Notes

This was a spur of the moment idea, i havent been testing it long, but it seems to work nicely, lack of outright self healing can be a problem, but it is meant for quick pressure runs, get in > Degen target > get out...This is my first build written for Wiki, and i would appreciate a warm welcome and some help in testing the build ^_^ And a little help in cleaning the page up would be more than appreciated :D
