SM 1500 PVC Mod

The Old SuperMaxx 1500 is a good weapon out of the box, but the New one just plain sucks.  However this mod will bring super charge both and their performance will be equalized.

Purpose: To Make your SM 1500 shoot mega stefans, zeros, and stock micros and increase the maximum range.
 
Materials: -Your SM 1500 (New or Old)
                -24 inches of 1/2 in. Sched 40 PVC
                -1 Hot glue gun
                -Glue stick
                -Screw Drivers of all sorts
                -1 hacksaw
                -1 file or dremel
                - Plumber's Goop
 
Procedure:
 
1) Open up your SM 1500.  If it has an orange cap over the pump shaft and the rear then pry them off using a screwdriver as a lever.
 
2) Take out the plunger.
 
3) Use a hot glue gun to plug the hole at the end of the plunger.
 
4) Let the glue on the plunger dry by setting it aside for now.
 
5) Take off the rotating, red barrel assembly.
 
6) There are two small screws on the inside of the red barrel assembly.  You'll have to rotate the barrels until you can see them.  Once you do unscrew them.
 
7) Once you unscrew those two small screws you should be able to slip off the black cover on the 4-barrel assembly.  Slip it off and set the black cover aside for now.
 
8) You will see an indentation or groove about 1/3 of the way up each barrel.  Snap the barrels off at that point.  An air restrictor and a spring should come out of each.  You may discard these.
 
9)Now take your hacksaw and saw off the remaining stubs of the barrels.  DO NOT SAW THROUGH THE CENTER POST!!!  If you do you will ruin your SM 1500's 4 barrel assembly.  Try to cut the barrels off as smoothly and evenly as possible.
 
10) Now take your dremel or file and smooth the place where the barrels were.
 
11) Clean the 4-barrel assembly of the plastic shavings.  If you put it under tap water dry it immediately after.
 
12) Now cut your PVC into four pieces that are 5-6 inches long.
 
13) File or dremel the ends of the PVC.
 
14) Wash away the plastic shavings from the PVC and dry them out.
 
15) Put the plastic, black cover back over the 4-barrel assembly and screw the screws back in.  Now it should look like it did before only without the barrels.
 
16) Now take Plumber's Goop and glue the PVC pipes onto the 4-barrel assembly in the place where you sawed off the original barrels.
 
17) Now set your 4 barrel assembly with PVC pipes in a VERTICAL position and let it dry for 24 hours.  You should make sure it stays vertically so the glue doesn't plug up the barrel.  I used an old shoe box to keep it upright.
 
18) Reassemble your SM 1500 (don't forget your plunger).
 
19) Conquer your enemies!  *WARNING: DO NOT PUMP OVER 4 TIMES OR YOUR SM 1500'S AIR TANK MAY RUPTURE!!!*
 
Note: You may want to do my mod to Reduce the Trigger Pull of your Modified SM 1500.
