spudgun range, are we falling short?

[Petitlu]

I'll get it this afternoon!

I will do tests on lighters and electric arc!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I guarantee your first 24 hours of ownership will be spend filming EVERYTHING in slow motion

I remember I only stopped because the battery went flat hehehe

[Petitlu]

I think too!

At the same time I do a test projectile for Neverlost!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Ladies and gents, I give you... Orange boy!

Needs some finishing and a final coat of paint, though this is proboably going to be lost on its first shot anyway... glad I didn't go for fluorescent pink, otherwise it would have really looked like a female pleasure device!

[Petitlu]

Excellent!

question: it vibrates?

[MrCrowley]

Jeez...with that aerial thingy it looks like it's meant to provide pleasure whilst aborting an unwanted baby


Looking forward to the test flight

[Petitlu]

At least, JSR gave me every chance that I found!

EDIT :
mine, polycarbonate, it has a steel ball inside, otherwise it is hollow





Neverlost :

loooooong story ;P

Looking forward to the test flight

Don't we all

Jeez...with that aerial thingy it looks like it's meant to provide pleasure whilst aborting an unwanted baby

Well women always claim to be good at multi-tasking...

Reminded me ofthis

mine, polycarbonate, it has a steel ball inside, otherwise it is hollow

Looks good! What was it?

[Petitlu]

the body is a polycarbonate tube that serves to protect neon.
the cone is a yellow cap tube of glue "resists all"
the gray is a tip for Gardena watering

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

hahaha very interesting combination of stuff It has a poor ballistic coefficient because of low sectional density, but it should still fly a couple of hundred metres with enough pressure behind it

[Petitlu]

performance was not the goal!


"hahaha very interesting combination of stuff"
I do not workshop or machine tools so I do with things that already exist!
I like to have a metal lathe as you ...

I've been there

I like to have a metal lathe as you ...

If you only want to make small parts, something like this is compact, precise, well made, reliable and doesn't cost and arm and a leg either:

Compil Casio EX-ZR100

hehe excellent, welcome to the high speed club your test shots will be a lot more interesting now!

[Petitlu]

Proxon I know, but I also lack of space, I should put the metal lathe on my desk ...

I will study the user manual of the camera!
in fact, the battery is empty!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Lack of space doesn't have to be an excuse, check these compact workshop solutions out! http://www.sherline.com/shops.htm







Heck, even a kitchen

[natas]

within an hour I think I have that camera at home!

http://www.boulanger.fr/webapp/wcs/stor ... or=CS3-967

1000fps !

Damn.. that seems like bang for the bucks... thnx.. did not know of this cheap little baby .. think ill look in to that in a near future

On another note, natas - you have machine tools, a nice big combustion cannon and seemingly loads of space to shoot over... maybe some projectile optimisation would be good for you

Neh.. so far im pretty happy with potatoes (remember i have only been spudding for a few weeks, i just build my first cannon)

Just want to have some fun, not kill anything


I can see me making some kickass ammo at a later stage, i already have a few shells on the drawingboard with changeable steel tips... first thing im gonna make is probably gasoline ammo tho, Bang AND Fire.... perfect
