This is my first what do you reckon?

Im going to make another one what do you think I should make?

I dont have any damage shots, because my reducer at the front's got a big crack down the middle, and all the pressure is escaping, but it still works.
I want to make a totally new one thats perfect.

I like it, a decent first gun. go with pneumatic. more powerful, and reliable (than hairspray combustions, not propane)

I thought about going pneumatic but combustion is so much more fun, plus they take alot more to reload.
