<div align="center">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.

man, i just built a clone of this and it is great! what ammo do you use usually? i can't find anything that is a good fit in the barrel.
bye!

EDIT: also how much fuel should i use? i get it right every 4 tries but i want it perfect. i use butane.
bye!

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

the barrel isnt the same size as the chamber, barrel is .5" chamber is .75, but yes you can have the same size for barrel and chamber

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