yeah i know we just didn't know how the objects would shoot out of the cannon. So know that we know were teaming up with taofledermaus and going to shoot some paintballs at some targets.

Good job on the sabots. There's not a whole lot of information on how different sabots perform in spudguns so it's nice to see some high speed footage of those three different variations.

More range. Can you get another 25 yards in between the muzzle and target/s? I think the 1st sabot would have survived if it had not hit the beib...

Otherwise, nice shoot'en!
