*note, these plans so far only on paper, the ram head might be to short, in a few days the prototype will be complete and will get to see if it actually works.

It should work fine as is. | *note, these plans so far only on paper, the ram head might be to short, in a few days the prototype will be complete and will get to see if it actually works.
