I've had a few people ask me already about some of the mods I have listed in my sig, so I thought I'd share with you how they were done. There are websites online that you might find some good information, but a lot of it will actually hurt your gun if you're not careful. the the do-it-yourself full auto mods, for example, are not listed here because they DO NOT work and WILL damage your gun. A tippmann is just not made to cycle that fast and the mods attempt to do it in an incorrect way. Anyway, here is a list of mods that will work, and won't hurt your gun.


[Silencing the internals

For this you'll need electrical tape, thin foam tape(or felt and super glue), a rag, and scissors. Note- Do NOT use Teflon tape! All of these are small mods, and may not last long. Some may have to be re-applied.

Ok, so the first place to start is the asa. Unscrew it from whatever it's mounted to(either the trigger frame or a drop forward) and cut a strip of foam tape or felt to fit on the mounting of the asa. poke the holes for the screws to fit back in and re-attach the asa to your gun. This will silence tank pinging. Next, take your gun apart. find the sear spring, and wrap it once around with electrical tape. only once around because we don't want the tape to get in the way of the spring tensing and untensing. This will stop part of the ping you hear when the sear engages. Lastly, take out the rear bolt. Wipe the end of it down with a rag( the part that goes into the powertube and hits the valve) and cut a small square piece of foam tape or felt to fit on the end. glue or stick the square piece you cut on the bolt, re-oil, and put the gun back together. And now your gun will be noticeably quieter.
