Oh my! This actually shoots! That's ridiculously awesome.
It looks alright, but does the trigger actually stop the FP (firing pin) from flying forward? Or, do you just pullback and let go?
The trigger actually DOES stop the plunger. :P. This gun also has good range: 30-40 feet!
Um....what you call the "plunger" is actually called the FP (A.K.A Firing Pin). 30 to 40 ft?!? That is pretty good. =D
I just use the Nerf name for it since its a Nerf gun build. Btw thanks!
