It's a slider carriage with a punch on it, powered by a giant load of surgical tubing, currently pulled back and held (for prototyping purposes) with a screw drive. We're releasing the catch with a hammer at this time.

It's big. It's heavy. It's slower than we want our reload to be. But it achieved the "perfect shot", so we're not ruling it out yet!

I'll see if I can sneak into our supply closet and snap a picture in a few minutes.
