My first thought is the frames per second you can record..then the LED freq can be varied either way. I expect a match would be ideal but obviously the led can be much faster. I would make the LED flash as fast as possible and still be caught by the cam. I think that will give the best measurement. ...

What is the standard angle to really fire at? 42 seems to be what the external calculator likes. Is that what you would fire at to compare?

Either way a straight line of safe fire is a bit difficult in my neighborhood.

you could also use a double pole switch on the individual circuits that turns off the main light when pressed if current is the main concern.

By "light" do you mean LED? What power source are you using? If you are using a LED the voltage used if you wired it from source to ground after the main switch should only be about 1.2-1.5 volts depending on the diode. That's what I would do. Lowest possible drain..and if it breaks(shorts or opens)...

Thanks for the numbers Mr.C

I get the same as you (230) as is but get 183 for a 15" chamber.
Wish I had a chronometer about now

btw where do you live? USA @tghhs I'm not sure if I'm selecting the correct valve type and my numbers are correct. If you guys can look it over and let me know it would help a ton but here's what I get whit what I think I should use. http://i47.tinypic.com/14bhst0.jpg EDIT: If I cut the chamber in ...

yup and no honk...just like you said. The chamber don't take long to fill with a compressor so if anything I'll make the barrel longer. There is always some air left over now but not a ton. I have more parts to make the same gun so I'll do changes in version 2.

I don't have pics of the gun because it's not painted up yet. It's a basic over under sprinkler. Will get some pics soon.

Thanks for the tips, vids and links guys. I wanted to be sure we wouldn't be making a trip to the ER today. I'll put up a damage vid/pic later today.

Just wondered if anyone has done this before. I know a CRT has a vacuum so it will implode then spray glass. I will be hitting a 19 inch crt tv with a "c" cell battery. I plan to cover the ground with a tarp to help pick up any glass but any ideas are welcome. What's a good distance so I'm not hit b...

My first gun had duct tape all over also.I don't think I'd have the balls to stand down range with my boys aim but good for you. cool vid.

I have many ways to wreck your day...don't make me use em...lol Seriously though I grew up without a dad so i always promised myself if I ever had a kid I'd do stuff like this with him/her. Some other projects we have planed. Growing Bioluminescent Algae http://www.instructables.com/id/Grow-Your-Own...

I think my favorite part is that the neighbor girl is telling him what to do the whole time and he ignores her. Like a manly man would do...so I've heard :p

@ TwitchTheAussie love the avatar RIP Dime..one of a kind.

That's nice of you to say, thanks. It don't really do damage so sorry no pics
