Pneumatic: minipump cane

by **clide** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 9:07 pm

Once again, not really anything original about the design as it is just basically a longer v4.1. Closed it is about 37" long and completely extended it is about 6' long. I have yet to verify this, but according to calculations it should make about 200 psi in the 5.75" long coaxial chamber. It shoots over 600 fps from its longest extention. (I think 625 was the highest I recorded)

The Tic Tacs make a cool whizzing sound at that speed. One was particularly cool when it ricocheted back at me from a tree about 50 feet away. It sounded like those cartoon bomb dropping sounds then bounced right by my chrony and whizzed by my ear.

Any ideas for a cool paintjob? For the extension part I want something to indicate how far it needs to be extended for certain velocities. 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 are pretty much what I plan on marking. As for the outside paintjob I was thinking some vertical pin stripes, but if anyone has some other ideas I am open for them.

Hmm...I wonder if that would get through airport security?

SWEET! I love those Minipumps! Did you use the brass barrel - I hope that works out for you. As for paint - I'd go with 2 different colors that "go" together well- one for the pump and one for the body.

I like that cane rubber end too![:p]

EDIt - Freefall - lol -it probably would with our high caliber workers at airport security[:p]

It probably would get through security unless they made me stick it in the x-ray machine. The barrel is aluminum so I don't think it would set off the sensors, everything else is pvc.

Damn you Clide!!! You are making me think and i do not like it.

Now the taliban(spelling) will take your design and highjack a plane.
Frikking SWEET!!! I love it. How far will it shoot max? You should also put some street elbows on that so it has a handle.

Beautiful, i love it. That thing is nice as SH*T, be nice just to mess around with, as well as the other mini pumps

When you are old and need a cane use that! When your grandkids wont behave just shoot em with a tictac. I bet they wouldnt mess around when your near by.
