Actually I am not.  I just wasn't afraid to cut up a perfectly good marker
to see what could be done with it.  I published my results and now I guess
I'm an expert.  At least on the GTVe marker.

I'm glad you got a pressurized magazine to work.  My first and only attempt
at it was an utter failure.

The first rule in R/C Tank Combat is that nothing is 100% reliable!

Nope.  I've only worked with two markers.  The first was an el-cheapo that
wasn't worth the scrap value of the metal it was made out of and my current
marker, the GTVe.  My next tank marker will probably be an AGD Automag
Classic.  You can get them used for not to much.  Through my research it's
my opinion that the Automag (costs aside) will be the ideal tank marker due
to it's compact size and modular construction.  If anybody else knows of
another single tube blow forward marker in current production I'd love to
hear about it.
