I thought you just put those on hybrids so that they would hold pressure...?
I use it so I can do dry fires without using any ammo. Just for show.

It is a plastic covering over the back of a latern lighter you can make that "stops your spray from hitting the flint. It doesnt surround it but it covers the back half of the latern lighter.

Dont put anything in your barrel. You want a good seal and the more friction you have(not to much tho)The more powerfull shot you have.

Hmm,You want a good seal with a moderate amount of friction to keep the seal. You want your ammo to "glide" in your barrel. Not have to hammer it down.

I used aluminum foil wrapped around an O- ring.
