Uh yea i tried it with my brass eagle.....well it didn't turn out so well. Where exactly can i cut? Also what tool should i use. Im making a throw together spyder and i feel like making it different..........i have a t board, and eyes laying around somewhere, and some old frames, plus some old internals. Im sooo gonna buy a used 21 inch barrel lol.......omg alot of people at my field are gonna kick my ass.

**Twistedpain** · October 4th, 05:20 PM

haha.. if you buy a 21 inche barrel... nevermind I'll be nice. you can cut the top tube about mid way from the feed neck... depending on the model. I might be wrong.

**punk_pntballar** · October 4th, 05:23 PM

Ok.........i know the whole thing on long barrel's im not stupid........i love a 12, or a 14 inch barrel, but im making this gun to make fun of some people i know..........who are like omg i want a sniper.......omg, imma be a sniper, so a 21 incher will give me a laugh or two.

EDIT: im so gonna try to bunker somebody with that barrel and like knock somebody out lol......ahh thats gonna be great.

It's a new spyder pilot acs......i think.

**Twistedpain** · October 4th, 06:19 PM

i know... i figured with you 1000 posts you knew that. um... you should be able to cut off a good chunk of the back half.
just dont cut into the bottom tube.

**punk_pntballar** · October 4th, 06:22 PM

Yea I was thinking maybe using a dremal.

Torch · October 4th, 08:10 PM

dremel and a cutting wheel maybe. That's a fair amount of metal, even if it is weak aluminum. I use a hacksaw to cut it off and then clean with a file to make it flat. I find it hard to hold a straight line with a dremel, but its a handy little tool.

**punk_pntballar** · October 4th, 08:15 PM

Ok ill keep that in mind. I used a grinder, and got the rail part off, but the sun went down so now i can't see anything.

**counterstrike53** · October 4th, 08:33 PM

actually that joke about stabbing someone with a 21 inch barrel isn't funny.

a guy i knew at the field thought that it would be funny to "stab" someone with his 18" freak instead of actually shoot them. well, turns out the way he poked him, totally jacked his whole shoulder/upper arm up, and he was done for the rest of the season, and had to go to physical therapy for months.

sound unlikely that he would poke him just the right way? it is. but is the story true? yes.

**punk_pntballar** · October 4th, 08:36 PM

Well that would be a bummer, but i never said i was going to poke somebody. I said if i tried to bunker somebody i would end up knocking the guy out (by accident). Any way, why would you intentionally poke somebody with your barrel?

**M4Maniac** · October 4th, 08:46 PM

a joke, I guess... Cant think of any other reason besides revenge, which is stupid.

**Twistedpain** · October 4th, 09:04 PM

because some of us like long black things in our mouths... dripping with ooze..... yeah scratch that comment.

**Charger** · October 4th, 09:07 PM

i seem to recall something about dont cut past where the back orings are on the bolt with it is cocked but then again i havnt looked at anything really paintball related in some time

**Twistedpain** · October 4th, 09:08 PM

I'm pretty sure your right because the o rings seal it... yes no maybe?

Torch · October 4th, 09:24 PM

O-rings seal it when the bolt is forward.

But if you cut too much the bolt won't have as much to guide it and can wobble. I guess especially since the striker clips onto the rear part of the bolt and pushes it.

**punk_pntballar** · October 4th, 09:36 PM

ok I'll just put the bolt back in and see where the last o-ring is when its not cocked, and not cut farther than that.

**punk_pntballar** · October 5th, 04:21 PM

Ok um the acs bolt doesn't have any o-rings on it........so i can't tell where to cut?

**counterstrike53** · October 5th, 04:44 PM

lol all i can say is to guestimate.

**punk_pntballar** · October 5th, 04:48 PM

Well i intend on only cutting about a inch and a half off the back so i think i'll be fine.......I hope.

**viralraindrop** · November 13th, 03:40 PM

i've halfblocked 2 impulses so far, and plan to do more. i use a big ol' bandsaw at my school to rough it in and then use some files to make it look more pretty. I'm sure a hacksaw would work too.i cut about 2 inches in from the back on those btw. i'll see if i can get some pics to post.

**dogfishslayer** · November 14th, 12:17 AM

I just halfbocked my GTI a couple weeks ago and used only a hacksaw and some elbow grease.
