Re: Bungy and Surgical tubing

I believe designs that do not use tubing or bungee or spring assist can exceed 80psi piston speed.

Specifically, mechanically latch the kicker, pre-charge the kicker with 60psi, leave the opposite end of the cylinder vented to atmosphere (no restriction), then release the latch.

I favor a rule requiring all kicker pistons to have hard external stops. That gives the inspectors clear guidance and they don't have to make subjective judgements on-the-spot about whether or not it's required.
