They need to hold a Pneumatic Side-Match, like we do at the pistol range with Shotgun Side-Matches. :lol:

I'm going to try to throw together a Pneumatic cannon club in Pflugerville this fall. There are ****tons of smart people down here, can't wait to see what kind of systems they'll throw together.

And it would help spudfiles membership, too!

No, no, make it out of steel, and slip a 12g CO2 cartridge in your pocket, and when nobody's looking.... *chk-schhhhhhckchs*

Well since CO2 doesn't support combustion that wont work for a hybrid. Then you would just have a pneumatic and thats cheating! Ha ha hairspray only!

I got another one! Slide a 1" chamber up your sleeve with a female quick connect and a ball valve, and quickly dump it through a male quick connect into the chamber!

What about concealing the valve... COAX! Hide the pilot in a fancy ignitor.
