Re: Is a Pneumatic hook launcher legal?

Sadly it is illegal. To me it seems like it is operating as a single direction pneumatic piston. No custom pistons or modifications to any COTS pneumatic components such as pistons are allowed.

Also you said the launch tube is rated to 1400psi, is that tube an actual pneumatics component( ie something you purchased)?
