Handheld hybrid 'rifle'

Harness the power of precision mixtures of pressurized flammable vapor. Safety first! These are advanced potato guns - not for the beginner.

Why shoot at stuff so close?
Does not accuracy count at all?
That has to be the mini of mini Hybrids, nice work.

What do they say about your cannon?

If that is the same size as mine, what mixes are you running at?
It just seems a lot less powerful than mine for some reason, I can blast holes through metal buckets at a range of 20 metres easy.
And thats with blunt ammo weighing an ounce.

I was thinking about making mine handheld, but that's out of the question when using an 800 mL chamber, 6x mixtures, and a 20 foot barrel. :lol:
I almost have an airsoft hybrid done though, I scrounged 90% of the parts from my airsoft rifle and 1/4" double burst disc gun.

They don't stay in the barrel long enough to melt.

It's still almost 10 lbs and not very rifle-like. Plus, if the barrel was only 6 feet, then I wouldn't get possibly (90% certain) supersonic velocities.

Ok then blasting holes through oxy cylinders is by no means an easy thing to do, i just hope they aren't full!
Maybe if you get the time you could film yourself blasting said hole through the tank. One more thing, how loud is she?

I'm really new to spudding, so reading these is quite frightening.
I mean, a home made device that is loud enough to sound like a bomb.
Granted, I understand why that's the case, but when I really think about it, it's scary.
I just still can't believe you shot through the side of an oxygen tank.
I shot through both sides of a coke can yesterday... with my first combustion, baby carrot as wadding and a small nail stuck inside.
