However, you'll only be able to swap the batteries by opening the whole blaster. Beyond that, you'll have to cut the shell. This is what I hate about LED mods! You need to find a nice place to house your batteries and make it easily accessible, because the alternative is taking the whole blaster apart just to change them.

Which is why it makes it all the more satisfying if an LED mod is done on a blaster like the Firefly, which already has a battery compartment, and even more so in the First Order Stormtrooper Deluxe Blaster's case (which I have been planning on doing an LED mod but haven't gotten to it in 2 years), which I found can actually fit a 9 volt battery quite snuggly in its 2-screw-port pump grip if you remove all the walls inside it. It's just a proof of concept though, since wiring would be tricky especially for a moving part.
