How much does a “standard” typhoon weigh?
Since you developed the Autococker mechanism, and that is known to be a maintenance-hog, how do your guns (i.e. blazer, typhoon) differ in that they are not maintenance hogs. I didn’t design or develop the AutoCocker. I developed the use of pneumatic automation for paintguns by putting automation to work on my own equipment. On one of my early semis, I used a sliding trigger and mounted the automation components in a group in front of the trigger guard . It was a double barrel, so the reg. was mounted under one barrel and the ram under the other, with the 4-way valve in the center and attached to the front of a slide-trigger frame. Bud Orr was shown the gun and he recognized that my system could be applied to the front of a Sniper thus making it Auto-Cocking. He did his own thing to make it work on his gun. Pneumatic automation (pneumation) has been around since the days of steam power and has long been recognized as a reliable way to make things move. Most modern, hi-volume – hi-speed
