@CasinoVanart & DYI: Instoppable still isn't a word... if it makes a crap acronym now, then it shoulda been spelt rie' in tha firs' place... And now I'm sounding like I'm drunk for some reason. Crap.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

She ain't no word that's for sure, however artists (Cannon builders included) tend to do some strange stuff, including calling works of art rather different names.

What's western union? Unrelated to spudguns I speared fish (perch) on my vacation 12 of them one of them 10'' long (that is BIG for perch).
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

You can't mistake "Yellow Perch" as far I know, they are bright yellow. Pond fish around here, White Perch are common to rivers.

"brown ocean perch" are all together different.

ITWOST my new bb gun can put a bb 1/2" into a piece of wood. I will post it later, I am refining the semi auto portion. Also I will be gone for a week, so that slows things down. Summer is awesome, I can focus on what I want and not on homework.

I'm cold, wet, and with a rather light wallet myself.
Bloody British summer. :D

However, I'm never short of ideas - my spudding ideas, calculations and data folder hit a full gigabyte last week. :P
Some CAD designs, lots of excel spreadsheets, and a far number of information webpages.
