I've wanted to add a separate sprinkler system that either sprays gasoline or diesel on command for awhile now.

I just can't afford that much ethanol-free.

The RPG7 grenades can be adapted to use a single charge like the RPG2. With it, comes the downside of RPG2s, lack of range. But still would be fun. One of the problems of doing an RPG7 is the lack of tail fin sections, they're not as cheap and plentiful as they used to be 10 years ago. If you find them, be ready to pay a good amount of money for one. Then you gotta figure out how to load the powder in the tail fins without it just flopping around all loose, the OG boosters use cordite looking strips and are just tied around the tail fins.

The RPG2 just uses spring sheet metal type fins that have been cut to a square and bolted to the end of a wooden dowel, then behind it is where you screw on the cardboard tube aka booster that's filled with powder and sectioned off chambers. That's why you see more live RPG2s out there launching projos, they're just easier to make.

Always has been IIRC, but how many 105's are on the market these days?

They are really not that dangerous, I’ve been shooting mine for 3 years without issue. Just don’t  “allegedly “  load the boost charge twice the milspec load data, and  dont obstruct the back blast area with a ballistic skull and you’ll be fine . It would be the same as overloading a 556 round and sticking dirt in the barrel and wondering why the rifle blew up

Well…

Maybe.

Not sure about Texas, but in many (most?) states you can’t lawfully kill an animal in a way that causes unnecessary suffering.

You’d want to make sure your airburst could be expected to drop the hogs right where they stood.

IIRC Texas doesn't consider hogs to be animals, so basically anything goes. Hence the helicopter hog "hunts" because it's not defined as hunting

As it was explained to me by our game warden, in VA, on a kill permit, hunting regulations do not apply, because it’s not hunting, it’s killing.  For example, there are no caliber restrictions.  This provided me an excellent (lawful) opportunity to learn that a 5.56 is actually a fantastic caliber for whitetail, provided you are proficient with your shot placement and use appropriate ammunition (64gr GD for me).

And I’d love an RPG for further “research”.

But not illegal to fire at hordes of hogs.


Look up the Snow Goose Special Conservation Order - RPG canister with steel BBs looks like it would be within the rules. I'd love a belt- or hopper-fed shotgun myself.

Hogs are too scary to annoy with #4 shot. .50 cal is the minimum caliber for those things.

I know I sure do. And it could be towed by a single horse, so an ATV or small truck should work nicely.

It can also, unlike other rockets of that era, actually be aimed quite effectively. And rapidly reloaded. And at max range displaced and moving before the fired volley of rockets has even hit the ground.

I think if you actually hunt w/ the 37mm smoothbores ATF auto-classifies it as a Title 2, like when you put your SUB-2000 into your jacket it magically becomes an illegal SBR.
