mini hybrid fail

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

At least my ears have stopped ringing

I was testing this hybrid, after a few clicks it ignited at 6x, so I decided to up it to 8x, with a burst disk cut from photo paper.

The good news: it ignited on the first click BOOM!

The bad news: the burst disk didn't live up to its name, so the epoxy end cap popped out instead with a tremendous flash

If you look at the base, you can see the distortion on the chamber body and schrader valve from where it hit the wall.

Fear not however, I shook myself, nothing fell out, so apart from my slowling returning hearing all is well

[ilovefire]

i have been thinking about making one of these so i guess ill have to take it consideration that it could blow up in my face
how about if you round the ends inwards? help keep that epoxy plug in!

[inonickname]

Do it again! Do it again!

Except this time maybe drill some holes in the body for the epoxy to lug into. I know you would have roughened it, but it obviously needs moar . Maybe think about using some aluminum powder to bulk your epoxy up as well.

[Insomniac]

I think thicker tube with holes drilled near the end, sleeved in another thin tube for the sake of neatness would work well... really give something for the epoxy to grip onto.

I am gonna say just one word -> malleable iron fittings

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I know you would have roughened it, but it obviously needs moar

Obviously

I also think that maybe aluminium tubes taken from the inside of a printer cartridge aren't exactly the most suitable materials for high pressure applications...

Hehe I just realised, look what was wedged in the muzzle! This means that the barrel jammed itself into some part of my furniture at some point, then bounced off! Still can't figure out which of the holes in my furniture it is though

Hunting for Holes with JSR...

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

lol.

I just keep finding damage, looks like the chamber hit the plastic tray where I keep my ammuition on the way to the wall

[ilovefire]

would it not be smarter to test the stuff outside maybe? just an idea you know

[Gun Freak]

Jack you is finna kill yoself.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

...and let the neighbours know exactly what I'm up to?

At least now I have a new found appreciation for the power potential of hybrids, meaning future projects will be constructed with a bit more care

Jack you is finna kill yoself.

Are you suggesting I should check myself before I wreck myself

Still can't figure out which of the holes in my furniture it is though

which of the holes? There are multiple holes in your furniture?

you sir, are a true spudder.

[Gun Freak]

you sir, are a true spudder.

I think we established that a LONG while ago

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

which of the holes? There are multiple holes in your furniture?

I just did a quick check, there is not a single item of furniture in my room that doesn't have some sort of projectile related hole, and not all of them are accidental

Currently re-making this project, with a stainless steel chamber

[ilovefire]

i have just started making one today, but i have gone with the holes idea so i hope it wont blow up plus i think im using smaller bore chamber than you were, just hope i can figure out the fueling
