Wow!!! Incredible! Now that you mention it, I seem to remember visiting that
page about a year or two ago. But there's still nothing like seeing it in the
flesh! :)
If you can make it to the next adult play day at the Construction Site
(assuming they have one this summer), I could bring the camera and make a
little MPEG movie (up to 1 minute of video & sound on a floppy disk :) and you
could use that to help show the repeater mechanism in action if you'd like.
I forget how fast your gun fires (jaw was too busy dropping to notice a detail
like that :), but it seemed like at least a couple or three rounds per second?
Made a really neat clicking sound too!
