This shows you how I added lights..
first i got a 4 inch to 2 inch flush reducer.. since my barrel was 2 inches.. then i got a 4 inch to 3 inch regular reducer.. since my barrel was 2 inches.. this would give a half inch on each side of the barrel to hide the wires.. see below.

Image
flush reducer with lights added..L.E.D.'s

back of flush reducer..

Image
flush reducer installed in 4 inch to 3 inch regualr reducer.. with barrel showing.. this way you can cover the barrel with a 3 inch pipe hiding all the wires till you get to a box to house your batterys

Image
gree lights on.. with its own switch

Image
red lights on with its own switch

Image
both lights on

Image
me holding the soon to be gun.. with lights on

Image

showing you how the 4 inch flsuh reducer, the 4 to 3 inch regular reducer the barrel and the barrel cover works to hide the wires.. (unglued of course.) also by doing this.. it givs you the thickness to install and eye hook in the reducer to hook a sling for tactical operations.. (notice the hook eye)

and that is how you add lights to the front of you barrel..
if you need help let me know...


what do you think of my lights?

I think...your lights are awesome. If this is a combustion, I could only imagine what it looks like with a night fire.

Good job

Edit: This takes the phrase "muzzle flash" to a new extreme. :lol:

yes, this is a combustion.. and its going to resemble the m136 at4 rocket launcher.. it has a chamber fan.. and if i can get it to work right.. 8 330 volt capacitors for the spark..

it will resemble this.

Image

i currently have the weight of it.. weighing in about the same as a live at4 rocket launcher..

this spud gun feeles like it has a live round in it.

Those lights are awesome, looks like something out of E.T. (showing my age).
That and the fact you have a really funky name leads me to believe that you are on a winner. BTW where are the damage pics?
We all know that red makes a car go faster, i would like to see it proven that flashing lights have the same effect on spudguns! :)

I would reply with kind words, i cannot. I will say this however, whatever floats your boat soldier . ( I have no disrespect for you, however when you have the numbers and firepower on your side it is hard not to look tough, is it not?)

I tried to join the armed forces. they deemed me "unsuitable". I would love to blow away some people, just not innocent ones. :)

BTW: You made it off topic not me :wink:

damage pics as requested.....
:lol:

That's some funny $#!+.


I can say that I am looking forward to the "real" damage pics (from the launcher) as well as the launcher itself.

You're all good there Scottcrete. However, got a little off topic in this forum with your military posts.

You're not a grunt now man, you've pulled your time. Someone elses turn now. You can speak up as much as you want.

Keep us posted on your bazooka progress!
