Behold, Lego gun. Sun, 10 October 2004 01:09 Go to next message
I just dug up my creation of many moons ago (probably uni holidays, haha). Same principle as "spud cannons" but scaled down, and pen casings are the perfect size for air rifle pellets. I had a small laser on it at some stage....It was pretty accurate up to about 15 meters, and could still shoot through cardboard at that range.

Sorry all, was just struck by nostalgia, and had to share it.

Any kind of aerosol is sprayed in the tablet container, the lid is shut, and the trigger sparks the needle electrodes. Boom (or more pfffft) the pellet is propelled.

Yeh dads place backs onto bush so no houses for k's,as for getting out the backyard with it.most of the time you have to cut a bit of a hole in the screen and shoot from inside,as those little bastards are smart.. when i left 2 dead on the roof of the garage I didnt see em around again Shocked,the one i had was really highpowered!it would nearly break through a corrogated iron fence from about 10m and when you got the scope properly aligned it was deadly accurate Evil or Very Mad Ill get intouch when im back in Syd.. Very Happy

I recently made a potato gun... and shot it through a phone booth from a car... pretty funny...

we also measured out 200m and timed it... when you do the math you've got a potato doing about 400km/h... pretty crazy!

Here is my beast...
Barrel is about a metre long and chamber is around 3-4 litres. Just remember that for every 7 psi you are doubling the volume of uncompressed air contained, so at 49 psi I have the equivalent of 21-28 litres of air in the chamber
Fill it up with air at your local servo or a hand or foot pump if feeling energetic. Load with a golf ball or whatever the creative mind can think of ie potato, carrot, marbles, even water. Aim, and open the ball valve.

Dont use wherever people are around...
And watch out for the recoil.

thats looks like it'd could be potentially pretty powerfull, only problem is you only get one shot then it takes a while till you can have the next one ready, not really convinient unless you bring one of those 12v pumps with you.

I have made a few designs which could make about 3 shots before being empty, but you may as well be carrying 3 guns. If I could get my hands on a CO2 container Evil or Very Mad

I have had the endcap blow a couple of times (when I was using stupid types of endcap). Once was when my brother was filling it up at a petrol station and the end blew off(Im sure he scared quite a few people).

You need to get the one suitable for water/air pressure. ie a spherical end so there are no creases where two surface meet at an angle.

And it has to be thick. The endcap is 10mm thick at the thinnest areas. And the tube is nominal 8mm. Dont use anything that has DWT (Drain Waste ?????)rating. It WILL blow.
