Re: Is a Pneumatic hook launcher legal?

What do you mean by partially assemble? When buying pneumatic lost one, they come completely assembled...

What would be legal, from a pneumatics standpoint (safety would have to be evaluated separately), would be to have a COTS pneumatic piston push your hooks out of a tube. Essentially, you're separating the hooks and the pneumatics by having a COTS device contain the air and a simple mechanical interface between the piston, hooks, and tube.
