On Suckering In a New Generation of Spudders Yes... I realize it's a completely hilarious/original way to phrase it. Rather than an introduction establishing that I don't think new spudders need to be suckered in, along with other wordy creations, it would be much better to just dive in, givin the ...

I don't know about you but no amount of fancy ARs or AKs, custom built or exotic auction win will ever seem to replace the feeling you get after completing a big "spud" launcher and firing it off for the first time. I've even had the honor to shoot .50 BMGs out here in Colorado at truly long ranges...

I swear this showed up here before, at least I saved it at some point in my random youtube folder.

Perhaps saturating it with epoxy would be a good idea, or printing a hollow shape that would accept an epoxy pour.

*buys 3d printer*
*uses it to make epoxy molds*
Typical.

Looks great! I like the cleverness of how it works, I can tell this has been through many iterations even without looking at the hybrid section of the forum.
Good work as always.

That's cool but would it be better than something like this? I was actually about to pick up a tank and pump for a future project.

Now I guess you need Rit-job STABO and ALICE gear, a flight deck helmet, and a balaclava.

Dimensional Analysis to the rescue!

n feet per second * (3600 feet per hour / 1 foot per second) * (1 mile per hour / 5280 feet per second) =

Cancel your units, simplify, and you get MPH = (3600n)/5280.

So just quit bitching and listen to smiley face and freefall!

It sounds like you just need a venting regulator if I'm reading correctly.

Obviously looks great! Speaking to the silencer, are you planning to use the extra length of lower tube for expansion volume? If you're beating your head against the wall trying to figure out how to rifle the barrel, and you have a 3d printer, you can take a look at electrochemical rifling . Good jo...

The 0.8:1 ratio comes from burntlatke's testing where chamber volume was held constant and barrel volume was changed, which effectively found the longest barrel length that could efficiently use a certain chamber size. Increasing chamber size up to a certain point will just lose efficiency. You coul...

Any other stand out builds or ideas on here over the last 10years I’ve been absent? My holy grail would still be a large caliber cartridge ejecting semi auto. I should complete that QEV repeater build one day. There's been a lot of small and intricate hybrid builds especially by hectmarr. But ten y...

He's still at it! Nice work as always.

Here is what it looks like internally, if it seems a little unusual that's because it's actually part of another project that I will share at a later date:

Cryptic as always. Does it have to do with cartridges?

Interesting find, we definitely need some more test data on hybrids to improve the modelling others have done.

That's a hell of a BB gun.
