Yesterday I finally decided to install a LongStrike Immortal kit in one of my LongStrikes. (Thanks for supplying the raw materials Mojo). Coincidentally, yesterday I took delivery of a brand new Modulus LongStrike. So let me be one of the first to publish a high-res photo of the MLS internals.

Good news - it is indeed direct plunger. It also shoots on par with current Modulus and XD blasters. Velocities vary a bit, but it's consistently between 60 and 70 FPS, with 73 being the max. There are a few differences between the Modulus rerelease and the classic N-Strike version. Here's a quick rundown: First, there's a new shell screw in the front sling point - I guess that must have been a problem with the original version. Second, the plunger tube is completely redesigned and the Modulus has an actual plunger, very similar to blasters like the Retaliator. The rear retainer for the main spring is no longer screwed in. It simply seats over two posts and the shell holds it in place. The tac rail locks no longer have springs - they flex a little and the attachments just click in.

That second pic is all the parts removed and/or replaced by the OMW LongStrike Immortal kit. (Sorry, the sled in pictured backwards, my bad) It too converts the original LongStrike to direct plunger, with a much improved POM barrel, tube, and plunger. It also has a 5K and 7K spring. Guess which one I went with ? Duh.

The Immortal LS shoots very consistently between 114 and 118 FPS. The action is nice and smooth, however no more one-hand priming. It's everything the original LS should have been - a true sniper. It will be interesting to see what mod kits they come out with for the MLS. Potentially it could exceed the performance of the Immortal. Let's wait and see.
