I have had this idea for a long time and wanted to do it my self....but money if avoiding me so I want to tell you guys to see if it works.

The idea is to have a arm mounted barrel with the combustion tank (or phenumatic) straped to your back via a modified back pack along with a propain steup and a large diameter tube conecting them. The barrel would be straped an inch or two from your elbo and maby wrist with a handle with the ignition (or blowgun/bush button) in a thumb or index finger position. the barrel would be mounted under your arm (make a fist as if you were holding a gun and the barrel would be mounted on the other side) and a grenade like loading mechonism (I forgot the website that has it but it's got some great diagrams for potato guns) between the two straps. so would it be easy to obtain??. or has it been done already??

Yes, the pneumatic one is cool, but mine has a specially-designed breech-loading barrel track system for easy and fast loading and easy barrel switching.
