haha... its right around 60 pounds or so I am guessing. when I hold it I feel like master chief from halo 3 when you rip those turret guns off the stands.
I like to play blackjack. I'm not addicted to gambling, I'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.

yup, I have xbox live. I got really into halo for a while a bit back, but I cant play anything much with my 2 year old daughter... especially GTA 4, not playing that while she is in the room.

Golf balls are awesome because of 2 reasons. they are hard as hell and penetrate well, and also because my barrell (1.5 inch sdr pvc) fits golf balls so perfectly...

I did indeed see your longshot, sweet gun there. a bit more compact than mine.

That thing is crazy, the way you hold it makes it seem pretty scary. But i think the ball valve is a little too small for venting, dont you need a bigger hole.

:) I can tell you are proud of your handywork. :) Beyond anything else in this video, that's what shown the brightest for me.

Oh and....nice melon blast too... :wink:

Goodness no, he's already got a 2" on there. I use 1" ball valves and with the fan running the chamber will evacuate in about 5 seconds.

Indeed it is. The biggest thing to remembering is closing it when you fire.
