I believe in performance above all, but I can understand sacrificing some performance for the sake of looks or ease of handling - and in this case, job well done :)

Sticky tape design?
he wanted to get credit for this http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... tml#194697 :wink:

but now after looking at pictures again I realize that your gun is mostl likely a traditional coaxial...

Is the pipe below the main chamber an extension to main chamber? or is it just joined with the valve for the sake of ergonomics?

Its just a pipe to redirect the exhaust somewhere more friendly, and for ergonomics:D

I have to say Frank, You did a great job as always, and they always look almost like real guns.
