I don't think I could make a shell ejecting one though...... but I will still try.

It doesn't have to be shell ejecting :) I'm going to have a second attempt. The stock will be hard to make it sturdy.

Wait! I have an idea, why don't we just do a collaboration on it together! Does it sound good? If so, we should use email, that is all I really have.
