Super Slick Ammo (Literally)
Woot! This is my first thread over a page!!! But anyways.... I thought they were cool because they were low friction, uniform size, and stuff. The other balls would probably be a better choice though, as far as economics. But still, I think that buying some plastic balls from there for ammo would be pretty nice... I mean, look at how cheap the other kinds are...

yes but it still affects the performance... and better performance is well... better.jimmy101 wrote:I agree with Necrosis.
Fiddle around with GGDT, you'll find that friction has a pretty minor affect on the performance of a compressed air gun.

Or you could get some pvc rod and cut it down to like 4 inch long peices and make a cone shaped tip. They also have clear polycarbonate tubing I wonder if that would work for making a combustion chamber.
I have wondered that myself about the tubing... I think that it would work perfectly, but I have gotten a lot of cautionary statements when I suggested using it. It's not pressure rated, I have contacted the company. But, it is extremely strong and shock resistant, being polycarbonate and all. I am pretty sure that it is stronger than pvc, but then again I don't want to be responsible if someone tries it and it blows up on them.

I made a teflon round for my 33.7mm combustion, with my lungs i can shoot it about 10 metres.

When you fill your car with refined oil remember that it has been paid for with blood and guts, some from your own countrymen, most not.

Augh, that's what I hate about having different measurement systems, I wish it had been all metric, or all Imperial. 33.7mm has no meaning to me, nor does 10 meters. So, I have to fricken convert it. Ok, so its just over one inch in diameter, and you launched it 110 1/2 feet??!?!? That doesn't sound like its possible.... Pretty impressive sounding if you ask me...

mm to inches -> divide by 25.4 -> 1.327 inches
metres into feet -> divide by 0.3048 -> 32.808 feet

Hey, did you read the part where it said I wish it was the same Imperial or Metric?
LOL, I really screwed up my math somehow.... Hey, it was late..
