Assembly:
Glue cap onto end of air tank. Glue adapter to other end of air tank. Glue the 1 inch pvc into adapter. Glue ball air release valve onto the 1 inch pvc. Glue the adapters for secondary tank onto the secondary tank. Glue the other one inch piece of pvc onto end of ball release valve. Glue the secondary tank onto the 1 inch pvc. Drill 2 holes in the base of the barrel just big enough to fit the wires through. Connect the wires to the electric release valve. Glue the electric valve into the base of the barrel, running the wires through the holes. Glue the holes up, too. Glue the pistol grip onto the large tank close to the back. Reinforce it with duct tape. Connect the positive wire from the valve onto the output of the pushbutton switch. Connect the positive end wire from the battery case to the input of the switch. Connect the negative wire from the valve to the negative wire from the battery case. Glue the switch onto the pistol grip. Glue the battery case to the tank right in front of the pistol grip. Screw the rifle stock to the end of the tank. Glue the foregrip so that you can comfortably hold the stock against your shoulder, and hold the foregrip and pistol grip at the same time. Drill a hole just big enough to fit the bike valve in tightly. Glue the bike valve in. Then glue the barrel onto the secondary tank. Let the glue prime for at least 24 hours, or risk busting the seal of it. Hold the nail with pliers, and heat it up with the lighter. Melt all connections together to permanently seal everything. File down all edges. Sand away any exess glue. Then spraypaint camo. Pump up the main tank A LOT, at least until you can't pump anymore. If the seal breaks, you didn't to a good enough job. Open the ball valve for 2 seconds, and then close it. Shove a dart down the barrel with the dowel. Press the switch. Watch confusion from 100 feet away in a tree. Have Fun!
