I concocted this during Trig class. We have those nifty tablet pcs. Damn those things are cool! Anyway, I just started its construction. So, once it's done I'm going to post pics. Any advice?

The way it works is pretty standard. Rotate and pull the bolt back. This action primes the spring just like every other spring gun. Now drop in a segment of 1/2 in. PVC with a stefan in it into the chamber and insure that it fits snugly onto the end of the plunger tube. Push the bolt forward, which closes the door. And if you don't know how the trigger mechanism works, you're just silly. After you've fired, pull the bolt back and hit the eject button on the bottom of the gun. Repeat process. I'm working on a magazine fed version of this, but it'd require an ejector, which is no easy task. Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

I guess not. You can right click and hit show picture if it is unclear.

It's just a spring and a rod basically. By smacking the button the shell is disengaged from the plunger's nub. The spring just resets the button.

Oi, I just realized that I use Mozilla Firefox Web browser (get it, its way cool!), so I don't know how all of you IE or netscape people can zoom the pic. Sorry!

Firefox market share:

June: 3.5%

September: 5.2%

That's pretty damn fast growth. I've been using it for over a year and it's definitely ready for prime time. As soon as they fix that damn rendering/flow issue it will be perfect. Of course IE doesn't parse things correctly either, webmasters have just compensated for its quirks.
