<div align="center">SPUDINATOR MINI

Provided By - Spudinator

The white stripes on it is actually exposed PVC that I scraped with a razor blade.

The barrel on it is for tennis balls, I have several others, I just don't have them pictured. The color looks kind of pink in the pictures, but its actually a maroon. The igniter is an electric grill igniter from Lowes, it only cost 20 bucks, but works like a stun gun (uses an AAA battery). The valve on the side is for venting, fueling, and also a release valve in case of a hang fire. The stock is from my Marlin Model 60 semi-automatic tube-fed .22, which I replaced with a fiberscope (glass reinforced zytel). The gun has quad ignition (3rd spark is not really visible) , 70 CI of chamber volume, 5 diff barrels (3/4", 1", 1.5", 2", and 2.5"), and a silencer on the 3/4 inch barrel.

I've always wanted an ignitor like that but the Lowes near me don't carry them. Mabey I'll wait a little while and they might get them in.

Hah, I wont even take offense at that, since it is quite obvious your IQ is lower than that of a bowling ball. You cant even spell "Ass" correctly, dumbshit.

Thanks for the positive comments guys.
