I know there is a picture on the site, but it is blurry. Can someone post a picture with where to cut please? Thanks. ^_^

EDIT:I wrote post as ost.
Soak, or be soaked that is the question!

You don't want to freeze an XP gun's check valve. You'll likely just end up over-pressurizing it -- resulting in a pressure crack in the PC most likely. That is why I removed the picture with the cut spots in the Check Valve Freezing article. I honestly don't want people freezing an XP gun's check valve unless it's a repair when the check valve is overactive or they are just a crazy modder.

Pressurized reservoir guns can take a lot more pumps. You're pumping air - not water - into the pressurized reservoir. Water doesn't compress, air does. Simple as that!

Doom I'd like to contradict. I find that the check valve freeze mod on XP guns is the most valuable thing you can do to them. As long as you stop pumping when it gets too hard, it's excellent. Mine never broke, and I've pumped it to the point where it was so hard to open the trigger that I had to use my thumb (cause the XP310 has a stubborn trigger), multiple times. But on Max-D guns it's stupid since the valve breaks easily.

I Don't know this is just my opinion. I'd do it because it gives the gun an extra kick that feels awesome and also when you take off the nozzle selector the blast is much more powerful.

do you have any pictures? I'm not sure where to cut. If you don't have time to take pictures, then you could just draw, or explain. Either one is good. I'm not sure about doing it yet though, I will have to ask sniper 2150, because it's his gun.

I have some pictures from when I had my version of a CVF article on my site (I used the XP310 as the example). I can try and find them, but I can't guarantee anything.

Please re-add the XP check valve picture, because that is the same spot you have to cut on the 2005 guns! B)
I don't check this forum anymore.

The 2005 guns are Max-D, and you can easily break Max-D guns by doing a check valve freeze. I wouldn't even bother modding the 2005 guns.

EDIT--Why do we even need pictures? If you understand how a water gun works, it is extremely easy to find the extra check valve. And if you don't, then you shouldn't even be doing mods. I'm not even going to try and dig up those old pictures. It's pointless.
