yer the fans edges were just filed down and pushed in. the fans edges have a slight taper so i can slide it in and have it not move, while i can easily pull it out again for fueling.
im having trouble with the ignition right now :x but, i will do some damage to some stuff i find around, the barrels ID is to big for a golf ball tho, fits a nerf but. maybe i could shoot it thru some paper for you :lol: i will see id i can fit some 40mm pipe in the barrel tho.

cheers for the A+ :wink:

Wow, that didn't take long. Nice upgrades. The fan is a little close to the rear but looks like it will just miss. Get the fuel injection and the ignition worked out and you should have quite a performer.

Consider installing a cam-lock adapter at the breech so you can build and use interchangable barrels.

hehe no it didn't, that's what you get when your determined to destroy something :lol: yer it is but it can easily be fixed but sliding it further in.
those bloody BBQ ignitors are so crappy, mine has just failed on me again. AGAIN. it used to go every shot but now it wont even spark at all. :x
i really need a stun gun, but being in Australia its kind of tricky :?
i will get one somehow.
mate if i had the money i would but the camlocks here are 60 bucks and im in dept 400 for insurance and rego of my scooter so im in no place to be splashin money about :(
at the moment i have got a 50mm barrel. but i cut the joiner off a 40mm so there is just a tiny lip so i can slide it in the back of the 50mm and it is just like a 40 mm GB barrel :wink: havent used it yet because of the ignition problem though, grr

BCarms can sell you a stun gun that has had the functional bits ripped out of its case...becomes a "high voltage generator" and passes easily in country. I believe MrCrowley did just that, and others from Down Under and in Europe.

Just save your clams until you can swing the cams...an upgrade you can look forward to a few weeks down the road... :wink:
