Alright you jerks. I just ordered one...
I just got the upper and 100 blanks. Now what are some fun things to do with this thing? I have a 3D printer as some people mentioned wanting to print some things. Also should I have gotten the longer barrel or the short one? |

If it weren't for that pesky DD definition within the NFA, I wonder how viable it would be to do something with a binary explosive, such as tannerite, packed into something such as a plastic Easter egg, with a tennis ball used to shield the egg from the force of the blank discharging. You'd have to figure out a way to detonate it, of course. I wonder if a .22 lr round sticking ass end out of the front would work?
I really need a job which doesn't give me so much time to sit around and ponder. |

Drilled and tapped it. The tube is thicker near the bottom, then widens for projectiles halfway up, so the 1/32 of screw thread sticking through will have no ill affect. I have a ton of GG&G rail kits for M4 handguards sitting around and used one. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Started construction of the Mk1 remote firing fixure today. Was short on time and ran out of daylight, but I got a decent start. Hope to finish tomorrow.
 Attached File Attached FileGotta make a run to Lowe’s for hinges and some other fiddlety bits to make it fold down for easy transport. I’m going to pop the buttplate off for firing in the fixture. I’ll seat the buffer tube into a wooden block as a recoil shoulder. I’ll add an adjustable (padded) cross bar to the front for elevation, and use an eye screw in the base to redirect the lanyard. I *think* I’m going to be receiving a longer barrel for testing sometime soonish. I’m also still waiting on the 67mm wad punch to arrive. Aside gripe: Walmart doesn’t sell diet soda in 8oz cans...?!?!?! WTH? I’ll have to hit some other stores to check for more ammo.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: JMO: Your leaf sight will likely work fine— if you move it forward. As it sits right now (on the receiver), your angle is way too low to hit max range.

Got my blanks today, finally.
Holy cow! Fired two of the 8oz cans and almost ran out of yard. I paced off 110 yards. I stopped at two because my comfort limit was met. Even though I live on a rural road, I don't want them going in the street. The edge of the street is wooded so I can't see if there are cars or people. I couldn't believe how high the can went! The YouTube vids don't do it justice. I need a bigger range to really wring this thing out. Side note, I WOULD NOT want to get hit by one of these things coming down. |

I went out to the woods this weekend.
Max range around 120 yards. Lower elevation, 50 yards, fairly easy hits point blank. I swear on the long range shots that can is 80 feet or more high. All three of us were giggling shooting this thing! I definitely need a sight for repeatability. |

While these seem like toys, they can be quite dangerous.
Not picking on you or calling out, but I saw kids who know better, doing the same thing, not treating these like real guns. Looking down the barrel, putting your fingers in front of the barrel, even when loading, etc. Get in the habit of being as safe as possible as early as possible Bad habits are hard to break. I make it a habit to charge only when I'm ready to fire. Load on an empty chamber. Then charge and fire. I don't want to chance that thing going off with my fingers in the barrel. Be safe boys. |

I plan to make Skillets' Auto Bolt Lock Mod tot he lower dedicated to this thing. For now I always lock the bolt open, load the can then charge the chamber when ready to fire. And I see people shooting at each other on YouTube. You DO NOT want to get hit with a half pound object falling from a height of 100'. As someone posted above, crayons and oatmeal time if you do. |
