Someone mentioned that my explanation doesn't really explain it, but it's kinda one of those things you have to see for yourself, so I'm going to get some better detailed pictures of the mechanism up tomorrow. Hopefully they should clear up any questions you have about how it works.

EDIT: Here's a video
of how the mechanism works, I hope that this will clear up any questions anyone has.

Fully assembled.


Right side hardware.


Left side hardware with the leftmost arm removed from the "axle".


Under the washer, washers and bolt removed.


Right side, under the washer. Loosen these two screws to remove the wood core on the left side, revealing:


Left side, under the wood core.


Three layers of wood. The middle "layer" has a wood core/PVC hub assembly, the "outside" two layers are connected by four screws through the wood core in the middle layer.
And in response to tech: the size of the frame is based solely on the draw of the blaster, so v2 will have a much shorter draw length.
