That's kind of where I was headed. A Longshot plunger tube is considerably larger than a Nitefinder. Which means there's more volume and more space for a spring. And in this case, bigger IS better.

The Nitefinder has the advantage of not having a complicated breech. All the force of the spring/plunger/air is directed into the barrel and onto the dart. But the Nitefinder plunger tube is much smaller, and therefore the spring needs to be smaller too.

As soon as A23er mentioned the Nitefinder, my head went to the Firestrike. The venturi choke mod is much more effective than a brute force spring mod on a Nitefinder. Trust me, I've done both. The venturi can channel all the force of the air into the barrel, resulting in much better performance. There's no way to do that effectively with a Nitefinder.

So while I applaud A23er's effort, and sincerely wish him luck, I think the NIC class Nitefinder is a Unicorn. Or maybe a Chupacabra. In any event, I hope his modded Nitefinder is a beast too 😁
