Thug is a lot of fun. Small enough to fit in a trunk - big enough to have some kick. Its major features include:

~170 cubic inch chamber
Piezoelectric ignition system
Mediocre silencer

That handle can be made via a how-to on this website (under the How-To section).

Overall good looking gun..until u reach the front of it. What is up with that big old (mock?) silencer. I personally believe that it just looks silly. But what can i say, its all made up in the two very nice handles. Good craftmenship. One other thing. Does that BBQ lighter do a suficiant job in lanching spuds? I guess i ask this to everyone. Ive had some bad experiences with BBQ lighters.
