I have to admit, I thought I would do this mod guide as well for any kids or parents out there, and this was a surprisingly large pain. It's a complete mystery as to why this wasn't made to be removable, especially with how much of a hit performance takes with it on. I am still team Hammershot, but without the barrel this is a pretty great revolver blaster.
