SHooting or building spudguns

[dudeman508]

I was Just curious, do you enjoy having a spudgun or the challenge of desining and building a new better one. Personally i get bored just shooting a gun even one im not making or desining a new gun im trying out all sorts of new ammo

[Sticky_Tape]

We probably wouldn't be building them if we didn't enjoy it. Why would we build one if we wouldn't enjoy having one? yes & yes from me.

I'd probably have to say that I enjoy the challenge of designing and building spudguns more. Thats not to say I don't also like shooting them, but playing around in the workshop is just more fun.

Ya I didnt mean that i got bored shooting it, i meant i got bored doing the same thing with it over and over but i love making new ammo

Definitely the design and build phase for me. Having them around to shoot is great, showing them off is great, but I get most of my personal satisfaction from time at the drawing board, studying and in the shop.

In other words, you would never catch me just buying one pre-built....for spudguns that is. However, BB, airsoft and paintball stuff could be another story...they aren't my thing but if they were, I would just buy it more than likely.

showing them off is great.

Ya i like that part alot

For it's designing, building and shooting, I worked on something for a month. Then it works and shoots, then I take it to the playground with my friends . It's like raising a child

i can say that nothing is more rewarding and fun than hearing a supersonic boom outside your house moments after you simply push a small button. when you walk out you find a target with a hole in, simple as that.

not more to say because it is not possible to really know.

My top list of enjoyment, where 1= most joyful and 5 least.
1-Firing a new spudgun for the first few times
2-Building a spudgun
3-Designing a spudgun
4-Having spudguns
5-Firing spudguns

I have to say it's designing then constructing then the satisfaction of having a well made device.

The last two I could do any day of the year but new designs only come round once every blue moon.

I agree completely, after a while I do grow tired of firing a gun. The best part is designing and building, and showing it off (if you can).
I find I have to vary the ammo or target or it is just kinda repetetive. I do also quite enjoy making videos and playing about with things like shots in slow motion.

I really enjoy building and I enjoy the most the moment I find out that it works
after a lot of shooting I try new ammo or killing stuff
then I want a new gun and start designing

I like both shooting and designing, but I think being a member of this forum shows that you are interested in the design end of guns. The only cannons I like shooting are my basic pneumatics/ combustions. While adding a chamber fan, propane meter, etcetera results in better gun, it really isn't fun for me anymore. Anymore I just like shooting my aerosol ABS GB off the back porch when my friends come over. So I got to say I like shooting them better then building/ designing.

I can't seem to go a single day without coming up with at least one new design myself.
Seriously, just 5 minutes ago, it was plans for self contained semi/full auto combustions - where the only power source is a propane tank, and all venting, refueling and loading is done with spare energy from the actual firing process.

Might even be worthy of a prototype.

Building of course, and the first few shots
