Not sure about the antennas, but the Air Launcher look pretty cool.

I used one of those for pulling cable over drop ceilings or across spans. Then I found the bow fishing reel mech and attached that to the slingshot. I often get strange looks walking into places with the slingshot.
They can be built cheaper, but considering the time involved, those are ALL great bargains.. VERY effective!!
I can attest to the use of such 'tater guns'. Mine uses an irrigation valve and a blow gun trigger to 'fire' it (see pic). It'll launch it's PVC projectile 500Ft away, given enough elevation.
I "weighted" my bullets with lead sinkers.... BAD DASS! The Zebco 808 fishin' reel fits on the end of the barrel and is loaded with PowerPro 100lb test.
About 6 years ago, it cost me $66 to build and took about 5 hours. So the prices these guys are getting are fair IMHO.
BTW, note the threaded coupling I used on the breach of the barrel..... Miine is a "takedown" model lol

@ Geoexplorer69:Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
