Is that first V12 an air engine?

I ENVY that guy.

Yes, it's pneumatically driven.

[Gun Freak]

I was expecting an IC but was kinda turned on by the pneumatic-ness

[Daltonultra]

I'mma just leave this here:

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

haha!

projectile?

[Daltonultra]

A can of nacho cheese sauce. The great part, and I wish I'd taken a picture, is that I found the electron gun about fifteen feet further downrange...



...and it was filled with nacho cheese... Somehow, it glorped itself into the inside of hte electron gun as it was blowing the back of the TV out.


BTW, confirmed range of almost exactly 400 yards on a different shot with a can of pickled beets.


Anyway, I now return you to your regularly-scheduled randomness. [/on-topic]

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

hehe see, heavy and relatively slow projectiles aren't that bad after all

If you can do 400 yards with a tumbling cylinder, think of the range with a streamlined subcalibre projectile...

Gasoline prices just hit a record in my country..eventhough we already held the worldrecord I believe.
1.78 euro a litre.

To put that in perspective:
That's about 8.94 USD/gallon...

I believe the excuse this time is that some Arab fell and needed a bandade.

Last raise was because some Egyptian cat had died.

Every time a Saoudi catches a cold the price goes up by 10 cts.
At least that's what out government is making us believe...

We can now retire at 67.
In some other countries thousands of people march in protest when their retirement age is raised to 57...

WTF man....

Something I made for my girl friend.

[Labtecpower]

How small is that?
I bet you can do better

[warhead052]

Its about 2 inches big. I was thinking about drilling a small hole, and putting a chain through it so it can be used as a necklace, or possibly even putting a CZ diamond into it. (I have a few of them, so it wouldn't be a big deal...)

[Labtecpower]

if it's two inches big you could certainly have done better!
don't give this to your girlfriend...

IMO stuff like this should be about 12 mm...

[warhead052]

Its the only amount I had left... Remember though, its the thought that counts.

[Labtecpower]

It isn't hard to make it smaller

The effort you put into it also counts!

[warhead052]

It is pretty small, I would say its actually about 1 inch, lemme actually measure it.

Edit, remeasured, and its just over 1/2"... Dunno why I thought it was 2 inch..

[Labtecpower]

explains a lot!

I would practice some more
you can make very nice things with some experience!
I would just get a sheet of steel and start filing shapes into it, this way you can learn very fast and cheap...
