Petitlu, are you an evil genius bent on destroying the world?

[Petitlu]

Thor is a nice Viking!

[MrCrowley]

Don't forget his hammer!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

I'm beginning to see a rather worrying pattern emerge here... perhaps I should keep my darts to myself hehe

[Petitlu]

"Don't forget his hammer!"

Excelent !

JSR : we are responsible!

JSR : we are responsible!

I should print a disclaimer just in case

Actually, since it will contain a battery, can you be accused of high velocity littering

[Petitlu]

I have a bio battery at Colsa fields!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Maybe I can put solar panels as fins

[Petitlu]

Excellent !

You have an idea about the shape and size of the missile?

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

If you can get a 32mm diameter barrel it's perfect. It will basically be a scaled up version of the nail darts, a finned dart with calibre sized fins and a pusher plate.

[Petitlu]

Can I have more easily in 30mm copper tube inside, otherwise the 33mm inside.
Also inside the 38mm

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Whatever is easiest for you, 33mm would give a bit more space to fit the circuitry above 35mm is uncomfortable to machine on a small lathe.
