Unless you're going for small size and don't care about power... doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

While a longer barrel will generally give you more muzzsle energy, BtB tends to make high pressure launchers with very efficient valves that are still powerhouses even with very short barrels.

First minute and a half of this clip reminds me of when I spot people at hardware stores possibly stocking up on supplies to build a spud gun. Not that I ever approach them, but sometimes you feel like going up to them and explaining that they've bought the wrong PVC pipe/fittings/glue

I seriously hope to run into a situation like this. That would make my life complete.
Sarcasm is the body's natural defense against stupid.

My BioAnth lecturer always goes on about how back in the 60s it was okay to do research that included repeated x-rays of children's heads but nowadays you'll be lucky if you can do research that results in just one x-ray per child after filling out a mountain of paper work.
