This is an extremely cool idea. OK, that's nothing *that* technical 
about it, but respect to the guys who even *thought* of this!

It's one of those things that there ought to be a patent for - it's 
totally obvious once you've seen it, but you would never think of this 
yourself...

Too late now to get a patent :-) The creating-a-tube-from-a-reel idea is 
not new, in fact it is used in many industrial processes (cigarettes, 
packaging food, metal pipes etc).

I bet none of those come in a handy hand-held gun though. ;-)

Seriously, this is pretty neat, but I bet you'd get bored after ten
