stun gun ignition, utilizing the handle and trigger of an old drill (it even has a safety!) burst disk pressure regulation, intake and exhaust fans, and a check valve for fuel. Silenced barrel. it's almost done. *this* close.

well it's shown without the 4" to 2" reducer for the barrel, which is almost 4 feet long, over 4 feet with the silencer fitted to it. i wont have time to build the stock for the back but the spudbastard version 1 was fine without one - it's a luxury.

Bullpup buddy, bullpup.

yep, bullpup - that was the idea. only issue is that it's no ambidextrous - it's for right handed shooting only. i'd thought about mounting it underneath the chamber but fastening options were more scarce, and i always want to be able to unscrew the drill case to service the guts.

BTW, who decided that devices that throw off sparks were the best thing to use around white outfits w/lace?

Or was that an urban myth? I forget.

i'd take a night in the drunk tank or whatever over having my face incinerated. hell i'd rather lose a finger to an m80 than have my face harmed. i mean, that's my face man, people have to look at it and shit.

Some people believe that in order to avoid clean up costs, and to peddle more expensive favors, people perpetuate the legend.

taco bell does that to me.

We've all done it. best to get it out of the way so you can then have a firecracker go off in your hand.
Good times!
