It is a small rechargeable co2 canister, rated at 250 bar pressure, an array of fittings, and a 2 foot copper "barrel". The idea is to charge the canister with the compressor, load a projectile in the barrel, and let it rip :thefinger:
it's quite lethal, and I'm welcomign a burglar to my place :hahaha:
it releases so much pressure that there is steam coming out of the barrel after taking a shot :thumbup:
just gotta experiment with what type of shot will work best
