You need to post up how to make one

Compressed air must be the way to go, just like that assasin from 'No Country for old men' used his cattle dispatching thingy

Lynx isn't as good as right guard, I think the powder in the anti-perspirants gives them a better kick.

Best one I ever made was out of steel steam pipe and used oxyacetylene.

Heh. I had a misguided youth. Would put a D-cell battery through 3/4" plywood though.

Only thing is oxyacetylene is not very portable so the smaller ones are a bit better.

There's some ace full-auto designs out there with metered propane injectors and fans to clear the spent gas and allsorts. Great toys.

P.S biggest mistake is too much fuel
