Ladies and gents, I give you... Orange boy!
Needs some finishing and a final coat of paint, though this is proboably going to be lost on its first shot anyway... glad I didn't go for fluorescent pink, otherwise it would have really looked like a female pleasure device!

Jeez...with that aerial thingy it looks like it's meant to provide pleasure whilst aborting an unwanted baby
Looking forward to the test flight

At least, JSR gave me every chance that I found!
EDIT :
mine, polycarbonate, it has a steel ball inside, otherwise it is hollow

the body is a polycarbonate tube that serves to protect neon.
the cone is a yellow cap tube of glue "resists all"
the gray is a tip for Gardena watering

hahaha very interesting combination of stuff It has a poor ballistic coefficient because of low sectional density, but it should still fly a couple of hundred metres with enough pressure behind it

I do not workshop or machine tools so I do with things that already exist!
I like to have a metal lathe as you ...

I've been there

If you only want to make small parts, something like this is compact, precise, well made, reliable and doesn't cost and arm and a leg either:
Damn.. that seems like bang for the bucks... thnx.. did not know of this cheap little baby .. think ill look in to that in a near future

On another note, natas - you have machine tools, a nice big combustion cannon and seemingly loads of space to shoot over... maybe some projectile optimisation would be good for you
Neh.. so far im pretty happy with potatoes (remember i have only been spudding for a few weeks, i just build my first cannon)
Just want to have some fun, not kill anything
I can see me making some kickass ammo at a later stage, i already have a few shells on the drawingboard with changeable steel tips... first thing im gonna make is probably gasoline ammo tho, Bang AND Fire.... perfect
