Examining with disappointment and dismay the current ranges
available for retail purchase, BorgCo has decided that it's time
something better was on offer.
Behold the new BorgCo Party Popper !
It resembles in many ways a regular party popper, apart from the
fact
that the payload chamber
is about the size of a 10 litre bucket, and
it's injection -moulded from thick plastic so as to be reuseable.
The "bucket "comes prefilled with paper streamers, toys, glitter,
paper hats, and humorous mottoes.
The propellant is a large automotive airbag, initiated by an AA
battery
and a capacitor with charging circuit in the shaft, which also
incorporates an extending steel pole; this is braced against a solid
surface to mitigate the recoil, as the current version is not
recoilless*.
To use, turn on the firing circuit and wait for the warning light to
start
flashing. Put on the ear defenders, goggles and gloves (included in
the kit), brace the pole against a solid surface, pull out the safety
pin,
and squeeze the trigger.
Hilarity ensues.
The pack also includes a comprehensive first -aid kit.
Reload rounds are available at a modest price, or just buy the DIY
option and fill your own**. The AA battery is good for a couple of
dozen firings.
*Development is continuing, however.
