Update: Microwave skewered by 5ft long piece of angle iron!

Nice damage you have there. But you could have taken the Flyback Transformer out of the monitor first.

I don't think I hit the flyback, but it was too dark to tell.

I couldn't get the 1st video to play, but the 2nd was great! Fire at will. Was the recoil of the angle iron real strong?

Yea pretty strong the thing weighed a few pounds, stressed out my handle as its only held on by one hose clamp.
Wasn't as strong as filling part of the barrel of water though :D

Lol. I like your signature JSR, reminds me of something I did a few weeks ago :lol:

I just realized I could have entered one of these shots in the best shot competition. :(

That angle iron is one of the most ghetto projectiles I've ever seen :lol:

That thing must have had some mad kick. What kind of muzzle energy does GGDT say you're gettting?

About 1200 ft-lbs with an 86" barrel. If I stuck on my 10ft one i would have 1500 ft-lbs :D

That's quite impressive. I'm assuming that you either have a massively oversized chamber or a 2" or higher porting piston valve, correct? What gun is this?
