That's a bird cannon. I checked out the website, and I just don't see how loud booms would work on riot control without serious injury to folks' hearings. There are a lot of orchards and such there that benefit from the use of noise cannons to scare off birds. Same principle is used around airport r...

Neat looking gun. I like the way you integrated the shoulder mount and front grip into extra chamber space. Not only that, but the way the trigger is piped through the chamber is pretty nifty as well. It seems that everything in the gun is very clean and straight. Nothing hanging out to the sides. T...

They looked a bit like a pair of nunchucks and were fired out of a cannon. They would wrap around the enemy ship's mast and cut it in half.

Methinks I see a new projectile for the ME-105H.

You got pictures of that? I'd kinda like to see what your setup is.

The dwv part is probaly included so that people who have no idea about pipe, and have been told to get "DWV" for there drainage purposes, dont go "argh i cant use that it's not for drain waste vent" Hahahaha. I've seen this happen before. It's the same people who go in a hardware store looking for ...

I was stumbling the internet and came across one. Can't remember what website it was, but it was still nifty seeing it in action. Of course it would only seem useful in annoying roommates and leaving little plastic BB's everywhere. Go for it. If you do build, keep the hose and seal it into the cloud...

Damn fine job, jrrdw, damn fine. A shining example of moderator-dom.

I've been getting that about every other time I log into chat.

Are bombs legal subject matter on Spudfiles?

Blasphemous! Now who's gonna raise the next generation of young, innocent children?

I think it's already happening with Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. Luckily the weapons on there are fairly accurate.

Oh, I'm not arguing. I'm just a little disheartened that our first beloved first-person-shooter DOOM would mislead so many impressionable youths.
