I've got the interesting target and the cannon, I can have the projectile by tomorrow, day after at most but the cameras buggered off and I'm going to have to buy or rent one now :(

here's mine. :twisted:

turn off the sound for my sake, I sound like a retard.

this was taken last fall. I sound much different now.
right now its between 3-5 degrees F* outside, not the best for shooting pvc guns. so I am forced to look into "the archives"...

I saw no rule against it! (goes to re-examine rules...)

http://media.putfile.com/slug-PENETRATES

a 6 pound steel slug, shot at around 60 psi


at about 35-45 feet.(the camera's zoomed in)


the slug knocks a 60 or 70 pound oven back a couple feet from where I put it.
(think of the forces involved for a 6 pound object to move a 70 pound object!)

the slug penetrated through hardened 1/4 inch aluminum, 6 sheets of 1/18th inch thick steel, insulation, wiring, and a 1/4 inch of glass.
dont forget the fiberglass insulation (I hope it wasn't asbestos!)

I finally got my video to upload on photobucket
Just turn off the sound there is no sound other than an annoying song I noticed I put on there after I uploaded it.
Sorry for the bad quality
Here it is

I know it isnt that impressive but I didnt want to break out any of my larger guns that would cause the neighbors to report me.

I'll upload it to photobucket, let's see how that works.

EDIT: I cant find the file!

The answer to putfile download problems -- update quicktime player free download here! Thats what worked for me. No schmanman, you don't sound like a retard, you sound like a retard going through puberty! lol.

I've just made myself pizza - lovely and warm. Blend of good strong cheddar and mozzarella, peas and olives. Delicious.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
