Hi Mark
I understand the tight regulations -I was thinking along the lines of one or the other, a firing system (sound) or a recoil system (plugged barrel).
I am looking for a simple fast recoil system. After looking at Robin Ellis's recoil system I will probably go in that direction forgoing the 12 gauge cartridge system.
Having two choices to choose from at Armortek would cover both bases and make give your customers a choice. Just an idea.
Regards
JOE

As Mark and Gill have said, although this system does look good it does have some serious issues with safety 
As far as the UKTC is concerned any tank with this fitted would not be welcome at any event where members of the public attend. As for private functions and events, well thats another matter. I would like to think that any model with this system installed could be very firmly disabled if need be to satisfy mine and others fears of an accident happening.
Saying all this, it does look good doesn't it?

While on the subject of bangs i thought i would add to this thread. Apart from the initial testing of the blank firer in the J/P when it was built it has not been used since. The drum was cleaned after the initial test.
Having been asked to provide some bangs at a forthcoming show , i decided it should be tested again
.
As the drum turned it blew the 5anp fuse , and stopped. Replaced the fuse , and tried again , same result.
It took me a while to fine the problem which was the lifting plate ( brass ) , had become siezed in the 3 mounting screws . Because of this the lifting pin couldnt overcome the tightness, and thus blew a fuse .
It may be a good idea if leaving the blankfirer unused for a period of time to lightly oil these parts at the same time as cleaning the drum

Hi,
As a former sports shooter I recommend to clean and lubricate all moving parts of the firing system. It's the same as with guns. When they are not clean they cam jam! I use a spraycan of TSL (Tri Star Lube) which cleans and lubricates at the same time. Another advantage is that TSL completely dry's so it don't attrackt dust or dirt. It's the best you can get!
