What I like about the blaster
The blaster is very comfortable for me as an adult (176cm). The battery bay is large which gives potential for for a lot of mods/ battery packs. There's plenty of space for an Arduino which would open up lots of new features such as 3 round burst mode, leds, ammo counters etc.

I like the grip and the triggers they are all very nice once lubed up with teflon. I replaced my trigger spring with a slightly firmer spring i had but that is just my personal preference. The stock springs are pretty dammned nice in the first place.



What I don't like about the Blaster.
In stock form the CS-18 is kinda whimpy especially when compared to the springers like the Retaliator. And with 4 C batteries it is HEAVY!. The semi auto thing also jams a lot which is very annoying. But a LiPo mod and the semi auto delete fixes all those so i dont really care much about that. And the batteries last a whole day and more.



My Conclusion
This blaster is rad. With multiple magazines this thing is a beast. In stock form however its pretty soft with a very low rate of fire like 2-3 darts per second. And C batteries are pretty dammned expensive.

Hey Buddy,
At the very least you could take out the air restrictors (A.R) and seal up the plunger tube with 2 part epoxy. The plunger tube would benefit from some good rubbing with silicon grease or teflon grease to increase the seal.

You would need a dremel to remove the A.R completely. Thats how i do it anyway. These mods don't require any expensive "performance parts" and should give you some noticeable gains. Also throw away the barrel. It only reduces range. You can also take out all of the stupid safetys inside while you are at it as well.

Cheers

Hey Buddy,
If you do not trust yourself to do the mods for the Longstrike I am more than happy to do it for you. You can PM or call (numbers in my signature) me for the details. And put a sick ass paint job while we are at it

Dont think a springer can do this.

The semi auto feature on the rapidstrike jams a lot which is very annoying.

My solution: Rewire for full auto only, throw in a 7.4v LiPo and call it a day.
