pretty, but for what use?

Tomorrow I'm shooting with a NeverLost, I run my projectile yellow and blue!
It will be a Mix20

lol ppl seriously
Do we really need another perfectly streamlined projectile that's too precious to be launched ??

What I said months ago - you want a long range ammo? you can make it out of pvc pipe, fittings and something heavy enough to provide high sectional density

my projectile is hollow! It has a steel ball to weigh it down, that's it!
I do not expect to find it!
This test is more for the launcher for the projectile!

Not doing too well on ballistic coefficient though, I would slim down the body a little.

Orange-boy has a PVC pipe body ;P

We need a way to find it though...

:laughing3:

Suffice to say I did NOT pack it in a cock-and-balls shape :D :D :D

Jesus, I saw this on the patator forum first and I'm still crying with laughter!

Yeah, almost thirty, and not even close to even the most basic sense of maturity :D

I made a shot with the NeverLost today, I used my blue missile! I tried to pull Mix15 ... and Fail! The ignition ...... But at MIX10, the spark has functioned! I found a piece of shot, the skirt. If I'm caught in the video, it is because I pressed the remote by accident!

Holy negligent discharge batman!

:shock:

Very luck there :-/ maybe some kind of double safety device is needed...

I told you the projectile would tear apart in the barrel ;)

I have been asleep ... the remote has a switch + one push button.

I found it odd that the projectile body is so ripped, it was not normal and removing spark plug from NeverLost I understand:
The spark plug was cut in two and part went ripped the projectile......
