ok, good, it wasn't just me that couldn't see them.
Grats guys!
Though the top 2 weren't exactly created on the same level as any of the others here (price range several orders of magnitude over your standard spudgun,) I must admit, they are absolutely incredible! Great job!

edit: btw the front page needs to be updated

Are we there yet Dad? :roll: Oh good, this thing is finally over...should have been about a month ago.

I think the top 10 or so should have been in a run off after the first couple of weeks...but not now....please.... Can we just move on to the next big thing.

Congratulations Solar, Larda and Chaos!!

Rough edits, but you get the idea. Thanks for voting the Eclipse as favorite guys! Good timing of things. :-)

The numbers I am calling out are in FPS, unless you hear 300, which was the operating pressure. There are a few hiccups along the way, most caused by the weak spring we were testing in the firing piston. We started shooting the foam POW rockets, then paintballs in sceptre grenade shells, then with dixie cups and paper towels. The last shots are using zip-fizz plastic bottles that have 4oz of liquid in them. Note the extra bit of kick.

about 7mb. 2 minutes 43 seconds

The gospel of lewdness appears to be spreading, in my name! Oh dear...

Congratulations to the winners though, all innovative creations that deserve to be lauded - and may this be some much needed incentive to get some new ideas flowing :)
