Like I said, me getting one isn't really earth-shattering news.
Still, as far as spudding overall, it's pretty cool. For the price of a decent track pump, you're getting something with quite a lot of volume per stroke, but with an insane pressure ceiling. It certainly makes high pressure launchers (or even moderately sized medium-high pressure launchers like HEAL) a lot more viable.

I have to admit that I'm a little guilted by the ethics of purchasing something that's plagiarising someone else's design work (China as a whole does not exactly have a particular reputation for integrity on that front), but I suppose that it's not something I'm going to lose much sleep over.

On a note not very related to any of the above, I may at some point try discussing one of my current art/story projects with you lot, as it does have a strong element of experimental weaponry, advances in warfare and international laws of war, and such things are somewhat within the idiom of this forum.
The premise is that computing and robotics technology leapt forwards dramatically during the 80s and 90s, meaning that the technology deployed in their version of things like the Kosovo, Iraq or Afghanistan conflicts was rather different.
(There is also a
second premise, in that magic and monsters are real, although most of the world doesn't know that. Okay, it's perhaps a bit of an odd combination, but you should be under no illusions that my brain works normally).
That's not for here though - if I post anything, I'll put it in the non-spudgun section.
