	Wow. Terrible. I can't believe you tried to pass off that stolen picture as even coming close to what you described. Beyond that, your description is inconsistent (pressure-launch, but you can apparently pump and recharge the tank with one hand for -2?!?!? What is that???). I'll stop. If you don't know why else this is bad, then... Yeah I'm done here.

Commentary

On Quey's rating, I am puzzled by it. I'm not sure what the problem is with the "stolen picture" (aren't all of them?) but your problems mostly seem to be fluff-oriented over mechanical. Fair enough, but not really the important part. Though, you seem to be confused. It's pressure-launched, but I make no mention of pumping with one hand. That's refering to shooting it with one hand, something identical to light crossbows, which is a property of weight and not reloading it. It doesn't need reloading, just retracting (possible with 1 hand in this case). I would like to know more on what problems you see in order to see if its a problem and how to solve them. -- Eiji-kun 10:47, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I've got no idea what he's on about, but there are a few things that might need addressing. What action is needed to retract? What happens if the object and the user are the same weight? What if the object is secured, and not free to move? Fix those, then I'll give it a rating. --DanielDraco 11:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Good catch, I've added those. Rate away. -- Eiji-kun 11:27, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Actually one of those wasn't a good catch, because it seems you already had a retracting action listed. Whoops. But I'll go ahead and rate it on the presumption that you'll remove one of them. --DanielDraco 11:42, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
