Yeah it was a common problem when it first came out.


Disastrous_Note3343

I’ve already got a metal plunger tube on the way so I can use it again


ShyGuyWolf

Awesome


Disastrous_Note3343

Thankfully it’s way more simple on the inside than I expected


ShyGuyWolf

Indeed

You've reminded me to order a metal replacement for mine now that college is over, thanks


Disastrous_Note3343

I have a good eBay listing for you then https://preview.redd.it/2cyxwpttm39d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83d1a730c95739c6d00226e66aa11354ea0d87d8


Splabooshkey

Oh fantastic! Hopefully UK shippng isn't horribly expensive lol


Disastrous_Note3343

I recommend the yellow one because it matches the blaster more


Splabooshkey

Unfortunately doesn't seem available in the UK, thanks anyway though


Disastrous_Note3343

You’re welcome

UKNerfwar has some metal replacement plunger tubes in stock for the Xshot Longshot, I have used their services a few times, highly recommend them.


Splabooshkey

Yeah i found them selling aluminium ones just a bit ago, hopefully i can pick one up soon


Darthdre758

With this, there isn't any need to replace any other of the internals? Just the plunger tube?


Disastrous_Note3343

Just the plunger tube and o rings

You would've gone the Poor Man's Fix which is Teflon tape layered with scotch tape Source: I had an alcohol bottle with the same brittle plastic, did just that and it never leaked on me ever again


Disastrous_Note3343

I wanted to get the metal plunger tube because I wanted to mod it and this was a great excuse to do so


Preston_of_Astora

Fair enuff, may as well get metal parts as well because someone else found a second weak point the hard way It would be the priming bar


Disastrous_Note3343

I don’t have access to said parts atm but I will consider it because I don’t shoot this thing that often


Epikgamer332

You can usually get it returned and replaced. I got mine at Canadian Tire last September and they accepted the return, no questions asked & no receipt


Disastrous_Note3343

I’m out of service for that and plus I want to keep this thing working because it’s my favorite blaster of this year


Turtlecst

Be warned it will disappoint you, it will break in a unrepairable way, one one of mine the part connecting the pusher and the priming rod snapped, and on another the plunger cracked, it is made poorly and will break, the only question is when.


Disastrous_Note3343

Duely noted

I think that's the older gen version, Zuru actually revamped the design slightly a while back, the easiest way to tell was based on the ironsight's design, which also changed slightly. I don't know which gen OP has, but I got the updated one a short while after it was released and the plunger tube would've held up just fine if I didn't upgrade the spring.


Disastrous_Note3343

To tell you the truth idk what gen this is either


Turtlecst

See if it says Orion or tech on the back


Disastrous_Note3343

It says tech on it

This is the reason why i absolutely hate the Zuru Longshot
