And they keep doing it, so we're looking for a alternative. We need something that's durable, but not as powerful. We use a winch to draw the launching piston ( non pnumatic ) back, and let the winch spool out to let it go. We must keep the winch system to draw the piston back, but we need other options to replace the tubing. Any ideas ? If it can be easily implemented, that would be preferable, but any other idea is welcome.
Springs will last longer as long as they are not exposed to water/moisture.
