<div align="center">Flynt 5000

Provided by Flynt

Removable rifled barrel. 4" double "Y" Chamber. Heavy Duty Video Camera Tripod w/quick release.

Gun is balanced so that it will sit on tripod without tipping over.

Easily launches spuds 4-500 yds. Has a fairly good recoil. Put a spud through a half inch of
plywood at 150' using Shure deodorant. Will soon upgrade to Propane.

Just felt like posting rule 24# after reading your post.
24) Threads may be kicked up, as long as the post doing the "kicking" is relevant. There is no need to say "ooo this thread is 2+ months old!". If a thread is kicked up by a post such as "cool!", then the reply may be deleted. Kicking up topics is the effect of telling people to search.
Rule #24 wrote:ooo this thread is 2+ months old!
Should be more like "ooo this thread is 8+ months old!".

Dont freak out or call me something stupid. Just dont do it again. Dont post "Sorry" either just learn from this.

How did you make the handles, I was thinking of a simular model to mount on my go-cart.

And could you have the ignition source on the handle? Just wonderin. :D

the handle is a tee fitting cut at the bottom and strapped to the chamber with hose clamps then you can use elbows and caps to complete the hamdle part

Knock it the hell OFF! STOP kicking these up just to say COOL!

NOTE FROM PIMPMANN22- Dont reply to such people, rather PM a mod so I dont have to delete 2 instead of one post. This post is being left so others and you will hopefully learn.
