<div align="center">ZOOKA

Provided By Boogieman - <a href="http://www.advancedspuds.com">www.advancedspuds.com</a>

Zooka is a small launcher designed to shoot golf balls. It is tiny, but still can shoot a golf ball quite a ways. The whole gun is only about 3 feet long. It includes a 1" pneumatically actuated sprinkler valve, with trigger-like actuation. The barrel includes a simulated muzzle break. I made this launcher mainly from surplus parts from previous projects. The only part I had to purchase was a 1" male adapter.

A basic rundown on the launcher parts is as follows, from muzzle to back: 1.5" coupler, 1.5" sdr21 barrel about 2' long,1.5" female adapter, 1.5" to 1" threaded bushing, 1" close sch80 nipple, 1" Orbit Watermaster sprinkler valve, 1" male adapter, short stub or 1" sch40 pipe, 2" to 1" bushing, 3" to 2" bell reducer, short section of 3" sch40, 3" sch40 cap. The chamber has a Schrader valve for filling.

I painted the launcher with olive drab ultra flat camouflage paint.

Real nice I like the last pic and caption, I want to make one of these, as just a little pnuematic gun, and so i can drive a golfball further than my brother and uncle possibly combined...

Ok i'm better, nice paint job

Not if you want to shoot golf balls.

As long as the barrel is under 3 feet, it'll be fine. SDR 21 isnt that brittle.

sweet gun very simple. how far can you shoot a golf ball.

i was wondering what the muzzle velocity was (if you have bothered to find out)

A quick running of the <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/spud_wiki/inde ... T">GGDT</a> indicates a muzzle velocity of about 240 feet/sec at 100 psi.

did you buy the sdr 21 pipe locally or did you have to order online?

so under 3' sdr 21 is ok un sleeved, because if it is ive been wasting time and money

i think DR has had a 3ft unlsleeved barrel snap on him when he fired one of his cannons, might have been Mr. Plow, might have been 4ft, i wouldnt chance it anyway
