Re: pic: Team 1114 - Simbot SS

can anyone enlighten me on how their shooter works? all i can tell from the pics is that its very thin and pokey.

I watched some videos, and the pokey thing goes out very fast, and then retracts quite slowly. im assuming thats a characteristic exhibited by some sort of windup/retraction system with some sort of tensioning/launching system (if it were pure pneumatics, for example, it should have retracted just as fast)
