How exactly does the magazine work? I assume the golfballs are in the shorter length of pipe. Are they spring loaded and held in place with some kind of detent?
The beauty of it, is that it doesn't have any internal parts!- The launcher operates much like a "cloud" style BB Machinegun, in that it uses the Bernoulli Effect...
As the air is dumped out of the valve, it passes through a 1" hole that is drilled through the 1-1/2" sdr21 sleeved barrel. The airflow sucks a ball out of the magazine and past the 1" opening.
After it passes the 1" port,
pressurized air forces it down the barrel!
Each successive ball is pulled and pushed in the same fashion, until there are no balls left. This all happens very quickly, hence the full-auto designation.
