is a recent quick-and-dirty mod job I just finished.

- Mostly stock Mega Bigshock with added OMW Roughcut upgrade spring. I popped the top of the plunger assembly to get at the spring. In the process I replaced the flat retaining pin with a screw, and also rotated the plunger rod so the handle would match my altered Triads.

- Initially I tried to use OMW's Retaliator and Rampage upgrade spring which is also listed as fitting Bigshock. But I discovered it was too long, and pre-loading into the tube was wayyyy too difficult IMHO. So I chose a shorter Roughcut spring I happened to have lying around and have not regretted it.

- Speedloaders are eight-inch lengths of 1/2-inch CPVC tubing joined in pairs with electrical tape. Fits snugly into the barrel with eight layers of same tape at each end. Two separate strips improve stability.

- In my experience, one normally loads darts into the front of the tube, but this beast has enough punch to push from the back. Rear-loading is cool!

- No range testing or FPS measurement, but it kicks big-time with both Elite and Mega darts! 😁 Both priming and triggering are higher-effort, but well worthwhile.
