I'm am AMAZED that finally there is a fairly advanced spudgun in the media somewhere.
Nope, I've not heard of it, since I don't follow House anymore and I tend not to look up information on upcoming TV episodes anyway, can't be bothered.

Mike from UltimateSpudGun.com told me to be looking for a cannon on the series House. There it is!!!
I'll send him this thread so he can give us more information...

Looks like it airs on April 11th. Fox did purchase (2) BL-520s and (1) zombie slayer in January for this episode. I didn't see either in the linked photos...
The prop guys called and asked "how do we turn this down?" in reference to the BL-520. Since there was no good way to predictably slow muzzle velocity, they converted to pneumatic by adding a small tank and valve on the rear of the barrel and inside the breech cap. Also they said they're shooting sponges that look like potatoes.

It's amazing that there is finally some higher-tech spudguns floating around places other than just a few web forums. I know it's too much to hope for an improvement to our public image but still...

Look at 0:35 sec, you can clearly see the BL-520

Not all. I don't have cable. I'll have to wait till it is on netflix or have someone record it for me. It is on USA Network, not a free over the air channel.

Where are you at? House is on Fox (one of the big 4 broadcast networks), not USA Network.

Hmm, I'll have to check into that. I just plugged house tv schedule into google and the first result was for a show on USA. I see further down in the listing the FOX listing.
Hmm It airs April 11th. That is a Monday while I work nights. Bummer.

Ok guys, listen. I know this will sound weird, and alot of people will disagree, but seeing the ammo clip on the 520 and stuff made me realize, what do we do when the swat team shows up on our door because our spud gun, hybrid, or even pneumatic looks to real and they assume its a real rocket launcher or sniper or what ever? Agree or disagree I dont care, but think about it... Oh and that episode was soo cool!
