Here is the <a href=">.
I tested another smaller bottle at the same pressure and it tore in half.
I don't know about the pressurized acrylic box either- seems to me it could blow up in my face as i pressurized it. :evil:

Nice vid! I was expecting a bang, but oh well.

Uh, for some reason, THIS came up as a related video. HOLY CRAP. That was the funniest, yet weirdest video I have ever seen.

Exactly one week left from the time of this post.


Because I want to maintain the same description style for each video to avoid whining about "so-and-so getting a better description than me" I need info about the target and the projectile for a complete description.

Khyren if you could give me your target and Novacastrian if you could give me your projectile I could update the descriptions for your entries in the first post, right now I just have generic terms in there.

Good entries so far guys, I didn't think there would be this many.

Anybody else have any problems with Nova's video loading? I normaly don't have any problems with watching Youtube's video's.

EDIT: Clide's link for Nova's video didn't leed to the same as Nova's posted link.

Sorry Clide- The ammo was a saboted lead sinker.

The target was a piece of 1/8th inch plate that I got from work. It was just leaning there. Distance was 36 feet.

Alright thanks for the info guys.

jrrdw thanks for the heads up, but it appears fine to me. Nova posted several videos but his actual entry video was in <a href="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... 2100">this post</a>. Are you sure that you are not getting the same video he linked to there on my link in the first post? Is it showing the wrong video to anybody else?

I looked at the one called "Pootage" 7 seconds long posted on page 13 of this thread. The link you got on the first page took me to a 2 second video that wouldn't load. Maby my browser just directed to the wrong one. I don't know.

EDIT: ok, I just looked at the one you posted, page 12, and it loaded and played for me. What shoot is Nova going with, pick one Nova, it's a one shot comp.! Not two.

What i have done however (in a shameless act of self promotion, and subliminal "suggestion") is to add a couple of videos of mine so that i might be in the forefront of peoples mind when they vote. It won't work now though, i have let the cat out of the bag :lol: Now to be shot down in flames for using a "loophole" in the rules!

You don't realise how many entrants there are until you see them all lined up *_*

I'm hoping like hell I can get mine done in time :scratch:

ROFL.

It may very well include an adjustable wrench :wink:

Also on the list of things to do is to cancel my overtime shift tomorrow which has managed to land entirely in the same period as my fixed time :?

Maybe I can be paid twice for the same time :idea:

Well, only if it's to get your video into the competition!
