Shoots flying insects dead with a pinch of salt.
I HATE flying insects!
First modifications:
Since mine isn't going to be around children EVER the auto-safety is a nuisance.
Whenever the gun is fired, the safety springs back into the "on" (safe) position.
Not good for quick follow-up shots because the safety isn't intuitive.
The most damning thing is, when the safety is released it cannot put back into the safe position without shooting it
.
The only 2 mods I saw on You-Tube disabled the safety completely. We don't have to do that.
Perhaps it would be better if it worked like the safety on every other gun on the PLANET!
Easy to do. (this is not a step-by-step how-to).
A small magnetic phillips screwdriver is essential.
Remove the pump handgrip and all of the screws holding the right half on.
You'll see the pesky spring and the safety clicker-bar with its return spring:

Remove all of the safety parts so it looks like this:

If we put the safety back in, it will flop around so we make a fiber-washer out of thin cardboard to make it slightly "stiff":

Install the safety and tighten the screw until it moves a little stiff.
Reassemble the other parts leaving out only the clicker bar, it's return spring, and the "pesky spring":

I made the washer a little large so it can be seen in photos. It doesn't need to be this big:

The safety will now work like ones on real guns.
One other thing bugged me (pun). The red nose for the muzzle is a loose fit and can move around and interfere with the shot stream:

So I opened it up with a 9/32" drill bit:

I wanted to retain the red nose so some neanderthal (not LE), doesn't mistake it for something "real".
Next are the built-in batteries, laser, and pressure switch.
