That looks pretty fun, but I'd use it once and then forget about it.

It does look fun but my I'm sure finestine will be coming after this next when she finds out it can fire more than 10 times without reloading ( california joke sorry)

Most of us dive to enjoy the environment and not to play stupid games underwater. Looks to me like a device designed to distract a diver from his surroundings and his gauges and to piss off the fish and any other divers nearby.
I have one coming via UPS and it's supposed to be here Monday. It will likely never see open water. What it will see is plenty of use in the pool with my YMCA and Girl Scout skin diving and snorkeling programs. I have things in mind already to get the kids going nuts over it. If it goes as I hope and think it will I'll likely add a couple more and do some underwater paintball type stuff in the pools I have use of. Things like getting a kid to relax and work on buoyancy so that they can skin dive down to the rig, line up a shot through a hula hoop weighted to stay on the bottom and watch the result. Or maybe fire and follow the ring through the hoop. If they can get comfortable enough doing this type of stuff when it comes time and they say they want to try scuba their skills will already be better than some DM's I see in the water when it comes to trim and buoyancy.
well, that could take the boredom out of the quarry......

One of our local clubmembers has one on a pony. From what I saw of it last weekend, it becomes much less impressive shortly after passing below 20-30'.
They borrowed one of my AL3o stage bottles for it. Talking with Andrew, with a slung AL30, you have about enough air for 1 dive only. Although we discussed jury rigging a 4500 PSI SCBA bottle to it. If it worked for my nail gun, then it should work for it. Ha Ha

Your crazy without a reducer to use 4500 psi is a death wish nail gun should max out a 200-300 psi absolute max

My thoughts exactly. It would make deco a lot more fun!!
