Hi,
Cool pistol handle.
There´s the usual advise that one shouldn´t put holes in pipes but rather where they are joined w something else - and thru both layers.
Regards
Soren

Flour isn't going to do much damage, granted, but if I saw you do that in the general direction of my truch I wouldn't be a happy bunny. I think for your sake a bit more caution wouldn't go amiss.

well in theory flour would do some amount for damage because it is heavier than bbs and the bbs would burst out at a low velocity. althought if aimed safely it could be good in airsoft wars with bbs or flour acting as a smoke bomb with less explosion. nice gun though. i like the airsoft handle/trigger.

I like the way the over and under design done with that weird wye fitting. Could someone tell me if there is some particular reason why he chose ABS over PVC for a combustion?

i just noticed a really odd part of the gun. you spray the fuel in the front and not the back.... i guess its not unusual though. but man that trigger set up is awesome.

flour is not that hevey nor dangerous but you got to pack it losely, being that this breaks upon exiting the barrel
Nice gun but the barrel is pretty short, and the barrel is pretty far from the chammber, the tee looks like a long type and that elow on top should be a malexfemale type

flour packed tightly would be heavier than bbs though. and if it didnt explode on exit of the barrel then it would probably do some damage.
