The elves have been busy back at the workshop.

All the Sureshot goodies only anodized Vader black. Surprisingly shoots with some good speed. GB's no problem through 1/2 plywood or 3/4 MDF.

Total length is 25"

1:1 ratio

Videos likely after this weekend.

Our current PVC rounds fire quite well with this set up and 3 to 1 length to caliber makes for good flight stability.

I was wondering when the "sawn off" version would be coming out :)

Looks great, why not increase the "RAAAAH" factor by giving it two barrels? Firing at the same time of course to keep things simple.

Also, I would delete the porting in order to make full use of the available barrel length, while perhaps adding some cosmetic porting to a larger diameter collar around the muzzle.

JSR, there has been talk of a fully automatic GB gun. Pneumatic of course. Time is NOT permitting a lot of pet projects right now. :x
