If you can go to a hardware store you can pick up a hacksaw and a razor blade.

This baby right here works like a charm.
Cuts skin very nicely, very thin cuts, depending on how much you want to bleed.
Also cuts grips the same way. -

The emo at your local high school will have a few of these on-hand. Just give the guy a dollar if he won't let you have one for free. I took a bunch from this place I worked one summer, they work p good. -

Just get a razor blade, a sanding tool, and a safety knife and you're ready to start modding.

I still think a hacksaw is great for cutting barrels. You might have to file down the cuts after but it works wonders on hard plastic while a knife won't do as well.

Finally a non-useless thread! I would recommend an exacto knife for grip cuts, cutting grips, and tape cuts. for body cap/cuts, i would get a small hacksaw. sand paper would also be nice because hacksaws tend to leave a rough cut occasionally.

Or get a file. Much better control over what you're sanding/filing. Though sandpaper is really cheap.

For barrel cutting, I use a hacksaw but generally I cut about 1mm longer than I need to cut in case I mess up I can just file it down. For grips, I took the blade out of a utility knife and just used that. It hurts using just the blade with no handle but it gets straight cuts though you can't do fancy grip cuts with a utility knife.

@KTrinh93, do you know a good cutting tool, or does anyone know a good cutting tool for the RSVP barrels for a vicgotgame?

Hacksaws are generally the tool of choice for cutting hard plastic barrels.

@KTrinh93 , how would you cut it safely? Like, how would you hold the barrel without risking cutting your phalanges off?

Um... Get a device to hold the pen like a vice.

... holding a barrel isn't that hard.. unless the piece of the barrel you're cutting is really short to begin with.
