yeah but come on Jeff! lets face it the launcher i built is just crazy COOL!
not to mention we just launvched a 1" superball over a mile.... MUH HA HA HA HA HA! well im sure it coudl have gone alot farther but we hit the metal roof we were aiming at! and we clocked it to be about 9/10th os a mile or so! 600FPS!
can you say RACOON KILLER? yeah i think we might have to tone down the velocity of that thing just to be safe! it is getting scary that the ball travels so fast that our eyes have a hard time following it and with the vidoe camera we have to slow the frames down to about 1 frame per two seconds! to follow the thing leaving and once it gets to about 100 yards its gone!
this thing is gonna get me into trouble!

Remember, even though you're a big kid at heart, you are an adult with the law

Don't shoot anybody...

yeah a 1" projectile at 600 fps there is no way im shooting it in a populated area at all! this was out the back of my buddies house to an abandoned steel shed! oh yeah that woudl kill somone thats for sure! i couldnt imagine how bad that would suck. besides its just for fun. i turned it into a test but the tennis ball thing is just cool! a maximum of 70 meters or so! but it IS cool!

i cant wait till the next gathering so i can bring it! its just a good time had by all if you know what i mean.

It helped that my claims adjuster is a friend too....

This is the bulk of why things are so damn costy with the repair. Note the trailing arm bent to 90 degrees from where the rim impacted the arm..



And here you can see that the axle snapped inside the rear Diff. all being replaced with new. Also, note that the shock is broken at the weld.
