South Florida ... July 2008 ... Dehydration experiences = EVERY day .... Mind you , it is pretty extreme here this time of year. Trying to shoot in any non air conditioned area is a complete waste of time , because after about two seconds , Mr Sweatty comes out to play. Personally I've found Gatorad...

I wasn't a convict ( oops , apparently that's now politically-incorrect in the UK , not allowed to call them con's any more ) ........

Yes Rob , I do think it's crazy spending that much on a logo that looks like that.

What does seem crazy , is the fact that it supposedly cost 400,000 quid to come up with this logo.

I bought a Feinwerkbau Model 2 a couple of years ago , and have never had any problems what-so-ever ..... It's simple to fill via the adaptor on a Co2 fire extinguisher ..... I think the world record is still held with a Model 2 ( sadly not by me though ! ).

The best wrist building exercise is simply to hold a full pint of bitter at arms length for as long as you can bear it ( or lager if you must ) ..... then drink it & try again ..... and again .... just don't try it before going to the range !

..... Just get yourself a Co2 fire extinguisher , unscrew the horn , screw on the FWB charging adaptor/filter & you're ready to fill ..... they last ages & can be easily refilled by any reputable fire equipment company for about $8.
