Jamie claims that they are going to do things with the launcher that I have never even dreamed of. Sounds like fun!

You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

... as would the horde of idiots that frequent the Mythbusters forum... Seriously, it's psychological torture to see some of the crap the fans post there... But there are some gems :D
Yeah, we wouldn't want to anger the bees, now would we??

I HATE YOU BEES! I HATE YOU BEES! I HATE YOU BEES!

It would be really cool to have some of the mythbusters team on this forum. You really should give SF a shout-out next time you talk to them. Did they say anything in particular about this launcher or why they wanted to use it? Some details of your meetup would be nice.

ya, if they visited this forum and asked for help when they wanted to make their net gun, they could have not "busted" that myth... or so many other failures, such as trying to blow up a house with Bug Bomb, completely ignoring combustibility limits... Still, I can't wait to see a SpudFiles cannon of mythbusters.

On a side note, how did they find out about your cannon?
Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

DUDE! you are so lucky! what are they planning on doing with it? You need to get a copy of the episode if it goes on tv. (They'll finally have a decent air cannon on thier show)

btw, welcome back, we haven't heard from you in while

Meh.

Just kidding. It'd be pretty neat if they did an episode with your cannon.

I don't have a TV though, so somebody will have to tell me about how it went.
