I don't know. There are two big reasons that I believe this design is quite lacking in explanation.For one thing, it states somewhere there that the battery is only for stabilizing bio-rhythmic feedback. That would make sense if there wasn't a circuit. There is no power source according to the schematic and the power source there is supposedly non-functional. The second issue I've had: Tiny cartridge, lots of webbing. We even saw how much webbing the cartridge could hold when it blew up in his face. It was a bunch of strands that could probably hit ten yards. It then suddenly becomes able to produce more than that when he is in the sewers.
Other than those two issues, I could buy into this design. I think the reason this forum is so on top of that design is because of hype from the movie, and not about function. I still think that these three are the most realistic shooters:
Actually, back to the peter parker shooter I just listed, I'd even go as far to say that I'd be more willing to believe in the movie shooter if he had that white tank on his forearm so that the fluid would be supplied by a bigger source. Then the whole use the micro-chip, make an advanced spinneret, have a gauge, and using a watch makes more sense, because it's housing a fancy valve, and not all the fluid.
Heck, with that design, you could even modify it to make it easier to reload. If you run out of fluid, you stick the solenoid onto pressure vessels on the waist, and they will refill the forearm tank until you either release the "trigger" or the pressure equalizes. It might not be easier than the cartridge, but it will hold a lot more fluid, and based on the fact that two or three of you are going to the costume forum, I imagine you'll try to wear that under a suit. You can't change the cartridge under a onesy.
The forearm design would be good for parkour as well. the tank would eliminate a few techniques. The belt would work, but the tube might get caught or cut. Just something to think about.
