Sounds like you were shooting a L.A.S.E.R. That plinker of yours sure is powerful...

As VH_man said, that was my Monsoon :D The Image Laser Image like sound is down to the cellphone, but hey, it's sound!

As to the combustion, the epoxy's hardening nicely, should be ready for testing when I get back from work :) here it is with the cap in place:

It's late, you can already hear my colleague moaning in the background after the shot - more *proper* damage pics to follow :P

As to the sound, I'm guessing it's mostly BBs impacting with the metal door hehe

Schweet homemade endcapage there jack...and really nice shot flame. Nice to see you renewing interest in combustions.

Cheers :) not much to look at really, just 2 pieces of pipe epoxied together, but here you go.

Update 23/11: I haven't really fired it much, namely 'cause it's far too loud for the quite suburban residence we occupy. As such I decided it would be worth sacrificing some power to at least have something I can use, so I cut down the chamber to 20cm, giving a new C:B ratio of around 0.45:1. Will try it out tomorrow and see how it goes :)

Update, tried it out with the new 0.45:1 ratio and, well, still loud as *profanities* :roll: but hey, it works :)
