I like that damage to those cans,good feeling to see something you make rip something else apart with shear power.Might I suggest some shooting of large pieces of Improvised Ballistics Gel also known as cooking gelatin.

The 750fps might be a little optimistic but one of your pimpin ammo rounds at 750 fps weighing 3.5 grams has 93 joules of energy or 68 Ft/lbs in the old talk, and there is nothing wrong with that at all!

Nice to see your colours flying true!If you were a little closer to were I lived I would have chronod it for you no worries then you would have real numbers on your plate.

Thanks RNA, it was just today that i decided the need and or want to shoot a large chunk of ground up horse or cow hooves!
What size slab would you recommend?

very nice what's the chances of you getting your hands on a cheapo digicam that can take videos and giving us some kinetic appreciation of your creations' potential?

I just can't, for the bloody life of me get the f#@$% camera to co-operate with my computer. Suggestions are more than welcome- in fact anyone that can help me to the point of success gets a bag of Pimpin Ammo (size of choice 100 off*) for FREE! I'll even pay shipping

*up to and including .50cal

let's start off with, what model camera do you have?

That one.
I must say that i have no access to the camera at the moment- it is a mates.

You can buy a cheap digicam for less than 100 dollars that will take compatible videos - however with your current camera you need to rip the files and convert them .avi files.

Have a look here, you need to download this application or similar. I haven't tried these myself so i might be talking out of my arse here but it would seem that this is the route you have to take.

Bugger that, give me a link to a cheap camera site, i'll buy one at the end of the month.

lol i was just looking them up for you, give me a sec

edit: Olympus FE-270

Pentax Optio E40

Canon Powershot A460

Nikon Coolpix L10

ok, I meant less than $200

Just so you don't have to double post!, What do you think about the clean pass of the nail through the polycarb?

Edit: Is 15 frames a sec enough for good video?

hehe double post? Moi? I'm not *that much* of a post whore edited the above

I prefer to see things shatter but clucking bell that's impressive penetration!

Cheers for those links, 30 frames a sec for 200 bucks aint bad.
Expect a lot of video from moi after the end of the month!

...and it's avi video meaning you can upload it directly to youtube looking forward to some test shots, makes sure you have a good background and lighting, and if there's the possibility of ricochet i would strongly advise putting the camera behind one of those polycarbonate sheets

Not a bad suggestion with the Polycarb guard, today i was hit in the left upper arm by a "nail sabot", i always wear safety goggles and a face shield when firing though. My eyes are my life, anything else is a flesh wound

Edit: Just cuz i haven't done it before *WOOT 800TH POST*
