Re: Loading from a 4 frisbee bucket

Try adding something to the backside of the piston. Like a thin (.032") piece of lexan, a set weak spring steel springs, string, rubberbands etc. You just need something that the piston pulls behind itself to prevent the next disc from falling prior to the piston returning to the extended (ready to fire) state.

Hope this helps!
