    Need some help with a Quark QS2L-X

    Compact EDC Thrower to blind aliens in space from earth.... help please

    Awesome link man! Thank you. My only concern is size (length, not so much diameter) as I like small stuff. Hell, be it airsoft guns, real guns, cars, RC cars, etc, I ALWAYS want the smallest package with the most performance. Which is inherently impossible. :( i do enjoy the challenge though!
