We are looking at selling the full gun ready to install and shoot made to installation specs for both the air and ground gun. It's been pretty labor intensive so we are looking into more cost effective methods of manufacture. Its pretty cool so I think it will sell.

Taigh, I was working on the same idea of a self contained gas gun. Is your gun rigged so it will fire when the firing solenoid actuates?

Here is a video of the night testing of the guns in the Martin 250CE top turret.

http://www.twinbeech.com/images/Aircraft/manufacturers/lockheed/PV-2/PV-2D84062/mx/turret/250ceguns.MOV

The guns are coming along nicely and we have made the front trunion mounts for the 8 gun nose and soon we will build the rear post supporting structure. Slow but steady.

Here are Sydney and Kenney cleaning the beast for the airshow this weekend at Salinas.

Goof balls!
