Copperhead Pocket Launcher

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Pocket in the same sense as Pocket Battleship

Still sounds like innuendo but anyway

[Hotwired]

That's just disturbing o.0

There are several spins on the name, including why it's a launcher not a cannon

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

including why it's a launcher not a cannon

If that's the extent of your chamber volume then clearly so

[POLAND_SPUD]

so what is it?? a positive pressure piloting system for a floating spool valve??

[Hotwired]

Nope


Here's a picture of the pipe on the launcher and the machined Tee before I clamp it down with the compression fitting and the JFC:


The olive was secured first using JFC.

the only thing I can think of is something similar to my design but with a homemade air cylinder....

or you use one pipe for both the barrel and the chamber... but that wouldn't make much sense really


lol tell us how it is supposed to work...

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Ooh ooh I know!

[MrCrowley]

Think it's time you told us

[inonickname]

I know.

Think QDV, even though hotwired seems determined to keep it distanced from one. Think lots of muzzle energy as well.

[Hotwired]

How about a nice picture




All the hardware is there now but it's still not past square 1. If you can tell me how it works at this point you're doing pretty well.


The launcher is just one half of the system.


My word, is that the time, 5:20am...

Need to sleep, later!

[inonickname]

The piece of ammo is about as long as the barrel, if that helps.

[Hotwired]

Sneak previews have their downsides

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

So it's some sort of coaxial arrow launcher?

[Technician1002]

I've been told.. Nice to see it come together. Nice photos.

[MrCrowley]

Think it's time we get more pictures or a diagram, no point guessing it's operation, caliber, ammo, pressure and the other half of the launcher for another 2 pages...i'm curious to see the full 'launcher'
