A trigger job normally invloves either/all of the following,

Side to side play removal.
Excess travel removal.
Spring lightening.

If the trigger on a piranha is like a spyder then yes it can be done, I know how to so it but can't easily describe how! Head over to paintball city.com or pbnation and see if they have a piranha forum.

Paul.

Done some digging for you, this is for a spyder but as the piranha is aspyder clone it should work fine! I did this on my spyder and it worked a treat!

Paul.

If done correctly, the trigger stop will completely rid your trigger pull of front slack. Read this mod a few times before actually trying it so you know exactly what you are doing. I am not responsible for your screw-ups. .

1st tap the trigger pin out, I used a hammer and nail(flattened point).

This is the trigger, trigger spring, and trigger pin removed.

Use a size 21 tapping drill bit(or 5/32" drill bit) and drill a hole directly over where the front of the trigger touches the bottom of the trigger frame.

This is a 10-32 size bit and tapping tool, you will need this to tap threads into the hole we just drilled.

Screw the tapping tool into the newly drilled hole(periodically cleaning the newly tapped threads).

This is a 1" 10-32 screw, I'm gonna cut this down to use as a set-screw.


http://www.suprbugin.homestead.com/files/TRIGGE~7.jpg
I used a dremel tool to cut it down shorter and cut the screw-head off.


http://www.suprbugin.homestead.com/files/TRIGGE~8.jpg
This is the screw after I cut it down, I ended up cutting it up just a bit more.


http://www.suprbugin.homestead.com/files/TRIGGE~9.jpg
I used the dremel to cut a notch into the end of the set-screw, this will allow me to use a screw-driver to adjust exactly how much of it protrudes from the trigger frame(hence making an adjustable front stop).


http://www.suprbugin.homestead.com/files/TRIGG~10.jpg
This is as far as I could adjust my front slack and still have the use of my safety(with no other trigger modifications)-it took at least an inch off my longass benchmark trigger pull.
