I did these mods to mine (a little less clean though, i was only focusing on functionality) and now I love it even more than I did before. These mods turn this gun into an absolute monster! Thanks for the guide!
i stil use the mega darts but if you insert an elite dart into the back of them it works a little better this of course means you have to remove the barrel posts
I just disassembled my cycloneshock. It is a new one. I can't fully detach the plunger from the orange head that the O-ring fits around. Any tips? It almost seems like the white piece that the springs fits around is glued to the orange head. Has anyone else had this problem?
How much of that range pick up is do to the AR vs the spring? I have a MSC apart for painting right now, and it looks like removing the restrictor would be pretty simple.
I bought this gun modded and I love it. I wanted to do a similar thing with the CPVC In the single shot pistol that comes with nerf tech target board. What size PVC is used in the mod?
About to mod my Cycloneshock I just got about twenty minutes ago. Wanted to know, Drac, would it be safe for to take drill and just run it straight down through the barrel if I don't plan on using the 1/2 inch pvc barrel mod, or do I need to keep the cross beam and just twist out the peg? Thanks!
Implying the berserker is going to be flywheel powered. Rebarreling is going to do jack shit. But maybe it will be a traditional springer or a motorized springer
Hey Drac, I went all over my local Home Depot and couldn't find the right size tubes. Wether it didn't fit in the gun, or the bullet wouldn't fit snugly. What store did you purchase them at?
LordDraconical, considering how easy/hard it was for you to do this you should seriously consider starting a small business overhauling nerf guns. Nice job.
I had an idea what if you take the top part off and cut a longshot barrelattachment in half length ways and attach it to the top of the cyclone to give it a longer barrel
was it really necessary to shrink the barrels down to elite size rather than mega? i mean regular elite springer pistols exist. seems like all it really needed was a spring upgrade and maybe that one little lock removed
I did it using duct tape wrapped around the pvc, (I had to make a few cuts to remove a layer in certain spots to make it fit with the taper of the chambers) and left the nubs that held the posts for backstops for the barrels. That way, I get a nice, snug fit, but I can whip out my multitool and yank the barrels out to use the megas when I want to. The problem is that the elite darts just can't handle the power and fly all over. Any reccomendation? I'm thinking about buying some red koosh darts, (so I can tell them apart from the others) and I'm wondering if they'll work better. I might take the spring out and try to find a replacement somewhere like Fastenall or something.
So Ive seen that cpvc is really good for nerf darts as well as blow pipes for nerf battles, it got me thinking that when people angel breach longshots, why not just use cpvc instead of brass? is it because you need something as strong as brass to work in such a way and cpvc will just cripple itself, or is it something more? Im kinda stupid with nerf, but just something im wondering
Brass also creates less friction on the dart as it exits the clip / plunger base than with PVC. Foam on PVC is never a good combo, except with a turret rebarrel, then you need a fair amount of it.
Would it be possible to remove the pseudo barrel and front turret holder? I really hate how the thing needs to be rotated to reload it. (It also might look a bit more interesting)
Hey Drac, would you know why my Cycloneshock makes a hissing noise when I reprime it... only after firing? It's making it difficult to use as I'm not the strongest person and this is probably showing up in other Cycloneshock models.
Drac please do amod guide for the Magnus, I'm looking to paint one up for a cosplay but I'd really like to be able to upgrade the internals while i already have it apart!
I know that my question probably won't get answered, but could you tell me what was done to "tweak the catch?" I want to mod mine like this but with an Orange Mod works Elite Alpha Trooper 5+ Kg spring instead of the normal Elite Alpha Trooper Spring, and I'm afraid that the catch won't hold up. Could someone advise me on what to do?
Your probably going to need to look for a metal catch or brass inserts so the catch propelled by the spring doesn't litterally rip the internals to shreds. You also might need a new trigger.
With the spring addition or a replacement, does it, or do you think it will suffer from the same issues as the Strongarm upgrade spring where it (well, with one of mine) completely sheared off the tabs on the slide for priming it? The Strongarm no longer primes, but I have been told it is a common issue when upgrading the spring, the tabs just can't take it. I was advised to reinforce the slide tabs with something to prevent them snapping off, you have any ideas?
Hey man nice work. I love live in The Bahamas and was wondering how much you would charge to mod a few cyclones for me, price per gun. I wanna start nerf battles with my family and we like going extreme. I'd like to mod them myself but supplies would be hard to find ESPECIALLY clear cpvc. Let me know if you'd be interested. thanks
Hi Drac, I was hoping you or somebody else could help me. I added an additional spring to my blaster, but since I reassembled it I've had issues with the rotation mechanism. At first it was locked in place. I got it rotating again, but it's unreliable. I think it has something to do with the locks.
*IMPORTANT* hey drac, i know you will not see this or care this but if you do, can i want something for you to do because im not so rich etc and i cant mod i am scared. So i just wanted to ask if you could change Mega Cycloneshock and Doomlands Lawbringer cyclinders and so it will make Cycloneshock a Non-Mega cyclindered shotgun maybe. Please answer and thanks :)
Drac I was taking mine apart and I saw the plunger head is glued to the plunger rod with pipe cement. I was thinking about boiling it but idk. Any advice. I'm really mad I just bought this blaster to mod it and now I can't beef up the spring! Oh BTW the way drac very nice work.
I had difficulty getting the small screw off to remove the plunger. I simply just opened the end of the spring and unscrewed it off the "T". It literally took a couple of minutes to remove the spring, put it back on, (I realized I didn't need it removed) and added another spring from the "T" end.
I am interested in doing a pretty extensive mod on the cycloneshock. I wanted to rework the barrel to load from the rear, and make the whole blaster breach loaded, like the sledgefire, only without the shells. (and still firing mega darts) I'm not an experienced nerf modder by any means, but I know enough to know that such a mod would require extensive edits to the shell and internal components. Because you know more about modding than I do, in your opinion, how possible would a mod like this be?
The cylinder is not designed to drop out. Unless you make major shell cuts that would expose the internals or jerry-rig a maverick or strongarm drop mech onto it rear-loading is impossible. The pump grip isn't a bad idea, No idea how it would work on a pistol though.
Gibby Ethridge It only needs a slight shell cut on the left of the drum. Psych made it rear-loading and it works great. I plan to rebarrel and rear-load mine using stefans.
Hey there lorddraconical I love this blaster I'll be picking mine on payday loving this mod can you help out with a simple video on how to just remove the ar not so much worried about re-barreling just want to up the power as a mega blaster. Much love russell
Yo Drac, I've been subbed to you for a while but earlier today, a channel by the name of The Modern Rogue made a video about modding blasters, and gave you a shoutout! commenting on this vud because this was the video they used.
RIP to anyone who stopped after the tutorial part and was wondering why the fuck their trigger was stuck Thanks for waiting till the end during the test firing to be like "oh yeah by the way if you take out the white plastic thing you have to do another step or your gun wont function"
How about you actually watch my videos. Ive said it many times. I dont post it in text in order to avoid spiders picking it up and spamming it. Do some homework before you ask things.
There's no going back from here guys, this mod changes pistol rounds forever.
Drac nice work I think take it to one war and film it. Its going to be funny. Good work drac. This content is what I want too see
Ever considered re barreling a centurion to shoot elites
Drac, for 100,00 subscribers can you do a face reveal?
like the terminator told ya email him
Can't wait to see you under mount one of these like the magnus in either mega darts or standard
I did these mods to mine (a little less clean though, i was only focusing on functionality) and now I love it even more than I did before. These mods turn this gun into an absolute monster! Thanks for the guide!
I'd really like a version of this where you go through everything at the 101 level. You skip so much in your tutorials that I can't follow along.
I know it’s about a year late but if you’re looking for a more in-depth mod guide id suggest this
ua-cam.com/video/r3QAsDpQ3NE/v-deo.html
Ikr
i stil use the mega darts but if you insert an elite dart into the back of them it works a little better this of course means you have to remove the barrel posts
You cut out alot of the main bits from the video like the re-barreling.
Congrats on 80,500 subs :)
Who is here from the modern rogue?
i am! i was already subbed to drac but its nice to see thats where he got his insperation and idea from :p
Soccerboss000 I think the modern rouge did a better job of showing the upgrades then drac did lol
Yep--guilty as charged--but I am here for official work purposes
Me
MEEEEEE
I have only 1 question if we don't change the spring then while elite bullets work ?
Would it still be a good idea to remove the air restrictor, when keeping the mega darts and not converting to elite?
Yep
I just disassembled my cycloneshock. It is a new one. I can't fully detach the plunger from the orange head that the O-ring fits around. Any tips? It almost seems like the white piece that the springs fits around is glued to the orange head. Has anyone else had this problem?
How much of that range pick up is do to the AR vs the spring? I have a MSC apart for painting right now, and it looks like removing the restrictor would be pretty simple.
Good job, It's awesome!
And you are one crazy modder.
Anyone else have issues with the slide not returning properly after spring upgrade?
Do I need to upgrade the little return spring too?
I bought this gun modded and I love it. I wanted to do a similar thing with the CPVC In the single shot pistol that comes with nerf tech target board. What size PVC is used in the mod?
After this mod my trigger is know longer functions and it is jammed
About to mod my Cycloneshock I just got about twenty minutes ago. Wanted to know, Drac, would it be safe for to take drill and just run it straight down through the barrel if I don't plan on using the 1/2 inch pvc barrel mod, or do I need to keep the cross beam and just twist out the peg? Thanks!
A rebarreled Berserker is going to be godly...
I am definitely getting my hands on this blaster as soon as I can to do this insanity to it :D
Implying the berserker is going to be flywheel powered. Rebarreling is going to do jack shit. But maybe it will be a traditional springer or a motorized springer
Hey Drac, I went all over my local Home Depot and couldn't find the right size tubes. Wether it didn't fit in the gun, or the bullet wouldn't fit snugly. What store did you purchase them at?
BlueTheFeed its half inch cpvc and you wrap electric tape around the barrel
LordDraconical, considering how easy/hard it was for you to do this you should seriously consider starting a small business overhauling nerf guns. Nice job.
He does do it as a small business.
im sad cause I accidentally broke my pump rod :(
UPDATE: I got it fixed :D
how did you fix it lol
Awesome drac, made it really powerful :D
Is there a video filling in the gaps for the parts of the mod that were edited out?
I had an idea what if you take the top part off and cut a longshot barrelattachment in half length ways and attach it to the top of the cyclone to give it a longer barrel
was it really necessary to shrink the barrels down to elite size rather than mega? i mean regular elite springer pistols exist. seems like all it really needed was a spring upgrade and maybe that one little lock removed
What is the outside diameter of the cpvc? I have PVC that will hold the small darts, but won't fit in the turret
Sweet mod! I'll have to try this myself :D
***** Sadly, I don't actually have this blaster yet D:
How ‘bout now?
i mistakingly trimmed that plastic cross stopper thing in the plunger tube. i did this along with the air restrictor, did i mess up my mega cyclo?
I like the doomsayer reference, good times.
I did it using duct tape wrapped around the pvc, (I had to make a few cuts to remove a layer in certain spots to make it fit with the taper of the chambers) and left the nubs that held the posts for backstops for the barrels. That way, I get a nice, snug fit, but I can whip out my multitool and yank the barrels out to use the megas when I want to.

I might take the spring out and try to find a replacement somewhere like Fastenall or something.
Weird to glimpse the era before waffle heads.
Is there a way to make the cycloneshocks turret to work like the strongarms where it pops out that would be awesome
So Ive seen that cpvc is really good for nerf darts as well as blow pipes for nerf battles, it got me thinking that when people angel breach longshots, why not just use cpvc instead of brass? is it because you need something as strong as brass to work in such a way and cpvc will just cripple itself, or is it something more? Im kinda stupid with nerf, but just something im wondering
pvc is way too thick yo make a working breach in the Longshot
Brass also creates less friction on the dart as it exits the clip / plunger base than with PVC. Foam on PVC is never a good combo, except with a turret rebarrel, then you need a fair amount of it.
Would it be possible to remove the pseudo barrel and front turret holder? I really hate how the thing needs to be rotated to reload it. (It also might look a bit more interesting)
What was the sizing in the cpvc?
Dis dik 😏😏
Its Moe
That's... really small.
1/2 inch CPVC
LordDraconical thanks. Looking forward to doing this re-barrel
LordDraconical 0.625 outside diameter? Or does the pipe not fit snug in the barrel?
what size screwdriver did you use the only one I have that fits can't handle how tight the screws are from stock :/
Hey Drac, would you know why my Cycloneshock makes a hissing noise when I reprime it... only after firing? It's making it difficult to use as I'm not the strongest person and this is probably showing up in other Cycloneshock models.
Is the turret the same size as a firefly turret? Because personally, I'd take 8 shots over 6
Drac please do amod guide for the Magnus, I'm looking to paint one up for a cosplay but I'd really like to be able to upgrade the internals while i already have it apart!
Are you allowed to duel wield pistols in a pistol round? Also, can you use stryfes in pistol rounds?
How long are the pieces of cpvc pipe in the drum and what did you use to hold the cpvc to the inside of the drum?
I know that my question probably won't get answered, but could you tell me what was done to "tweak the catch?" I want to mod mine like this but with an Orange Mod works Elite Alpha Trooper 5+ Kg spring instead of the normal Elite Alpha Trooper Spring, and I'm afraid that the catch won't hold up. Could someone advise me on what to do?
Your probably going to need to look for a metal catch or brass inserts so the catch propelled by the spring doesn't litterally rip the internals to shreds. You also might need a new trigger.
kippy zipper Ok. I have since discovered that those springs don't fit, so I'm going with just the normal spring. Thanks for the help though.
With the spring addition or a replacement, does it, or do you think it will suffer from the same issues as the Strongarm upgrade spring where it (well, with one of mine) completely sheared off the tabs on the slide for priming it?
The Strongarm no longer primes, but I have been told it is a common issue when upgrading the spring, the tabs just can't take it.
I was advised to reinforce the slide tabs with something to prevent them snapping off, you have any ideas?
Little late for a reply but there's a metal pin that runs through the t section
What is the best lubricant for nerf blasters or at least what do you recommend what brand?
Hey man nice work. I love live in The Bahamas and was wondering how much you would charge to mod a few cyclones for me, price per gun. I wanna start nerf battles with my family and we like going extreme. I'd like to mod them myself but supplies would be hard to find ESPECIALLY clear cpvc. Let me know if you'd be interested. thanks
hey drac can I put the c pvc only without taking the gun appart?
How much would it cost to commission one of these? Like with the modifications you just made but with a purple black and green paint job?
hey is it necessary when its ready to fire and i pull the trigger it doesnt sound good im a bit worried because its like its broken
did you removed the ar?
5:22 I didn't even see the dart in 1/4 speed... 0_0 I do not want to get hit by that...
Same
This is insane!! Still think you should put a stock on it and turn it into a primary ;)
Why does it need a stock to be a primary?
Just to look cool and more like an AR
You have no idea what a ar is do you
I do but there's no need to scrutinise. I meant something more like an SMG
Toamastar15 thats actually a good idea
hold up no afences but dos your ring have a swasteaka ? on it no afencies?
Awesome mod. Are the elite dart barrels removable? In other words can you switch back and forth and for mixed office fighting use both?
I believe he said he used epoxy on the barrels. If he did theyre not goin anywhere.
Can you make range test video?
what type and size pipe is that? sorry if you already mentioned that.
I didn't think this was in stores yet
I was taking apart my cycloneshock and I took out a lever like piece that kind of attaches to the trigger through another piece
Hi Drac, I was hoping you or somebody else could help me. I added an additional spring to my blaster, but since I reassembled it I've had issues with the rotation mechanism. At first it was locked in place. I got it rotating again, but it's unreliable. I think it has something to do with the locks.
I'm having the same problem. Hopefully someone will help =D
Have youmod it is gone for the stock darts
*IMPORTANT*
hey drac, i know you will not see this or care this but if you do, can i want something for you to do because im not so rich etc and i cant mod i am scared. So i just wanted to ask if you could change Mega Cycloneshock and Doomlands Lawbringer cyclinders and so it will make Cycloneshock a Non-Mega cyclindered shotgun maybe. Please answer and thanks :)
I got a little spring about a inch long and it wasn't working after I closed everything else back up. Can anyone tell me where the little spring goes?
Having difficulty seeing where to lock in those locking pieces that you removed.
Christian Greschel nvm got it
is it possible to mod the turret to shoot rival rounds?
Hey drac I don't know if I did something wrong but mine will not catch
Drac I was taking mine apart and I saw the plunger head is glued to the plunger rod with pipe cement. I was thinking about boiling it but idk. Any advice. I'm really mad I just bought this blaster to mod it and now I can't beef up the spring! Oh BTW the way drac very nice work.

When are you getting the ghost crossbow back?
Does removing the trigger lock allow slam fire?
Agent Washingtub lol
what are the dimensions on those barrels?
So i took out the dart stand and now the sound when it shoots is unpleasant

your voice sounds like a voice when somebody voices a character who is really really earnest but with a funny undertone in his voice :)
Can you take the internals from a rappidstike and then insert it into a centurion
Sorry this is not south brisbane nerf club
I literally bought one just last night and I'm trying to figure out where I can get it modded
could make it rear loading, and add a pump action slide, then its usable as a primary.
The cylinder is not designed to drop out. Unless you make major shell cuts that would expose the internals or jerry-rig a maverick or strongarm drop mech onto it rear-loading is impossible. The pump grip isn't a bad idea, No idea how it would work on a pistol though.
Gibby Ethridge It only needs a slight shell cut on the left of the drum. Psych made it rear-loading and it works great. I plan to rebarrel and rear-load mine using stefans.
Keila Fleischbein i'd imagine you would be using normal stefans, if not i wonder what a mega stefan looks like.
Gibby Ethridge Naturally. Since the video included re-barreling, its a given.
im kindof a noob so please no hate but where could i get the tubes to rebarrel the gun
any hard ware store
I tried and couldn't find any with the right size.
I wonder what it would be like if the Cylinder was changed for a clip...
Hey there lorddraconical I love this blaster I'll be picking mine on payday loving this mod can you help out with a simple video on how to just remove the ar not so much worried about re-barreling just want to up the power as a mega blaster. Much love russell
Yo Drac, I've been subbed to you for a while but earlier today, a channel by the name of The Modern Rogue made a video about modding blasters, and gave you a shoutout! commenting on this vud because this was the video they used.
When does this officially launch? I need this
RIP to anyone who stopped after the tutorial part and was wondering why the fuck their trigger was stuck
Thanks for waiting till the end during the test firing to be like "oh yeah by the way if you take out the white plastic thing you have to do another step or your gun wont function"
Whould a strongarm spring work?
Nice job! The question is...can this shoot Rival balls? To be Rivalshock?:D
Dude, like sell some of these some time. It would be awesome to have a big ass "maverick" that shoots Elite darts!
LordDraconical what is your email for commissions?
How about you actually watch my videos. Ive said it many times. I dont post it in text in order to avoid spiders picking it up and spamming it. Do some homework before you ask things.
LordDraconical That was unwarranted.
I agree with you on that, but was it really necessary? You could have just lost a commission
LordDraconical sorry, I'll watch a load of your older vids to find out. I do watch your videos BTW, I was just unsure.
***** can you send me a link to it?
Good work, thank you for your contribution to the Handcannon club, But just wait till you see mine ;)
perhaps a drop down cylinder mod?
Did y get chat nerf by lhe nerfs compqny rigth?
Can you modify it to shoot rival rounds
Where did you get the clear cpvc?
Dude. Ya gotta tell me how u got this. Like I'm freaking out that I can't get it. Please tell me where to get it
Doesn't release in the US til 2015 :(
How did u get that early it isn't about drac
How do you upgrade the catch?
my trigger is jammed how to I fix this
Hey dreck I can't get my trigger to work on my gun
drac how did u get early access? o-o
Is there a way I could buy one?
can you do it to the thunderbow?
+darkness1255 I was thinking the same thing. I'll try it and let you know.
You could but since it is using a smart ar system your thunder bow will be shooting all the darts at once
I took out every single screw but I still can't open it? Anyone know how to fix it
Can you do a rhino fire review
I just ordered 2 of them and they should be here by Monday and I want to be able to fire them one handed any idea
Ironcladkilljoy glue them.
lol
i think i should hook a microwave transformer to a electric nerf gun
Wait what did Draco say that was bad
Is the catch stock
