All of this recent activity on this thread has motivated me to redo this, with the more powerful spring and better adhesives.

For an experienced flywheel user like me, it feels extremely weird to have the trigger depress only 2mm. This mod is a mod I have done twice before, and this third time it turned out better than ever before. As ridiculous as this seems, it is true, and if you really doubt me I can do a firing video and a Google Earth screenshot to prove its range. My personal firestrikes use this same spring load and speedloader system, but with quite a bit more dead space. I didn't cut the plunger head off though, opened the spring up and worked it around till it came off.The Nerf Elite Firestrike blaster features light beam targeting so battlers can aim with precision even in low-light conditions. It was first seen on the packaging of the first four blasters released under the N-Strike Elite series. The Nerf Firestrike blaster features a light beam targeting system for pinpoint accuracy, enabling precision targeting. It's not screwed on, it's sort of secured to the blaster by plastic, and my main problem is if I did manage to pry it off/chop it off, how would I secure it back on to the plunger?

It is possible to push the Firestrike's range over 130ft with some good mods and ridiculous springs. I tried using the same spring in my Strongarm and just didn't trust it could handle the stress, there is no rubber on the end of the plunger like in the Star Shot.This blaster is punching harder, due to less dead space, so I would put ranges at 80-85 feet flat with elites, with an occasional 90. It barely fits my hand comfortably, so for larger users the Firestrike will probably be uncomfortable to hold. Whether you’re engaging in target practice or battling it out with friends, the Firestrike delivers Elite performance and fun.
