A couple projectiles for a 2"pneumatic. Brutal!

[The Haymaker]

Here's three. One is caulking tubes. The more leftovers in them the better! Especially good are the aluminum tubes for polyurethane sealant used by most all windshield installers. I'm getting 7-800 feet outta these babies. Haven't measured the max flights, as they are too far into the puckerbrush!

My newest favorite is a round macde from solid steel with 1.78" tubing used for a skirt for catchng air and another piece as a stabilizer on the tail. Weight is roughly four pounds. Longest haul so far at a high angle shot is .17 of a mile, whatever that is. If shot nearly straight up, it'll pile drive 6" into the frozen ground. There's a link to a pic and vid of the round below. Hmmmm..... I think I'll call it my antitank round!

Eggs, frozen of course.........

cool,be careful with it though! if it fell on your foot you would know all about it!

[The Haymaker]

The engry of this stuff is what amazes me most. I did a near vertical shot with it today and when it hit the ground, at a straight up angle, the weight of the shaft and muffler pipe tail bent the shaft 1" from the end, down inside the air skirt. That's 5/8" SOLID round stock!

Mua HA HA ha!

very nice very nice have you tried shooting into plywood id like to see some damage pics!

[The Haymaker]

Honestly, this thing with plywood doesn't lend itself well to video. One second it's a good sheet of 3/4" plywood, the next second there's a 2"+ hole in it.

Howzabout a can of silly string instead?

Seriously though, if it's carnage you want, go to the video album and look for "Haymakers Taterhater". MUCH better than silly 'ol plywood.

thats friggin awesome i could get in so much trouble with one of those lol

[nicholai]

thats a nice damage shot, im going to be recording a video soon (if the weather permits) showing how a pair of crappy printers make great targets for 2" plastic slugs

since its not really tail stabilized its gonna tumble, i bet you if you hit a full sheet of 5/8" plywood with that crazy ass tank round at the right time it tumbled (ex sideways) it would blast a hole right through it with great splintering effects

[boilingleadbath]

Nicholai, it <i>is</i> fin stabalized. Just because it isn't using the traditional wing-like fins, but is instead using a ring-type stabilizer doesn't mean it's not stabilized.

[nicholai]

it looked like it was tumbling in the video

[The Haymaker]

Nah, the "tank round" doesn't tumble. It yaws a little upon exit then flies extremely straight..... I guess I could say "flew", as it is currently awol down in the woods.

The caulking tubes made from aluminum don't tumble either. Especially whe 1.5" of mortar is dumped in the tips of them! I've added 7 feet to the barrel, giving more acceleration time, and got .25 of a mile from one of those puppies a few weekends ago. I wish I had a way to vid them to show the speed and trueness of the way those things fly. Truly impressive!

Here's a carnage shot using a 2" trailer ball wthl shank. Now that tumbles!
