 ===== Building Your Own JPP =====

+If you cannot afford a professional dart gun, you can still build the //Junkie Pacification Platform// at home! While the final design of the //Junkie Pacification Platform// is up to the individual builders, you will still need some basic components. Many of these components can be sourced from paintball or airsoft supply stores.
+Other than the body, magazine & cosmetic components, **do not try to 3D print these things**. You are dealing with pressurized gas. Use properly milled metal fittings and valves, and not be cursing yourself later.
-==== Materials Needed ====
+On top of the aforementioned **darts**, **Narcan® shots** and **CO2 chargers**, you will also need:

+==== Gas Valve ====
+On the end of the CO2 tank, you will need a **gas valve** that releases the gas when the valve is opened.

+==== Trigger Mechanism ====
+The **trigger mechanism** needs a lever that actuates the gas valve on pull, with a 5-pound force threshold for safe handling. Mechanical triggers respond instantly without power but wear over 1,000 shots; solenoid triggers enable semi-auto fire yet drain batteries in 200 cycles; pneumatic assists reduce pull force to 3 pounds but introduce leak risks. //(Just stick with a normal mechanical trigger, for the sake of your sanity.)//
+You may also want to consider a **safety switch** that blocks trigger movement unless disengaged. Mechanical slides prevent 99% of accidental fires but can stick in dirt; electronic biometrics scan fingerprints for access yet fail in 10% of wet scenarios; grip-pressure sensors activate only on firm hold but trigger false positives with gloves. //(Again, stick with mechanical. You have options if you want to get crazy with your build, but 99% of you won't need or want to.)//
+==== Pressure Regulator ====
+The gas valve needs to open up into a **pressure regulator** which maintains steady gas output to prevent velocity spikes that could harm targets. Use a simple diaphragm valve for reliability. Most of you will want an **adjustable regulator** that allows 50-300 psi tuning for range. For autists: Fixed regulators simplify design restrict adaptability, while electronic sensors could theoretically provide precise control via apps but would increase battery dependency and cost.
+On the regulator should be a screw-threaded vent. This will function as a **velocity adjuster** that tunes speed from 100-250 fps for 5-20 meter ranges. You will be looking for a consistent 110-120 fps at all ranges, necessitating easy field adjustment. Manual screws allow quick field tweaks without tools and are the way to go. Digital potentiometers integrate with displays for 1 fps precision but require charging, while fixed preset orifices eliminate user error at the cost of versatility.
+==== Barrel ====
+For the **barrel**, use smooth-bore tube, 6-8 inches long, rifled lightly to stabilize dart spin without over-stressing the needle tip.
+Feeding into the base of the barrel after the pressure regulator is the **dart loader**. This can be a simple breech-loading slot, or a hopper/magazine that holds multiple rounds.
+==== Body ====
+Once you get your basic components arranged, all that remains is to tie it together in a ergonomic form factor. From 3D printed designs and recycled black market firearm parts, to a simple 2x4 with electrical tape, the sky is truly the limit.
+==== Accessories ====
+Use laser sights or optics for increased accuracy.
+An artisan leather bandolier to tastefully store your darts on the field adds a sharp degree of professionalism, with an old timey Americana vibe.
+Hackers may be able to leverage using a rail-mounted IoT device and fingerprint scanner to automate the signing of consent forms.
