I sanded the shell on the ammo holders on both sides, whether you are right or left handed determines where you place the internals. The laser area also needs some sanding.
I decided to put the blast button in the handle, so sand it out on both sides.
I just cut a rough hole where I wanted the button to be and placed it in there at an angle that I found comfortable, then globbed tons of hotglue all over it. I sanded down the plastic collar a bit, and the little nubs on the button to make it fit better.
Now, take your thumbtack and heat it up while holding it with pliers. Melt it in the button and you're good to go.
The pump and tank are pretty simple, I used a SM3K pump since it was thin enough. Just goop/ hot glue them into place, and make sure you get the tank straight. The pump takes a lot of force, so I gooped it wherever it made contact with that half of the shell for more holding power.
I didn't have a tubing connector on hand, so I used a piece of PETG and capped it with the end of a chainblazer plunger tube. I have noticed that the tube vaporizes when you push the button sometimes, and I am not sure if the extra volume in the PETG helps, harms, or does nothing to performance over a simple connector.
Now, here's where you can really make some serious improvements. The trigger tubing can be run through the trigger guard (I just pushed some in to show it'd work) and if you can connect the pump and tank to the connector at that kind of angle I think you can keep the whole thing internal and make this mod look much better.
