Whats a vibrating pickgun?

The differance in picking what?

All pick guns work in the same way, an electric pickgun uses a motor to bounce the pick needle and a hand one uses a trigger,

Im not entirely sure what you are asking maybe try typing a bit more in the post and explain yourself a bit better,

You state your a locksmith apprentice?? do you mean you want to be a locksmith?
An apprentice is someone that is being trained profesionally by professionals o the job and maybe some schooling if available for the subject at hand,
If this is the case what course are you taking?

So are you actually an aprentice or wanting to be one?

Have you been taken on by this locksmith? if so stick with it youve got a rare opportunity there,

If not and your looking then i think this site will give you a very good understanding and advice on it if you have a good read around,

If you havent already, click on my picture and have a read up on the stuff there and buy yourself a few locks to play with,

A snap gun, and an electric pick work about the same way. An electric pick is easier to use different positions is all.

Actual lockpicking is more reliable, and will open a larger number of locks though.

I'm taking it that you are not an apprentice, and you just wish you were one, or that your considering your learning options.
Martin is a pretty cool name choice 8)
