Re: Gas Springs

Our testing of surgical tubing yesterday resulted in 60lbs of force required to stretch 2-1ft loops of tubing to a length of 3ft - YMMV

We did see a lot of wear on the tubing and had some failures. If we go this route, will be sure to bring plenty of extra tubing and be ready to replace between matches

The tubing we tested was purchased from ACE. Hardware, don't know any of the specs on the tubing
