I went to the Kent hardware store to see what I could see. There I found a ten-foot length of "PEX" tubing in 1/2-inch diameter, and asked a worker to cut up four six-inch lengths, as well as two sixteen-inch lengths for a separate BigShock project. The tube had to be bought in its entirety at $4.10 CAD, but that's pretty cheap for "experimental building material." I also couldn't find my existing electrical tape, so I bought two new rolls at 0.69 each.

Turns out the Big Salvo fires Elites pretty darn well! It was raining so I was limited to indoor testing, but the shots travelled twenty feet nice and straight. Pumping takes about thirteen cycles. The trigger releases the four darts in quick (and quiet!) succession, with what seems like little reduction in power. Maybe there are four separate tanks?

The chopstick is the ramrod without which the darts would get fatally squished while loading into those tight tubes. The peanut butter is for cleaning off the goop from the Value Village sticker. 😁 Stage One complete! Stage Two: see if Demolisher rockets can be fitted somehow.
