Jsr was talking about using a quick connect to make a ballistic knife in another thread(cant find it), so i gave it a go. Its quite powerful at only 75 psi it made it thought a ester egg and 1 peace of card board, not bad since it has no barrel. The blade is made from a broken hack saw blade pretty sharp.

haha that is awsome

So all you really need is a blade and a QD without an internal check valve? Neat

yeah thats all there to it. just gotta leave the rubber washer in there. its only good for about 200psi because its super hard to open any higher.

I like the look of the knive/QD combo.

Another interesting thing, you now have a bayonet for anything you can make and simply attach a female QD to the end.

What a simple and brilliant idea. Leave it to JSR. I'll be making a few of these now..

Good, will like to see what you come up with. If you want it for long range(2m+) you will need a front heavy blade. This one will fly about 5-6m, most of it sideways

Very nice! Shame about the lack of "barrel" - adding a hollow "handle" as per the original design would not only give more acceleration but also act as a drag stabilisation device to make it fly straight.

Not really my idea though, I just took this idea and replaced the spring with compressed air:



Looking forward to what you might come up with, might give it a go myself when I get home... in about a month, grrrr....

i could mod what i have, like

Now here is a knife projectile! 12.7 mm bore, about 175 mm long with about 37 mm diameter with blades open.

kotabuuki posted a vid about arrow like them in the Archery thread i didn't know how power full bow were in till i saw the jsrs post

I've got one put together with some PB quick-connects, any ideas on how to make the knife more stable while still remaining a knife?

add a hollow pipe to the back it should bring the cg forward.

Interesting thought Duane... a "magic wand" style arrow-launcher, hmm...

I don't see how I could do that with out it getting in the way of the handle. I might try the design with the rod through the male QD, but I'm afraid it wouldnt add much stability... It most important that it resembles a reall knife
