What are you using to shoot your grappler claw up to the pipe? Is it a spring, pneumatic cylinder or combo of the two?

It is a steel compression spring. The trigger is a pneumatic cylinder operating a simple over-center lever.

The dart itself has some bearings that ride the surface of the trigger cam to get a repeatable release.

Anthony,

Thank you for the reply! Where did you source the compression spring? We have tried a few different springs and cannot seem to get the distance. Also, some of the stiffer springs are very difficult to compress to set the trigger!

Thank you,
