Bad News

[Specialist]

this is one of my few pieces of ammo i have designed but this i never tested. i used a film canister, a bouncey ball, and a titanium rocket bottle rocket. the pictures tell a lot. i got the idea from using pvc as a launch pad for these rockets. it was made for long distance fun. i made the wick shorter trying to make it so the blast from a combustion cannon would lite it and make it go off in mid air. to make it fly at its best i made bad news as light as possible and i used a bouncey ball as weight making it less than 3 ounces hevier than the bottle rocket. oh and i call it bad news because bad news travels fast.

Thats Freaking kool man, i hope it works.

oh n great name it suits it.

Brilliant! How far does it go?

Though it might be illeagal, it still looks cool. I don't think a normal bottle rocket engine will help too much; the amount of thrust produced is small.
Get a bigger engine and a nosecone and you will notice a difference.

the gasses won't ignite the fuse, its not hot enough for long enough, plus its traveling too fast

Not sure if this projectile is allowed by forum rules... but anyways... it looks nice... but what I really like about it is that name; its awesome

I just had an idea which someone already came up with but I haven't seen... People seem to always be trying to come up with the perfect grenade that explodes on impact as opposed to ignition. What if you just wadded a full film canister? I don't think it would come apart if it is wrapped in tape, but there would be little chance of it surviving contact with a wall at a few hundred fps...
edit: would this belong here? Meaning in this thread...

well when i first came up with this i wanted it to be a grenade but like i said im still testing it. i havent tested this in a cannon but i have on homemade mini cannons made for shooting these bottle rockets out of. they do amazingly far and by that i mean 50-60 feet higher than it would with out the rocket on it. maybe i should but i new rocket in with a longer wick, light it and shove it down the barrel. i could time it with a few tests and pinpoint how long i should wait until firing so it will have better chances of going off in mid-air. as for a bigger engine i have a bigger bottle rockets that i can shove in it. an these bottle rockets get 150+ feet up in the air. and this ammo was mostly for long distance shooting and testing i wanted to see if i could increase the flight of my ammom which i think i have based on my cannon-less tests. once i get it perfect its only upgrades from there and i plan on making mass quanities and maybe selling them to spud owners.

Please read the rules. Using ammo of this nature makes your cannon a destructive device, which is a federal crime here in the USA.
