Well this isn't a pneumatic launcher, but scince this is safer than a combustion launcher i decided to submit in this forum because there is nowhere else i know of to put it. Basicaly what i have created is a massive potato catapult. I wraped about 50 bungee cords around the end of a long wooden pole and put a plastic bowl at the other end of it. I created the rest of the structure of the catapult after i made the launch pole. When i first tested it, i positioned the catapult about 200 yards away from an abandoned barn. :twisted: Fire!!!!!! I colapsed the barn. Well i guess you could say it worked. :lol:

This is a pumpkin dammage pic. This pumpkin was launched by my catapult and hit the plat bed of a cherry picker truck. WOW

not a pnuematic launcher? a catapult eh? like the it and would like to see some pics, but it would work better if you replaced the bungy cords with a pneumatic ram.

Post it on my site to make it grow, I have a section just for this kind of stuff

i would bet that it will be hard to aim at a small target, why dont you try to knock down a brick wall with a rock or a block of cement? and post a video?
