so I was bored one day and i had my monster XL with me at the time and I decided to mod it. what did i do? i did'nt collossus it and i did'nt CVF it. you know the Y splitter that the water has to go through which slows down the flow of said water? yes that one. I wanted more power from my monster Xl... so i sawed it off, made a 8X nozzle with a laminator for it. and so my monster XL shot 50 feet YES 50 FEET OUT OF A MONSTER XL. ill post pics tomorow. Now. Any sugestions on how to lighten it?

There aren't many ways to lighten a MXL and minimisation modifications are the only real way to do it.
If you want to retain the structure, reservoir, firing mechanism and rigidity you could:
- Remove bipod
- Cut off fake pipework
- Cut off fin things
If you want to go lighter but retain structure:
- Remove reservoir (add a backpack or just use the QFD)
- If you've removed the reservoir, you can remove most of the rear bodywork (the reservoir mount behind the trigger)
- Remove pump mechanism (just use QFD, but you might have to keeps some of the pump pipework as a trigger guide)
If you want a full minimisation mod:
- Remove everything but the PC section (inner layer of bodywork) and attach a pistol grip and trigger to this

How to lighten MXL:
Work out every week.
Joking aside, I'd like to congratulate you on an excellent mod! I always knew the MXL had potential (I bet you could get even more power if you colossused it.). I wonder why no one else thought of doing this? Maybe it's because nobody has MXLs (The only community members that I can think of who have them are: You, iSoaker, M4, and CA99.).

Hey, did forget about me ?... I have 4 Monster XLs around, hehe.
Also thought about such a mod but what makes the gun so special is its dual-based firing system. Removing this would mean to me to take away the Xl...reducing it to a big Monster X...
Well done, my friend!

Keep things going, hehe

Sorry, dude. I probably forgot a few others too. In fact, I probably would've forgot about M4 as well, except that I saw his XL in person (and used it!), haha.
I used to want a MXL, but after seeing the horrendous prices those things go for, I just forgot about it. I definitely would miss a chance to get one for a low price though, just as a fun weapon, and yes, maybe to mod.

Wow that's awesome. I may have to do that when I get back, but I'd like to see proof (like GJIV's 300 video) that it shoots 50 ft. Speaking of which, I have to figure out why my 300 shoots around 41 ft.

Very nice mod. MI guess the XL isn't so underpowered after all. I would get one, but like SEAL pointed out, the price is terribly high.

Mine got a very laminar stream. Would check this first. When pump up to full pressure ? Angle at 45 degees ? Did not have any wind though, so the gun may archieve even 60 feet with wind...just tested it under normal condition though

Well M4's 300 was like a flamethrower. The water just sprayed out all over the place. He was still a tough opponent though...
