let's hope people with down syndrome aren't learning how to make spudguns and whatever else is going to be in this book

This is not a stupid book about doing stupid things.. It is about spreading cool knowledge whether its about spudding, hacking or cool tips on how to do things such as, Cutting a piece of PVC with a string. (a lot of people don't know this one.)

In the back of the book I will have different reference charts including but not limited to:

Dictionary of terms
Different ammo sizes
Barrel sizes
What pvc pipe fits in what. (1 1/4" coupling fits in 2")
DWV Vs. NSF-PW (Pressure Rated)
PVC Chemical Composition
Helpful tips/links
Helpful parts for plungers, pistons, etc.
Helpful techniques for drilling, cutting, and gluing.

if there is anything else you guys would like to see up there just list it down and I might add it.

What about equipping paint ball guns/spud guns to your car? And some other automotive shizzle. I can help on that at least :P As for hacking, does anyone know how to bypass IP filters? Im looking at you Eddbot

Bypassing IP filters is easy... Remote desktop anyone? What about circumventor sites? What about making your own apache circumventor site? Come on man...

remote desktop is always good... you could use realVNC.. it has a java applet that you can hook up that allows you to connect to your computer over the web.

but don't worry I got hacking section covered.

DWV Vs. NSF-PW (Pressure Rated)
Which really has nothing at all to do with PVC vs. ABS.

But really, there is no contest. For all of our purposes, ABS is a far better construction material than PVC, right up there with polycarbonate and teflon in terms of the most useful spudding plastics.

I like the college pranks like filling cars or whole dorm rooms with something like Great Stuff foam. Or put superglue in locks while the place is closed you don't like.

I have so many ideas for pranks it's crazy, but if You write something it becomes public which makes it either like your fingerprint,
Or some ideas if it was published and you got questioned or owned the same components it's better public because others have the same knowledge(so it can't be put on you).

At the same time some of my ideas are really bad and I try to keep in mind that there is a war going on right now and I wouldn't want the wrong people to use the info against our soldiers who are generally cool.

Also I keep hearing/ thinking that holding resentments is so bad for my health so I am trying to decide to let go or maybe get revenge and get it over with to not have them.(?)

Maybe I am a hypocrite because the hacking stuff sounds interesting, but since I had spyware one time I can't say what I'd like to do to the person/company who caused that. :oops: :evil:

We'll see how you book goes and if I have an idea to add I'd PM you. 8)
BTW Good luck

I disagree. For a basic combustion gun (non-hybrid, non-burst disk) PVC has several advantages over ABS. The most important of which is probably availability.

Polycarb and teflon? Where are you going to get either one in suitable sizes? You better have extremely deep pockets if you plan to make something out of Teflon.

Title looks like it has something to do with fascism (Feihcsim)…
And the table of contents makes it look like some military training handbook…

Why is pranks listed twice?


I could assist with the “trap/landmines”, “RPG/launchers”, and “grenades” sections, unless you’re talking about non/less-lethal. (sad thing is, that’s not a joke)




I also disagree with DYI, the only ABS I’ve seen was DWV.

Just because you, personally haven't seen the rated stuff doesn't mean it's not better ^_^

In the UK it's about as available as rated PVC which essentially means it's only available in mail/net order and not usually in public DIY shops.

It does seem to be rather harder to find in say the US but nevertheless it's still superior in properties.
