Frequently Asked Questions

How was the Ramset tool modified to fire projectiles?

The Ramset tool was modified by Richard (Royal Nonesuch) to include a custom trigger and firing pin assembly. It features interchangeable barrels, allowing it to fire arrows using .22 blanks or .22LR bullets.

What kind of projectiles can the modified Ramset tool fire?

The modified Ramset tool can fire arrows using .22 caliber blanks as a propellant. It can also be converted to fire standard .22LR bullets by swapping the arrow tube for a rifled .22LR barrel.

How does the modified Ramset tool's penetration compare to a standard pistol?

In comparative tests, the modified Ramset tool demonstrated higher penetration on targets like soda cans and sheet metal than a standard Walther P22 pistol, likely due to its custom barrel design.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling modified firearms?

Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection. Ensure the area is clear, handle ammunition safely, and never point the tool at anything unintended. Treat every modified tool as if it were loaded and understand its specific operational limits.
