Compressed air or inflamable gas = good
Propane = Bad
Sorry guys, my brain was not in gear when I typed that :oops: (as I crawl back into my hole)

Well said Ragnarok :)

I think, however, that I'm going to put off on constructing a QEV pop-off gun.

I'm going to wait until I have a design cooked up that makes my hands tingle.

I'm looking into something that will fit on a wooden stock with a trigger mechanism to make it as realistic as possible.

Then I just need to get off my rump and purchase a CO2 regulator.

Ragnarok, you are, of course, correct. Using the language well does help to give the impression that you know what you're talking about. I will happily give ideas, suggestions, and even critiques of some of the items posted on this forum and not one person has challenged me. In part I hope this is because I have good ideas, but I'm also quite certain it's because I can string two words together.

Oh and back to the triggering thing... looks good to me.
