Of course, like most of the people in here, it's nice to see what other projectiles can do, in the way of performance.
Do you ever find yourself trying to stuff small drink bottles and objects into different sizes of PVC pipe to see what might fit well? Sure you do if your a launch-a-holic!
I found that caulk tubes fit pretty nicely into a 2 inch bore.
Use a wrap or two of black electrical tape to give it a tighter seal.
Silicon Spray helps reduce bore friction.
A full tube of caulk weighs a lot, but one that is about 1/4 full to nearly empty has all the weight up front and a light tail. if they hit a solid object they can also Splat it with the last little bit of caulk in tube.
End result: I was able to shoot the used caulk tube through a 1/2" sheet of plywood. They aren't super stable in flight, so for longer distances they'll probably wobble a lot and even tend to tumble.
If there is a construction site nearby, and they are at the point where they are finishing and painting, you'll find used caulk tubes lying about, or in the trash piles and dumpsters. Always ask if it's OK, and NEVER steal full tubes, or anything from a job site.
merely taking away a little bit of their trash can't hurt.
And always clean up your trash (targets and projectiles) after a test session. This keeps the locals and neighbors off of everyone's case.
Anyone else have any good ideas for 2" Projectile fodder?
it was funny, but i lost my ammo. oh well.
