Took a video today of me shooting a golfball at a watermelon and a pumpkin with my <A HREF="http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... 6108">SG-V Golfball Gun</a> at about 70psi from 10yards away.

Enjoy!

Thanks, i'm trying to learn the intro on acoustic at the moment even though I don't play guitar...

First time for everything I guess

You trying to learn it by music notes or tabs?

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 8:22 pm**

There's a how-to video on youtube and my brother plays so he'll help me out. It's just a bunch of different chords and some strumming techniques by the looks, nothing too insane

Good luck to you, although starting off on Sabbath stuff is going to be tough, might I suggest some Megadeth?

It's Ozzy not Sabbath

Though I would say learning stuff Randy Rhoads has written of Tony Iommi's stuff would probably be a bit more difficult

I'm not into Megadeth much, maybe back in my hardcore Maiden days I wouldn've been, but they're a bit 'weak' sounding, I don't listen to anything much lighter than Iron Maiden

I agree, Megadeth can get a bit whiny at times and thats when I switch it over to Slayer.

This video inspires me to make a big bore spud gun ...

Hey i think i have just figured out what kind of gun i will be making over the christmas break

The damage to the watermelon is bloody awesome!

Why only 60 psi, 115 would have obliterated that sucker even further

70psi*

Because I didn't feel like having the golfball go through and through, into my fence, bounce back and give me a good story to tell the kids at school about

More or less it wasn't necassary, but if I manage to slip a watermelon on my mum's credit card at the supermarket again i'll crank it up to 115psi just for you Nova

They cost like $16NZD here, which is about $12USD

$12 for a melon

?? I would prob find a new type of target if I were you...

but then again, the carnage from ripping up a melon is auxilerating!
