prototype ballistic knife

[warhead052]

Ok thanks Crna.

Lab, excuse me for wanting to know...

Jhalek, I would give it a shot if I had the stuff to do it! If you have the stuff, definatly try it, it would be awesome plus the bang it would make.

[urgle the danish cow]

are you running off c02 or what pressure are you using?
im planing on machining one out of steel and aluminum. hopefully soon

[Crna Legija]

i have a shock pump and fridge compressor, ill only got to about 500psi but could take it to 900.

[warhead052]

Crna, if it takes 900 psi, you should use unregged co2. It would be incredibly powerful, and make a fun little toy.

[Crna Legija]

why, 900psi of air would be slightly more powerful and free for me. anyway i wont go passed 500

[Crna Legija]

sorry for dubbel post. i case hardened the blade and it worked out all right but the blade look crappy so i sanded it smooth but by then the hard case was gone lol. so i just glued it up at 12ish ill get a vid up.

i found this forum about Prohibited Weapons in nsw the, if you read the second one

(2) A ballistic knife that propels a knife-like blade of any material by any means other than an explosive.

does that mean if i make it i hybrid it would be legal in nsw?

In all honesty, you don't really need to worry about this being illegal, i very much doubt that the police are going to come knocking on your door (excluding some cases) If you use it responibly, everything will be fine.

A hybrid is a mixture of gases so that would not count as an explosive.

[Crna Legija]

im not worried(hope i didn't just jinx my self), it was more for the aussies that don't want to make one because they don't wanna get caught, im sure if the cops did come id get in more shit about the semi then this anyway.

[warhead052]

Crna, if they do come, just make a rounded off endcap for the schrader that completely covers the entire end of it, making it look like its explosive powered.

[Crna Legija]

new pics, i made a new trigger mech, this one looks more sleek.
but the rear plug stated to leak pissing me off ill re-epoxy it tomorrow.

Looking forward to see this work at high pressure, nicely done

[Crna Legija]

I got damage pics, and ill get the vid link soon, this was at only 75 psi because it 11:00 pm and everyones sleeping. ill get 250psi + shot tomorrow sometime. Does anyone have a good ballistic gel recipe?

Check the how-to section, I saw something there that used jello or something for ballistics gel. Nice shots with that by the way. Which do you recommend for charging them up to high pressure, a fridge compressor, or a shock pump?

[Crna Legija]

iv been using the shock pump only takes about 3 pumps to get to 75. but i found out yesterday my shock pump has two stages, you can lock up, lol how much time i could have saved.

[warhead052]

Nice. Well since my foot pumps gauge broke off, I guess I will just use the hose from it on the fridge compressor or something till I can get a better one.
