WW - welcome.  Metal spud guns - eh?  Sounds serious - like serious fun.

Got your PM.  You're leanring the system.  Each board is a little different.  The key is to ask questions - the more you ask the more discussion is generated.

We're generally wide open here about topics, the limiting factors being SAFETY, legality, and politeness.

We'd love to see some of your pix.  Post a few if you can.  There are several free hosting sites (you post your pictures to the host site and then refer to it in your post on the forum).
