Unboxing, Breaking Down, and Reassembly 

Thanks for the suggestion! There’s a lot that goes into our engineering and design decisions, and although there are always tweaks we or others may consider, the process to make changes requires a LOT of time, testing, and financial resources. We’ll certainly keep your idea in mind as we continue to perfect our launchers.

Good catch-of course you should not put your hand in front of the barrel when it is charged up. However, even if the launcher IS inadvertently fired when the barrel is removed, the round will just fall out of the chamber with zero velocity. Without the barrel being screwed in, the gun is harmless. In fact, this is actually a great way to break in the launcher without wasting rounds-remove the barrel, engage the air tank, and fire away! As you know, there is a mechanical safety switch located by the trigger and there is an on/off air switch. The safety prevents the trigger from engaging, while the on/off air switch charges/de-gasses the gun. Both render the PTX “safe”, but in different ways. You can absolutely engage the trigger safety switch as needed.

⁠​⁠@@paradigmtacticalsystems2105Are you sure about that? According to manual, the trigger safety is strictly mechanical and does not de-gas the gun.

@@BonesDT Please forgive the confusion. I was referring to the air on/off switch, not the mechanical safety. Please see edits to my original response.
