Step 1: Locate the trigger and magazine locks utilizing the close-up photo of the internals located in the previous step. Locks are geared towards the safety of younger users, and may be left in if desired. The magazine lock prevents the magazine from being removed unless the slide is pulled all the way back Many modders prefer to remove these locks in order to control blaster function precisely to their liking. Locks allow you to half-cock your blaster, and are there to ensure that the slide is racked to the most rearward position before trigger is pulled. Step 5: Set the top half aside, and you should have something that looks like this (note: this AT has tape on the plunger tube and a lock removed already, stock can be seen in the close-up): (Pic. If the issue continues, use a flat head screwdriver and gently pry around the seam until the blaster separates. If it appears to be sticking, double check to make sure that all the screws have been removed. Step 4: At this point, the blaster should easily separate into two halves. Be sure you do not accidentally leave your blaster in cocked position, because the spring could shoot out and cause injury. Step 3: Gently remove the rear cap of the blaster. Note that there are four screws hidden under the slide of the blaster, and must be removed after removing the handle.

Try to avoid opening the blaster when it is in the cocked position, as it can shoot out the back of the blaster and cause injury. The blaster should be unloaded with the mainspring relaxed. Make sure no small springs shoot out when the blaster is opened. Be sure to remember that there is often a variety of screw sizes in your blaster, so keep track of which screws go where. It is important to be familiar with your blaster’s internal structure in order to carry out any performance-related mods. Regardless of the reason, modding is an incredibly fun hobby that creates custom works of art out of average foam blasters.

Without a few layers of a hard clear coat, paint can gum up areas where plastic slides on plastic.

When performing cosmetic mods, care must be taken in order to not lock up any moving parts. Some of the more common blasters' internal pictures can be found online, and it is worthwhile to use these as references.
