solenoid with a piston head.
No return spring on it for maximum speed in both directions.

Problem with the IR glow BBs isn't getting them to glow only in IR, it's the toxicity of the materials that do it.

We have effectively exported the pollution problem to another part of the world. Remember, The solution to pollution is dilution. Direct Quote from Alberta Agriculture research scientist as she was pouring a vial of lifecide down the sink.

Frank, everyone here is a PVS14 OMNI VII douche nugget anyways don't need a huge amount of material to make it glow. Could even be visible but so dim not visibile to eye.

The limiting factor to the solenoid idea in the past has been power. NICD, NIMH batteries don't cut it, its certainly possible now.
