POCKET ROCKET
I finished my new combustion launcher, all out of black iron piping, its called the pocket rocket, and measures only 13 1/2" long. a spritz of cologne sends wire nuts flying. the parts from cap to barrel are 3/4" endcap, 3/4" 6" nipple, 3/4" coupling, 3/4"-1/2" reducing bushing, and a 1/2" 6" nipple.
it took me about 5 minutes to put it together, but about 45 minutes to cut out the letters from tape.

| try some wire nuts or AA batteries, i use a small spritz bottle of cologne to power it, try putting a ligher in the open end and press the button but dont spin the flint, so just the butane comes out

| How did you get it to arc in the chamber? A wire inside the pipe or something?

That is so cool. I might try to build one from copper piping, ive been looking everywhere to try to find a gun like this! How far does it shoot? Does it fire potatoes well (stupid question but Im new to this and Im 14)?
Again thats an amazing gun. Thanks.  .
