We finished the design, and it sat there for awhile, while we were preoccupied on other projects. After a couple of years, Larry Larson went over the possibilities to prepare for production.

The gun was of incredible strength, as Bill always insisted. I decided the logical way to test these was to do so with Bullseye smokeless powder-definitely not recommended to the public! I'd stoke the cylinders up, and pop the cap. You can't, however, ignite Bullseye with the spark from a percussion cap going through a tiny little hole in a blackpowder cylinder nipple. We opened these up, and boy, we were getting ignition! We found we couldn't get enough Bullseye in to blow the cylinder. Even if not filled up, we could not blow it with Bullseye powder! (Again, not to be tried at home!)
