I cut the 1/2" pipe to 13" length, which I think is the perfect length. The outside diameter of the pipe fits very snug in the barrel, so no glue is necessary. The range of the dart does not decrease at all, in fact it seems to even travel further due to the smoothness of the inside of the pipe. (btw, the air restrictor was removed prior to this barrel mod.)
Hey, thanks to everyone for all the great comments. This was honestly the first barrel modification I made for any Nerf gun. Glad to hear you all have liked it.
i plan on doing this to my new Retaliator. 2 ?s. What exact ranges are you getting with this, and how much was the pipe? If its too much i might just wanna go with pvc
The conduit can be purchased at any home improvement store. It is a standard product. ½" EMT electrical conduit. It's cheap, a 10 foot stick is maybe $2, no more expensive than PVC. No, the pipe has never shifted within the shaft of the barrel, even with no other securing method. The pressure of the tight-fit has proven enough. If you want, you could probably put a thin wrap of double-sided scotch tap around the pipe and then reassemble, but I didn't find it necessary.
+Karson H. Nope. The accuracy decreases too. The dart bounces around. Airsoft and real steal firearms are more accurate with longer barrels because it makes the projectile spin longer. Nerf barrels dont make the the darts spin. So short barrel =more effective
Just a dude, longer barrels in airsoft don’t mean more accurate, the B.B. rides along the top of the barrel due to the hop up, and bounces around similar to how the dart bounces in th barrel. The best barrel length for an AEG is 363mm.
Jay Curatolo Based on images and what I've seen on other videos, I would say the Retaliator uses the exact same barrel extension attachment as the Recon CS-6. It should fit, but my question is if the pipe has slid around at all since you installed it?
Jay Curatolo Finally got around to performing the mod myself, along with installing an OMW polycarbonate internals kit (which includes a 6kg spring, a step up from the Recon's stock 2.5kg spring). So far it's working good and it doesn't slide unless I forcibly wrench the barrel and twist. Even then, it holds up fine. I asked the staff at my local Home Depot to cut a 14inch length of 10ft conduit, but they went too fast and crimped ends. That was easily rectified with a dremle tool, but I still need to file that to where it isn't slicing into the surface of my darts should they rub against the surfaces of my inner barrels. Jay, this video was genius, and I can't express enough how thankful I am that you uploaded it.
Man!!!!! You are a awesome dad. I hope your son likes it. :-)

Looks like it adds speed and that swoosh sound
love the idea of the flash suppressor
Hey, thanks to everyone for all the great comments. This was honestly the first barrel modification I made for any Nerf gun. Glad to hear you all have liked it.
Thank you, now I have made a sniper rifle prop out of my Recon cs 6. We will make a cool actionfilm with it, inspired by you, bro :)
Thanks man really !!
Hey, i really like this video, but i just can't fins such a pipe, so could it work with a pvc pipe too?
Wow that really looks cool I wanna do it I'm also painting mine black if you done that it might make it a bit cooler and you could surprise your son.

Looks nice with a spray painted 1

Jay Curatolo and conduit is alot lighter than metal
ITS 4 DOLLARS YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it does work with just extending the barrel
the extention doesnt have to be all the way back to the base of the gun check out the best barrel mod ever it realy works
the end looks thing makes it look like a flash hider
I love it i used it but the spring is hard keep in sometime.but got it in:D
can u tell me how long for the pipe and the hole inch around how many ?
please tell me where you got pipe thing from please reply! ASAP!
@jcuratolo very nice video! I'll do this for my nephew's nerf gun, and im sure he'll love it! Good on ya!
How Do You Take The Barrel Off The Gun? Please Respond :D
how do you cut the electrical conduit?
My dad also says though that's not right inside the dart
You can still use it with the gap...
is there a way to make it like a barret 50 xal like really long?
THAT IS SO BAD-ASS! THANX MAN!
I messed trying to do it with the longstrike barrel
+Chayton Unka i think that that works
I'm really sorry where I messed up writing I'm on a iPad and it is really old and always messes up when I write
Thanks for the video! My gun looks sick and works great!
Great job dad!!!
How do you even remove the barrel?
Spring modded or nah
that was awesome bro i'm going to try that
the recon is my most favorite nerf gun also i got a new on today on my channel i have two videos on my last recon that broke
can this work for a nerf maveric
Can you use a PVC pipe?
+Yonghua Zhu i think yes
Amazing dad 🎉
Does the dart fly out properly? No rubbing or friction? Does it increase or decrease range?
Ira Agtarap The longer barrel increases barrel drag. MEaning it decreases range but increases accuracy.
+Karson H. Nope. The accuracy decreases too. The dart bounces around. Airsoft and real steal firearms are more accurate with longer barrels because it makes the projectile spin longer. Nerf barrels dont make the the darts spin. So short barrel =more effective

Adding this much to the end of the barrel will decrease the proformence by a lot
Will PVC work?
First 30 sec thought u where taking in 3rd person
awesome dad
you needed to take off the sight and front peases
Awesome dad
Is it the same thing for the retaliator
I am pretty sure that the Retaliator barrel is identical to the Recon's barrel. I'm sorry if I'm wrong. My son does not own a Retaliator.
Jay Curatolo Based on images and what I've seen on other videos, I would say the Retaliator uses the exact same barrel extension attachment as the Recon CS-6. It should fit, but my question is if the pipe has slid around at all since you installed it?
Kyle Nguyen It has not slid around at all! My son is still using it, and he loves it!
awesome. Definitely going to try this next paycheck

Very cool
flash surpresser alright!!!
nice man :) do u like my vid on how to make a nerf heart beat sensor ?
Helped
is it b&Q
hi its me good vid for nerf fans
I think u need to paint it
I don't want to shoot I just want to look cool
realy thank you I really gonna use this
Your a really good dad ya now:D
Does it shoot farther?
Arch _D3M0N The longer barrel increases barrel drag. MEaning it decreases range but increases accuracy.
It's called a magazine
Extension decreases range D8
Awesome !
cool
sweet
Cool dad
cool mod :)
Best dad
It didn't fit
homedepot
you are
it's not a gun, it's a blaster...
So what? There are terms like staple gun, nail gun, and glue gun. Should they also be called glue blaster, staple blaster, and and nail blaster?
i have 2 million coins and keys
It's called a magazine
cool
