LED Parachute Tracer Ammo

This is my newest version of my tracer round which has a parachute attached to it so you can use it at the 4th of july or something like that.

lemme hear what you think.

I should make a couple of those for my mortar, they'd be pretty cool. Great thinking.

Is that just one of those parachutes off of those toy soldiers?? Good idea

wow cool. ill have to invent my own tracer out of throwies or something. good idea.

does it actually work? does it deploy right after it is shot or when it at the max hight? when? it a good idea.

It's from a toy soldier thingy that had a weird kind of parachute that has fine mesh instead of strings (so it doesn't get all tangled up).

you know what else works as a tracer round, radioactive potatoes.

that is a kool idea. how far does it go befor the parachute opens?

lol attach it to a toy car and let her rip.

but that will be cool but i can see the chuste opening right away.

Well, with my cannon it goes about 150 ft straight up before it opens. It usually deploys at the max height if I packed it in the round right.

Are you firing straight up or at an angle? At an angle, the parachute would probably deploy too soon. Nonetheless, it is still a fantastic idea.

hmm that looks pretty good the only thing is i wouldnt want to lose on because it probly took u like (30 mins?) to make one...but although if u were firing with the light on i suppose it would work...how heavy is it?? looks cool....bye....hmmmhmm....

god damn i wish my cannon was big enough to fire those.

JDP12 · Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:29 am

bboymatty-how big is your cannon? It seems like it would have to be pretty **** small not to fit a bouncy ball or an easter egg, or if those are too big..then take my idea with the shotgun shells in originunknown's original led tracer ammo post....

bboymatty · Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:37 am

mine is 15mm.

Small is what i hear you saying, but you will understand when you see my competition entry.

Wow your right...that is pretty small...Hmm what could you use for a tracer round...lemme think..

Are you sure a shotgun shell won't fit?? I don't have one on me...But looking at a ruler it seems like it may...But I'm not sure.. I'll look at my house when I get home
