The frame of the Shocker is the grip / handle section. Its main function is to give you a platform with which to shoot (by holding it in your hand) but the frame also serves to cover and protect the marker's electronics and solenoid assembly.

The frame on a Shocker is the same as one for a Nerve, so they are interchangeable. You can use a Nerve frame on a Shocker, however some Shocker frames won't work on a Nerve (due to the trigger rest plate, explained later). The frame is held onto the body by two 10-32 x 11/16" screws, which accept a 1/8" allen wrench for removal and disassembly.
Note that some frames (Tonton frame, Dark Shocker frame, Nerve frame) use one 11/16" screw in front, and one 1/2" (5/32" allen wrench) screw in the rear. This shorter screw is countersunk into the frame for a better feel.

The only concern you need to keep in mind regarding the frame is caution during reassembly to the body. If done incorrectly the wire harness will get pinched and damage the electronics. This is explained in further detail on the powerswitch actuator page.

Trigger Rest Plate:
The trigger rest plate is a small piece of aluminum, located in the top of the frame, that the trigger pre-travel screw rests under. This is only present on aftermarket frame, and Nerve frames; the stock Shocker frame doesn't have this feature.
The rest plate is a required part for the frame to work with a Nerve. If, on a Nerve, the rest plate isn't present in the frame, the trigger pre-travel screw will fall right into a corresponding hole in the bottom of the Nerve body (meaning, the screw won't have anything to press against). As a result, Nerves use the rest plate to retain compatibility between Shocker and Nerve triggers. Therefore, a Nerve frame will work on a Shocker without modification, however a Shocker frame will only work on a Nerve if the trigger rest plate is present. The rest plate is held into the frame using a 6-32 x 5/16" screw (same as the grip panel screws). View this scan from the Nerve manual:
