See, you're basically tying the tips together so that they cannot release paint, untill the elastic unravels enough to let it go. By adjusting the length of the cord, you can increase/decrease the delay between the pin pull (releasing the cord so it begins to unravel) and the time its loose enough for paint to go. You could remove those ball bearings, or at least make them less tight. That way, it doesn't have to have a hard impact, it can even go off in mid-air if you have good eye-hand coordination and timing. This means that it would be possible for it to spin much easier, becasue it doesn't always get stuck in thick brush. (Dontcha hate having a grenade land in a bush that absorbs almost all the paint?) I have to get some diagrams finished for Pun to see what my S-gun would cost (I have a feeling it's not going to be pretty) I've also been working privately on some cool ideas for paintball markers. Some of these I've alluded to, but I'm STILL trying to condence my components. As of now, I have the reciever behind the barrel being .75 inces, then you have a beavertail that's another inch long. Think of it, a Beavertail that's longer than the reciever itself!!! TO get an idea of what it looks like, think a Nanococker looking deal with the nelson components reduced to the vavle. The thing loooks like a short, single tubed Autococker actually. Or, with aestetic detailing, you would have a Baretta or Colt .45 on your hands. If I had some resources, paintball might be vastly different in the next few years.
