Thanks BigS ! For the record, I'm not going to post any dangerous mods on this wiki. For those, you'll have to email me directly 🤪

As for the MagStrike, I'm confident this mod is safe. The thick type of rubber this bladder is made from won't "pop". If it did develope a hole, it would act more like a flat tire, than a party balloon. Plus you've got a fairly substantial shell surrounding it. No myoelectric prosthesis should be necessary. (It would look cool though 😉)

Removing 4mm of the pressure release post allows you to get 5 or 6 additional pumps, which is more than enough to get the last few darts out of the clip with decent velocity. You can definitely tell all 10 darts shoot equally as well. However, the bladder itself only expands an additional 3% to 4% if my math is correct. That little bit extra makes all the difference.

But I agree, no HPA ! Not with this type of expandable bladder anyway. I have only played with one HPA blaster - the Drain Blaster. It's definitely fun, but it's just not safe for the environments I play in. As far as I know, you need to stick with rigid air tanks and heavy duty or reinforced tubing for HPA. I'm sure someone's already built one, but in my opinion the MagStrike is not a good candidate for HPA.
