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. View Quote |

What about filling some sort of projectile with some kind of powder, like a chalk round? It would make a satisfying cloud of dust. View Quote X Products Multi Purpose Launcher: First Look |

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. View Quote |

OK... I just pulld the trigger. LET'S GOOOO! http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/ahwg.gif if it ruptures in the tube the gas won't ignite in the tube because it needs air. It'll make a hell of an arm-hair singing fireball though View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
OK... I just pulld the trigger. LET'S GOOOO! http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/ahwg.gif Quoted: Well... Regardless of the legality of what you are saying, I think you should shoot your cannon a few times with soda or water and see if you really want vaporized gasoline igniting in the tube should the can rupture. There's a pretty big expansion chamber in there, but it's unknown whether it the oxygen would be gone. You do you, though! |

Fuck. I'll hold your beer for you. (A few yards behind you) and watch you do it.

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? |

Emailed them to see if they would do a Golfball diameter model for me.

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! |

They would not sell me just the barrel assembly, if anyone was curious.

Wonder what could be used for a front sight to make these work... Obviously the ranges wont be accurate.

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. |

You're welcome, I think I don't recall seeing a BCG that cheap before, oddly enough for me shipping two somehow came out to a higher per each cost than shipping only one... few pennies difference, but still a little strange.

Here's a sketch that I did way back. It materialized unto the gun in this thread. Attached File |

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!

To those that have ordered from F5, I'm trying to calculate the cost for a group buy. I see the free shipping option in checkout, is the shipping free?

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.... |
