Ok so now that the source of the flame has been chosen, now I need to figure out a way to get the source to the front the truck (all of the original sources) were / are push button down and side discharge!, well I needed top discharge, so that meant that I needed to push down the can stem and still have a upward charge on a canister that would also be laying on it side. (Well I'm not asking for a lot am I)..

Well after striping down the top that came with the AXE can I learned that OK I can use the (small) plastic part at the end / bottom can for the tip of the but (IT gives it a mist) BIG BAMM.. Now I could use fluid if I wanted to switch up ???, NOPE!, I'm tweaked at this point! I mean (focused) and on a mission and cant be sidetracked buy possible other possibilities at this point. So now I head back the Pure “all trigger system”, DAM this works great!!, I just need to do two things to it in order for it to work for me!.

1. Permanently fill-in the horizontal side discharge nozzle
2. Drill a hole into the top of the it (dead center) so I can use a plastic tube to tap into the center and therefore allowing fluid / gas to run straight up, in lue of sideways..
3. Of course how to mount it (??)

Well after much research with some help of the wine god I Got it!, I got I all figured it! and here is what it looks like..













Ok, Now I need to work on the fire mechanism!. Well LHS was having a sale and I need a servo to work the trigger on the Aerosol can, so I got a Hi-tech HS-645MG (it OK) it’s got 107 oz of torque and all metal gears and for $38.00 worth the money.. But since (MetalMan) was busy I didn’t get the fricken employee discount!! (BOOO, BOOO).. LOL.LOL.. Life moves on..


Now I have the servo, the location, now lets mount it and get it working!..


OK I need to put this tank somewhere it doesn’t get hot or touch anything that is electric and I need to mount it someplace that it fits with the body on and off.. (I'm not asking for a lot am I) LOL.LOL

Got it.. I’ll strap the rear down to the side of the paintball gun and the front I’ll zip tie to the top of the steering brace, allowing half of the front nozzle to rest on top the of the receiver box. Now I needed to mount the servo to a location that would allow it to hit the trigger pushing it down and allowing the gas to escape through the top (without any leaks) and safety exit out the front of the build. I also needed to paint the can to match it new surroundings, I’ll get sticker made up for it later but here is the general idea.












This picture explains that the trigger can be activated by the top as well as the side / frontal..




Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..
