Here is the mini I made last night just to shoot in the garage. I have found that using a charge end from a plug in power adapter works very well for the spark. The 90 degree works best. It makes a nice spark and is well insulated. I hold the gun in one hand and the trigger in another. Shoots very well. The two metal slugs are my favorite projectiles. It will go through one layer of a cardboard box but not two, so a box makes a nice target. I am shooting propane, by taking out the rear thumb screw and putting the barrel over the propane tip. Shoots most of the time. Brandon
