"In the world of spuds today"

[Fnord]

It's back.






I have a couple shooting clips I can upload later. Nothing spectacular.

That would make a Prius worth buying...

Looking forward to those videos

If you define a hybrid (as we do on the forum) as combustion of fuel vapour at a pre-ignition pressure significantly higher than atmospheric pressure, most cars are hybrid drive

Quick video

I think this is the first video footage I've posted of this gun... ever. Unfortunately when I was visiting ohio I did not have much time to shoot stuff... otherwise this would have been a bit more extravagant. I had to quickly macgyver it back into a working condition with few tools available. Some of the stuff I filmed couldn't be used since it was too dark out.

That is a very satisfying bang, good on you for wearing ear protection

[PotatoEnemy17]

I agree with JSR, it's a VERY satisfying bang. Good job! Just wait till I achieve that with a pneumatic cannon...

...and before anyone blames my fuel mixture for the black cloud blasted out of the muzzle

This might be relevant to you:

Here's an interesting design for people wanting to test loud devices without actually fitting a suppressor to their launcher:



Basically 6 automobile tyres in an oil drum...

Very clever, but the loud noise is the best part of spud guns!

But police are the worst thing to have ruin your day, second only to an exploding gun.

The latter can be an oddly satisfying experience though... für die Wissenschaft!

This for example made my day, it didn't ruin it

New .40 cal barrel on my pellet gun, I think it's fitting for the sawn off configuration

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Have you considered a valve upgrade?

I hear there's a few guys on the forum handy with a lathe

It's got a good amount of power as is, I just have a problem with the skirts on the blowgun darts flipping at higher pressure. But with just a single pump, this thing puts wire darts deeper into wood then my 48" blowgun.

Here's a video of it a various pressures, you can see the skirt flipping problem in some of the higher pressure shots

But police are the worst thing to have ruin your day, second only to an exploding gun.

Assuming that the exploding gun wasn't immediately lethal and didn't cause paralysis or other permanent disability, I'd take that over the police any day.

Nice work, Fnord. I'm looking forward to coming across this build somewhere in the 800+ new posts I'm slogging through after frosh week.

I got sick of my harbor freight consumable threaded hole plugs, so I bought some better taps and dies from ebay.
My tap and die set now weighs more than a small child.

Oh, by the way DYI, that gun is my *old* hybrid, so there's nothing new to see here. But I do have some upgrades underway that should get the power up to multi-kJ levels, finally.
