    Ah yes, the 'good old days'! 16 hour days and bruised shoulders from testing the bloody things, having plenty of money from making them and no time to spend it from trying to keep up with demand, and charging $100 per test shot because of the bloody recoil. Leaning out the side of a machine whilst full of adrenaline from the chase is one thing, cold-bloodedly shooting a 'standing deer' (a 44-gallon drum on a pair of saw-stools) to regulate the barrels for the customers preferred 'ideal range' is quite another story. Luckily, I recorded all the barrel angles for the specific ranges so I could ultimately correctly preset them to avoid test firing. I did enjoy the capture work in the machine though - that was the cream!

    I wonder if the makers of these new CO2 'toys' have actually considered the damage the weights can do if they hit the target. I do like the thought of catching drones with them!
