Ok what is it with people and needlessly flaming people ok he maynot have his guns coated in piston valves. I really dislike it when people do stuff like this I mean his cannons are a lot better then oh 75 to 100 cannons found on this site considering he did all that with out a site like spud (add which even you want to complete the word) files/shot/tech. The guy realizes how dangerous it is and has taken numerous safty precations ie blast shield, remote ignition, built for ABS so it wont explode and ripe him apart. Come on and give him a break and admite the fact he has do his homework (or at least most of it).

I never said I didn't like it.

There is some excellent work (the other sections have excellent things - the lego machine gun looks cool. I may have to try that - but Ubermodded).

It's probably the best springloaded BV mech. I've ever seen.

Safety ratings, and suggestive uses are understandingly placed well below an items capabilities. There is no binding physical reactions that occur when you slap a 'DO NOT USE FOR PRESSURE' label on the side of a pipe. Pipes can hold 200PSI even when they strictly state its not for pressurized uses. The pipe shown on the rifle obviously is capable of retaining the pressure, particularly given its small diameter.

Well since this 'guy' breaches the commonly accepted safety procedures, should we relentlessly deface him with replies of thirteen year olds? Lets pepper his email with 'fork off you gay homo' comments.

Essentially I do not understand your concern, or whatever it is your trying to do. Wouldn't particularly classify it as a 'concern', as you are clutched in deeming this man incompetent, and a 'idiot'.

O man the fun it is to deliver textual based 'lashings' to a unknowing victim!
