Welcome to SSC!

The Arctic Shock isn't a very good water gun to begin with and there's no modifications that will turn something that performs that poorly into anything much better. I would suggest getting another water gun if you want something more powerful.

In the future check this thread when wondering about modifications too: http://forums.sscentral.org/t3668/

The Flash Flood is a better recent gun for modding, but as with any of the newer guns, you're not going to get it terribly far.

For the Arctic Shock, a nozzle drill and pressure release valve removal is all you can really do. Perhaps it's possible to open up the gun and cut out part of the pressure chamber to expand it, but that would be a pain to do and wouldn't be a good idea in most cases.

I'm afraid even that isn't possible. It's not a CPS gun, with rubber bladder expanding and restricted by a case. It's an air pressure gun.

What I meant is cutting out part of the PC and attaching more onto it, then adjusting the frame to make room for the space. Could likely negatively affect performance, but gives a decent PC volume increase from the pathetic 200mL, but really more trouble than it's worth.

Interesting. As long as you somehow make some space and make sure the PC is strong, I don't see why it shouldn't work. However, I don't think it's been done before.

Really, couldn't you XPS it with LRT? You just need to remove the PC, put the tubes inside nipples, and add your LRT. Due to the strange setup of the gun, the PC is a weird shape. Remove it and replace it with a CPS bladder
