This is how to CPVC coupler your Sonic Bazooka.
PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL IT IS FINISHED.
Here it is.
Unscrew it and it should look like this.
Now take out the tank and set the pump aside.
Now cut carefully around the base of the stock barrel, but only through the white plastic.
Pull it off and you should see this.
Now sand down all those nubs around the blue piece.
Go grab a CPVC coupler and glue it on (I recommend something strong like Plumbers Goop or epoxy, but hot glue and superglue would probably work too).
Now grab the pump shaft.
Plug the middle hole, but be sure to leave the other two open. Those two holes let air get back into the pump casing so it can compress more air.
Now that everything is done all we need to do is put it back together. Sand down the walls as shown in the following picture to accept the new coupler.
Now screw it back up, and you're done! I would recommend six pumps, and a six inch CPVC barrel. Those of you who like pushing your guns to their limits could probably get away with 7-8 pumps, but I personally don't want to risk it.
Now to make this war-worthy you'd probably have to cut off the top half of the front of the gun (everything past the wall where the coupler is). It's hard enough to find the coupler while test-firing, I can't imagine trying to do it in the heat of battle.
I don't have any ranges, and probably won't for the next couple weeks (going on vacation). I'm guessing something in the 60'-80' range. You could try to shorten the barrel to increase range, but I can't really vouch that it helps at the moment.
Questions? Comments?
Feel free to post.

Could you post a comparison picture with another blaster? Does the stock white barrel have a similar OD to 1/2" PVC?

And for those who don't know how big a disk shot is (that's the pistol) it's about the same size as an NF.
Oh, and the stock barrel has an OD a bit bigger than CPVC. Alot thinner walled though.

I'm also a little concerned about the ranges. If the tank is smaller, I guess it's to be expected, but you might want to play around with barrel lengths, seeing how its couplered anyway.
It looks nice and clean with the coupler on, though. I will definitely try something like this if I ever get a big blast, so that I can use a variety of different barrels. Thanks for the write-up.

Again, the ranges were not tested. That was just an estimation based on firing it at a target ~20' away. I'll try to get some official ranges up soon. When I get around to it I'll try using a longer barrel too.
I wasn't aware that other write-ups were made on this gun, I just thought another one might be helpful. It's also just a different way to mod the gun (CPVC coupler) and nice pictures (if I do say so myself).
I also just realized this would be my one year anniversay contribution. Really never realized until now.
