Zeus, you speak truth. I went the opposite route; though my woman's okay with separate finances for our own personal use, and we use her account for joint purchases and such. But we do have a kid which although I wasn't thrilled about having, I wouldn't ever look back. Sounds like you got a good gir...

It's the diameter of a typical utility pole, yeah. :) (Depends on what class, but that's a bit technical. Sorry, used to be a lineman)

Won't be as tall; as much as I wanted to use a barrel more than 10 feet, transportation becomes difficult at that point. :(

My truck driver's brown too. But telling him that sounds racist.

Ah okay. If you go that route, go minimalistic with the size of that streamer; the more you add, the more it'll hurt aerodynamics.

In real guns, what you're describing is semi-automatic action. Has nothing to do with whether it's a single action (Manually cocking the hammer yourself, then pulling the trigger to drop it) or double action (pulling the trigger cocks the hammer for you, and also drops it).
