Great gun, how many rolls of electrical tape did you go through? Any chamber/barrel specs? Love the laser and the sight.

From what I can see the gun looks very nice. Could you take a pic of the whole gun side-on?

It looks interesting, but pictures from a few different angles really would help.

Now, I just need to find some fun to poke at you. Damn, I used up the last of my fun last night - does anyone have some they could lend me?

Wait - I didn't just say that.

Hmm, yes indeed. I like you, polite and eager, very nice qualities.
As for the cannon, more pictures would be good, but from what I can see, it is a combustion, is it not? Very nice looking, I look forward from hearing from you later in other forums.
