Particle Thrower extension mechanism

Alright guys, so as most of you know, the particle thrower on the real hero packs has a mechanism in the barrel that extends the clear part of the barrel when the handle is twisted.

Heres my challenge. I want to try and replicate that feature on my particle thrower, and I wont rest until I find a way to do it. Does anyone have any knowledge how to make this work?

I’ve sketched out a few ideas on how to make this but am concerned that I may be jeopardizing the structural integrity of my barrel.

If anyone has any idea or even plans on how to make this work I would appreciate the help.

Also, if I find a way to do this I will be sure to post my findings and plans for others to see.

I just saw a post from a kid on here whose dad use a cd rom tray eject mechanism to do it. He had a video and it looked good, although there was no schematics…

Any idea who’s profile it was. I’d really like to see that video.

Try using the search function. Thats what its for.
