Do you see any screws on the gun? If you are brave enough to take it apart usually the orange piece just slides or pops out. If its a solid gun then you may have to paint it.

Nice gun, very indyesque (glad it's a toy! 8-[ )

Dont know if it can be removed. Maybe it is screwed (not a swear word!)... so you might try to move it in the direction of the screw, i hope you know what i mean.

Sorry but i never had those guns so i'm not expert in that

Try to force it a bit, if it's metal you wont risk anything. They usually are screwed and then glued so it should be harder than you can imagine but possible... after trying this, paint it black! (yes that's a quote guys!)

You could try to force it out with a flat head screwdriver form the center of it pushing back but there is a risk that it could break the gun if too much pressure is applied or if its just plain out too tough. If the gun is plastic this is a risk, but if it is metal then the risk is very low since the plastic tip will give way before the metal does (sometimes).

I had so many plastic cap guns that I removed the orange tip from so the smoke would come out of the barrel. Almost every single one broke within a month. :(

Yes metal is your friend. Those small plastic mechanisms just don't hold up under use for more than a few weeks. :?

Try to drill it out.

this was my first idea too. or maybe you can try to cut it out with a very sharp knife? watch your fingers then! maybe it also works when you heat the knife before so the plastic will melt a bit (when it's a metallic gun).

Yeah, me too. Or melt it with a butain torch lighter. (then pry it out wth a screw driver)
