Something I built a while back as part of a project to convert a golf cart into a tank.

That's pretty cool, I really like the swivelling mount. Although, please don't use golf balls for airsoft...

That's a really good looking build, looks like it works well too! If not lemons though, what would you be firing out of it then? I'm intrigued...

Yeah, it was a lemon. As far as ammo; I have created a reusable PVC round for messing around with. I haven't got anything that would be safe for airsoft yet though (put the PVC round through a 3/4" piece of plywood from 150ft out).
