the pump on my hydroblade went so i decided to take it apart. the casing for the hydro blade was glued in multiple places so its now unusable. after about ten minites i found the problem it was a kink in the hose(See pics) i took the tank out and since its out of the caseing i'm wondering if there was any way i could move the nozzle away from the tank

(the kink is hard to see and i have a replacement pump)

I have never messed with the Hydroblade, but if the nozzle pops off the reservoir I am sure you could get some pipe and just extend it or shape it however you'd want.

if you look at the first pic you see a coupling right before the valve it has 2 O-rings in it this is the only thing keeping it water tight... and its glued to the valve so there is no way i can think of to extend this unless i can detach the coupling from the vavle( cameras not working wiil post more pics)

The thing with modding, IMO, is if you are careful and resourceful, you can do just about anything. At the same time, some things are likely better off not modded; instead, sometimes it is likely better to start with a blank template and build something more to your liking from pipes and valves instead of trying to adjust a pre-existing form. Since you reportedly can no longer use the case, I'm a little confused why you'd want to move the nozzle away from the tank, anyhow. As the HydroBlade if a pressurized reservoir system, everything must be kept water and air tight for it to still function properly. While I can think of theoretical ways to hack off the nozzle and put in new tubing and fittings, not sure what would be really gained by the effort.

Isoaker is right... and for the record most Max Ds are not very good for modding. On the flip side, I don't really care for the Hydroblade's performance in the first place, so if you're like me, there's not much to lose.

yes these guns are'nt very powerful but i can never seem to get a hold of anything stronger than a devastator
for the reason i wanted to move the valve, i would like to move it to my hand and put the tank in a back pack so i could look unarmed when scouting, but also to have as a back up blaster

I really like the Devastator. I've been doing some repairing of late, and when that's all done it's going to be my sidearm to my CPS 2000. Of course, not everyone needs or can even handle that type of load. The Devastator by itself is really good for soakfests or as a medium arm in an elimination game.
So let me get this straight, are you trying to make the blaster smaller so you can fit it in a backpack? I'm not really sure what you're going for here.

Once you disconnect the nozzle from the reservoir connect the two with any length of tubing and run it through a long sleeve shirt or jacket. It should be fun messing around with that haha. I suggest putting a strap on the gun. They will expect it even less when your Hydroblade is hanging from your shoulder and you've got both hands free haha.

Freeze the PRV. That gives you insane power addition to a PR gun.
