Specific User Considerations
- Fatigue or weak arms can't lift gun steadily
- Extreme low temperatures
- Too rapid a rate of fire
- Assembly difficult for disabled users (lost arm, or finger)
- Bad vision
- Clogged Barrel or Debris in system
Possible Areas of Improvement
- Shooting accuracy
- Shooting range and distance
- Gas efficiency
- Weight and size of marker
- Trigger pull distance
- Multiple projectile firing
- Reduction in number of components
- Ease of disassembly for cleaning and service
