For some reason that looks completely boss sauce with that little stubby barrel. I think BTB's style is rubbing off on me :)

And lol at blatant pneumatic trolling.

It looks like he's moved into some sort of apartment.

Good job, by the way, but what is it with the "pneubmatic" thing?

Good work, but you didn't post a fuzzy picture of the spark gap firing.

Why not?

GF, we'll stop mocking you once you build a hybrid. It only has to be like Qwertys' or Warheads'. As long as it fires.

I haven't built a working hybrid yet either, but I don't go on about it.

while I was still living on my acreage
Horses now infringing on my shooting area, I saposs for 400 a month I could run them off (they bring in 350). Not worth it to me.

What are you using to genarate the spark? It's nice you went the distance on the paint job, not many do...

Given that walking to test sites has never been an option here, as the neighborhood is loaded with people who would phone the police if I was witnessed carrying a [insert media term for terrorist doomsday device] down the street, this situation has put a fairly significant damper on larger scale projects for the time being.
That sounds familiar, at least you had previous open air opportunities.

One of the terms I invented to belittle certain pro-pneumatic/anti-hybrid users on this site. :lol:
I admit to being one of the naysayers in the past, but now... it's hard to go back!
