    It's not bad going, especially given it's made with fairly basic tools, only thing that concerns me is it's likelyhood of failure as the Barrel Bamboo ages, Bamboo loves to splinter when it breaks and your face will be quite close to it if it does it while firing.

    What a load of old bollocks !

    I doubt if a pellet would leave the barrel.

    Well Bamboo has been known to hold air pressure, prime example being blow dart guns, wether or not the power it's shown producing is accurate is another story entirely, only way you'd know for certain is by building a replica or using the actual gun.

    I cannot see what the detent latch is supposed to do. it does not locate against any thing I can see. Then again I did not see a grassy knoll for the 2nd shooter.
    The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.

    Perfectly synchronised with the trigger pull. It actually recoils before the sear is tripped.

    Later they will be demonstrating how to dig beautiful swimming pools in the jungle with just shovels and a dream.
