It is my intention to integrate the guts of one of the Spiderman guns into the shell of a LS front gun for further integration into the LS itself. Space is an issue. It seems to me that I could attach the three tubes connected to the trigger assembly directly to the backs of my aluminum barrels, avoiding the need to use the excessively bulky piece containing the barrel stubs. Does this piece contain anything important or significant? There's space in each barrel assembly between the tubing connection and the back of the barrel stub whose contents are unknown to me. Is it just dead space?
And on an only loosely related note, what might be a good barrel length?

Each barrel has it's own semi-auto valve blast chamber attached to it. There is no dead space in the design.
The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly. That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumble bee. I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me. Why didn't you believe me?

I guess that means I'm in for some extra-fun dremeling, then. Thanks.

CS is right that there is no dead space, as long as you can slip your barrel all the way back against the blast chambers. There are some tabs in there that you will have to dremel, at least if you are using OMC PETG.
Also, I wanted to add that a fair a mount of stuff can be removed from the blast chamber piece. I was able to cut the three blast chambers apart and got them down so that they are pretty much just three cylinders. You'll have to be careful, however, not to actually cut into the blast chamber.
I will repeat that, with emphasis: while cutting the blast chambers apart from one another, it is easy to actually cut into a blast chamber. Be careful!
On barrel length: early reports suggested 2.5 or 3 inches. I used 2.5 inches of OMC PETG and got satisfactory results (though I haven't actually done a range test).

I'm using the same aluminium that CS once mentioned, which should be comparable to OMC's PETG. Unfortunately, it does not fit in the barrel stubs. I'll keep that warning in mind – the last thing I want is to break the darn thing.
