I don't have pics yet but here's what I've done to some of my stuff.

For my Bonedaddy:

1) I made a low profile hopper similar to Krazy Zacks with some black pvc rigid pipe from a a wine rack that just happened to perfectly fit in to my elbow.

2) I cut one of my stock barrells down to the same length as my lpc as a "pistol" mod.

3) I modified a PMI Piranha single trigger trigger frame to fit onto my Bonedaddy. The seers were different so I had to swap them. I still need to file out the hole on the Bonedaddy sear to accept the larger pin used on the PMI frame. But it's working great otherwise. I just have to hold the pin in there so it doesn't shake out.

For my E-rex:

1) On the stock trigger frame I did a ghetto response trigger mod by wiring the NC contact in parallel to the NO contact. Sine the switch is a break before make it actually will work but you have to get the rythme of it. This also disables the electronic safety so I have it routed through a switch that I can use to select that mode. I'll probably try debouncing it with a 556 timer someday.

2) I also tried swapping a stock Mongoose board into my E-rex trigger frame. With some tweeks I've gotten it to actually fire 20bps full auto.

For both:

1) Made a custom drop forward with some scrap aluminum

2) Made a bottom line adapter block since niether of my markers use standard mounting holes.

Future projects:

1) Debounce my ghetto response trigger for my E-rex.

2) Make a custom stock for my Bonedaddy

3) Figure out why my Mongoose trigger frame doesn't work right on my E-rex and mod as necessary.

4) Get my hands on a junky verticle feed body, an electronic frame, and a P90 airsoft gun. I'm thinking I can gut the airsoft gun modify the marker, trigger frame, and bolt to fit inside and button it back up. I'm not sure how I'll do it but my Bonedaddy with my 11.5" ACI one piece barrel is only like 1/2" longer than the stock airsoft gun.

Interestingly I've found that 2L soda bottles can be made to fight tightly into a feed neck. Sometimes the soda bottle threads need a little trimming though. 800 round hopper anyone?

These really aren't mods, just helpful "ghetto" stuff

I like to use tennis ball bottles in lieu of 100 round pods. They hold more balls, fit into the pod belt, and I don't care if I loose them on the field. Just hang around popular tennis courts and your sure to find plenty of replacements.

The night prior to playing I pour all my balls into tennis ball bottles and one of those large cereal tupperware things with the pour lid. It makes reloading and stocking up on paint much quicker in between games.

3L soda bottles with the bottom cut off and the cap removed make great funnels when pouring balls out of a large bag or container into your hopper and prevents wasting paint from spills.
