So here's something strange. For anyone familiar with the innards of the StrongArm, you already know that the plunger, tube, and cylinder advance mech is a single module that can easily be removed in one piece. I had such a module hanging around from the time I removed the AR and wasn't happy with the performance.

Well, I installed that old plunger tube with the missing AR in the new "StrongShot", and to my surprise it works pretty darn well. Even with a stock spring. So now I'm scratching my head. Why did it perform so poorly when it was in a StrongArm with a full shell. And what has changed in the minimized StrongArm that would promote better performance ?

Crazy theories and conspiracies welcome.
