A Longshot CS-6's plunger tube.
A plunger tube is an internal part found on most non-electric blasters.
Details[]
A plunger tube works differently in both types of plungers. On a direct plunger, it cases the plunger head, O-ring, plunger rod, and spring, and has a small hole, this hole leads to where the dart is loaded. On a reverse plunger, it acts as an air reservoir, when the blaster is being fired, it releases itself onto the smaller plunger tube.
Turnaround plunger tube[]
Some community-made blasters have the plunger tube backwards, while a piece of plastic tubing redirects air into the breech. This is known as a turnaround plunger tube.
