Seems you were in a bit of a hurry to get out of there
Being an adult has one advantage - you can always say
officer I heard a noise and I saw two teenagers with this thing right here, when they noticed me they ran off in that direction (point at a random direction)
Children are the future

Cool idea. My version so far is that it's a signal device. I carry a nivea deodorant with me too
Only a little complication with the latest gun(I don't know how to explain the muzzle suppersor)

Hey man, you got any information on your fuel? Is the whole bottle purged with N2O and then you put some methnol in the bottom? Or are there ratios.
Cheers.

The N2O is from ammonium nitrate. It displaces water. When the bottle is full i get rid of the few drops of water and add about a soup spoon of methanol. The mixture is pretty much on the edge of the bottle's threshold.
