Some modification practices are banned here because they are dangerous, and we don't want to promote dangerous things. These include:
- The use of Trustfire and Ultrafire batteries as drop-in power upgrades due to fire risk. (The use of appropriately rated battery packs improves improves performance as well as safety, especially improving spinup time in flywheel blasters.)
- Excessively powerful blasters such as singled drain blasters. (These are not only dangerous but also universally inaccurate. You wouldn't want to use one anyways.)
- Unsafe homemade airtanks, including all PVC airtanks. This is due to risk of explosion. PVC shrapnel is extraordinarily nasty - sharp, and doesn't show well on medical xrays.
The use of IMRs, which are AA-sized IMR-chemistry batteries, as drop-in power upgrades is discouraged due to potential fire risk. (This practice can also detemper springs in a battery tray over the long term and cause a blaster to become unreliable, so once again, you wouldn't want to do this anyways.)
