500psi+ piston valve launcher and 6mm steel coaxial

C'est tres bon! Any chance of a chronograph reading?

no, unfortunately not.. i dont have a chronograph and i dont know anyone that has..

[biggsauce]

Too bad! Well, official velocity or not, the damage speaks for itself. Most impressive man

EDIT: Forgot to ask, what is holding your chamber and barrel together? They look nice...

To be honest, i dont know what the material is called, but basicly its some kind of plastic i cut to shape and drilled. Same material i used to hold the blowgun on the coaxial.

Ah ok I was wondering if they were something you had bought or made. We have a big sheet of 1" thick teflon-like material that I was planning on using to cut out some saddles like you have there.

[hyldgaard]

That definately sounds useable

[Gippeto]

Very impressive damage there hyldgaard.

Well done!

Be careful of ricochets with the hard ammo.
I shot this aluminium pellet and it hit a roof top 30m behind me.
And If you've seen that video of the guy being hit by a .50cal ricochet, well it made that same whiizzz noise.
Cool but scary.

Believe me, im very much aware of ricochets. as of when i got the fridge compressor and upped the power of my launchers severely, ive been firing at targets in front of a soft backstop. I have been hit with ricochets from a 5,5mm airgun and that can really hurt - wouldnt want an 11mm ball bearing permanently mounted in my head :tard:

[SpudFarm]

haha i got a shotgun pellet in my forhead

Even though that doesnt exactly sounds pleasant, it does in my oppinion sound better than a 11mm ball bearing or a 20g lead slug

This topic made it.. I definitely need to get my hands on a fridge compressor!

Would be interesting to see what distances could be reached with an arrow/crossbow bolt as ammo and 500 psi pressure. Well, probably you wouldn't ever see your projectile again.. But still..

Now just give them some nice shine and polish.

I was using 14mm aluminium diabolo pellets though
They work great, appart from the ricochet problem, they fly fast and straight, i'll try casting some out of lead or some other soft metal someday.

I haven't tried arrows or flechettes at high pressure yet, i would hate it if one of the fins was to come off though...


Btw i didn't mention it, but nice cannons
