The Boulder shooter is a simple pneumatic linear punch. A single 3/4" bore 11in stroke double acting cylinder punches the Boulder. It has a white fiberglass rod (a driveway reflector rod) mounted underneath with 3D printed guides that acts as a additional linear guide to help keep the puncher in perfect alignment.

I don't have video of it, but tune in to Palmetto to see it in action.
