I would have paid a bit more if it was an option to have the upper completed and not stripped. I'll be finishing it up and making it complete. |

I was more thinking a pair projectiles; one stuffed with strike-anywhere match-heads on top of a mini-can full of gasoline... but yeah, Cayenne could be fun too. Maybe sugar/oxidizer (r-candy) smoke screen ball; light fuse and launch. this can launcher is definitely chock full of hold my beer potential though. |

Does anyone know of a good mold for ice projectiles? My thought is it would be easy to clean up (if it was just ice).
Is a ram rod needed to get the projectile all the way to the back of the barrel? Anyone use these as a line thrower? |

DEAL ALERT...
Primary Arms has BCA side charging stripped upper for $75 and the side charging complete BCG for $60. That’s about half off from BCAs price.  And once you sell the stripped F5 upper on the EE you’re talking even more savings!
So I’ve got the long-tube launcher ordered for $150, BCA side charging upper with BCG for $135 ordered, and I already have an ACE ARFX-E short stock, PSA LPK and Hogue grip kicking around the parts bin. All I need now is a custom engraved 80% and about 2 hours of mill time. Winning! |

I found a local machine shop that is willing to work with me to make a smaller barrel for the golfball thing we were talking about. For now I have an older aluminum FF tube I will try. If it works... I'll get the AL FF tube in a few different lengths. With as light as the golfball is. I think there is a good potential for more distance with an older style un vented 12" or 15" tube. It will work with the barrel they sell. And at $150, Even if you just want the barrel. it's still cheap. you get an upper worth a few $ and a cannon tube that may be turned into the worlds largest Form 1 9mm suppressor. |

We got tired of chasing tennis balls so we made a game out of shooting them straight up and catching them. It is harder that it looks. They get just over the tree then the wind kicks in. The shooter has to do a lot of corrections. Fun times!

For anyone interested in loading blanks, I have a thread going here.
https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Loading-223-5-56-Blanks-/42-490581/?r=-1&page=1&anc=4978238#i4978238 So far, I'm getting great results with Red Dot. I'm still testing, but, it looks like 4gr will be what I go with. cost for each rd will be about 5 cents. This is only counting the cost of the primer and powder. I'll be using end of life brass for my blanks, get that last use in the can cannon and toss the brass 
The largest expense is the Hornady blank Crimp dies. I paid $95 shipped from amazon.... |

The first few launches, burn off the fuzz, turns it a little black. But, if you can find them, they can be launched over and over... Edit: Wal-mart, also has "sams" soda in 6oz cans for $1.54 per six pack, I wouldn't drink it, but I launched a 12 pack this morning 
Get a little more range than 12oz cans do. |
