For firing/priming the gun I used a backwards hose handle, because if triggered quickly it works well, and I find it easier to trigger when it's backwards. The hose handle is epoxied to a brass ball valve with a straight lever handle. That ball valve controls the air flow between the main air tank and the firing chamber, which is the black hose and the inside of the hose handle. So, in order to prime the firing tank, the hose handle is twisted counter-clockwise, then returned to it's original position to close off the main tank. I did this so that I wouldn't have to shift my grip around to re-prime the gun. Here's a close-up:

For loading stefans, I wanted to try something experimental. I hadn't seen anyone do this before, so I wanted to see if it would work well. The barrel basically rear loads with a ball valve, with air entering just ahead of it. It is similar in principle to an RSCB clip, but with manual loading. I realize it doesn't have the high burst RoF that a RSCB clip has, but it can be easily loaded at a steady rate overall and you don't get misfires. Here's a close-up:

My goal for the gun was to have decent power with a good RoF, without having to move my hands all around to work it. For the most part I feel I succeeded. Only the left hand has to move to load darts (and this movement is minimal), the power is a bit less than my modded BBBB (this is a guesstimate), and it gets maybe 5 shots before it really loses power (another guesstimate). It's cold out and I'm sick, so my range tests have been limited to a 30' length in my house, and that's what I'm basing my range/power loss ideas on. Questions/comments/flames?
