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 :lol:

After the Aquada, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see a Kiwi is one of the two people behind it.

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.

No kidding!

Tough folk though. I found this history of one of their resistance smgs to be pretty inspiring: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/blyskaw ... ssful-smg/

A likeable c*nt though :) It would be a long time before I would tire kicking Skyler up a flight of stairs on the other hand.
