I would like to be first to say: That is Awesome!
Unfortunately, it breaks some of the rules and regulations of the site; solid propellants and explosive rounds respectively. That still doesn't change the fact it is really neat. If you would, please post a video of it firing.

EDIT: Ah! Beaten by two people!

Yes, but I also commented on how awesome it was :roll:. Not reading the rules may be a problem, but the way I see it, he is only doing this on one offense, and shouldn't be drilled into him too much. God forbid, the first three posts already chewed him up.
