Maddog, i made my tennis ball launcher out of pvc and now i have three interchangable barrels...
Barrel 1, is a 2.5" 2' long pvc for Tennis balls
Barrel 2, is a 1" diameter 5' long pvc for 1" super balls
Barrel 3, is a 2" 3.5' long pvc for eggs (use of a sabot is required)
but my fireing mechanism is run off of compressed air out of your typical 7 horsepower 50 gallon compressor. so no explosions to worry about... but the mechanisim is a blow-gun tapped into a 3/4" sprinkler valve (calculatiosn show 1" would be optimum however they are harder to find and increase the initial cost). complete with a pressure guage, inlet and 125 psi pop off valve in the canistor... all in the shape of a rocket launcher! total cost is about 90$ from home depot... however the fun out lasts the initial cost exponentially!
Cameron as soon as i get some pictures i will post em for ya.. i thought i showed you teh 2.5" and the 1" Barrels?
the bad thing is the sabot takes a long time to make...
use spray foam that hardens.. then you cut it out of the mold wich is just a 2" piece of pvc about 3" long but DAMN it sucks if you screw up you wasted a 2" piece of pvc...
either way Cameron if you havent seen my M.O.A.L. 250 then you havent lived... Jeff has seen it... maybe if you drag yoru ass over to my place tonight i will show it to ya... maybe even let you shoot it
